Angeline: [I was wrong, Jaybie. Durian, keyboard, and abacus are all ready. I'll kneel on them and await your return.]
The ice and frost in Jay's eyes melted.
"Oh, this girl."
He was clearly still angry, but his tone sounded pampering.
Jay returned to Garden Of A Diary at dawn the next day.
What he saw, however, was Baby Zetty eating breakfast alone in the dining room.
When Jay did not see Angeline after looking around, h e asked in a very disappointed tone, "Where's Mommy?"
"Uncle sent her to work," Baby Zetty replied.
Jay frowned a little. She was so sincere when she apologized last night yet continued to go out at dawn and return at dusk with no intention to change this bad habit at all.
When Baby Zetty noticed the frosty expression on Daddy's face, she quickly took out a pack of medicine from the cabinet drawer and tossed it to Jay, saying,"
Daddy, something terrible must have happened in the company lately that it has triggered Mommy's anxiety again. Mommy has always relied on her own willpower to get through it in the past, but this time she actually asked the doctor to prescribe her medicine."
Jay read the drugs' description, and when he saw the side effects that came with the medicine, Jay’s expression sank.
"Does Mommy have severe anxiety? Why did the doctor prescribe drugs with such strong side effects?"
Baby Zetty replied, "Ever since your accident three years ago, Mommy was diagnosed with somatization disorder. Back then, she would only have temporary vision loss, but now it seems like it has extended to her limbs. I saw Mommy's hands shaking last night."
Jay was slightly stunned...
A touch of guilt rose in his heart. It turned out that Angeline was ill last night. He should not have lost his temper at her.
Jay looked at Baby Zetty. "Do you know why Mommy i s diagnosed with anxiety, Baby Zetty?"
Baby Zetty's eyes were filled with tears. "It's because o f you, Daddy. Do you know how sad Mommy was when you suddenly disappeared three years ago? She cried all day and night, nearly killing herself by biting on her own wrist. If Uncle Zayne hadn’t tied her up, I would’ve become an orphan by now.”
