âWhy did your parents stay in Country Y?â Gu Yimo asked.
âThere was a war in Country Y, and they couldnât leave. They only had time to send me back.â Ye Shengge bit her lips and looked sad. âI fainted because of the secret technique of losing my memory, and I was sent to the plane and back to Yang City. Not long after I woke up, I received the news of their deaths but I donât remember anything. They didnât tell anyone about my personality disorder to protect me. Even Ye Wenhua and his wife didnât know.â
Gu Yimo nodded and said, âThatâs right. They only know that your personality changed.â
âMr. Gu, Iâm telling you all this because I hope you can help me.â She looked at Gu Yimo, her eyes firm and sad. âI want her to disappear forever.â
âSister-in-law, tell me. Itâs because of your fear and self-reproach that she showed up.â Gu Yimo thought for a bit and said. âIf you want to defeat her, the first thing you need to do is to defeat your inner demon. You need to accept the fact that youâve killed someone before, and at the same time, you need to realize that itâs not your fault. Most importantly, Old Jiâs injury has nothing to do with you.â
Ye Shengge shivered and closed her eyes.
âYouâre already an adult now. I believe itâs no longer difficult for you to accept things that you couldnât accept when you were younger. After all, your second personality has been asleep for so many years and she might still have the mind of a little girl.â Gu Yimo said. âBut the trouble is, regarding Old Ji... You mustnât blame yourself. Your self-reproach and guilt are nutrients to her. If you canât accept that âthis has nothing to do with youâ from the bottom of your heart, sheâll still reappear.â
Ye Shengge smiled bitterly.
âYouâre right, but...â
However, how could she not blame herself? If it werenât for her stubbornness and persistence, Ji Shiting wouldnât have compromised. That way, his second personality wouldnât have appeared at all, and he wouldnât have been hurt and lying in the operating theater.
âI know itâs difficult.â Gu Yimo scratched his head. âBut if you want her to disappear, youâll have to do it. You mustnât be controlled by her. In a sense, sheâs also a part of you. You need to accept the fact that your personality isnât perfect. Thereâs nothing to be ashamed of. Nobody is perfect.â
Ye Shengge stared at the red light above the door of the operating theater.
The manâs firm gaze and gentle smile appeared in her mind again... Why did she only understand it now?
He had actually told her the answer she wanted countless times in various ways, but she couldnât understand it or didnât dare believe it.
If she had known, if she had known...
Tears welled up in her eyes again.
âYes,â she mumbled. âI have to do it. I have to.â
She had to do it for Ji Shiting.
âIâve never done any research in this area before,â Gu Yimo thought for a bit and said. âBut Iâm starting to be interested in the topic of personality disorder, so Iâll help you think of a way. If thereâs a reliable doctor, Iâll recommend him to you.â
âThank you.â Ye Shengge smiled at him.
She glanced at the operating theater, and felt as if her heart was being clenched extremely hard.
