CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 1887

Karina nodded to the caretaker to signal she understood. After the caretaker left, she approached Dylan’s desk.

Squatting down to his level, she looked at Dylan, who was fully absorbed in his block puzzle. “I know how to put this together. Would you like me to teach you?”

Dylan paused for a moment.

Karina pretended not to notice. “It’s tricky, isn’t it? And it seems like this block is part of a set. Are there more pieces somewhere?”

Dylan glanced at her, and Karina initially thought he would ignore her entirely.

To her surprise, he responded. “Yes, there are… in the room.”

The sentence was short, but it was enough to make Karina’s heart soar. Communication—even this little bit—meant there was hope.

She followed him to his room to retrieve the rest of the blocks, and the two of them spent the entire afternoon building together.

Partway through, a caretaker brought in a meal, placing it on the table nearby.

But Dylan barely glanced at the food, even as his stomach growled audibly. He showed no intention of picking up the spoon, seemingly indifferent to his own hunger.

Karina couldn’t let that slide.

Taking one of the blocks he was holding, she said, “This is the method I was teaching you, but I haven’t shown you the rest yet. Do you want to keep learning? If so, how about eating first?”

“I’m not hungry,” Dylan replied almost immediately. But his stomach betrayed him with another growl.

Karina chose not to point it out, instead nodding with understanding. “Alright. But I am hungry. How about we eat first, and then we can keep building?”

Dylan hesitated, his face taking on an unexpectedly adult expression, as if he were seriously weighing the decision.

Karina wasn’t surprised. She knew that some autistic children were exceptionally bright—some even showed signs of genius. But their brilliance often came at the cost of emotional barriers that kept them from connecting with the outside world.

She waited patiently, not rushing him, giving him the time he needed to decide.
