After discussing a few more details, the meeting concluded.
Sitting on the sofa, Charles rubbed his prosthetic eye. He reached in, pulled the spider out, and watched it spin around in his palm.
He suspected the eyeball had been custom-made for Elizabeth's two-meter-tall frame; after stuffing it into his own socket, it felt ridiculously tight.
The sensation of his two eyeballs staring at each other was truly bizarre. While he was staring, entranced, Shanshan suddenly appeared on his desk.
"Dad, what are you doing?" Shanshan reached out, took the spider in her hand, and poked it gently with her finger.
Looking at the flailing spider, an amusing idea flashed through Shanshan's mind. With a mischievous glint in her eye, she vanished from Charles's sight.
Shanshan reappeared above the World Crown and tossed the large spider into the miniature kingdom within. A smile touched her lips as she watched the exaggerated reactions of the little people inside.
