Chapter 335 A Better Person

Yet, it was during this time that Selena became pregnant with Christopher. This pregnancy was unusually strenuous, forcing Selena to stay in the hospital for the baby's safety. As a result, the plans to pick up Alexander were put on hold.

Following that incident, Alexander's condition worsened significantly. He hardly interacted with anyone, causing a wave of suspicion to stir at the ancestral home. They attempted to replace a reason for his behavior, such as sending him to a summer camp for highly intelligent children. However, when Alexander returned, he barely ate or drank and showed no emotional response whatsoever.

After confirming that Alexander had autism and was experiencing memory confusion and a gradual loss of emotions, Lionel arranged for a psychologist to provide therapy. Alexander was eight years old at the time.

At this point, David and Selena dropped everything and took Alexander to seek medical help. However, at that time, the field of medicine was not advanced enough, particularly in terms of mental health. It was hard to pinpoint the exact cause of the issue. Everyone could only conclude that it was due to the lack of parental companionship. Therefore, from then on, David and Selena kept Alexander close by.

When Alexander was nine years old, he met the naive Isabella, who knew nothing about the world.

Gradually, David and Selena discovered that Alexander wasn't actually as emotionally detached as they had initially thought. Instead, he was simply reserved. Deep down, he still had a vibrant spirit. It just needed to be kindled.

As time passed, Alexander gradually returned to normal. However, it was unclear whether the current Alexander was simply maturing into his original self, or if the change was a result of his psychological trauma. It was hard for anyone to say. There was just one lingering issue-Alexander was unwilling to return to Yrinas.

Initially, Alexander was emotionally detached, hardly ever expressing his likes or dislikes. The first time he made his feelings clear was when he was told he was to be taken back to Yrinas. He threw up, then developed a fever and fell into unconsciousness. After a prolonged state of shock, Isabella finally voiced her first opinion.

Her voice was laced with hostility as she asked, "Did he have a tough time growing up in Yrinas? Was he secretly bullied?"

Evian replied, "We did ask, but he said no."

Isabella was momentarily confused.

There aren't any unpleasant memories. It's just a reluctance to go back. So, is it a physical resistance?

The entire family shared the same thoughts as Isabella.

Evian said, "Actually, we're not sure if it's true, or if his memory has just become blurry."

In reality, even though the Quirk family shared a strong bond and doubting them was a painful ordeal, David and Selena had secretly conducted an investigation due to Alexander's reaction. afcha hannahald coff

who had worked there, all the evidence pointed to one thing-Lionel, who rarely smiled, Marley, who spoiled the kids, and the other relatives still living in the house all treated Alexander very well. Because of his intelligence and good looks, his siblings initially enjoyed being around him. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was the darling of the family.

Even when the daughter of Marley, who was unrelated by blood and studying abroad, came back, she would only spend her time playing with Alexander and tutoring him. Upon discovering Alexander's mental health issues, she was proactive in helping him. The replaceings of the investigation left David and Selena with no room to doubt their family members. They could only surmise that perhaps returning to Yrinas might dredge up some deep-seated emotional scars for Alexander, ones stemming from feelings of being abandoned by his parents.

David and Selena felt a deep sense of guilt, which was why they never compelled Alexander to return. In fact, they didn't even bring it up afterward. It was a sort of unspoken understanding between them. The others would simply return occasionally to celebrate a birthday and that would be it.

However, the folks back home were still very concerned about Alexander.

The initial two years saw Isabella absent due to the fact that the folks back in Yrinas had learned the truth about her marriage to Alexander. They were highly critical of Isabella. They were protective and could not bear to see Alexander suffer. They believed that David and Selena were simply muddle-headed for allowing Alexander to suffer yet again.

Given that Alexander didn't return, there was no need for them to meet Isabella.

But this time, the rest of the Quirk family had warmly invited Isabella.

The drastic change in attitude was entirely due to the fact that Alexander's doting behavior toward Isabella had long since been circulated within the company. How could the other members of the Quirk family not know about it?

Because of their affection for the household, everyone was eager to meet the new lady of the family.

David and Selena wished they could show off. After all, thanks to Isabella, Alexander had truly become a better person.
