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."
