Chapter 475 Re-encountering Howard
She rubbed her aching temple and cautioned herself to stop guessing. Besides, Jensen had already found the mystery man who had saved her; in time, she could learn something from him. She would not take what Madalyn had said seriously, but she would not completely rule out Gilbert’s suspicions, either. She would wait and see how things would unfold, eventually.
To clear her mind, Kisa did not return to her place immediately but wandered along the road. It was almost four 4.00 pm when Kisa texted Lea to help her pick up the three children. She did not know when Gilbert would take Andrew and Ada back to the Kooper family. Since they had been with her for over two months, she would feel sad if they left.
The air was cool today, with no wind and clouds. Leaves covered both sides of the street, making the scenery desolate. Kisa pulled her collar closer as she walked silently along a quiet trail full of leaves. Suddenly, someone ran out of a courtyard and hugged her tightly, shocking her. Before she knew what had happened, two more figures rushed out of the same courtyard.
“I don’t want to go back in. I don’t want to be locked in. You guys go away, go away…”
The voice sounded familiar. Kisa frowned and looked over, only to find that it was Howard. She had not seen Howard for a long time. He had gained a little weight and no longer had that fake gentle smile on his face. Now he looked a little childish. Kisa looked and found that next to her was the side door of a mental hospital.
“I’m sorry. Did he scare you?”
One staff member apologized to Kisa, and the other came up, wanting to pull Howard away. But Howard grabbed at her arm, unwilling to let go no matter how hard the staff member pulled him.
Kisa’s arm hurt and reddened from Howard’s clasp. She helplessly said to the staff, “It’s okay. I’ll handle it.” Then Kisa said gently to Howard, “Why won’t you go back in?”
Howard shook his head vigorously. “It is not fun inside. It is not fun at all.”
“Then I will go in with you, and we can play.” Kisa thought briefly and said, “How about playing superstars?”
“Yeah!” Howard jumped up and down with joy. “I like superstar games. I want to play it.”
And so Kisa successfully coaxed Howard back into the mental hospital. But just as she was about to leave, Howard grabbed her again.
“You said you were going to play superstars with me. You shouldn’t lie.”
Kisa could do nothing about him and said, “Fine, fine. You are a superstar. Look, there is a stage there. Go up there and perform. I will be your audience, okay?”
Howard immediately climbed onto the stage and started acting and talking to himself. Kisa could not understand what he was saying. She just clapped her hands and cheered. Suddenly, Howard pointed to a TV screen and laughed, “Haha… I know that woman. I tied her up last time, and she was so scared that she peed in her pants. Haha… Her acting skills are not as good as mine. She peed in her pants, haha…“) Kisa looked to the side and was surprised to see a 40–inch LCD TV mounted on the wall next to her. She did not notice it at first because the volume was too low. Howard kept pointing at Sharon on the TV and saying that Sharon had wet her pants.
