"Olivia? Quick, come over here and let me take a look." After a brief moment of dismay, Cara quickly recovered and smiled as she extended her hand towards Olivia.
Olivia was not very close to Cara, and when she saw her actions, she hesitated a little and instinctively looked up at Levi.
Levi felt the dependence and trust of the little girl, and his heart could not help but warm up, this feeling was too strange, it was the first time he had ever felt it.
He reached out and gently rubbed Olivia's head before saying softly, "Go ahead."
Only then did Olivia let go of his hand and moved her feet to walk up to Cara.
Cara gave Levi a shocked look, her gaze sweeping back and forth between Levi's face and Olivia's for a long time, her heart secretly amazed that this child looked so similar to Levi!
"Great Grandma." Olivia's voice was very small and she walked up to Cara before she softly called out.
"Good girl, are you tired from the trip? Are you hungry?" Cara's hand was trembling with excitement. She raised it to rub Olivia's head, but did not dare to drop it, and finally silently withdrew it.
"Grandma, Olivia should be tired, let her go and rest for a while first, I'll go and make dinner." Ruby went over and took Olivia's luggage into the room, came out and looked at Cara's eyes flushed with excitement, sighed slightly in her heart before she walked over and reached out to take Olivia's hand.
Olivia's eyes, which were still very calm, instantly lit up when Ruby's hand grabbed her, allowing Ruby to take her by the hand and follow her into the room in a docile manner.
Cara raised her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes. Levi went over and handed her tissue.
"Olivia has a hard life." Cara took the tissue and lamented.
"It seems that she is not particularly close to Ruby." Levi thought of Ruby's attitude and felt a little puzzled.
"Let Ruby tell you herself, I don’t know what exactly happened. Olivia did not feel well since she was born, plus she is introverted, she does not like to communicate with people, alas." Cara shook her head, sobbed, and after a few words, she sighed and went back to her room.
When Ruby came out, she saw Levi alone outside, took a look at Cara's room, before she had an idea of what was going on, and without saying anything, she went straight into the kitchen.
"I'll help you." Levi followed in to help.
Ruby didn't refuse, just handled the ingredients in her hands, thinking about things in her mind.
It took two hours for the meal to be ready and Ruby went to knock on the door to ask Olivia and Cara to come out for dinner. Olivia had rested and seemed to be in good spirits, still looking timid, but much more lively than before and at least willing to talk.
Cara was thrilled and at the same time she couldn't help but feel sorry for the child.
"At Olivia's age, it's almost time for kindergarten, isn't it? What are your plans for next?" It was only after eating that Levi found the opportunity to be alone and asked Ruby.
Ruby was silent for a while before she looked at Levi: "Olivia she has a very serious autism, in severe cases she may even have violent tendencies, in her case, she is not suitable to go to kindergarten."
"I have a well-connected friend who is quite knowledgeable in psychology, if it's okay with you, I can get him to come over and help, provided that Olivia doesn't resist the psychologist." Levi was silent for a while, thinking about Olivia's situation, if she was really sent to kindergarten, communicating with a group of children would indeed be a bit troublesome.
