Chapter 220 Self-binding

Feeling the somewhat depressing atmosphere, Rick was a little overwhelmed. He just looked at Carl, intuition, no, not intuition, about a few small things just now.

Rick could see, it was obvious, that Carl was no longer the same Carl, and had even changed drastically.

Rick could understand that it was normal for a growing child to go through puberty and rebellious times, but Rick was not sure in which direction Carl's growth would take.

Rick felt very guilty. He blamed himself as a father for not accompanying Carl as he grew up, and for leaving him at the most critical and important moment in his growth.

Rick was at a loss as to what to do. Carl stopped being intimate with him, and it was obvious that it wasn't just because he was dirty, it was simply because things were different.

It turned out that in my previous home, when I was a county police officer, I would sometimes come home in a mess.

At that time, when Lori urged me to take a shower and change clothes, I always waved my dirty hands to tease Carl.

Carl always screamed, "Dad, don't come over here, it's disgusting."

But that was different, not like now. Carl was smiling then, although he was also afraid of bumping into him. But now, Carl's expression was very calm.

Carl now gives Rick a sense of distance, which makes Rick very overwhelmed. Rick doesn't know what attitude to use to face Carl.

Sean seemed to see Rick's embarrassment and confusion, patted Rick on the shoulder, and smiled at Carl:

"Karl, where have you been all this time? You said you would explain to me what happened."

Rick was startled for a moment, then reacted and quickly asked Carl, "Carl, they said you were missing? What happened? Why did you come back so coincidentally?"

Rick is in a very mess now. He just received the news that Carl is missing. Before he had time to feel sad, he encountered an invasion by foreign enemies. Then suddenly at the end he was told that Carl was back.

Rick himself didn't know how to describe this feeling, it just felt so unreal.

Carl paused and glanced at the room with the bedroom door, "If you want to know, I can tell you, but gentlemen, you need to keep your volume down, someone is resting."

"Carl, who are you living with? Is it Lori? Kid, I miss your mother so much, can I go call her?" Rick stood up, a little excited.

Karl glanced at Sean, and Sean immediately smiled awkwardly. Karl retracted his gaze and said lightly, "No, it's not my mother. Father, if you want to know what I have been through during this period of time, please sit down and be quiet, okay?"

"Not Lori?" Rick was a little confused, but he still sat down. Rick looked at Sean, "If not Lori, then who? Any other kid?"

"Ahem." Sean just laughed dryly and shook his head. "Let's talk about this later, Carl, don't you want to tell me?"

"If you want to know." Carl nodded and said calmly, "It's nothing, it's very simple. After Moore and the others got lost, I was seriously injured and then I was rescued by the Governor's group."

"Is it that simple? Does he trust you so much? He keeps you by his side and gives you a gun. I feel like he treats you very differently." Sean was a little unbelievable.

Karl curled his lips, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly, "Of course it's not that simple, but there's nothing specific to say."

"Carl, maybe you should talk about it." Rick looked at Carl worriedly and a little awkwardly.

"There's nothing much to say." Carl shook his head and looked at Sean again, "Tomorrow I'm going to meet the people you captured. Some of them are not bad people.

They can join us. Also, if they are all captured by you, Woodbury will not have much defense now. We can move everything from Woodbury here.

There are a lot of people and resources, and we will need them, but this matter will have to wait until I meet the others tomorrow. Try to be quick. You can make some preparations first. I will go too, maybe after I meet them tomorrow. "

Seeing Carl's serious look and his commanding tone in his words, Rick couldn't help but frowned and looked at Sean again.

Sean nodded, "Okay, Carl, everything is fine as long as you are willing. I have to say, it's really great to have you back, although I have said it many times in my heart."

Rick frowned even more tightly. Why did Sean act so as if it was a matter of course? And why did Sean and Carl seem to get along better than him and Carl? He felt a little sad.

Karl nodded and was about to say something when his face suddenly changed, becoming somewhat ferocious, and his body couldn't stop shaking a few times.

"Carl, what's wrong with you?" Sean quickly supported Carl's body, and Rick also stood up excitedly.

Karl shook his head and said reluctantly, "I'm fine, I just need to slow down."

"Carl!" Rick shouted anxiously, and looked at Sean nervously, "Has Carl contracted some serious disease recently?"

"No, I don't know." Sean shook his head, also very nervous, and looked at Carl nervously.

"I said, I'm fine." Carl rubbed his head, "It's just that some things can't be delayed too long. Forget it, let's go meet those people now, and then go to Woodbury early tomorrow morning."

"Carl, are you okay?" Sean slowly breathed a sigh of relief, then asked in confusion, "Why now? It's already very late."

"Because I want to, I really want to." Karkar said softly, "Wait for me, let's go talk to Beth, and then we'll go see those people."

Carl stood up, his brows still slightly frowned, his head still aching. Is this just a self-defeating move?

I pushed open the bedroom door, closed it, walked to the bed, held the bed with both hands, raised my head, and happened to see a pair of green eyes.

Karl was slightly stunned, "Beth, didn't you sleep?"

"It's a bit noisy." Beth yawned and suddenly saw Carl's face clearly in the moonlight. "Carl, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"No, no, Beth, I just came to tell you that I have to go out for a while, but I will be back soon." Carl shook his head. He was indeed much better now. When he saw Beth, he smiled at her.

"Where are you going?" Beth seemed to have suddenly lost her sleepiness and nervously grabbed Carl's hand.

Carl was slightly stunned, then he smiled gently, leaned over and kissed Beth lightly on the face, "I'm not leaving the prison, and when I say leaving, I just mean leaving this room."

"But I still don't want to, Carl, you know? Even now, I'm still afraid that I'm dreaming. I'm afraid that as soon as I let go of your hand, you will disappear from my sight."

Looking at Beth, who was looking up with trembling eyes, Carl's heart softened. He lowered his head and moved closer, so close that they could feel each other's breathing.

"Then I won't go. Well, I won't leave. Wait for me, I'll go tell them to leave."

"No, Carl, it shouldn't be like this."
