Sasha texted back: Really?
She was literally buzzing with excitement when she saw that text. She almost couldnât hold her phone.
The professor replied: Of course. His alter ego is born because his main personality went into hiding. If
the main personality returns, then the alter ego has no reason to exist.
But youâll need to observe him closely. If Iâm correct, the return of his main personality is most probably
caused by the recent changes in his attitude, the professor suddenly made a turn in his text.
Recent changes? What kind of changes? Sasha didnât quite get it, since she didnât learn too much about
psychology.
The professor explained: Iâm talking about how his alter ego sees things in the first place. If I recall
correctly, you told me he was bloodthirsty and resented the world after his alter ego showed up.
Sasha: Yes! Thatâs right!
The professor: What about now? Is he still as bloodthirsty as he used to be?
Sasha: Now?
She went to the kitchenâs entrance. When she saw Sebastian sleeping on the bed peacefully, she felt
unreal. Wow, if it wasnât for the professor, I wouldnât have realized that heâs mellowed out a lot.
Back when she first met the alter ego, he was unbelievably murderous, as if he wanted to destroy the
whole world. And he actually did a lot of cruel stuff.
He almost killed off Jaredâs bloodline, for instance. But when she looked at him again, Sebastian seemed
to have changed. It wasnât obvious when she left, but when she met him again, she realized he wasnât as
murderous as he used to be.
If he was his old self, he would have killed Solomon the moment he saw the latter. If he was his old self,
he would have killed the persons in charge of the Jadesonsâ delivery company.
Hmm⦠So what made him change?
Sasha put her phone down. She could feel herself getting filled with joy. It had been a long time since
she felt this happy and hopeful.
When Sebastian woke up the next day, his fever had subsided, and he felt refreshed for the first time in
ages.
âGood morning. You must be hungry. Breakfast is ready. Itâs just waiting for you.â Sasha was wearing a
beige shirt that day. She went up to him and smiled brightly, her eyes sparkling.
Her bright and bubbly attitude almost stunned him, but he quickly looked away and resumed his usual
demeanor. âGot it.â He pulled the blanket away and got out of bed.
Sasha did not dwell on his bad behavior. Since he had gotten out of bed, she went to get a pair of menâs
slippers and put them before him. âWear this. You just got all better, so donât fall sick again.â
For some reason, he didnât think Sasha was annoying, even though he usually hated it if anyone were to
nag or butter him up.
It must be the fever. He calmly wore the slippers and went to the bathroom.
After he was gone, Sasha called her daughter over. âUncle Sebastianâs up, Vivi. Itâs almost time for
breakfast, so go get your bowl.â
Sasha and Vivian addressed him as Uncle Sebastian again after he woke up.
Vivian was texting her brothers, but when Sasha called her, she replied, âOkay, Mommy!â
She continued texting her brothers: Daddyâs up, guys. Iâm gonna have breakfast with him.
Matteo texted back: All right. Remember, try to act as spoiled as you can whenever Daddyâs around. Get
him to take you and Mommy home together, no matter what.
Ian chimed in: Do it.
Vivian thumped her chest confidently and replied: Leave this to me. Iâll handle it!
She tucked her tablet away and wobbled off to take the bowls for her and her parents.
Sebastian was done washing up after ten minutes, and he came out to Sasha and Vivian waiting for him
in the dining room.
âVivi, I thought I said weâre waiting for Uncle Sebastian. Stop eating on your own.â
âI am not! I just⦠had a lick, thatâs all.â The cute little girl stuck her tongue out at her mother cheekily.
Sasha smiled. She patted Vivianâs head and sorted out the childâs pudding.
It was a heartwarming sight.
Winterâs sun woke up later than usual, especially in this city. It was already getting late, but the first rays
of sunshine were just gracing the land. As it shone on the ladies, it bathed them in a beautiful, glorious
golden light.
