Chapter 1154
Josiah was speechless that Meredith not only did not mind having such a genius son but she was even taking Cooper’s side. He was not sure if he should feel relieved or sad.
Meredith could not be bothered about Josiah, she handed Cooper over to Nia and said, “Go on and play.”
She then said to Josiah, “Would you mind coming to the kitchen to prepare dinner with me?”
Even though Josiah was really curious as to how Cooper learned such a skill, he decided to leave Cooper alone as Meredith was too protective of him.
Following Meredith into the kitchen, a confused Josiah asked,” Edith, aren’t you even curious why a seven-year-old like him is so skilled?”
“What’s so strange about it? There are a lot more geniuses than you know out there,” Meredith handed him some potatoes for him to peel and she too started to prepare other cooking ingredients.
“Besides, a goal-oriented and capable woman like Ivy would definitely want to make sure her child grows up well. I wouldn’t even be surprised if she sent Cooper to those classes. Besides, autistic children often can be more impressive than other children. II
“But…” Meredith hesitated, “from what I ‘ve observed for the past two days, Cooper doesn’t look like he’s autistic.”
“Not autistic?” Josiah put down the potato in his hand and grabbed Meredith’s shoulder. “You’re saying that Cooper is not sick at all?” Meredith shot a glance at him and said, “Are you blind? How is Cooper not sick when he’s looking like that?”
To be fair, Josiah did not know much about medical stuff.
“Cooper might be suffering from some mental illness but it’s not necessarily autism. Even though he doesn’t talk much, he is okay with interacting with others.”
Josiah pondered before saying, “I guess you have a point. Last night, I read up about autism online and I found that autistic children tend to be stuck in their own world and they’re usually unwilling to interact with others.”
Meredith was surprised that he actually read up about autism. It seemed like he did care about Cooper.
“I wonder how he is when he’s interacting with his mother and his grandma. It would be easier if we get to see them interacting.”
Meredith looked as if she suddenly remembered something, she looked up at Josiah and asked, “Oh right, have you informed Ivy that we’ve found Cooper? She must be really worried.”
