George Mole fue a recoger a su hijo, por el camino no hablaron de nada. Adrian imaginaba que habría mucha gente esperando en su casa para verle de nuevo, pero sólo estaba su madre y su abuela.
Adrian se metió en la cama y no salió en 10 días. Sus padres se sentían muy culpables y no sabían qué hacer para que saliera de la cama. Su hermanita Rosie intentaba jugar con él y recibió visitas de Bert, Barry y su abuela. Pero Adrian sequía estando triste.
El doctor Donaldson era psicólogo y dijo que Adrian estaba sufriendo una depresión. Adrian le contaba sus problemas y juntos buscaban soluciones:
- Si no aprobaba sus exámenes este año, podría repetirlos al año siguiente.
- Sus padres estaban muy ocupados con Rosie, pero eso no significaba que sus padres no le quisieran.
- Adrian no era un chico feo; era un chico normal.
- El problema de la paternidad de Rosie no era su problema.
- Adrian escribió una carta ofensiva al director del instituto. El doctor Donaldson le mandaría otra carta explicando lo sucedido.
- Pandora entraría en la categoría de “problemas que no se pueden solucionar”.
Adrian consiguió salir de la cama. Ahora se pasaba los días en el sofá viendo la tele.
