Chapter 772
Brian patiently coaxed her, but Joy buried her face in Brian’s chest, trembling slightly.
Brian frowned and looked at Grace. “There are too many people. I’ll bring her back to her room first.”
Grace nodded anxiously.
“It seems that Austin’s autism has not improved much,” Serena said, “Did you find her a suitable psychiatrist?”
Grace shook her head. “Perhaps her father is more suitable than a psychiatrist.” Serena agreed. “I can tell that Austin is more dependent on her dad.”
Grace picked up some food and went to Austin’s room during the meal. She saw Brian holding a book and telling Austin a story.
He spoke vividly and occasionally had an exaggerated expression. That look couldn’t be associated with the usual cold and aloof business aristocrat.
Austin was holding a pillow in her hand and listening attentively.
Grace quietly walked to Brian’s side and placed the plate of pasta beside him. As Brian told the story, he moved his mouth forward and gestured for her to feed him.
Grace had no choice but to feed him a mouthful.
At this moment, Austin, leaning against the headboard, suddenly sat up and looked at the plate in her hand as if she wanted to eat.
Grace was delighted. “Austin, do you want some?”
Austin nodded and took the fork from her hand. She picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth.
Brian was also surprised for a second but didn’t forget to continue reading the story.
Grace saw Austin seemed to want to eat by herself, so she went out to get a new plate, picked some meat and vegetables, carried them into the room, and handed them to Austin.
Ever since Austin became autistic, she rarely ate meat, let alone taking the initiative to eat it.
Therefore, Grace felt this was also a sign that her condition was improving.
Grace’s heart softened as she
looked at the scene of the father and daughter telling stories and eating. The corners of her mouth curled into a smile as she closed the door.
After dinner, Serena and Justin bid farewell and left together.
After a while, Carson and Vivian also left. Grace helped Jaclyn wash the dishes in the kitchen.
“Miss Sherman, you seem to be in a good mood. Is it because of Austin?” Jaclyn saw the faint smile on Grace’s face.
Grace smiled and looked at her. “You can just call me Grace from now on. It sounds distant when you call me Miss Sherman.”
She continued, “Austin took the initiative to eat meat just now. It seems that Brian was right to guide her.”
Jaclyn smiled in relief. “That’s great.”
It was already half past nine when Brian left Austin’s room. Austin was already asleep.
Grace looked at him and saw a smile on his face.
After exchanging glances with
Grace, he suddenly went forward-
and hugged her. He seemed to sigh softly. “Gracey, Austin smiled at me just now.”
Grace cried tears of joy. “Really?”
“Yes.” Brian felt a lot more relaxed.
He concluded, “Deep down, Austin wants to care about us, but she doesn’t know how to express it. We should think of a way to guide her and let her say what she’s thinking. Only then will her autism get better.”
Grace nodded. She felt that what he said was in line with what Matthew said.
She smiled and said, “Looks like you’ve found a way.”
Brian suddenly bent down and put his face in front of her. “Gracey, how are you going to reward me?”
