Josephine stormed downstairs with her hand over her bruised forehead. She walked toward Jay and cried pretentiously, "Jay, your son just bullied me and you're not going to do anything about it?"
Jay observed Josephine silently...
"You knew that he doesn't like you touching him," he said stiffly, "yet you continued to provoke him. You brought it upon yourself."
Josephine felt immensely aggrieved. "Well, I thought h e got better. That’s the only reason I came over to offer to look after him. I didn’t know he was going to act out again."
Jay’s handsome face darkened slightly. "Jenson's not sick."
Josephine said in a hushed voice, "You know very well whether he’s sick or not. Jay, may I remind you that the original Jenson was cold and arrogant?
You've seen him with your own eyes that day when you brought him over to our house, he was like a completely different person! Lively, cheerful, gentle, and polite. I originally thought his mother had cured his autism but it seems like the situation has only gotten worse. Jenson jumps from being silent and antisocial to being an enthusiastic chatterbox. I’d even suspect he’s schizophrenic!" 2
A dark shadow spread across Jay's handsome face.
"Jay, get a psychiatrist in Grand Asia Hospital to check Jenson out," Josephine urged him. "You shouldn't delay treatment for your child."
Jay rubbed the space between his eyebrows and fell into deep thought.
‘Josephine's right. Jens has been acting very strangely these past few days.'
Nancy read the atmosphere and rushed to comfort Jay. "Jay, don't worry. It's normal for a child's mood to be unstable. Your sister’s just confused because she's concerned about him.”
Suddenly, Jenson ran down from the second floor. When Josephine saw Jenson, she recoiled like she saw her archenemy. "Jenson, I'll go back home immediately, okay?" she said hurriedly. "I'm afraid of you so you don't have to bother sending me off. Just g o back upstairs!" With that, she bolted out of the house in fear.
"Josephine!" Jenson suddenly called out to her.
