CHAPTER 506 THEO'S ACTING WEIRD

"I'm already back at the hotel." Yvonne poured herself a glass of red wine and took a sip before she replied.

Shane adjusted his glasses. "That's good. I was thinking if you were still at the company, I could pick you up after Theo."

"Thank you for the thought," Yvonne said with a smile.

Shane leaned back in the chair and said, "No need, it's what I should do. Anyway, I’ve got to go, Yvonne. I have a patient."

"Well, goodbye!" Yvonne said goodbye.

Shane also responded, "Goodbye!"

After she hung up the phone, Yvonne put down her wine glass and got up from the sofa as she tried to go t o her room by jumping with one leg only.

After she came out of her room with a change of clothes, the doorbell rang.

Yvonne hopped over and opened the door. Standing outside was a hotel room attendant in a uniform.

"Hello, Miss Smith. Mr. Lancaster asked me to come and take care of you." The waiter greeted her.

Yvonne stood aside. "Come in."

The waiter nodded and walked into the room. He then handed her what he had brought. "Miss Smith, this is something that Mr. Lancaster specially asked our hotel to prepare for you."

"Huh?" Yvonne turned around curiously to find that the hotel room attendant was actually holding a pair o f crutches.

She had not seen it just now.

"Mr. Lancaster asked you to prepare this?" Yvonne asked.

The attendant responded, "Yes."

Yvonne took one and clamped it under her armpits with a conflicted expression. With the support of the crutch, her body was instantly balanced, and she was not afraid of jumping with one leg and falling.

"He's quite considerate," Yvonne said softly.

The hotel room attendant heard her so he answered," Yes, Mr. Lancaster is very considerate indeed. He specially ordered these crutches and asked us to choose a soft support so that it wouldn't hurt your armpit. Miss Smith, Mr. Lancaster is really kind to you."

Yvonne smiled and said faintly, "Really huh." 1

The hotel room attendant didn’t understand what she meant by this, and he didn’t ask either. He followed behind her as he waited for her order.

Yvonne didn’t want someone to follow her around, so she sent the room attendant to the kitchen to cook while she relaxed in the living room.

When the room attendant finally prepared her meal, she let the room attendant leave.

With crutches, she could walk without anybody's help, so she did not need anyone to take care of her anymore.

Around four in the evening, Shane took Theo home as promised.

Theo saw Yvonne holding a pair of crutches and his tiny little face looked a little bit cold. He headed to his room, leaving Yvonne and Shane standing at the door as they looked at each other.

"What's wrong with Theo?" Yvonne looked at Theo’s petite figure as she wondered. 1

Shane touched his chin and said, "Theo seems to be angry."

"Angry?" Yvonne was shocked.

Shane nodded. "It seems like it, but I don't know for sure. After all, children with autism have very few emotions, some don’t even have any emotions, so I can't be sure if Theo's angry or not."

"Maybe you're right." Yvonne welcomed Shane in.

They talked as they walked into the living room.

"Hasn't Theo's autism been getting better recently? Although he still doesn't cry, laugh, speak, or have any expression, I could tell that he was shy through his body language the day before yesterday."

"Shy?" Shane was surprised.

Yvonne nodded. "Yes, it was when he called me 'Mom' with a note. That's why when you said that Theo might be angry, I just recalled how Theo looked and realized that he walked faster than usual, so maybe he really is angry."

However, she still didn’t know what he was angry about.

"I'm a little worried. Have a seat. I’ll go to the room and have a look."

After Yvonne said that, she put down Theo's school bag and walked towards his room.

"Theo, can Mommy come in?" Yvonne knocked on Theo's door, then turned the doorknob and went in.

The room was dark, and Yvonne turned on the lights.

The light illuminated everything in the room, and Yvonne saw Theo's tiny figure curled up behind the curtains. Her heart immediately clenched.

It had been a year since Theo last curled up behind the curtain like that.

But Theo was doing it again. It could possibly mean that Theo's autism had suddenly returned to the state i t was a year ago.

"Theo!" Yvonne raised her voice and walked over. She then opened the curtains.

Theo's petite body was completely exposed.

He was sitting on the ground with his arms hugging his knees. His small head was buried in his knees, and he seemed to have lost his soul.

Seeing Theo like that made Yvonne's hand tremble.

"Theo..." Yvonne called out softly and put her hand on his shoulder. She then wrapped his tiny body into her arms.

"Theo, tell Mommy, what's the matter with you?" Yvonne asked as her voice trembled.

Theo didn’t respond as if he couldn't hear her.

Yvonne tightened her arms and hugged Theo tighter." Don't be afraid, Theo. Mommy is here. Tell me, did something happen that made you unhappy?"

Theo still didn't respond.

Yvonne became anxious and she started choking up." Theo, don't scare me. Mommy is very worried about you..." copyrighted © content.

A year ago, Theo's autism had hit rock bottom.

He was almost like a body without a soul.

Later, the doctor suggested that as a mother, she should lay down all her work and be with Theo full time. It might help Theo's condition.

It was proven that what the doctor said was right. She left her job and spent half a year before Theo finally had some light in his eyes and became who he is now. Therefore, how could Theo revert back to the child he was a year ago?

"Theo..." Yvonne was really scared and she started sobbing softly.

When Theo heard her crying, he raised his head slightly, and there was also a faint light in his pupils that were hollow.

Yvonne saw the change and quickly stopped crying. She held Theo's face with her shaking hands. "Theo, you... Are you all right?"

Theo's mouth moved and he let go of his knees. He then touched her injured ankle and looked at her.

Yvonne suddenly realized something so she asked," Are you worried about my foot?"

Theo blinked.

Yvonne knew that was Theo's answer, so she smiled," Were you upset because you were worried about me?"

Theo blinked again.

Yvonne felt really excited and she kissed her son's tender face.

Theo was fine, and he did not revert back to how he was a year ago.

Theo was only depressed because he was worried about her and didn't know how to express it.

"You're so kind, Theo. You're worried about me. Don't worry, Theo. Mommy's fine, but I twisted my ankle. It’ll be fine in a few days. If you don't believe me, you can poke it and see if it hurts me. If it doesn't hurt, then you can believe Mommy, right?" Yvonne talked to her son gently.

Theo seemed to be convinced by her, so he reached out to poke her twisted ankle.

After poking a bit, he tried to look at Yvonne's expression to see if she was in pain.

But Yvonne kept smiling as if she did not even feel the slightest pain.

"Look, Theo, it doesn't hurt. It means that my injury isn't serious, and it's going to get better soon. Don’t feel sad, Theo, okay?" Yvonne rubbed Theo's nose.
