CHAPTER 540 AUTISM WORSENS

Yvonne came in from the balcony after the phone call and saw Shane looking at Theo. She couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?”

Shane looked back at her. "Seems like Theo is going to wake up soon.”

When Yvonne heard these words, her expression tightened, and she quickly walked to the bedside. She stared at Theo just like Shane. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Like he said, it looked like Theo was about to wake up. Theo's eyelids moved and he opened his eyes slowly.

"Theo," Yvonne called Theo softly.

However, Theo seemed to be frightened. His body suddenly twisted violently and he raised both of his hands in front of him, constantly waving. It seemed like he was trying to drive something away. His little face was full of fear and his light brown eyes were dull without the slightest amount of light in them.

Anyone could see that something was wrong with Theo - he was very abnormal.

But Yvonne knew that this was what Theo looked like when he was extremely scared. She hadn't seen this for a year. Now that she was seeing it again, this proved that what Shane said outside the Hemodialysis Unit was right. Theo's autism had worsened!

Yvonne was so shocked that she took two steps back and she nearly fell.

Shane pulled her in time, then stabilized her. "Are you okay?"

Yvonne couldn't answer him. She went back to the hospital bed in an unstable mood and reached out to touch Theo.

When her hand was about to touch him, Theo quickly sat up from the bed and pulled the quilt to cover himself from head to toe. After covering it, the quilt trembled.

Yvonne was the only one who knew that it wasn't the quilt shaking, but Theo.

He was afraid, afraid that someone would hurt him!

Realizing this, Yvonne’s eyes instantly reddened. She choked and looked at the arched quilt. Her voice was a s gentle as possible, "Theo, it's Mommy.”

Theo seemed to be unable to hear her. He was still shaking badly.

Shane stood aside, knowing that Theo really couldn't hear her.

Not that it was literally inaudible, but Theo himself had sealed his senses, not listening to the sounds of the outside world, not seeing everyone in the outside world, just shutting himself in a dark space thinking that he could protect himself.

This was the most common manifestation of autism patients.

Shane looked at Yvonne who was still trying to talk to Theo and persuaded her, "Yvonne, this isn't helping. Theo is in an autistic state now. He can't hear you at all." i

Yvonne didn't listen to his persuasion. She went forward and held Theo in her arms with a quilt. She wanted to hold the most precious treasure in the world, gently and carefully. "Theo, mommy is begging you. Can you lift the quilt and look at mommy? Please

She didn't dare to lift Theo's quilt.

For Theo, the quilt was now a wall that could bring him a certain sense of security.

If she lifted the quilt, it was tantamount to tearing up Theo's wall. In that way, she not only couldn't stabilize Theo's emotions, but she would also stimulate Theo even more.

So she could only beg Theo to hear her out and lift the quilt by himself.

As long as he heard it and did so, it would show that Theo's autism was only temporary.

However, Yvonne was destined to be disappointed. Theo didn't hear her voice and didn't lift the quilt either.

He only felt that a monster surrounded him now. The monster was huge and wanted to eat him, but it couldn't bite the protective shell on his body, so it didn't manage to eat him.

He must wrap the protective shell well. This way, the monster couldn’t eat him, and those little monsters couldn't beat him, so he wouldn't be hurt...

"That's enough, Yvonne. Stop it!" Shane couldn't stand seeing Yvonne eager for Theo to come out. He grabbed her arms and pulled her up. "I know you're worried about Theo and want him to recover, but Theo is in fear now. You'll only make him more scared!”

Yvonne yelled out of control, "Tell me what I should do then!"

Shane put his hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry, we better not do anything now and don't rush to comfort Theo, let alone touch him. Theo is behaving this way because he was beaten. He must be afraid of being touched now, so leave Theo alone for a while, maybe he'll calm down slowly."

Upon hearing this, Yvonne moved her lips. "Will this work?"

Shane sighed, "We’ll give it a try.”

Yvonne turned around and looked at the arched quilt sadly, feeling pain in her heart.

"Okay..."

She agreed to his proposal.

He was right. Theo was really afraid of being touched.

They could see it when Theo quickly hid when she wanted to touch him.

Shane said, "Let's go out first."

Yvonne gave a hum and walked towards the door, step by step.

After leaving the ward, she wiped her tears. "Shane, please take care of Theo for me."

Shane was very anxious and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Yvonne's eyes were full of hatred. "I want to go back to the company to collect the information of those kids' parents and plan for my revenge."

Shane knew that she was very angry now and couldn't stop her, so he responded, "Okay, go ahead then."

Yvonne took a deep breath and walked towards the elevator.

Soon, she arrived at the hospital entrance.

But the moment before she got into the car, someone called out to her. "Shannon?"

This voice...

Yvonne’s face twisted for a moment. The next second, she calmed herself down. She turned around and looked at the man who approached her in surprise. " Henry, why are you here?"

Henry replied, "I'm here to look for... a friend to ask about something."

The word 'friend' sounded a bit unnatural to him.

Well, he had broken off the friendship with Shane for six years. It was weird to say the word 'friend' now.

Yvonne nodded. "I see.”

When Henry saw her red and swollen eyes along with the anger in them, he couldn't help worrying, "What about you? Why did you come out from the hospital?"

Yvonne’s eyes flashed. "I came to see a friend."

Henry said suddenly, "Did you cry?"

It wasn't a question, but it was an affirmative.

Yvonne covered her eyes for a moment. "Yes, my friend is sick and I feel sad."

Henry added, "And angry."

Yvonne lowered her eyelids to cover the cold murderous intent in her eyes. "Yeah, my friend was beaten and got into the hospital, I’m very angry. I'm going to get even with those people now."

Henry asked seriously, "Do you need me to help you?"

Yvonne reluctantly squeezed the corner of her mouth," No, they're just a few minions. I can manage it. Well, Henry, I should go now."

After speaking, she straightened up her face, opened the car door, and stepped on the accelerator.

On the way, Yvonne texted Shane to tell him that

Henry was at the hospital.

After Shane read the message, he rushed to his office immediately.

Based on the message that Yvonne sent to him, he guessed that Henry would look for him.

Sure enough, a few minutes after he returned to his office, there was a knock on the door.

Shane quickly composed himself since he ran all the way back to his office. He spat out the two words with his messy hair, "Come in!"

The door opened and Henry came in.

When Shane saw him, he pretended to be very surprised and raised his eyebrows. "Why are you here?"
