Chapter 37
Michael was sitting on the sofa. He felt dizzy from looking at Marcus pacing back and forth and said, “Mr. Maces, can you just calm down for a second?”
Marcus quickly said, “No! I’m worried sick! How are you still calmly sitting there? You’re Sam’s psychologist. What if something happens to him?
Michael was also helpless. “You saw me trying to communicate with him, but it was no use.”
”
“What are you even good for? Marcus said in frustrations. He anxiously ran his fingers through his hair and asked Bill, “You didn’t tell my parents about this, right?
“Not yet,” Bilsespectfully replied.
“That’s good.” Marcus sighed in relief.
He fell guilty. After all, something had happened to Samuel in his care. If his parents found out about this, they would probably kill him.
The thought of that simply scared him
Just then, the familiar sound of acar engine sounded outside the door, and Sill happily sold, “Mr. Macus, Mr. Julian is home!”
Marcus rushed outside.
As if Julian were his savior, he ran to him and said with tears in his eyes, “Julian, you’re finally home! Hurry up and ser Sam.”
Julian pushed Marcus away in disgust and asked, “What on earth is going on? 1s Michael here?
“I arrived a long time ago. Michael stood in front of the door. He was looking at Celeste who was coming out of the passenger seat.
Upon realizing that Celeste was also here, Marcus happily said, “Ms. Hart, you’re here too!”
Celeste nodded slightly in greeting. She didn’t say anything else as she was worried about Samuel. She anxiously asked, “Where’s Samuel now?”
Julian said, “I’ll take you upstairs. Then, he took Celeste’s hand.
Since the situation was urgent, Celeste didn’t care about this and simply let Julian bring her upstairs
Soon, the two arrived at the door of Samuel’s room.
It was very noisy in the room, and they could occasionally hear the sound of things being thrown.
This scared Celeste. She nervously looked at Julian and asked, “What should we do?*
Julian conducted her, saying, “Don’t panic” Then, he knocked on the door. “Samuel, open the door.”
Samuel turned quiet for a moment when he heard Julian’s woods. Then, he began to throw his things even harder.
“This is really bad. If this goes on, he’ll hurt himself!” Marcus worriedly said when he came up the stairs.
pulsan had a sullen face and didn’t respond. Instead, he continued to knock on the door. “Samuel, it’s me. Open the door. If you’re upset, you can talk to me about it. Don’t break your things. Listen to me.”
Butalnored his father.
Celeste was so anxious that she also knocked on the door. She helplessly said, “Samuel, it’s me, Ms Hart. What’s wrong? Open the door, okay? I’m here to see you.” The sounds in the room suddenly stopped again.
This time, he remained quiet
long time, but he had.
When Marcus saw that Celeste had gotten through to Samuel, he looked at her, impressed. He and Michael had been tallding to Sarel for a long tim Ignored them. However, he’d stopped his rampage upon hearing Celeste’s voice.
This, however, was no surprise to pulian. He had long known how special Celeste was to Samuel, so he gave her an encouraging look and motioned for her to
continue.
Celeste nodded and continued to knock on the door, “Sweetie, open the door, okay? I’m worried sick about you. Your dad, Marcus, and Dr. Callaway are worried about you too. Don’t lock yourself in your room, okay?”
However, they didn’t hear a response.
Since Samuel liked Celeste very much, he should’ve relented and opened the door by now.
But this time was an exception. So, Celeste continued to talk
However, Samuel still didn’t respond.
Celeste was extreinely anxious, “Julian, what should we do? Samuel’s ignoring me. Did something happen?”
Julian noticed her panicked expression and held ter shoulders. He goodly said, “I’ll be olury.” Then, he tuned around and ordered Marcus, “Get the ladder and go in through the window.”
“okay. Okay, I’ll go right away. Marcus dared not waste any time and hurriedly got Michael and mill’s help.
Ten minutes later, a ladder was placed on the window of Samuel’s rem
Crimiesieged forward and said, “Let me go up there fest,”
Marcus mas a little hesitant. After all, this home was higher than normal. It was dangerous,
2/2
Celeste nodded and immediately climbed up the ladder with Julian following closely behind her to make sure she was steady.
Marcus and Michael looked at each other as they resigned themselves to their fates of holding the bottom of the ladder steady.
After a while, Celeste finally arrived at the top.
As
soon as she reached the balcony, she rushed inside Samuel’s room before she could even steady herself.
When she entered the room, she saw that everything was in a mess. There were broken objects and ornaments, and overturned chairs among other things.
In short, the room was very messy.
Celeste was secretly frightened by the sight. If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn’t have imagined that such a sweet and cute child like Samuel would do such a thing-
However, Celeste didn’t think too much of it, she looked around and saw Samuel curled up in the corner.
At that moment, he was sitting on the ground, and his eyes looked hollow as he blankdy stared at her.
Celeste felt distressed at the sight.
Samuel had been so lively just a few hours ago, but now, he had become like this.
Celeste wouldn’t have ran away if she had known that this would happen.
Despite her remorse and guilt, Celeste quickly navigated through the mess on the ground and arrived at Samuel’s side. Then, she picked him up from the ground. Samuel was still delicate as usual, but he was freezing
Celeste then realized that the air conditioner in his room was very cold.
Julian also noticed this and quickly named the air conditioner off.
Celeste then carried Samuel and sat him on the bed.
While checking his body for injuries, she grabbed the blanket and wrapped it around him.
However, Samuel simply remained motionless and let her do whatever she wanted.
