The Walking Dead: reborn as Carl

"Karl, you seem to have become much more humorous."

"Believe me, not many people are lucky enough to see this kind of humor."

"Haha, I'm honored."

"Yes, Mr. Grimes."

"So Carl, has your love for waffles remained the same?"

"Who knows? Anyway, I haven't eaten it for a long time. I almost forgot what it tasted like, so why would I even like it?"

"Yeah, it's been a long time." Rick's expression suddenly darkened.

"Three hundred and eighty-seven days, to be exact."

In front of Carl's eyes, the scenes of that day seemed to appear. It was a night, and Sean anxiously took himself and his parents out of the city.

The long lines of traffic, the noisy sounds, the honking of horns, crying, yelling, shooting on the ground, the sound of helicopter propellers spinning in the sky, and the sound of the radio.

It seemed that it was on that day that I met Sophia.

Carl narrowed his eyes slightly. It didn't matter anymore. His previous life didn't matter anymore. The reunion with Rick was still worth remembering, but after that, there was no need to remember it anymore.

"Carl."

"Um."

"Why doesn't Lori see me?"

"Mom doesn't know how to face you."

"What's the meaning?"

"I think you already have a guess." Carl turned his head and looked into Rick's eyes.

Rick was slightly stunned, his body was a little stiff, and his eyes were full of disbelief. Indeed, Rick had some guesses, guesses that he was very reluctant to believe.

Suspicion has become one of Rick's dominant character traits, and their performance is too obvious. Sean, Lori, and Rick are so familiar with them.

Even though we were separated for more than a year, three hundred and eighty-seven days as Carl said, the time we spent together was much more than that.

It is no exaggeration to say that they are familiar with each other to the bone. One is his colleague, brother, and comrade-in-arms, and the other is the love of his life, his wife.

How could Rick not understand them? Their abnormality was indeed obvious, but Rick was unwilling to believe it.

Indeed, he was unwilling, but the meaning of Karl's words was very clear.

"Carl, what are you talking about?" Rick looked at Carl with trembling eyes. Although he already knew it, he still didn't want to accept it.

If it was anyone else, it would be fine, but why Sean?

Carl bit the inside of his lips with his teeth and said slowly, "My mother and Sean are together and gave birth to a child. Her name is Judith."

"Shit! Bang!" Rick punched the car door hard, scaring Glenn in front of him.

I couldn't help but turn my head back, opened my mouth, closed it again, and continued driving.

Carl glanced at Rick, frowned slightly, hesitated, and tried to comfort him in the gentlest voice possible;

"Father, I hope you can calm down. This matter..."

"Why should you be the one to say this? No matter who says it, it shouldn't be you!" Rick suddenly turned his head and glared at Carl with an angry face.

"I think this is the best choice for me, father. I can't blame anyone for this. I can only blame fate. Things have developed to this point, and there is not much room for maneuver."

Karl pursed his lips. If this mess had nothing to do with him, Karl really didn't want to get involved.

The real difficulty is not to get Rick to accept what has happened. Carl believes that this is acceptable to Rick, and of course he has to forgive Lori.

The hard part is what to do in the future? Sean definitely loves Lori, and now they have Judith, so it's time for their relationship to heat up.

Besides, so much time has passed, Lori has probably almost let go of Rick and has officially started to devote herself to her relationship with Sean. After all, they have Judith as their emotional bond.

As for Rick, Carl knew very well that Rick loved Lori very much, perhaps even more than himself.

Carl didn't feel anything strange about this. It was just the way it was, and he didn't want to be more important than anyone else.

But Rick obviously couldn't let go of Lori so easily. He might even think that Lori was in Rick's heart for the time he was away.

He has also become a spiritual pillar for Beth like himself.

This is the crux of the matter. How will the three of them live in the future? Who will Lori be with? It is impossible for the three of them to live happily together, right? Stop talking nonsense.

The key now is whether Rick can accept the news, whether he will be impulsive, and whether he will have any bad thoughts. Although it is normal to have bad thoughts, I can't let him do that.

But contrary to Carl's expectations, Rick's emotions calmed down very quickly. Although the emotions on his face were still complicated, at least he was not too obviously excited.

"Yeah, that's right, you can't blame them. I can understand it. Blame me, it's all my fault." Rick's words were quite self-deprecating.

"Father, this is not your fault."

"No, I know, just blame me. I left you when you needed me the most. I was away for so long, 387 days, or even longer.

Even in the modern world of the past, who would wait for a husband who had been away for so long? Especially now, in such a dangerous world, I can understand, really. "

Rick burst into tears, feeling very uncomfortable. He was clearly filled with rage, but he couldn't vent it. He was even drenched in the cold water of self-blame.

"Sean, he's a good man. He's taken care of you for so long. I can understand that. Really, I can understand that.

I have no right to expect anything. Seeing you again is already a great blessing to me."

Rick's eyes were a little cloudy and his expression was somewhat painful. If possible, how could he want to leave Carl and Lori.But things in life are always contrary to our wishes.

Looking at Rick, Carl bit his lip, hesitated, and said nothing more, but just grabbed Rick's hand to comfort him.

Now that the most important information has been told to Rick, the next step is for Rick to slowly accept this reality and we will talk about the future later.

At least Rick's reaction was not the worst. He went straight to Sean in anger and fought him.

Instead, he felt guilty about himself, which made Carl feel a little uncomfortable. Carl felt that he should comfort his father at this time.

Because if nothing unexpected happens, at least in a short period of time, Lori will not be able to accept Rick again directly, and then Rick will only have her as his son.

But Carl opened his mouth several times to speak, but he didn't know what to say, so he gave up the idea of ​​comforting her. He was really not good at comforting people.

"Father, how have you been doing outside during this time?"

Since you don't know how to comfort people, just change the subject. You can't just watch Rick suffer, even though Carl doesn't care about Rick's experience.

Rick shook his head and said nothing.

"How did you and Michonne meet? Have you always been wandering around together?"

Carl frowned slightly, sighed softly, and shifted his gaze to the window. Perhaps Rick needed some time to calm down.

"We're almost there." The intercom next to Glenn's driver's seat rang, "All vehicles slow down and proceed according to the plan."

"Got it." Glenn picked up the walkie-talkie and replied, then turned his head to look at the two people behind him.
