Chapter 161: Chapter 164 Children
Dr. Stevens stopped, turned around, and was about to speak.
Suddenly a voice came from outside the house.
"Dr. Stevens, I heard that the child has woken up?"
It was a somewhat deep male voice, with a kind of magnetism unique to middle-aged men, very sexy.
The door was pushed open and a man walked in. He was very tall, with an upright figure, and his long windbreaker highlighted the curve between his waist and hips.
The shirt is neatly tucked into the belt, and the tight-fitting trousers have sharp dividing lines. This is a somewhat delicate man with great masculine charm.
A man's charm does not actually lie in his appearance. He is not particularly handsome, but he can give people a very charming feeling.
For example, the golden Rolex that was inadvertently revealed on the left hand.
But when Carl saw him, his pupils shrank slightly and he looked like he had seen a ghost.
The Governor! It's the Governor!
Although he had never seen him before, his appearance was so familiar to Carl that he could tell from the first glance that he was the Governor!
"Your Excellency the Governor." Dr. Stevens bowed slightly.
"Dr. Stevens, you don't have to do this, you know." The Governor smiled gently, "I want to see the child first."
As he spoke, the Governor walked to the bedside and noticed Karl's shocked expression, and couldn't help but feel a little confused.
At this time, Stevens also walked up to the Governor and said:
"Governor, this child is very cute and sensible. He knows how to be grateful. He has mentioned to me several times how grateful he is to you. Your decision is right. Such a child is worth saving."
The Governor smiled and said:
"Haha, you are right, right? But it's the same, Dr. Stevens, you have been very hard-working during this period. Maybe you should take a rest. I want to talk to this child alone."
"Of course, I just wanted to make some porridge for the child. He will need something to eat. By the way, Governor, his name is Carl."
"Little Carl, this is the governor, not a bad guy. To be precise, he saved you. After all, I can't do anything without his order." Stevens waved to Carl and left with peace of mind.
Carl narrowed his eyes slightly, having recovered from his shock. The location of the small town was not far from the prison, and also not far from Woodbury where the governor was.
From this perspective, it makes sense that he was rescued by the Governor's men, in addition to those in his own prison.
"Child, is your name Carl?" The Governor sat down beside Carl's bed and gave a gentle smile.
"Well, my name is Carl." Carl nodded slightly and looked at the Governor with a mysterious look.
"You can call me Governor. I'm curious about something, kid. Can you tell me?" The Governor looked at Carl with interest.
"If I knew, I would." Carl tried his best to look more like a child.
"Just now, why did you look at me like that? Shocked? Surprised? It seemed like there was some other meaning. Do you know me?"
The Governor narrowed his eyes slightly, the smile on his lips faded slightly, and he carefully observed Carl's expression.
"Because…" Karl hesitated and was silent for a long time. Karl's eyes began to moisten, and he choked up and said:
"Because you look a lot like my late father, I thought you were my father at the time, and I was about to call you father, but then I suddenly thought... I thought..."
"Oh, damn, kid, it's okay, it's okay, it's over." To Carl's surprise, the Governor stood up, bent down, and wiped the tears from the corners of Carl's eyes with his fingers.
Carl stopped talking, but kept thinking about the things that made him cry, looking at the Governor with tearful eyes.
"Kid, have you always been alone outside?" The Governor patted Carl's body to comfort him.
"No, it was with my father before, but my father wanted to protect me..."
"Child, you are very strong. You must have suffered a lot outside." The governor's eyes softened a lot.
"I... wuwuwu..." Carl faced it with tears.
"Okay, little Carl, it's okay. Now you are in Woodbury, you are safe. You can live here without worries. It's safe here and you will like it here." The Governor comforted.
"Thank you... Thank you, Governor." Carl said with a sob.
"Haha, there's no need to add the suffix 'adult', little Carl, how old are you?" The Governor chuckled.
"Not even twelve yet." Carl tried his best to hide his usual mature air and make his voice more childish amidst the sobs.
"Damn it." The governor's face suddenly turned cold.
But then the Governor reacted, put away his cold expression, showed Karl a fake smile, stood up and said,
"Little Carl, you just woke up and you should have a good rest. You don't have to worry about anything here. You just need to take good care of yourself. If you need anything, you can tell Dr. Stevens directly, or let him tell me.
Then I won't bother you anymore. I'll come to see you again when I have time."
"Um…" Karl began hesitantly.
"What's wrong? Little Carl, you don't have to be restrained. I don't mind whatever you want to say." The governor said with a smile.
"Governor, I want to know where all my belongings have gone," said Carl.
The Governor narrowed his eyes and looked at Carl's expression carefully. "Are you talking about the Glock and the dagger? Child, you are still young, and it is very safe here. You don't need them for the time being."
"But... they are my father's legacy to me, along with my watch, Governor. I want my watch. It is the only thing my mother gave me."
Karl pouted his lips slightly, looking pitiful, as if he was about to cry but couldn't.
The Governor was slightly stunned, then walked closer and touched Karl's head, "Son, I didn't take your watch. Maybe you can ask Dr. Stevens, but she took it off when she cleaned your body."
"Yes, thank you, Governor."
"Well, I'll be leaving first. Carl, stay well and recover. When you're better, I can show you around Woodbury."
"Goodbye, Governor."
"See you."
After the Governor left, Karl narrowed his eyes slightly, then closed them, and pulled up the quilt with some effort to cover most of his face.
Carl couldn't let others see his current expression. At the same time, Carl finally understood why the people here wanted to save him.
Because he was the Governor, wasn't Lieutenant Wells, the National Guard helicopter pilot, also rescued by the governor?
Carl could not reveal anything about the prison, so he could only disguise and deceive. Fortunately, Carl's lies came out fluently and did not arouse too much suspicion from the governor.
But Carl was still a little worried that he was too late in his disguise. When facing Dr. Stevens, he didn't know that this was Woodbury.
Carl did not deliberately disguise himself, and his behavior at that time was actually not normal. A child woke up in an unfamiliar environment, with no familiar people around him, and he did not cry or make a fuss.
This is not normal, and one can only hope that Dr. Stevens doesn't take it too seriously.
Although this is not really a serious flaw, in Carl's impression of the Governor, he is very suspicious.
