Chapter 755

For a moment, Grace forgot to speak.
After a while, Brian’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and he said hoarsely, “I’m sorry.”
These words made Grace feel a lump in her throat. She quickly turned her head away.
“I ordered food for you. Why did you come to the canteen to eat? Did Austin eat the beef stew?” Brian asked.
Grace broke down and cried loudly on the table.
Brian’s heart skipped a beat. He got up and sat beside her, hugging her tightly. “What happened?”
Grace cried for a while and punched his shoulder hard. “What are you doing here? Aren’t you on vacation? Why? Do you feel bad? Is that why you’re here to see your poor daughter?”
Her accusation was like a huge blade, slicing his heart cut by cut.
“I’m sorry. Nothing happened between me and Sharon. That day, I was drunk and she brought me to her house, but I woke up very quickly. Nothing happened. After that, Justin took you away. I found out from her. I appeared in Soofareland with her to look for you,” said Brian.
Grace seemed to want to vent all the grievances she had suffered recently. She cried until she was out of breath and couldn’t stop her tears.
After crying for a long time, she wiped her tears and forced herself to calm down. “Austin is alone in the ward. I’ll bring her a portion of pasta.”
“Didn’t she eat any of those dishes?”
Grace pursed her lips and said, “The doctor said that her autism has developed into bipolar disorder. When she was eating just now, she bit her arm until it bled.”
Brian’s heart felt like it was being squeezed by a hand.

Austin had lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When Brian saw her, he felt like crying and his heart ached as he pulled her small body into his arms.
He decided to cure her autism personally.
Brian waited in the ward until Austin woke up.
“Austin, Daddy is here to see you.” Brian looked at her gently.
As expected, Austin reacted to Brian. Her eyes darted around and her lips pursed tightly.
Brian held her small hand and said gently, “Daddy will come and see you every day, okay?”
Austin blinked and looked up at Grace.
Grace was a little puzzled. “Austin, what’s wrong?”
Austin didn’t speak again. She just lowered her head, but Grace could tell she must be thinking about something.
She sat by the bed and asked patiently, “Austin, if you have anything to say, you can say it to me, okay?”
Austin didn’t speak again. It was as if she was immersed in her world.
Grace was afraid that Austin would hurt herself again, so she didn’t have the heart to ask further.
Brian left the hospital and went to Tason City’s largest library. He found all the books related to child psychology.
He was sitting in the corner, looking up information and taking notes when the rhythmic sound of high heels suddenly sounded. It was getting closer and closer, and the pungent smell of perfume drifted over. Brian frowned.
“So you’re here. Do you know I’ve been looking for you for two days? Shar

Brian only glanced at her before lowering his head and focusing on the book.
Sharon sat down beside him. “What are you doing?”
She glanced down at the book in his
hand. “Why are you studying this? is your daughter having psycho problems?”
