When the first ray of sunlight in the morning shines through the window and falls on Carl's face, the fine hairs look like a thin halo.
Warm and peaceful.
Carl opened his eyes, looked to his side, and the smile on his face suddenly froze.
Carl closed his eyes again, took a few seconds, and then opened them again.
Looking at "Penny" beside him again, there was an extremely gentle smile on her face.
"Morning, Penny."
Carl thought he would hate the sun.
But now the sunlight shines through the window glass, enters the room and falls on me.
Karl actually felt very enjoyable, and couldn't help but stretch out lazily on the bed, somewhat reluctant to get up.
In fact, half a year ago, or perhaps more than half a year ago, Carl began to feel that the sunshine was a kind of enjoyment, but Carl now does not remember it.
I stayed in bed for a while, looking at "Penny" and chatting with her lazily.
About half an hour later, it was almost eight o'clock, and Carl got up reluctantly.
Because the Governor said he would come at 8:10 and take me to my future workplace at 8:30.
Dress not only yourself but also "Penny", then take "Penny" to wash up, and wait until everything is done.
8:05.
There are still five minutes left, and time is not tight. Carl's sense of time has always been very good and accurate.
So Carl began to match some small accessories for "Penny". Although Penny didn't need to go out, Carl felt that these should still not be omitted.
After all, no matter where it is, no matter where it is, no matter whether anyone appreciates it or not.
Girls always want to be pretty.
"Bang~"
The door opened and the Governor walked in.
"It seems I came at the wrong time."
Carl glanced at his watch. It was exactly ten past eight. "No, sir, you are here at the right time. You are very punctual."
"Haha, after all, punctuality is a virtue." The Governor walked over with a smile and placed the only plate in his hand on the table next to him.
Carl adjusted Penny's hairpin, made sure it was okay, then helped Penny stand up and led her to the plate.
"Well, sir, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a while." Carl smiled shyly.
"Haha, this has already been agreed upon, hasn't it?"
The Governor smiled indifferently, pulled up a chair and sat down on the other side of the table.
Carl nodded, took the plate and started cutting the steak.
This was indeed agreed upon in advance. The Governor only brought breakfast for "Penny", and these twenty minutes were originally for Carl to feed "Penny".
Carl was cutting the steak, looked up at the Governor, and said,
"Sir, if I eat out with you every day in the future, I hope you can give me some raw materials and a frying pan, so that you don't have to run around every day. Penny only needs to eat two meals a day, and I can prepare them for her in the morning and evening."
"Don't you think it's troublesome?" asked the Governor.
"No, and the steak you sent wasn't actually fried very well. Perhaps it would be better for me to control Penny's food myself."
"Is that so..." The Governor was slightly stunned, then nodded, "Okay, I'll take you there later and I'll move those things to you first."
"Just wait until I come back, sir. There's no rush. Also, sir, you promised me that you wouldn't let anyone except you and me get close to here."
"Yes, I promised, and I will do it. Since there is no rush, you can just go and familiarize yourself with it today. You can come back early in the afternoon and move things with me."
"Yes, sir."
Carl picked up the last piece of meat with a fork and put it into "Penny"'s mouth. After "Penny" swallowed it, Carl picked up a handkerchief to wipe the corners of "Penny"'s mouth.
"Okay, Carl, let's go."
"But, sir, the dishes are not washed."
"I'll wash it later."
"Okay, sir, thank you very much."
Carl nodded and brought "Penny" back to the bed. He patted "Penny"'s shoulders gently with his hands and put his mouth close to "Penny"'s ear to whisper comforting words.
After about a few minutes, Carl said goodbye to "Penny" and left with the Governor.
After going out, the Governor locked the door with the key and handed the key to Carl.
"Karl, you will keep the key from now on, but you must remember to close the door after you leave to avoid unnecessary accidents. You understand, right?"
"Yes, sir." Carl took the key and put it in his trouser pocket.
"Also, you can move freely in Woodbury from now on, but you can't bring Penny with you for the time being. After all, Carl, you know."
"Well, sir, we will make Penny completely better, and then I will take her with us." Carl nodded confidently.
"Of course." The Governor smiled and patted Carl on the shoulder, "Let's go."
"Um."
Beyond the Governor's "office building", arriving at the streets of Woodbury, the Governor took Carl to the building on the far right of Woodbury.
Some of them look like factories and do not appear to be places where people live.
The Governor took Carl inside. It was a little dark inside, but the Governor's destination was an even darker place, the basement.
Because of the darkness, Carl subconsciously moved closer to the Governor.
The Governor smiled, put his hand on Carl's shoulder and walked down.
The basement is spacious, with a few high-wattage lights. The dim light is barely bright.
There were a lot of things here, most of which seemed to be instruments or something like that, but Carl didn't recognize any of them.The Governor led Carl inside and shouted, "Milton, I brought your assistant, come and have a look."
"Governor." This was a middle-aged blond man wearing small glasses and a pink striped shirt, but compared to the Governor, he was not as refined.
"Governor, are you kidding?" Milton saw Carl beside the Governor and was a little bit unbelievable.
"What do you think?" The Governor's face suddenly darkened.
Milton said somewhat displeasedly, "But, Governor, do you want me to take care of your child? How can I continue my research like this?"
The Governor narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a somewhat dangerous arc.
"Your research? Then tell me, after so much research, what results have you achieved? Is there any progress?"
When talking about this, Milton suddenly became a little flustered, and quickly smiled awkwardly and said;
"This... Governor, this is only because I don't have a suitable experimental subject. Otherwise, I will definitely be able to achieve results. But Governor, before that, you need to give me some time."
"Haha... I'll give you time. Who has ever given me time?" The Governor sneered, and then said in a tone that could not be refused:
"Karl will stay here in the future, but I have changed my mind. He is no longer your assistant. You are his assistant. Karl will be the one in charge here in the future."
Milton was stunned, and so was Carl.
However, facing the governor who was obviously getting angry, Milton did not dare to say much.
But Karl said directly, "Sir, I don't know anything. How can I be here..."
Facing Carl, the Governor smiled and patted Carl on the shoulder.
"Karl, you can do it. I believe in you."
"But..."
