"Grace Foster, look, isn't that William Clark having another episode? He's actually picking wild xie fruits by the roadside and eating them. He really looks a bit pitiful. Let's hurry to the company and tell Evelyn." Little Alice and Grace Foster had just bought rice noodles when they saw William Clark eating wild fruit by the roadside, and they were truly shocked.

A few curious people watched William Clark from a distance as he sat by the roadside eating wild fruit, each with their own thoughts—some sympathetic, some just watching for fun, some disdainful, and some gloating.

William Clark acted as if he hadn't noticed at all, still enjoying his delicious treat. He thought to himself, after eating so many mingyan fruits, it looks like he can start cultivating tonight, or maybe even this afternoon.

Evelyn Blake didn't even have time for lunch. After hearing what Little Alice and Grace Foster said, she rushed out of the office in a hurry. Sure enough, as soon as she reached the main entrance on the ground floor, she saw William Clark from afar, taking a xie fruit he had picked from the roadside out of a basin and eating it. Looking at the xie fruit tree, there were none left, and there were only a few left in the basin in front of William Clark. It seemed the rest had already been eaten by him.

Looking again at the many people on the roadside watching William Clark eat xie fruit from a distance, not a single one went up to tell him that this fruit shouldn't be eaten. Evelyn Blake's chest felt tight and stifled. Seeing William Clark enjoying the fruit, she suddenly couldn't hold back her tears. No matter what kind of person he is, after all, he's still her husband in name.

She watched as William Clark picked up another fruit, looked at it, and, still reluctant to eat it, put it in his pocket. Then he carefully wiped the water off the remaining fruits and put them in his pocket as well.

Suddenly, Evelyn Blake remembered that since she brought him back yesterday, he hadn't eaten anything. This time, since she brought him back, the old housekeeper on his mother's side surely didn't know, so it was impossible for anyone to bring him food. He must have been so hungry that he came out looking for something to eat. Thinking of this, although Evelyn Blake hated William Clark, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

No matter how he bullied her before, now he's a mental patient. Even if you keep a dog, you'd still give it something to eat. Suddenly, Evelyn Blake broke down in tears at the entrance of the building, not knowing whether it was for her own miserable fate or for something else.

After her grief, she decided to take him back first and talk later. But when she looked up, William Clark was nowhere to be seen. Looking around, there were only people gossiping and some laughter, but William Clark had long since disappeared.

"Evelyn? What's wrong?" A handsome young man carrying a briefcase walked into the building and saw Evelyn Blake looking around at the entrance, so he asked.

"Oh, it's nothing." After saying that, Evelyn Blake lowered her head and went up the stairs, not saying anything more to the young man.

The man who spoke to Evelyn Blake was called John Sullivan, the company's business manager. He was very capable, and it was said that his salary was second only to the general manager. His intentions toward Evelyn Blake were as obvious as Sima Zhao's ambition—everyone in the company knew. But even though Evelyn Blake had a mentally ill husband, she still showed no interest in John Sullivan.

Evelyn Blake returned to her office like a walking corpse, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Evelyn sis, are you okay?" Anna saw that something was wrong with Evelyn Blake and hurried over to comfort her.

"I'm fine, Little Anna, thank you." After replying, Evelyn Blake went straight back to her seat, still thinking about whether William Clark would run off somewhere else. She also thought about all the things this spoiled young master had done in the past. After they got married, although he still indulged in pleasure, he had much less money to spend, so he seemed a bit better than before.

But she had never paid him any attention. Even when he tried to take liberties with her several times and failed, he would always beat and kick her. But ever since he became mentally ill, every time he tried to lay a hand on her, she would teach him a lesson.

Ever since that incident two years ago, when she beat him up after an attempted rape and told him that if he ever tried again, she would kill herself, he never tried to touch her again. He just kept smashing things at home and shouting.

This time, when he was discharged from the hospital, he seemed a bit different from before. He even greeted Mrs. Grant. Could it be that his condition really improved? But then she remembered the scene of him eating xie fruit by the roadside and immediately dismissed the thought. She never expected to feel even a little bit of concern for this man. Sigh, just treat him like a dog she keeps.

But would he run off somewhere else? After what she saw at noon, Evelyn Blake couldn't calm down and get back to work. She just stared blankly at the computer screen, lost in thought.

Chapter 004: Fortunately, There's Food Today

William Clark finished eating the mingyan fruit but didn't go straight home. Instead, after returning the basin to the snack shop, he went directly into the park. The park was very large, and Walter Harris walked several hundred meters into its depths. Although the park was big, it was noon, so there were very few people around.
