Once the thought ca up, Sabrina quickly stopped the idea.
Mr. Fitzgerald asked such a question with a purpose, she couldn’t be influenced by her friends and let her mind wander unnecessarily.
She patted her forehead, cald down, and imdiately replied, "It’s okay."
Jasper Fitzgerald responded, "Okay."
After that, nothing else was said.
Although Sabrina was a bit suspicious, she didn’t ask more.
The next day was the Lantern Festival.
Because of work reasons, Galina Young and her husband couldn’t stay long, so they hurried back to their hotown in the morning.
Once the house was empty, Zara’s mood beca a bit low.
During this ti, her feelings had beco quite strong from spending ti with her grandparents every day.
The sudden separation left her a bit unaccustod and lancholic!
Sabrina saw this and felt it was good.
This showed that the little one was recovering well in terms of emotional perception.
It was a good sign!
She picked up the girl to coax her, "Sweetie, don’t be sad, how about I take you to see Uncle Fitzgerald this afternoon?"
Upon hearing she was going to see Jasper Fitzgerald, Zara’s distress eased a bit.
In the afternoon, Sabrina took her to the appointnt on ti.
Upon arrival, Jasper Fitzgerald was already waiting.
The man was sitting by the window, dressed in a well-tailored suit, relaxed in deanor, sipping coffee.
Every movent exuded nobility and elegance.
The golden eyeglass chain hung on his shoulder, glimring brightly, yet it couldn’t overshadow the perfect silhouette of his profile.
This person always left a different stunning impression every ti she saw him.
Truly, the man matched his na!
After sighing inwardly, Sabrina brought Zara over and greeted him, "Have you been waiting long?"
Jasper Fitzgerald looked up at the sound and replied, "Not long, just arrived a while ago."
Then, he smiled softly at Zara in her arms, "We et again, little Zara."
Although Zara hadn’t seen him for a few days, there was no unfamiliarity, and she imdiately leaned softly into his embrace and said in a soft voice, "Uncle, happy Lantern Festival."
Jasper Fitzgerald gently rubbed her head and responded warmly, "Happy Lantern Festival!"
Zara smiled with pursed lips and eagerly rummaged through her backpack with small hands.
Then, she took out a box and handed it over, saying, "This is a gift for Uncle~"
"Oh?"
Jasper Fitzgerald set down the coffee cup, raised his hand to receive it, and glanced a few tis.
The box was carefully packaged, with a ribbon tied on the outside.
It was clear at a glance that much thought had been put into it.
With gentle eyes, he asked, "What is it? May I open it?"
Zara nodded her little head, responding, "Yes, it’s a New Year and Lantern Festival gift."
Jasper Fitzgerald was not expecting there to be two gifts and imdiately untied the ribbon.
Inside the box was a rolled-up painting.
Unfurled, it depicted fireworks, with rich colors and detailed brushwork, lifelike and vivid.
Next to it, there was also an album of pressed leaf specins.
Jasper Fitzgerald thumbed through a few pages and found that so leaves had been crafted into the shapes of small animals, particularly cute.
His long eyes curved as he couldn’t help but ask the little one, "The painting is clearly drawn by Zara, but did little Zara also make this specin album?"
Zara seed to be waiting for him to ask this question, imdiately nodding her little head excitedly, "Yes, Grandpa and Grandma took Zara to collect leaves and taught Zara how to make them... does Uncle like it?"
"Yes, I like it!"
Jasper Fitzgerald agreed without hesitation.
Though it’s not sothing of monetary value, the little girl clearly put a lot of effort into it.
For him, it was all the more precious.
He didn’t hold back his praise, "Zara has really skillful hands, you did a great job, Uncle will cherish it."
Zara was especially happy, smiling sweetly, her voice soft and adorable, "As long as Uncle likes it."
After giving the gift, the little one returned to her mother’s side.
Sabrina ordered a small cake for her and settled her down, then found the opportunity to speak, "This leaf specin, only Mr. Fitzgerald has it; even I don’t!"
Her tone was slightly sour.
Jasper Fitzgerald curved his lips and said, "Is that so? Then it’s truly my honor to be so fondly rembered by the little girl!"
Sabrina was still a bit jealous but not too displeased.
She knew Zara really liked Jasper Fitzgerald.
Be it his psychological guidance or the warmth and praise he consistently showed her, it had a profound impact.
So this gift, it was only natural to give it to him!
Sabrina quickly suppressed her jealousy and turned to the main topic, "Regarding Zara’s second phase of treatnt, how should we proceed?"
After putting away the gift, Jasper Fitzgerald replied seriously, "Zara’s condition has maintained itself better than I expected. I imagine your parents have put quite an effort into spending ti with her, which is great, including teaching her to make specins, it’s all excellent guidance.
The first phase of treatnt focused on exposing her to the outside world, things, and people, to open up her closed-off senses.
Next, it’s about helping her adapt to different environnts.
Her autism, while under control, still manifests under certain conditions, such as having familiar people around or being in familiar settings that provide her a sense of security.
But as she grows, she will go to more places and encounter more diverse situations, and she might experience other stress reactions.
Therefore, to prevent such occurrences, we need to take this on as the next step..."
As he said this, he handed over a prepared docunt, "This is the second phase treatnt plan I’ve drafted, you can take a look."
Sabrina quickly took it and went through it carefully.
The plan was incredibly detailed.
Alongside specific professional psychological treatnt, there were also so activity suggestions attached.
For instance, taking Zara to cinema, amusent parks, etc., to observe her adaptability and responses in different static and dynamic environnts.
After reading, Sabrina took a deep breath.
She initially thought that the second phase of treatnt would be easier than the first.
Now it seed that wasn’t the case at all.
On the contrary, the second phase required even more ti and companionship for Zara.
Moreover, according to the plan, it looked like Jasper Fitzgerald would have to accompany her throughout...
Sabrina couldn’t help but ask, "I’m fine with anything as long as Zara can recover, but Mr. Fitzgerald, you’re so busy, wouldn’t this take too much of your ti?"
It seed Jasper Fitzgerald had anticipated her question and calmly shook his head, "It won’t. This year my work commitnts are relatively few, so I have enough ti.
Moreover, Zara’s case file is only halfway complete; I need more comprehensive data to advance psychological research topics, so I must be involved throughout.
You don’t need to feel burdened!"
After hearing this, Sabrina still felt sothing was off.
Yet, she couldn’t pinpoint the issue at the mont.
But admittedly, with Jasper Fitzgerald around, she felt inexplicably reassured.
As if with him, any problem could be resolved!
She imdiately nodded her head, saying, "Then I’ll have to trouble you!"
Jasper Fitzgerald looked at her deeply and said, "It’s no trouble."
