Chapter 761

It was as if she had forced herself into a dead end and couldn’t walk out no matter what.
Brian’s gentle and patient voice was still heard outside. “Baby, don’t you want to eat? Daddy doesn’t want to eat either. Daddy will eat candy with you, okay?”
After a while, Brian heard the sound of the door lock being turned.
He relaxed and said to the room, “Austin, then I’ll come in.”
He gently pushed open the door and looked at his daughter’s tear-stained face. He bent down and picked her up.
He had read in a book that if children were autistic, they must not show any negative emotions like worry or sadness in front of them. This would only increase their psychological burden.
Even though his heart ached terribly, he still smiled, wiped the tears off her face, and handed her a piece of chocolate.
Brian placed her on the bed and said softly, “Daddy is a little tired and hungry. Baby, do you think I should eat or sleep first?”
His words successfully attracted Austin’s attention.
She tilted her head and seemed to think seriously before saying, “Then, eat first.”
“Then I’ll bring the food in, okay?”
Austin nodded.
Grace watched as Brian carried the food in. Only then did she feel relieved.
While eating, Brian coaxed Austin to eat a little more before patiently coaxing her to sleep.
Grace sat on the sofa outside in a daze.
Jaclyn sat beside her and said, “I think Joy likes her father very much. Why don’t we let Mr. Brian stay here for a while? He can accompany Joy every day. This way, her illness might recover faster.”
Shawn and Jaclyn knew that Brian’s Grandpa had been obstructing them. They loved Austin very much and didn’t want to see Grace take care of Austin alone.
The couple was very grateful to
Grace. They had always wanted to take the initiative to look after
Austin. Two days ago, they had
suggested letting Austin and Grace live here.
Grace thought about Brian’s performance during this period and nodded. “I’ll have
to trouble you, then.”
“It’s no trouble. We can’t be happier to see Joy every day.”
After chatting with Grace, Jaclyn went to wash the dishes.
Carson looked at his sister’s ooked at
exhausted appearance and
comforted her. “Grace, don’t worry Austin is a blessed child. She can
turn calamities into blessings every
time. Everything will be ove
Grace rubbed her temples and opened her eyes. She looked at the mother and daughter getting busy in the kitchen.
Then, she looked at Carson. “You don’t have to worry about me all day. Tell me about yourself. When are you planning to propose to Vivian?”
Carson’s face heated up. “This… is still too early.”
Grace frowned and looked at him for a while. She narrowed her eyes and asked, “So you haven’t thought about this?”
Carson touched the back of his head. “Let’s wait until Austin recovers. You’ve been busy during this period. The company has also been busy. When Austin recovers, she can be my flower girl in the future.”
Grace thought about it and felt that he was right.
“The wedding can be held slowly. But the proposal can be put on the agenda. Feel free to let me know if there is anything I can help with.” Grace patted his shoulder.

While Grace was away, the company’s affairs were handed over to Carson and Vivian.
When she had just returned, she was so busy.
To accompany Austin, Brian worked at home for the first few days.
After Austin fell asleep at night, he worked until late at night.
