Grossman House.

As soon as Adam arrived, a small figure hugged his thigh.

Emma.

Adam and Peggy looked at each other, looked down, and smiled slightly: Did you hear what your sister Peggy said? Are you happy to go to Pasadena with us?

happy.

Emma's raised face was full of joy: I like playing with Adam the most.

...

Hearing the movement, David, who was wiping the corners of his eyes, came out of the bedroom. Hearing this, his face froze.

This daughter...

Forget it, I'm tired, there's nothing he can do, let's leave it to Peggy and Adam.

They are the one type of people.

And they are also Emma's relatives.

nice! You love it.

Adam picked up Emma, ​​walked in, and smiled at her: I found you a good teacher, you will definitely like her.

Ok.

Emma is very well-behaved: I believe in you, Adam.

I hope you can keep this mentality.

Peggy looked at Emma, ​​who was hugging Adam's neck and giving her a provocative look, and smiled meaningfully.

Adam.

David wiped away his tears, came out, and greeted Adam.

David.

Adam nodded to him and put Emma down.

Go out for a walk?

David suggested.

Okay, just in time to check out your new studio.

Adam nodded with a smile.

In the past few years, David's career has made great progress, and he has a small fortune.

Originally, he could rent a luxurious studio in an office building in the urban area, which was also convenient for his business.

But in order to spend more time with his daughter Emma and to commemorate his late wife Linda, he has been staying at home.

The original studio remains unchanged.

However, a new studio has been added to the side.

Adam, Peggy said that Emma's situation will stay with you for a long time.

David and Adam walked side by side on the path, and said worriedly: An orange cat drowned in the fountain just now...

It seems that we need to live longer.

Suddenly, Adam nodded and said: David, you also know that Emma's situation is a bit special.

She never cried or laughed since she was born.

Later, as she grew up, she gradually had emotions.

But that's only because she can understand what emotions are.

It's not that she can feel emotions.

Brain MRI showed that when chatting with her, no matter what she likes or what she hates.

Brock District is extremely active.

The amygdala and the adjacent limbic cortex were unresponsive.

The Brock area is the language center.

The amygdala and the adjacent limbic cortex are the areas that generate, recognize, and regulate emotions.

That is to say, she can understand but not feel emotions.

The various emotions that were shown later were completely deduced by her through analysis and understanding after she grew up slowly, because her high IQ understood that social needs emotions.

Switch to an ordinary family, because Emma grows up too fast, and she knows how to cover up at such a young age, there is a high probability that she will be ignored...

But fortunately there are you.

David answered with a wry smile, Otherwise I would have been deceived when she suddenly had all kinds of emotions when she was two years old and was ecstatic.

My own daughter, I didn't know she was mentally ill...

It's a rare occurrence.

Adam comforted: Psychopaths are not all the stereotyped serial killers...

That drowned orange cat...

David mourned.

do not worry.

Adam continued to comfort: Emma is still young, and she has this kind of mental illness, which destroys her humanity.

To her, drowning an orange cat is no different from an ordinary child trampling an ant to death.

She can't feel emotions, is used to manipulating everyone around her, and lies morbidly because of this...

These are her survival instincts.

There is also education.

And we have the best teachers, believe me...

I believe you.

David sighed: And besides pinning my hopes on you, I really don't know what to do.

Since I heard about Emma's situation from you, I have also read a lot of materials.

Many mental illnesses are congenital and cannot be treated at all...

There are always more solutions than difficulties.

Adam laughed and said: Different coping methods will guide Emma into what kind of person she will become.

Continue to stay with you, unless you also annihilate other things, desires, morality...everything, only keep the unconditional and unprincipled love for Emma.

Otherwise, she will regard all changes that go against her will as a threat to her.

See that hornet's nest?

Speaking of this, Adam pointed to the hornet's nest under the eaves of the studio: Like these hornets, once they feel threatened, they will attack.

So is Emma.

Because she can't feel emotions, she doesn't have the daughter's love for her father.

Plus she has a high IQ.

Your situation is actually very dangerous.

I think you can't love so bottomless, and you can't control her and guide her, right?

David's expression changed in horror.

He really couldn't imagine that such an unbearable situation could happen.

But think about it, is it impossible?

For years his sister Angela has been trying to reintroduce him, reorganize a family, and try to give Emma a stepmother.

And Emma did ask a few times if he wanted to go on a date.

Not happy at first.

Then there is no objection.

But whenever he really wants to go on a date, there are always various surprises waiting for him.

Thinking about it now, isn't this just Emma's manipulation, and it also represents Emma's truest reaction.

She doesn't like change!

He really loved her, and was even willing to be single for her for twenty years.

But Emma is more than just him loving her.

She needs everyone to love her as much as he does to satisfy her.

Otherwise it is a threat to her.

Think of the orange cat that drowned in the fountain today...

The future was so terrifying that he couldn't even imagine it.

Don't worry too much, everything is still in time.

Adam patted David on the shoulder: She is only six years old after all, all she needs is a mentor who is most suitable for her.

Ok.

David forced a smile.

afternoon.

David watched his daughter Emma say goodbye to him obediently, got into Adam's car, and disappeared into the distance.

Feeling lost in my heart, but also relieved, it was extremely complicated, I stood there and didn't leave for a long time.

California.

Pasadena.

Adam's car stopped in front of a villa near Caltech.

Welcome, you must be Emma.

Juno came out of the villa, looked at Emma who got out of the car with a smile and looked up.

Emma glanced at her, couldn't help taking a step back, and stared at Juno warily.

Dear sister, this is the surprise that my sister arranged for you.

Peggy walked to Emma's side, smiled at her and said, This is Juno, Adam's best friend, and will also be your mentor.

I believe you will get along very happily.

She will teach you many things.

Drowning an orange cat and threatening to intimidate others, this kind of thing is still too low-level...

Emma is only six years old, so she is interested in biological anatomy?

Juno was surprised and said, That's amazing, sister, I didn't become interested until I was ten years old...

Emma: ...

Ps: Thank you for traveling through the planes to look good, Uncle Wang next door for your reward!
