Chapter 540 Autism Worsens

hat he was secretly lurking in the group chat like a gossip hound."I have a meeting coming up, so I'll leave Xiao Bao with you." Lu Hanchuan gently pushed Xiao Bao towards Qiao Mu.Joe nodded, "I under..."What's wrong" Fu Xiaoyao came in from the balcony after finishing her phone call and saw Shao Sian looking at Xiao Bao, so she couldn't help but ask.

"Little Bao wanted to wake up so much." Shao Sian looked back at her.

As soon as Fu Xiaoyao heard this, her expression tightened, and she quickly quickened her pace to the bedside. Like him, she stared intently at Xiao Bao.

Xiao Bao really woke up as he said, his eyelids twitched and slowly opened.

"Xiao Bao..." Fu Xiaoyao softly called out to Xiao Bao.

However, Xiaobao seemed to have been startled. His small body suddenly wriggled violently, and his two little hands were raised in front of him, waving incessantly as if warding off something. His little face was covered with fear, and his light brown eyes were dark and devoid of any sparkle.

Anyone can tell that this little treasure is very off, very abnormal.

But Fu Xiaoyao knew this was Xiao Bao's appearance when he was extremely afraid, and she hadn't seen it for a year. Seeing it again now confirmed Shao Si Nian's words outside the dialysis room: Xiao Bao's autism had worsened!

Fu Xiaoyao was greatly shocked and took two steps back, almost falling down.

Shao Si Nian pulled her back in time, steadying her. "Are you alright"

Fu Xiaoyao ignored him, emotionally unstable, she returned to the bedside and reached out to touch Xiao Bao.

But Xiao Bao suddenly sat up from his bed just as her hand was about to touch him, pulled the covers over himself, covering himself from head to toe. After that, the covers trembled with fear.

Only Fu Xiaoyao knew, it wasn't the blanket shaking, it was Xiao Bao trembling.

He is afraid, afraid that someone will hurt him!

Realizing this, Fu Xiaoyao's eyes instantly reddened. She choked back tears and looked at the mound under the quilt, her voice as gentle as she could manage: "Xiaobao, it's Mommy."

Xiao Bao seemed to hear nothing, still trembling violently.

Shao Si Nian stood aside, his heart very clear that Xiaobao really couldn't hear.

It's not a literal inability to hear, but Xiao Bao has shut down his own senses. He refuses to listen to any sounds from the outside world, nor does he look at anyone. He isolates himself in a dark space, believing that this is how he can protect himself.

This is the most common manifestation of autism.

"Xiao Yao, this is useless. Xiao Bao is now in a state of autism, he can't hear you at all." Shao Si Nian looked at Fu Xiao Yao who was still trying to talk to Xiao Bao and opened his mouth to persuade her.

Fu Xiaoyao wouldn't listen to his advice at all. She stepped forward and hugged Xiao Bao, along with his blanket, in her arms. She held him like the most precious treasure in the world, her movements gentle and careful. "Xiao Bao, Mommy begs you, please lift the blanket and take a look at Mommy, okay Mommy begs you..."

She didn't dare to go and lift Xiao Bao's quilt herself.

Now, for Xiao Bao, the blanket is a wall, a wall that brings him a sense of security.

If she pulled back the covers, it would be like tearing down Xiao Bao's wall. Not only would it not stabilize his emotions, but it would also further stimulate him.

So she could only beg that Xiaobao would be able to hear her and uncover his blanket himself.

If he heard and did it, then it would show that Xiao Bao's autistic state was only temporary.

But Fu Xiaoyao was destined to be disappointed. Xiaobao didn't hear her voice, nor did he lift his lid.

He only felt that he was now being enveloped by a monster, a huge one that wanted to eat him, but it couldn't bite through his protective shell, so it couldn't eat him.

He had to wrap himself tightly in his protective shell. Only then would the monsters be unable to eat him, and those little monsters wouldn't be able to hurt him either. Then he wouldn't feel any pain...

"Alright, Xiao Yao, don't do this!" Shao Si Nian couldn't stand watching Fu Xiao Yao anxiously wanting Xiaobao to come out. He grabbed her arm and pulled her up, "I know you're worried about Xiaobao and want him to get better, but Xiaobao is currently frightened. Doing this will only make him more scared!"

"Then what do you want me to do!" Fu Xiaoyao shouted, losing her composure.

Shao Si Nian placed his hand on her shoulder, "Don't worry, right now we best not do anything, and don't rush to comfort Xiao Bao, nor touch him. Xiao Bao is acting this way because he was beaten. He's definitely most afraid of being touched right now, so let Xiao Bao be alone for a while. Maybe he'll slowly calm down."

Upon hearing this, Fu Xiaoyao's lips moved slightly, "Will that work"

"Give it a try." Shao Si Nian sighed.

Fu Xiaoyao turned around, looking sadly at the lump of blankets that had risen, her heart aching.

"Good..."

She accepted his proposal.

He's right, Xiaobao is really afraid of being touched now.

From just now, how Xiaobao quickly dodged when she wanted to touch it, you can tell.

"Then let's go out first." Shao Sinian said.

Fu Xiaoyao hummed in response and walked out the door, turning back every three steps.

After leaving the ward, she wiped her tears and said, "Sian, please take care of Xiaobao for me."

"What are you doing" Shao Sian's heart tightened, and he asked hastily.

Fu Xiaoyao's eyes glinted with hatred. "I need to go back to the company and gather information on those little devils' parents. I'll devise my revenge plan."

"Alright, then go ahead." Shao Sian knew she was currently angry and couldn't stop her, so he agreed.

Fu Xiaoyao took a deep breath and walked towards the elevator.

Soon, she walked out of the hospital gate.

But just before she got on the bus, someone called out to her, "Xiaoyao"

This voice...

Fu Xiaoyao's face contorted for a moment, the next second it returned to calm. She turned and looked at the man walking towards her in feigned surprise, "Hanchuan, how did you get here"

"I'm here to find a... friend, to inquire about some things." Lu Hanchuan replied.

The word "friend" sounded a little unnatural coming from him.

Also, after six years of severing ties with Shao Sian, now saying the word "friend" feels strange.

"That's right then." Fu Xiaoyao nodded.

Lu Hanchuan saw her swollen eyes and the anger that hadn't dissipated in them, his heart couldn't help but worry, "And you How did you get out of the hospital"

Fu Xiaoyao's eyes flickered. "I'm here to see a friend."

"Have you cried" Lu Hanchuan suddenly said.

It's not a question, but a statement.

Fu Xiaoyao covered her eyes, "Yeah, my friend is sick. I feel a little sad."

"There's still anger." Lu Hanchuan said again.

Fu Xiaoyao lowered her eyelids, concealing the icy killing intent in her eyes, "Well, because my friend was beaten into the hospital, I'm very angry, and now I'm going to find those people and settle the score."

"Need me to help you" Lu Hanchuan asked seriously.

Fu Xiaoyao strained a smile. "No need, just a few small thugs. I can handle them. Alright, Hanchuan, I'm leaving now."

After finishing her words, she put away her expression, opened the car door and got in. With a press of the accelerator, she drove away.

On the way, Fu Xiaoyao showed Shao Si Nian the message Lu Hanchuan sent her from the hospital.

Shao Si Nian saw this, immediately rushed to his office.

From Fu Xiaoyao's message, he roughly guessed that Lu Hanchuan was here to find him.

As expected, he had barely returned to his office when there was a knock at the door.

Shao Siniang hurriedly tidied up her appearance, smoothed her somewhat disheveled hair after running back to the office, and then spoke two words, "Please come in!"

The door opened, and Lu Hanchuan walked in.

Shao Si Nian saw him and feigned surprise, raising an eyebrow. "How is it you"pted you as his brother in his heart, but he's just thin-skinned and doesn't want to say it outright."Lu Hanchuan's thin lips curled up imperceptibly, hidden behind the coffee cup so that his mother a...
