章節 181: Chapter 184 But
Then, Carl looked at the Governor, who had been standing there, with some confusion;
"Sir, do you have anything you want to say? Or is there something?"
The Governor nodded, looked at "Penny" and then at Carl, and smiled, "I have thought about it carefully for a long time, really a long, long time."
The Governor paused and continued, "I really shouldn't have locked Penny up here, nor should I have put you here. I think you should be allowed to resume your normal life."
Karl said without hesitation, even a little nervously;
"Sir, we are fine here, really fine. We don't need to go out. We live very happily here. It's really fine, sir. I appreciate your consideration for us, but both me and Penny have gotten used to it and like it here."
The Governor did not rush to speak. He narrowed his eyes slightly and observed Carl's eyes carefully.
That's why the Governor opened the door a little more to let in more light so that he could see Carl's eyes clearly.
The eyes are the windows to the soul, and a person's eyes will not deceive. Both Carl and the Governor know this.
The Governor saw a lot from Carl's eyes.
Sincerity, nervousness, fear, terror...
The Governor didn't feel that he could fully understand the emotions in Carl's eyes, but he could understand most of them.
The Governor looked into Carl's eyes and said seriously;
"Karl, you can't just live in such a small room forever. I know you are already familiar with it, and it even makes you feel safe.
But you can't keep doing this, Carl.
How long has it been since you last saw the sun?
You need the sun, you will need it,
Penny needs it, too. She will need it, as will everyone. The sun can make you feel alive and breathe the breath of life."
Carl said hesitantly, "But...but Penny...she doesn't like the sun."
The Governor smiled and then asked, "Carl, do you like celery?"
Carl was a little confused, but nodded, "It's okay."
"What about carrots?" the Governor continued.
"I like it very much." Carl seemed to have been diverted by the Governor and was no longer so nervous.
"Damn it." The Governor smiled helplessly, "What about pork? You won't like it."
"Well, I really like it…" Carl also laughed. Although he didn't know why he laughed, he just wanted to laugh when he saw the Governor's expression.
"Damn it." The Governor scratched his head in annoyance, "What about the math problems? You don't still like them, do you?"
Karl thought about it carefully, because this question was indeed too far away for Karl, and after a while he said:
"I can't say I like it or hate it, but it's quite interesting anyway."
"Damn it, Carl, don't you have anything you hate?" The Governor shook his head helplessly and laughed;
"Forget it, I won't give examples. Just like what I just said, celery and carrots, many children don't like them, including Penny.
But even if they don't like it, they need it. Humans must take in vitamins, just like plants must receive sunlight.
Like it or not, Penny may not like the sun, but that doesn't mean she doesn't need it. Carl, you have to get out of your comfort zone.
I know that this room gives you a lot of security, but people always have to learn to grow up. Didn't you say you like Penny? Then you must become a man to protect her, and I can safely hand her over to you.
Otherwise, do you want Penny to spend the rest of your life with you in such a dark room?"
"But…" Karl was still a little hesitant.
"But what is it? Carl, you can tell me, no matter what it is." The Governor touched Carl's head gently and tenderly.
It is truly gentle, without any affectation.
"But the way Penny looks, sir, we know that Penny is not...but others may not think so." Carl said this with great difficulty.
The Governor was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly, "Karl, I will settle you down well, you can rest assured, this is my Woodbury, here, I have the final say."
"But…" Karl was still hesitating.
"But what?" The Governor smiled indifferently.
Karl thought about it carefully, then shook his head embarrassedly, "Sorry, sir, I don't know, I just acted on instinct..."
"It's okay, and Carl, have you forgotten? If you're still here and I'm the only one who knows, what if I keep forgetting to send you food? What if I don't send it for a few days?
Carl, you must contact the outside world, at least you, it's decided!"
The Governor patted Carl on the shoulder and spoke in a tone that could not be refused.
"But..."
"No buts. Now, I'll give you ten minutes. In ten minutes, you come with me to take a look at your new home. I've already prepared it for you. Go and see if there's anything missing. I'll come back and make it up for you."
The Governor stood up, tilted his wrist toward the door, and glanced at his watch.
Carl was slightly stunned, "Is it just me? Where's Penny?"
The Governor smiled and said, "I just want you to go and take a look first, and then we will take Penny over. Okay, you can't refuse me on this matter. If you refuse again, you don't want to know the consequences.""Can you give me more time? I still have to wash the dishes?"
"No, hurry up."
"All right."
Carl pouted slightly, took "Penny" by the hand, brought "Penny" to the bed, helped "Penny" to sit down, then leaned his head against "Penny"'s forehead and whispered softly.
One was mumbling something.
Until the Governor urged.
"Karl, it's time to go."
"Okay, sir." Carl nodded quickly, and then kissed "Penny" on the forehead reluctantly, "Penny, wait for me, we will be back soon."
Then, he followed the Governor and walked out the door.
This time the Governor closed the door tightly before Carl could react.
"Sir, what are you doing!" Carl was a little angry.
"In case of any accidents, Carl, I understand how you feel now, but you need to be more rational." The Governor gently supported Carl's shoulders.
Carl was stunned.
"Okay, let's go." The Governor patted Carl on the shoulder and walked out.
"Sir, it's not even daybreak yet."
The lights in the room were on, but outside the room, there was obviously no light.
"Well, it's not even light yet. Sorry to disturb your sleep."
"I'm not sleepy. Because of your negligence yesterday, we went to bed early."
"Haha, I'm glad you're not sleepy. Karl, please walk with me."
"Ah? Sir, didn't you ask me to go and see the room with you?"
"Yeah, but that can wait. I want to go out for a walk and enjoy the early morning breeze in Woodbury."
"But...but Penny is still waiting for us."
"You are not allowed to refuse."
"Okay, wait till I swear, I will tell Penny about it when I get back."
"Haha, whatever you want."
