Ten minutes later, Elisa drove the car and took Bruce to Monash University for a stroll. She visits her alma mater every year even after graduating, and she has always been a famous figure when she was in school. As soon as her car appeared, the security guard let her in. She parked the car to the public parking lot and took Bruce’s little hand.
Bruce then started to walk dragging her with him.
They started walking leisurely in the forest-lined trail.
Elisa said as she walked: ” This is where Mommy goes to college. I graduated from here. I know many friends and teachers here. Now Mommy’s leadership is met through my graduate student’s tutor. This is also where mommy met her director, when I first met him, I made a joke in front of him. He is a small old man, dressed like he was just a normal old guy walking in the convenience store, he was walking around the school with a torn bag. I thought that he was picking up trash, so I let him go downstairs in the dormitory. I told him to wait for me, I brought old books and mineral water bottles to him, and let him sell them. But when I ran to school, I saw him come in with the tutor. At that time, I wanted to dig a hole in the ground, but that the broken old man doesn’t let me go. He laughs at me every time he comes to school to give a lecture, and he calls me up when he encounters a problem that no one can understand.”
Bruce shiny black eyes looked at her, he was very happy that her mother was telling him, her story
.
” I was annoyed every time I saw him at the beginning, I always took detour whenever I saw him afar. Later, I had no choice but to be his apprentice. In the past few years, he has also taken care of me at work, and he will take care of me if something happens. The mess allows me to concentrate on improving my skills without worrying about someone stinging me. ” She laughed, and continue to say, “Son, do you want to go to school?”
Bruce thought for a moment, nodded his head.
“I’m worried, I especially do not want you to go to school, because I’m worried that my son is too cute, to be in kindergarten. I’m also worried that a daughter of someone from the same kindergarten will give us a hard time.”
Bruce: “…”

After William got off work, he drove to the food court of Monash University.
it was dinner time when he arrived. The food court was not wide but it was fully packed. But he still found them at a glance.
He sat on a small table, the table was piled with a bunch of dishes, kebabs, and bamboo sticks, and they were eating when he sat down. They were not aware that he was there.
The arrival of William attracted all the eyes of the food street.
Many girls took out their mobile phones to take pictures of him, their eyes automatically turned heart-shaped, and they looked obsessively at this man who appeared to have come out of a novel, wanting to see if this man came to find someone or buy something.
She was eating and suddenly found that the surroundings seemed to be quiet, and the light on her head was blocked by someone.
She lifted her head, her eyes shone because of him. Feast with elegance and handsome face.
“William, you are here.”
He pulled a tissue from the table and helped her wipe the sauce on her cheeks and mouth.
She let him wipe it, her cheeks a little hot.
She stared at William who was so close to her without blinking.
She didn’t understand why her husband could wear simple and rude black and white so beautifully, it was obviously a unique color.
Other men wear it like insurance, but he wears it luxuriously.
Bruce stopped eating the lamb skewers, he took a bunch of handmade beef balls and extend his little hands to William’s mouth, and asked him without thinking, ” Daddy, do you won’t eat it?”
William helped Elisa wipe their son’s face and looked at Bruce in surprise.
Bruce himself was taken aback, and he forgot to chew the barbecue in his mouth.
He brightly smiled, touched Bruce’s head, “Son, next time don’t hesitate to call Mommy. Daddy called you twice, I will be sad.”
Little Treasure nodded, a little awkward on his face.
Seeing that the three of them did not move excessively, the sausage on the barbeque stick rolled down the plate.
They were just talking casually, but the young girls around were broken-hearted.
The handsome man actually was married and has a child.
To see him have that kind of intimate interaction with Elisa means that they were in love.
And the dream of becoming his wife was shattered, they were too hurt.

After their meal Elisa, William and Bruce continued to stroll around the University with the southerly night scene.
Then they all went home.
Bruce rarely stayed outside for such a long time. He fell asleep in Elisa’s arms as soon as they got into the car.
Elisa lowered her voice and talked to William, “I talked to Bruce about going to school today. He was a little willing to go to school. Can I try to work hard in this area?”
” He is much better now than before. This is your call.”
“Is his condition worrying from sending him to a kindergarten? But he was so loveable and wise.”
“Well, most people with autism are unwilling to communicate and are immersed in their own world. Over time, they lose their language and communication skills and become truly autistic. As a doctor, you should have seen a large number of tragedies of autistic patients and their families. This is unacceptable to me, and I don’t think there will be a real autistic patient in our family.”
Elisa knew how painful it is for the family of autism patients.
Everyone in the family around the autistic patient should take turns to monitor him/her, thus resulting in a very tiring everyday routine.
Typically, autism patients refused to communicate, refuse to learn, refused to receive any information, have their own little universe, will have their own code of conduct.
Autism patients can also do a simple communication, but over time their brain will have varying degrees of impact, the five senses degradation.
Elis could not imagine how much effort William put in when Bruce was just suffering from autism to make him willing to use words to communicate, and also let him know and learn from healthy children of the same age even when he was autistic. How he taught him to familiarize certain topics and words mastered.
Seeing that she did not speak, William said: ” I think one reason Bruce is willing to speak is that you like to call others by name, which makes it easy for him to follow. For example, I seldom call others when I speak, except for those people I yelled at. And I adapt your way of communication unconsciously. The first two words Bruce spoke was for calling someone.”
“I’m so thankful for my habit. At least unconsciously I was helping not only Bruce but also you.”
” We are lucky indeed.”
She couldn’t help showing a bright smile, and unconsciously hugged Bruce’s small body tighter.

Elisa brought a large bag of snacks and breakfast into the office.
Seeing the smile on her face, Annie wondered: ” Sister, are you picking up money on the road?”
