Chapter 363 Aging

"Da da da~" The sound of Charles' boots stomping sounded in the empty corridor.

Under normal circumstances, Hope Island's Governor's Mansion is so deserted. Maid servants and the like will come in when necessary for cleaning and tidying up, and most of them don't need to stay in the Governor's Mansion.

"Lily? Are you in there?" Charles pushed open the door of the kitchen and found that the little guy didn't steal food inside.

"Strange, where did this little girl go?" Charles had searched all over the Governor's Mansion, but he couldn't find his gunner.

Things have been a little busy lately. Now that I think about it, Lily seems to be a little bit out of order since she came back. She often disappears for a day, and she doesn't know what she is doing.

Charles went to a mouse hole by the door and kicked the side of the hole with his foot. "Where did your boss go?"

There was no reaction in the hole either.

"Could it be that the rebellious period has come?" At this moment, Charles suddenly thought that besides these places, there was another place that he hadn't found.

He walked quickly to his bedroom, grabbed the sheet and lifted it, and saw the familiar figure from under the bed.

The little mouse sat in front of a book and read it intently.

"Lily?" Charles, who was kneeling on one knee, tapped the bed frame with his steel prosthetic limb.

The little mouse turned around and slowly crawled out of the bed on all fours. "Mr. Charles..."

Seeing Lily's sluggish look, Charles felt a little surprised. He held up the little mouse with his hand, and stroked her furry head with his fingers.

"What's the matter? Are you still sad for the doctor? Don't be sad, no one can hide from life, old age, sickness and death, and he can live to be 98 years old in this crazy world, which is already a good ending."

Hearing this, Lily's body trembled slightly. She kept arching her small head towards Charles' fingers.

Charles reached for the book Lily was reading and glanced at the cover. The Romance of the Governor's Daughter and the Pirates

"The author of Earthsea chose the title quite straightforwardly." Charles said with a smile.

He flipped through it casually, and found that it was a clichéd love story again, and in terms of plot, the scenes in the governor's daughter's bedroom appeared quite frequently.

"Lily, why do you always like to read this kind of book? This kind of book is not something you should read at your age."

Who knew that these words seemed to have stimulated Lili, tears fell from the corners of Lili's eyes, and her high-pitched voice was very aggrieved.

"Why can't I even watch the things you and the monster sister can do! Although my mother said that girls can't say these things, I just want to say it! I just want to watch! I'm a mouse, so I still want to Why are you ashamed!!"

Charles was a little frightened by Lily's excitement. After knowing him for many years, this was the first time the little girl lost her temper with him.

He stretched out his hand to comfort her, but he didn't expect Lily to jump off his hand.

"I'm not your little pet, I'm a human! I want to live a normal life like you!!"

Looking at her tightly clenched little paws, Charles knew that she was really a little angry.

"Okay, Lily, what do you want me to do?"

"Don't talk to me in this tone! I'm not a child anymore! I don't want you to coax, you talk to me in a normal tone, just like when you talked to that monster sister!!"

Charles looked at Lily in front of him calmly, "Of course you are not a child, you are my gunner."

Lily's tears kept rolling down her face, waving her little paws and crying hysterically to Charles: "You say that every time, but you treat me like a child every time! I'm not young anymore!! But I'm dying of old age!!"

"I'm dying of old age!!!"

"I'm dying of old age!!!"

"I'm dying of old age!!!"

Lily's voice kept echoing in Charles' mind, and his heart gradually began to panic.

Charles, who was tense all over, jumped up, held Lily firmly in his hand, and looked at it carefully.

The hair is falling out, the whiskers are drooping, the skin is sagging, and all the signs indicate that Lily's life seems to be nearing the end just like the doctor.

"When did this happen? Lily, think about it, how long has it been since you became a mouse."

Seeing that Charles was so nervous, Lily felt even more aggrieved, she nestled her head against Charles' tiger's mouth and burst into tears. "Woooooo~Mr. Charles, I'm really scared~"

Charles didn't dare to delay any time, he grabbed Lily and rushed out directly.

As soon as he stepped out of the gate of the Governor's Mansion, Charles saw three followers of the Illumination God greet him. "Your Excellency, His Excellency the Pope said that it is fine for you not to leave for a short time, but you must at least set a definite time, right?"

"Go away! I don't have time to deal with this right now, the voyage plan has been postponed indefinitely!" Charles jumped onto the roof next to him, and quickly rushed towards Linda's residence.

On the top floor of a four-story apartment, Charles found the ship doctor who was enjoying afternoon tea.

After learning about Lily's situation from Charles, the bald woman immediately turned serious, quickly took out the medical kit in the room, and began to carefully examine Lily's body.

Seeing Linda looking at Lily's teeth for a while, and putting the stethoscope on her chest for a while, Charles' heart couldn't help but hang to the highest point.

Seeing Linda stop what he was doing, Charles asked anxiously, "Linda, how is Lily's health?"

"She has entered old age, but it doesn't mean that she is going to die soon. I don't know what kind of mouse Lily belongs to and how much life is left. Judging from her current physical condition, she should be able to live for another four years if she is properly raised. months."

Charles' heart loosened and then tightened. Although Lily would not die for the time being, she would still die of old age after four months. He had to thoroughly find a way to rescue Lily within these four months.

"Do you have a solution? Has the doctor taught you some special methods?" Charles asked Linda very nervously.

"Captain, this is impossible. There is no cure for aging. If there is a way, the teacher will not just die like this."

Charles found himself a little anxious and confused, asking a doctor about such a thing.

Without saying a word, he grabbed Lily and rushed outside quickly.

The first thing he planned to go to was the Navy Headquarters, and he wanted to use the intelligence department to find a solution, but Lily's words made him stop.

"Mr. Charles, it's useless. I asked the big man to help me find it a long time ago, but I couldn't find anything, and when you didn't come back, I asked the mouse friends to go out to the islands to find a way, or they also There is no news."
