Oh Doc is already making links between the dead wife, the baseball bat, the man left behind. He's got assumptions mapped out in his head with lines to link various ideas together. He will not speak of it of course. No need to hurt a man even more if this is how they are going to go.

"Bit of magic. Then she threw me down a well for 130 years." Suffice to say, he maybe should have thought it through more fully before committing to anything. Though he can't tell Negan whether he regretted saying yes to her. He made it out. Got his revenge. Still alive, right now anyway.

"I have tasked myself with assisting and protecting my friend's great great granddaughter." Suffice to say, that is a complicated relationship. One he doesn't feel the need expounding upon. "I do-- care about her, deeply." There is only the slight problem that she does not love him back.
