When Angeline, Grandma Boye, and Grandpa were dining together, Grandpa and Grandma Boye were teasing Jay.
"Angeline, when you were ill, Jay couldn’t eat or sleep for days. He became taciturn and quiet and was particularly boring," said Grandpa.
"He was more than boring. He was like a walking dead puppy that didn’t speak or laugh. Whenever he approached, we could feel the air around him drop several degrees colder," Grandma Boye added, "Plus, h e argued with Chloe to such an extent that he was so upset we couldn't blame him for having social anxiety."
Angeline was utterly shocked that she dropped the utensils in her hand. "What? His social anxiety is back?"
When Jay was a child, he was known to be on the autistic spectrum.
When relatives or friends chatted happily in front of him, he would stick to doing his own thing as if he was living in his own world.
Fortunately, Boye was a doctor who could deal with these matters efficiently. "Angeline, the thing with
your Jaybie happened not too long ago. If you can find a way to get him out of his own world, his illness can b e cured without any medication."
Angeline nodded. "As long as Jaybie is well, I'm willing to do anything."
Then, Angeline changed into a timeless lace chiffon blouse and a high-waisted mini-skirt. She also put on a pair of high heels and set off.
When she arrived at Grand Asia, she found Jay waiting by the pharmacy's hall. He was sitting on the chair in the front row, swiping on his phone.
Angeline sneaked over and stood beside him, glancing at his phone screen in secret. It turned out that he was currently flipping through her photos. It seemed that h e had stored many pictures of her in his phone, all the way from her childhood. He seemed to be endlessly scrolling.
She was shocked by this talent of his because she had lost most of her childhood photos.
When she realized that he might not have sensed her existence, she gently touched his arm. Unexpectedly, h e merely scooted to the side without looking up at her.
Angeline felt helpless and extended out her foot again to touch him. However, he merely retracted his foot defensively.
Angeline sighed. Did this guy always have such a temper when he was outside?
