Shen Luo’an fell silent at Shen Manting’s retort.
But he couldn’t help taking another glance at her.
“What did the doctor say to you?”
“Nothing.” Shen Manting kept eating. “All he said was that my mood was unstable, or something along that line. What else could he have said?”
She appeared exceptionally calm, as if she was describing something insignificant.
Aunt Lin couldn’t help turning to glance at her.
Shen Luo’an seemed unhappy, but he held back his temper.
They remained silent. No one spoke again.
After supper, Shen Manting went back to her room.
She locked the door without even first carrying the infant. Nobody knew what she was up to inside.
Aunt Lin, still holding the infant in her arms, felt something was amiss. She sat down in front of Shen Luo’an and said, “Manting has been acting strangely today.”
Shen Luo’an thought something was wrong too. He glanced at the tiny infant in Aunt Lin’s arms and replied, “Perhaps she’s in a bad mood. I’ll check on her later.”
“Is she planning to run away? She’s been acting really strange today, all day.” Aunt Lin’s gaze was fixed on the door of the room. She couldn’t help recalling the image of Shen Manting escaping through the window.
Shen Luo’an thought nothing of it. He smiled and looked at the infant. “Don’t worry, she won’t give up on Little Moon.”
Aunt Lin glanced at the baby, too.
She nodded and said, “You’re right. The baby still has to be breast-fed. She wouldn’t have the heart to leave him behind.”
However, Shen Manting stayed inside the room for a long time.
The infant fell asleep, then woke up crying.
Aunt Lin noticed that he had soiled his diaper.
“Bring me a clean diaper,” she commanded, before whispering, “Go check on Manting. Don’t let her become ill from staying cooped up inside the room for too long.”
Shen Luo’an obeyed and found the key to the room easily.
However, he felt a strong resistance against the door.
As though something was blocking the door.
He pushed the door open with a forceful heave. To his surprise, he found the room empty.
Gusts of wind swept in from outside the window and lashed across Shen Luo’an.
