Chapter 12 Autism
The young boy was of short stature, dressed in a black suit with a side bang. His face exuded cuteness and delicacy, with fair skin that gave him the appearance of a handsome doll.
Gladys was utterly shocked!
It was Mars Bradshaw!
He was her son!
Throughout the years, Gladys had yearned for the son she had abandoned, keeping up with the news to glean information about him. Thus, when Mars stood before her, it felt like she was in a dream.
Gladys wondered, “Is it a blessing in disguise?”
Meanwhile, Zachary and Timothy were both astonished.
From the time Mars was born, he had never uttered a word, leading people to believe he was mute. Due to his unique status, Zachary had ensured that news about Mars was restricted.
However, to everyone’s surprise, Mars had just spoken!
He was not mute!
Zachary’s black eyes displayed a range of complex emotions. Excitement surged within him as he approached. “Mars, come with me for a checkup!”
Mars shook his head reluctantly and, using his small hands, pulled Gladys along. He raised his head, gazing at her with dark eyes, silently pleading.
Gladys was deeply moved by the expression in her son’s eyes. Squatting down, she excitedly cupped his face, scrutinizing his features.
This was her son, the child she had given birth to. When she departed, he was no larger than a kitten. Now, he had grown significantly.

adorable. Do you like me?”
Mars nodded willingly.
Zachary, feeling neglected, wore an even darker expression. He pondered, “Mischievous boy, do you even know who your father is?”
Unwilling to have his son close to a woman he deemed unsuitable, he asserted, “She’s not your mother and can’t stay. Come here.”
Mars remained in place.
Zachary repeated, “Come here. Don’t make me say it again.” It marked his final threshold of patience.
He ordered.
Mars‘ face darkened. And he walked to him in low spirits.
Just as Zachary thought Mars would listen to him, Mars hugged his leg and bit him suddenly.
“Ouch…” A moan came out of Zachary’s mouth.
“Zachary!”
“Mars!”
Timothy and Gladys had pale faces and came forward to help.
However, Mars bit Zachary and wouldn’t let him go. He bit Zachary harder and harder, blood coming out his mouth.
He seemed to have lost his rationality!
Things were out of control.
Zachary frowned with a
/vibe!
His son had been sick since he was quite young. In a bad mood, he would be out of control. No one could help. Sometimes, he even hurt himself.
The doctor told Zachary to always make Mars happy.
So Zachary would let Mars have anything he wanted as long as Mars didn’t go too

He didn’t expect Mars to do this for Gladys…
“Zachary, just say yes!” Timothy, who knew the consequences, said anxiously.
Zachary glanced at Gladys with a frown and looked at his frantic son. Finally, he said coldly.
“I’ll let her stay.”
Then Mars loosened his biting. But he didn’t let Zachary go.
Zachary looked at Gladys with sharp eyes and ordered, “Tell him you will stay.”
Gladys was puzzled.
Timothy anxiously explained to Gladys, “Mars was diagnosed with autism when he was younger. He can be sick if he gets mad. Now, he’s still taking treatments. If you don’t pacify him, the treatments before will fail. Things will get worse.”
She was shocked.
Mars was diagnosed with autism!
Gladys couldn’t believe her ears. But Mars was totally out of his mind. She didn’t dare to waste any time. “Mars, be good. I will stay!”
Then he finally let go of Zachary.
Zachary said to Gladys coldly, “Just wait and see.” Then he carried Mars back into Mars‘ room.
Timothy followed with the first–aid kit.
Gladys stayed put in shock. Her son was actually diagnosed with autism.
She thought, “Is this a joke?”
