[Comprehensive British and American dramas] No.1 is called non-plural

Emma's teacher is a young lady who is also one of the instructors of the campus choir.

"But I don't think she likes me very much." Emma said, "I rejected her several times, about joining the school choir."

"I thought that was your hobby?" Isaac wondered.

"Hobbies plus work." Emma looked out the window, "There are too many things I want to participate in and experience, and I don't want to waste too much time on them. I can't spend all my time here and focus on other things all the time." I don’t know. Even if the teachers and equipment there are professional, if I want to, I will have more professional.”

"She doesn't understand your reason?" Isaac asked.

"It doesn't count, but she seems to regard this as my slack goal, and every time she looks at me, it seems that I am going to fall." Emma turned out a notebook, "I hate reading the comments she wrote for me This kind of tone that is good for me, as if I have strayed off the road without repenting."

"It's only been a few years, has the school's educational philosophy changed? I remember that the teachers I met at the time respected the students' choices and would only provide help rather than interference." That's why Isaac was able to meet and love each other, and had a great time .

"Maybe I'm so good that she feels that even a little bit of waste is a mistake and a loss to the singing industry?" Emma joked with a deadpan face.

Isaac laughed and shook his head, "I finally feel the blood relationship between us."

"Where?" Emma asked.

"Confidence is unmatched." After Isaac finished speaking, he nodded affirmatively.

Emma covered her face in despair, "I'm actually very humble..."

However, after Isaac met Emma's teacher Miss.Louisa, he understood why Emma thought she was stubborn and controlling. Miss.Louisa is young, fledgling, always wanting to make some achievements, and because of her background in a well-known music academy, she seems to have projected some ideals on Emma. As a result, Emma did not do what she imagined, and she was on the right track Emma's impatience was aroused when she used too much force.

But not a bad guy after all.

"Miss.Louisa, I'm Issac Costa, Emma Jully Costa's older brother." Issac looked at the teacher who was waiting in the office ahead of time, feeling dissatisfied in his heart, "I came today to ask about Steve Bulwark."

Miss.Louisa nodded, indicating that she was listening.

"I want to know, is there anything special about Steve Bulwark?" Issac didn't have enough time, he skipped the useless greetings and probing time, and directly pointed out the key points, "except for his family's donation to the school."

Miss.Louisa froze for a moment, but quickly realized, she just looked at Isaac's determined expression, she couldn't say anything to refute, "This student is a little special, but it's not his fault."

"It's not Emma's fault," Isaac said. "You can't let her have a boy stalking her all the time when she doesn't know. She even called me yesterday to pick her up because the boy stayed at the door of the classroom." I don’t want to leave. I don’t know how many similar things have happened before, but from now on, I don’t want it to happen again. This is also my alma mater, and I don’t want Emma to transfer until I have to make a choice.”

"Of course, the matter is not so serious. It's just a little misunderstanding." Miss.Louisa hurriedly explained.

"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, when no one explains it, it will only become a bigger and bigger problem." Isaac frowned, "After all, from the information I have, they are not equal in power, and You, Miss. Louisa, you're partial to Steve Bulwark."

"There's a reason for that." Miss.Louisa panicked about this accusation.

"That's why I'm here instead of making an arbitrary decision." Isaac spread his hands, showing a sincere and friendly look again.

"Steve Bulwark is different from other students." Miss.Louisa hesitated, then said softly, "This is all I can tell you. If you want to know more, I can contact his parents. But please believe Me, he meant no malice, he just expressed his love for Emma without knowing that it would cause discomfort or even panic."

"So, you're still on his side and refusing to give me a reason," Issac said. "Then, contact his parents."

Miss.Louisa seemed to want to explain something, but in the end she didn't say anything. Instead, she found the number of Bulwark's parents and briefly explained what happened here.The feedback given there was unexpectedly positive. They not only apologized, but also made an appointment to meet, but they hoped that Emma could also participate in this meeting.

Isaac considered it and agreed.

It was scheduled for the evening, and Isaac got off work to pick up Emma, ​​and then walked with the driver who came to pick up Steve Bulwark.

There is no doubt that the Bulwark family is very poor, but their hostess and hostess are unexpectedly gentle and friendly, which makes Emma, ​​who was a little nervous, relax a lot.As mentioned before, this girl is currently obsessed with love stories, and she kept giving Issac a hard time on the way here. Her imagination was so rich that Isaac wanted to persuade her to write novels.

Although the purpose of their trip was to solve the problem of Steve Bulwark's excessive attention to Emma, ​​they had a perfect dinner before that. Food can soothe many problems. He also followed Mr. Bulwark to the study.

"I'm sorry for the trouble Steve caused you before." Mr. Bulwark apologized first, "but I want you to listen to my explanation."

"That's why I'm here." Isaac sat on the chair, not a bit embarrassed.He always likes to talk to reasonable people, so that when he encounters a problem, he can always negotiate a solution acceptable to both parties, instead of fighting with chicken and egg after irrational words.

"This is Steve's medical certificate, and all his problems are on it." Mr. Bulwark handed over a folder.

Isaac didn't say much, just opened it and started reading.However, the more he looked, the deeper his eyebrows could not help but frown.

"Autism?" Isaac closed the folder.

"Yes, but I hope you don't misunderstand. Steve is just immersed in his own world and is not sensitive to external feedback, but he is by no means dangerous." Mr. Bulwark smiled bitterly, "I know you may wonder why you don't put Send Steve to a special school or get him a private teacher, but trust me, Steve's condition is improving, he's gradually blending in with the crowd, he wants to go to school, and I want everyone to treat him like a normal person... "

"By integrating into the crowd, do you mean his special attention to Emma?" Issac was a little confused, and he opened the folder again, looking from the back to the front according to the time, "Autism? Seriously?"

Mr. Bulwark's expression turned serious, "I know not everyone can understand this, but..."

"No, you misunderstood me," Isaac said. "I graduated in psychology, but my judgment on Steve is different from the medical certificate. Can I talk to him?"

"Dr. Jess is an expert in this field, and I trust his judgment." Mr. Bulwark shook his head, "Besides, Steve has been like this since he was a child, and this judgment is not made by a doctor. Doctors at every stage make it It’s just the degree of severity is different.”

"Then we can't continue talking." Isaac didn't budge either, "I think you even invited Emma here because Emma's presence is good for Steve's recovery, but I can't put Emma as an uncertain factor Beside. You have no problem with Steve's consideration, but I'm also responsible for Emma."

"What uncertain factors are you referring to?" Mr. Bulwark was not annoyed, but continued to ask.

"Has Steve ever had an accident?" Isaac asked, pointing to the file. "I saw that there was almost a year of blank time without any records on it, and then his condition suddenly became serious, and before that, it can be said that Basically, I can communicate with other people normally.”

"That's right." Mr. Bulwark replied, "During that time, it was a very difficult time for me and my family. Steve was kidnapped. We used all kinds of methods but failed to find him, and no one came. Ask for a ransom. Day after day, when we were almost desperate, Steve appeared in Texas, he was treated as a homeless mentally handicapped child to receive assistance, and then the police found his identity through the system, contact us."

"How can you be sure he was kidnapped when no one asked for a ransom?" Isaac asked.

"At that time, the nanny took him to relax in the park. It was just a mistake, and he disappeared. Later, after calling out the surveillance, it was found that he was suddenly dragged into a van. If this is not kidnapping, then What is kidnapping?" Mr. Bulwark said, "It doesn't sound so reasonable. After Steve was found, the police also came to question him, but at that time his condition had deteriorated, and we finally I don't know what happened to him."

"But he likes Emma very much."

"Yes, he has always liked her. To be precise, it was her singing. Every time he heard it, he would become very peaceful. It was the same before he was kidnapped." Mr. Bulwark said, "So when he said When I wanted to be friends with Emma, ​​I transferred him. Steve seldom made demands, and I wanted to satisfy him. Also, I think he is getting better and better. Although he looks too reserved, it doesn’t make people feel Obviously different from the others."

"The school also knows about it." Now, Isaac understood Miss.Louisa's partiality.

"Although I hope Steve can be treated equally, there are still some situations that need to be explained." Mr. Bulwark did not deny it.

At this time, Emma and Mrs. Bulwark walked in. Emma's eyes were red, and even her voice was a little muffled, "Isaac, I already know about Steve's situation, it's not his fault." After finishing speaking, she looked at Mr. Bulwark, "I'll take care of Steve at school, actually, he's really good at drawing."

Before Mr. Bulwark could express his thanks, he was interrupted by Isaac, "I'm afraid not."

Emma, ​​who was originally moved, was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Isaac with some helplessness.

"Mr. Costa." Mrs. Bulwark looked at Isaac incomprehensibly, then turned her gaze to her husband.

"Excuse me, ma'am," Isaac said, "I really have doubts about Steve, and I won't ask Emma to do anything until I'm sure."

"Isn't it just autism?" Emma thought for a while, stood beside Isaac, and expressed her attitude with actions.

"Then what do you want to do?" Mrs. Bulwark's voice was gentle despite her eagerness.

"I wanted to talk to him, the last time I said a word to him he ran away," Issac said.

The Bulwarks exchanged silent glances for a while, then agreed.

Maybe it was because he was in his own home this time, although Steve Bulwark was a little nervous, he didn't make the move to run away after all.He wasn't very cooperative, but he didn't completely resist either. The communication between Isaac and him is not difficult, nor is it too smooth.

"Steve is very smart, very smart." When the conversation was over, Isaac looked at Mr. Bulwark with complicated eyes, "He knows everything, but he thinks it doesn't matter at all, and then passively accepts everything you have arranged for him , He won’t speak until he really wants something.”

"What do you mean?" asked Mr. Bulwark.

"In my judgment, his autism has been cured long ago. Don't, don't interrupt me in a hurry." Issac stopped Mr. Bulwark's words, "I know that it can't be completely cured, and can only be corrected by various means. .Steve is doing well, better than he was before he was kidnapped. That can only mean one thing, and that is that his treatment did not stop after that, but continued, and it has been effective. His current condition is not the victim. The impact of autism, if you have to say it, should be the self-protection caused by the impact of the period of life before he was taken back by you. It is only the superficial symptoms and the manifestation of autism that overlap, which led to the doctor's misjudgment. What I have to say is that you have been treating his PTSD in the same way as autism in the past few years."

"This, this is ridiculous." Mr. Bulwark shook his head, "Leaving aside whether it's autism or PTSD, Steve was kidnapped in the first place, and his situation can only get worse rather than better."

"That's another issue," Issac said. "I would say autism isn't a threat, but PTSD is. It's not fair to have Emma around him."

"No, this is just your own opinion." Mr. Bulwark thought for a while, "Can you talk to Steve's doctor?"

"Of course, I'm here to solve problems, not create them." Isaac didn't think he was wrong.

Of course, he's always right.
