The Walking Dead: reborn as Carl

Chapter 178: Chapter 181 Just



"Carl."

"Yes, sir."

"Karl!"

"Sir? What's wrong? You're right in front of me, why do you keep calling my name?"

The Governor stared at Carl with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see through Carl.

Carl frowned slightly and looked at the Governor with some confusion.

"Carl, tell me, what's going on with Penny?" The Governor tried his best to control himself and asked the question in a calmer voice.

Karl was stunned, his brows furrowed even tighter, and he became more confused.

"Sir? What are you talking about? What happened to Penny?"

"Damn it! Bang!" The Governor stood up suddenly, slammed his hands on the table, and roared, "Tell me, what's going on with Penny!"

Karl subconsciously moved his body back a little, frowned, hesitated for a moment, and said slowly, "Sir, you should calm down, I really don't know what you are talking about."

After a pause, Karl bit his right index finger, as if thinking, and after a while, Karl said hesitantly;

"Sir, are you asking why Penny is so close to me? But she doesn't like you, her biological father?"

The Governor was stunned. This was not what he wanted to ask, but he also wanted to know the answer to this question, so he nodded.

Carl smiled, "Because I am always with Penny. I like her very much. I will do a lot of things for her, from combing her hair as you taught me, to washing her face, brushing her teeth, cutting her nails, bathing her, feeding her, walking with her, chatting with her,

A lot, a lot, but sir, you only know how to comb her hair, and you are not gentle. You blamed me for hurting Penny. I know it was my fault, but Penny said that you often hurt her, too, much more than I did.

What's more, you tied up Penny, put a hood on her, and restrained her. I don't even want to admit that you are Penny's father. I even think you are a pervert!

If Penny hadn't told me that she knew you loved her, I would have absolutely... "

The Governor shook his head, somewhat reluctant to admit it, but had to admit, no, no, this was not right.

The Governor took the wine glass and drank it all, then slammed the glass heavily on the table, looked at Karl, and said what he had been reluctant to say.

I have been deceiving myself, something I don't want to admit.

"Karl!

Penny,

No!

It's not her, it's it!

It's a zombie! You know it!

The zombies, the zombies you have killed, the zombies without emotions, the zombies who only crave blood and flesh!

If I could, would I want to tie up Penny? Would I want to lock her up in this little room? Do you think you love her more than I do as a father?

Don't I want to comb her hair? Don't I want her to wash her face and brush her teeth? Don't I want to be like other fathers, taking my daughter with me and playing with her? "

Carl was stunned at first, but as the Governor continued to speak, and as the Governor kept crying, Carl finally couldn't help it!

Finally he collapsed, stood up suddenly, slammed the table, and yelled in despair:

"No! Sir, Governor, stop it! Stop it! No, it's not right, it's not right! It's not like that!"

The Governor was stunned.

Carl suddenly stopped shouting.

He pushed the chair away, squatted down, hugged his head, and cried bitterly.

The Governor stared at Karl blankly, opened his mouth to speak, but didn't know what to say. He sat down blankly, poured himself a glass of wine blankly, and drank it all in one gulp.

He continued to pour the wine, continued to drink it all, continued to do this over and over again, ignoring Carl.

Carl's sobbing gradually stopped. He stood up, his face full of tears, and looked at the Governor with tears in his eyes.

But Karl's eyes were full of determination. He opened his mouth and was about to say something, but was interrupted by a sudden sob. After sobbing, Karl spoke again;

"Sir, you are wrong. You are seriously wrong, but I am even more wrong. I almost believed you. How could I believe you?"

"What's wrong?" The governor was stunned, put down his glass and looked at Carl.

"Penny is not a zombie." Carl said confidently, "Sir, have you ever seen such a well-behaved and cute zombie? Have you ever seen a zombie that doesn't bite people? Have you ever seen a zombie that you can hold hands with and take a walk with?"

"Carl..." The Governor paused, "This is what I wanted to know in the beginning. How did you make Penny so different? I thought she had recovered her memory, but it seems that she didn't."

Karl said without hesitation:

"Sir, let me correct you. It's not me who made her become this sheep. Have you ever thought that she was like this from the beginning? It's just that you instinctively reject her and distance yourself from her because she was bitten by a zombie."

"This is impossible. I visit her almost every day! How could I reject my Penny?" The Governor was a little angry, but he suppressed it.

"But…" Karl hesitated.

"But what? Tell me quickly!" The Governor stood up anxiously, took two steps to Carl and grabbed Carl's shoulders.

"You hurt me, sir, just like you always hurt Penny, but you don't care about Penny's feelings, you only care about yourself.

Every time you hugged, every time you hugged Penny, or grabbed Penny, you were as hard as you are doing to me now. Penny was in pain, but you didn't care about her, you only cared about yourself.

Even if you are with Penny every day, even if you say a lot to Penny every day, but sir, have you ever thought about it?

You were just talking to yourself. You didn't care about Penny's reaction. You just wanted to vent your emotions. Whether you were combing your hair or talking to Penny, you were just comforting yourself. You never really paid attention to Penny's reaction. "

The Governor's hands became weaker and weaker, and he gradually let go of Karl's shoulders. Deep remorse surged into the Governor's heart. At this moment, the Governor couldn't even tell.

I visit Penny every day. Is it because I hope she will recover, or is it really like Carl said, just venting my emotions and comforting myself?

Carl opened his mouth, wanting to continue bashing the Governor, wanting to seek justice for "Penny".

But seeing the Governor's dazed look, Carl closed his mouth and rubbed his arm that was hurt by the Governor's grip.

After sitting down again and hesitating for a while, Carl said, "Sir, you shouldn't do this. Penny wouldn't want you to do this. Penny doesn't blame you. I just felt unfair for Penny."

The governor shook his head, returned to his seat, and wanted to pour the wine, but paused. Then he picked up the bottle and put the bottle mouth to his mouth.

"Cough cough..." The Governor choked himself after taking a big gulp, but also managed to regain some composure.

He turned his attention back to Karl and asked softly, "Karl, I want to ask you a question."

"You ask, sir." Carl nodded.

"Karl, I did do a lot of things wrong, but I want to know..."
