Chapter 819 Communication
"Thank you." Looking at the gift his daughter bought for him on the bracelet, Charles felt warm in his heart. This warm feeling was really the first time for him.
Shining smiled slightly, "Father, in fact, Mom has been waiting for your gift, but she has been waiting for you to mention it first."
"What?" Charles looked at her unexpectedly,
"You won't forget it, right? The wedding ring! You promised her yourself, so you won't forget it?" Shining's face was full of surprise.
"I haven't forgotten, of course I haven't. How could I forget such an important thing?" Charles turned his head to look at the crystal clear heart.
Shining is full of helplessness, no need to guess, he must have forgotten.
"Actually, I know that there are some hidden conflicts between you and your mother that have not been resolved. In fact, my mother doesn't need anything. She just wants your attitude."
Charles looked down at the watch on his wrist, and after thinking for a few seconds, he raised his hand and rubbed Shining's head. "Don't think about it, your mother and I are very good, there is no conflict."
There was a hint of worry on Shining's face. Although Charles' words were too fake, she didn't expose it.
She grabbed Charles' mechanical fingers with both hands and shook them gently, and said with a worried tone: "Dad, I know you are not good at expressing, but there are some things that others don't know if you don't say them. Just say it."
Obviously, Winky is using this opportunity to resolve the rift between Charles and Anna, which is difficult for outsiders to detect. He knows what Anna is doing behind Charles' back, but he doesn't say it.
As she gets older, Shining is not only thinking about herself, she is also thinking about her family.
She not only explained some things to Charles, but also communicated with her mother. Her father once implicitly asked her to restrain herself, but as far as she knew, her mother did not restrain herself.
Charles nodded, reached out and patted Shining on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it, I like your gift very much."
Seeing a crack, Shining breathed a sigh of relief, "Well, as long as you like it, the heart problem has been solved, so you should be fine tonight, right? Why don't we call mom back and have dinner together."
"Okay, you have the final say."
Winky nodded, and disappeared in front of Charles in an instant with a flash of white light.
Raising his hand and looking at the watch in his hand again, Charles recalled those words that Shining said, he smiled lightly, and walked briskly outside.
As soon as he came out of the office, Charles saw his butler standing there waiting with Lily's black cat in his arms.
"Your Excellency, I am too old. Forgive me for not being able to manage the entire Governor's Mansion with physical strength and energy." Butler Charlie said with a haggard face.
It was always said that the Governor of Hope Island was moody, paranoid and crazy, but as a person who worked silently in the Governor's Mansion, Charlie didn't think so. The Governor was not tyrannical to the servants and maids in the Governor's Mansion.
If he had to use one word to describe his attitude, it should be ignoring. The governor is too busy, he is always thinking about things that are far more important than these trivial matters, and he doesn't care about them at all. Rather than saying that they are serving Dear Governor, it might be better to say that they spend most of their time serving the Governor's Mansion with 72 rooms.
Working in this kind of place is actually very easy. If Charlie felt that his body could no longer support him, he would not want to retire.
Charles looked at the old man in front of him in surprise, "Is someone taking over your job?"
"Well, yes. Butler Mark will take office tomorrow."
Charles glanced at the black cat in his arms, nodded, and walked towards the door.
"Where is the Governor going? The driver is waiting in the garage." Charlie struggled to keep up with Charles' rapid pace.
"Don't follow me, I'll just walk around."
Of course, Charles didn't just walk around casually. He was looking for his first mate's bandages this time, and he was going to see how the other party's injured body was doing.
Soon at Saveto Hospital in Hope Island, Charles saw the bandages in the intensive care unit. Lying on the bed, he looked the same as before, except that the bandages on his body were updated.
A half-grown teenager was sitting beside him, peeling an apple with a knife, that was Bandage's younger brother.
Seeing that the bandage was struggling to sit up, Charles quickly stopped the other party's move, "Don't move, your injury is very serious now."
"No. It's already healed. It's my mother who made me stay here." Bandage's words were full of helplessness.
"Captain, do you have anything to do with me?"
Hearing the other party's question, Charles nodded. After he took out the diary and opened it, he was ready to start recording.
"I heard Linda say that you saw 004? And she also said that part of your reply was about his memory? Said you saw that thing before?"
Hearing this, Bandage nodded silently, and he slowly stated to Charles what he knew.
When everything was over, Charles frowned and looked at everything he had just recorded in his diary.
Item number: 004
Project name: (undecided)
Item Hazard Level: God
Item Description: A strange snake with its head and tail intersecting. The color scales on its body are very gorgeous and will change over time. According to the statement of the bandage and the experience of the crew, it can be seen within a radius of 50 kilometers around it. Has the ability to warp time, and the ability to pass through walls.
Its strength cannot be determined for the time being, but judging from the experience of the foundation, its strength is far stronger than ordinary gods.
And from the mouth of the bandage, I also learned that 004 has the act of devouring other gods, and it is temporarily impossible to analyze whether it is a kind of ability belonging to him or a common habit of other gods.
"Captain, what are you recording?" Bandage looked curiously at the incomprehensible boxes on the diary.
"It's nothing, just record irrelevant things." Charles put the diary away and stuffed it back into his arms.
Charles didn't explain to the bandage why he wanted to record the god's information, but changed the topic directly.
"Do you still remember the notebook I gave you? It's hard to recall a memory, remember to remember it quickly, or you will be in trouble if you forget it."
"Remember. I used to be the high priest of the giant bird of suffering." Bandage knocked on the drawer of the bedside table next to him.
"Ha, your experience is really amazing. You can be seen everywhere in the whole world." Charles jokingly said, he has long been used to the origin of the bandages, even if this kid recalled one day, he had traveled through In the past, I was not surprised at all.
After sitting next to the bed and talking with the bandage for a while, Charles pulled his quilt and walked towards the door, "Take a good rest, I'm leaving, and come to the Governor's Mansion for a drink when you have time."
Looking at the background of Charles going away, Bandage's eyes were thoughtful. He seemed to have doubts in his heart, but he didn't ask them.
"Brother, the governor has seen you lying on the bed, so he probably won't let you go to work anymore, right?"
Taking the handed apple, Bandage nodded, "Should. He won't let me go again. He definitely intends to. Let us stay safely on the island and don't want to take any more risks."
"Really?" The boy perked up.
"It should be. I've been with him for a long time. I thought I knew him very well. But now I don't know what he is going to do." There was a trace of confusion in Bandage's eyes.
It is understandable for Charles to hide some things from himself, but there is one thing he can't figure out now.
In the past, no matter how crazy his original goal was, Charles had a clear goal from beginning to end, but this time it was different. He felt the wavering in the other party's heart, and he seemed to be hesitating. Goals change all the time.
"Isn't it better not to take risks? When you and the governor were desperately fighting on the surface, my mother and I were worried. I was afraid that the postman who knocked on the door that day would be the postman delivering black letters. Now that life is good, it is on the island. Have a good time."
Bandage nodded silently, opened his mouth and bit the peeled apple in his hand.
After chewing lightly a few times, he turned to look at his younger brother. "It's so sweet."
