Chapter 199: Chapter 210 Gains and Losses
Eye to eye,
Both of them were stunned.
Both pairs of pupils were in disbelief.
The emotions are different, though.
There was more surprise in the pair of pupils.
The other couple, on the other hand, were worried about gains and losses, and even felt guilty and fearful.
They all recognized each other, even though they had all changed, even Rick's change was so drastic.
His eyes were somewhat cloudy, and his messy, gray beard almost covered his entire face.
But Sean still recognized him at a glance. Some things did not even require the use of eyes to distinguish. Sean's feeling told him that this was Rick.
"Sean..."
Rick spoke slowly, his voice trembling, still with some disbelief.
Rick slowly walked up to Sean and opened his arms, wanting to give him a brotherly hug as usual.
But Rick stopped his actions again. Sean was holding a baby in his arms, a very cute baby.
The stranger's approach did not make her cry in fear. Instead, she opened her eyes wide and looked at Rick curiously.
Rick couldn't help but smile, and even stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Judith.
But Sean was a little cautious, or perhaps guilty, and hugged Judith back.
Perhaps realizing that this was inappropriate, Sean stopped again.
Rick didn't notice this, perhaps because his attention wasn't on this, and asked with a long-lost smile,
"Sean, whose child is this? Yours? I never thought we would meet again."
"This..." Sean didn't know how to start for a moment.
"Give me the little girl, you two can chat slowly." Daryl walked over and extended his hand to Sean.
Sean nodded and handed Judith to Daryl. Sean had already been completely reassured about Daryl, even with More.
Even after what happened with Carl.
"Hey, little girl, did you pee on your dad today?" Daryl held Judith in his arms, teasing her with a smile, and walked to the other side of the lawn.
As for Sean and Rick here, Daryl doesn't want to get involved in those fucked up things.
It's hard to explain these things, so when Moore said the name Carl, Rick reacted violently.
Then there was more commotion and repeated confirmation several times before Daryl remembered that this savage-like guy seemed to be somewhat similar to the photo Carl had given him.
After that, of course, Daryl and Maul helped Rick and Michonne deal with several pursuers, and then brought them back. As soon as they came in, they met Sean who was walking on the grass with Judith in his arms.
And then there was the scene just now.
Of course, on the way, both Daryl and Maul tacitly agreed not to mention those nonsense things, but just told Rick that many people were here.
People he knew, Lori, Sean, Carl. Although Carl was not here now, it was still necessary to bring Rick back.
Originally Rick was very skeptical, but originally Rick didn't want to doubt. Even if it was a lie, it was a perfect lie and Rick was willing to believe it.
But life outside has made Rick suspicious and he finds it difficult to trust anyone.
But when Daryl and Maul told Rick their names and physical characteristics one by one, Rick believed it and felt at ease.
But there is always a huge difference between hearing and seeing. The moment Rick actually saw Sean, the excitement in his heart was indescribable.
It's like being in the abyss, where there is no sunshine and hope, but there is a feeling of the sunshine representing hope shining straight on you.
"Hey, let's go too," Maul said to Michonne.
"Why? What is going on?" Michonne was very confused, and inexplicably felt worried and anxious.
"Hehe..." More laughed evilly, "Go away first. If you want to listen, Mr. More can explain it to you slowly. This matter will be interesting if we talk about it again."
After hesitating for a moment and looking at Rick again, Michonne finally followed Maul's pace.
"Who are you anyway?"
"Who? Haha..." Moore smiled, "Who could it be? They are just a group of survivors gathered together."
"I want to know about Rick."
"Damn, I don't know shit about Rick, but I know something more interesting."
"What?"
"hey-hey..."
…
The smile on Rick's face gradually faded. It was too obvious that something was wrong with Sean. "Sean, what's wrong with you?"
"Rick." Sean called out, and then gave Rick a big hug.
"Dude, what's wrong with you? You seem to be doing much better than me. Why do I feel like you're the one who needs comforting?"
Rick also patted Sean's back heavily, and a smile reappeared on his face.
"Rick, you should take a shower." Sean pushed Rick away, but the expression on his face was still indescribable.
Rick smiled helplessly, but didn't mind. "Do you think I don't want to? But it's hard to even drink water, where can I take a shower?"
"Maybe you can take a shower first, change into clean clothes, and have a good sleep." Sean felt a little guilty.
"No, there's no rush. Sean, do you have anything you want to tell me? And what about Lori?"
"Rick." Sean called out in embarrassment, and then said with a somewhat painful expression, "Sorry, Rick, I'm sorry."
"What's wrong?" Rick was slightly stunned and a little unable to react."I..." Sean wanted to tell the truth, but how should he tell the truth?
I thought you were dead, and then you had an affair with your wife, and your wife gave birth to a child for me, um, that's what you just saw.
Sean believed that if he said this, Rick would immediately pull out the Colt Python from his waist, because Sean knew that if it were him, he would do the same.
Maybe I should wait, wait for the right time, and tell Rick in the right way...
Sean stopped talking, took out a cigarette box, handed one to Rick, then lit one for himself and took a deep puff.
Sean spoke again, "I'm sorry, Rick, I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of Carl."
"Carl..." Rick's hand holding the cigarette froze, "What happened to Carl? Moore, the one who brought us back, said he had been looking for Carl."
Rick suddenly raised his head, staring at Sean with his eyes fixed, "What the hell is going on, what happened to Carl?"
Sean took a deep puff of the cigarette, looking a little lonely and a little guilty.
I actually used Karl's matter as a shield. Although this is indeed what I should say, it should at least not be an excuse to replace myself.
But things had come to this point and Sean couldn't change the subject any more.
"Carl...Carl is missing."
"Missing? Is it really missing?"
It's not that Rick wants to doubt, but he has to doubt it. Before the end of the world, the probability of finding a missing child was no more than 50%, not to mention the current environment.
"Sean, you know, I had already accepted everything, but now, even if it's just you and Lori, it's already a pleasant surprise."
"No, Rick! You can't think like that!"
