Chapter 186: The Legendary Agent, the End of Peggy Carter
"I should thank you. Thank you for freeing Bucky!"
Captain America's voice came from behind. Steve didn't turn around, but just waved again.
Click——
Steve pushed the door open and walked into the ward.
Sharon was peeling an apple for a woman who looked even older than Captain America.
It is obvious that the octogenarian lying on the hospital bed is the legendary agent, Peggy Carter.
Time really is merciless...
Steve shook his head silently.
This is the sadness of being an ordinary person...
No matter how glorious you are when you are young, you will be nothing but a pile of skeletons when you are old. . . .
But he, and the people around him, are different.
He was very glorious when he was young, but when he got old... Well, he will never get old!
He will always be young and prosperous!
And he will keep the people around him young and prosperous forever!
Steve came and sat down next to Sharon. Peggy, who was lying on the hospital bed, also looked at him with mixed feelings in her eyes:
"Steve, long time no see..."
Steve nodded, took Sharon's hand, and smiled.
"Peggy, long time no see..."
Peggy was visibly stunned when she saw Steve holding Sharon's hand.
But just when Sharon's expression became a little panicked, Peggy smiled with relief:
"It seems you've found your purpose in this new era, and a new beginning in love. I'm so happy that Sharon is the one accompanying you. I watched her grow up, and she's a good girl. I feel reassured knowing she's by your side..."
Sharon's expression changed from surprise to joy. She couldn't help but hug Peggy and burst into tears of joy:
"Thank you, Aunt Peggy. Your approval means a lot to me. Thank you!"
Peggy was one of her idols since childhood. After she got together with another idol, Captain America, this idol she was with was also Peggy's former lover. So Peggy's blessing must be extremely important to Sharon!
Peggy patted Sharon on the back with a kind smile on her face:
"I'm old, and I can't keep walking with young Steve forever. So promise me that no matter what happens in the future, you won't leave him alone again, okay?"
"He's been alone long enough..."
Sharon let go of Peggy and looked back at Steve with a firm expression:
"I will, I will always be by Steve's side, no matter what happens in the future!"
Even if one day Steve told her that she was a Hydra worker, she would still stand by him unwaveringly!
Steve smiled and winked at Sharon, and mouthed:
"Don't worry, I won't let you escape from my grasp. You will always be mine~"
Even if Sharon didn't say it, Steve would not let Sharon leave him.
He will not break up those who are already together, but for the woman he really likes, he will never add another hat to his head.
Whether it is Sharon, Hela, or Wanda who is still in the process of development.
Once they have a relationship with Steve, they are destined to never leave his control unless they die.
Understanding what Steve meant, Sharon's face turned red again. She didn't feel disgusted by Steve's words at all, but instead became more intoxicated by them.
He is so domineering, I like it so much!
Tsk, as expected, love makes a person brainless...
Peggy looked at the two people who were so in love, a trace of envy and loss flashed in her eyes, and she slowly said:
"Sharon, would you mind stepping out for a moment? I want to talk to Steve alone..."
Peggy's voice interrupted the eye contact between Sharon and Steve.
Sharon looked back and forth at Steve and Peggy before leaving with peace of mind.
Although it’s not nice to say that.
But she had to say that at Aunt Peggy's current age, it was absolutely impossible for her to be with Steve, so there was no need to worry about the two of them rekindling their relationship!
Unless... Steve likes older women who become more fragrant as they age...
But that is obviously impossible.
Steve is not a pervert, how could he be interested in an old woman, especially one so old.
You know, most men are teenagers until they die. When they are 18, they like 18-year-old girls. When they are 88, they like 18-year-old girls.
After awakening her superpowers, Sharon returns to the age of 18, confident that she can make Steve love her forever!
After all, she now has a unique talent, she can shine!
After Sharon left, Peggy put her hands on the bed and tried to get up. Steve stood up and helped her sit up. After hesitating for a moment, he said:
"Peggy, actually, I can make you young again now, if you're willing..."
It's not that Steve is interested in Peggy.
To be honest, Paige didn't have his aesthetic in mind.
He just looked at the once heroic and legendary female agent, who now had difficulty even getting up. Even though he was not her Steve in soul, this body was still her former Steve, which made him feel a little bit of pity.
Changing the reality of her age was just a piece of cake for him now, not even a small matter, so he didn't mind doing such a small thing for his original self.
However, faced with this temptation that ordinary people absolutely could not refuse, Peggy simply held Steve's hand gently and shook her head calmly:
"Steve, life and death are determined by fate. I know you've become different, as powerful as the gods in mythology, but that's your fate, not mine..."
"My becoming young again won't change the world in any way. Instead, it will bring you endless trouble. The world needs you, but it no longer needs Peggy Carter..."
"And maybe it's time for me to find him..."
Steve was startled, and looked at Peggy who was holding his hand with complicated eyes: "He has always been with you, hasn't he?"
Peggy's old but still clear eyes were filled with tears, and her tone was sad: "No, he is Steve, but he is not the Steve I know. My Steve is gone, and in fact, you are not my Steve, right?"
Steve held Peggy's hand, silent, not knowing how to answer.
Yeah, Captain America isn't, and neither is he...
As the smartest woman in the world, how could Peggy Carter not realize that the Captain America who returned to her was actually the Captain America from another universe?
How could he not realize that this 'fake' of himself is not the original Captain America of this universe...
Peggy didn't wait for Steve's answer. The clarity in her eyes gradually faded, tears fell from her eyes, and her eyes lost their luster.
She held Steve's hand tightly and murmured in a sad tone:
"Steve, I'm never going to see you again, am I?"
"You still owe me a dance. I always remember that I've been waiting for you, but I never saw you..."
"You . . . . can't come back . . . . Steve . . . . "
Chapter 187: The Heroes of the Ten Thousands, Civil Martial Arts, and the Ten Rings Gang
A drop of water suddenly dripped onto the back of Steve's hand. He was startled and touched his face, only to find that he had shed a tear without knowing when.
Am I crying?
Ha, how is it possible, how could I cry!
It must be this body, the damn residual reaction of this body!
Steve was tough on his face, but he still held Peggy's hand silently, waiting until she fell asleep from exhaustion.
It was all he could do, for Peggy Carter and for Steve Rogers. . . . .

Steve walked out of the ward and closed the door gently.
"Peggy, actually, she knew everything, but she never told me because she knew I wasn't her real Steve. I only found out about this after she developed Alzheimer's and when she was having an attack..."
Captain America leaned against the wall outside the ward, his head lowered, his eyes also full of bitterness.
It's not just Peggy who has regrets in her heart. Even he, who chose to stay in the parallel universe to make up for the past, also has an indelible regret in his heart.
He would also never see his Peggy again...
“Take good care of her . . . . . .”
Steve patted Captain America on the shoulder, left a word, took Sharon, who was sitting silently on the chair at the end, and left without looking back.
He doesn't know how to comfort people.
He couldn't comfort them either.
From beginning to end, he was just a passerby to the two of them.
Since that day, Steve never saw Peggy or Captain America again.
It wasn't until several months later that news of Peggy Carter's death came.
She passed away peacefully.
The day before she passed away, she stood up as if she had a last burst of energy, and her mind became very clear.
She went to the dance hall she often went to for the last time, drank red wine for the last time, and put on the red dress that she had kept for decades and had not worn again.
The last time she put on this red dress, she was waiting for Steve, waiting for Steve to ask her to dance...
