âI find it hard to imagine falling for someone. Do I have to live with my wife when I get married?â
âHow would it be otherwise?â
Gong Jie countered, âDo you want to stick to your mommy forever?â
The boy hesitated. âIf Daddy doesnât mind!â
âIâm sure he minds.â
!!
ââ¦â
âWho doesnât want some time alone with the woman he loves!â For once, Gong Jie was making a stand for Mu Yazhe. âDonât tell me youâll grow up to be a mommyâs boy!â
âI donât know. Isnât it a good thing, being a mommyâs boy?â
âMommyâs boys are much despised people. If you do that, it will inevitably cause a war between mother and daughter-in-law!â
The boyâs lips twitched. âUncle, youâre not even married. Why are you thinking about what happens after Iâm married?â
His brother snorted in disapproval. âIâm just worried about you!â
âUncle, donât worry about me. Itâs better to mind your own lifelong affairs.â
The man smiled faintly at that. âI think it is better to be alone and at ease. I have no interest in women.â
âOh?â The boyâs interest was piqued and he felt rather nosy. âYou actually do like men, donât you?â
Gong Jie frowned and glanced at him. âYou seem very nosy about my love life.â
âGet over it! Stop worrying about other peopleâs judgment,â the boy assured him with an old pat on the shoulder. âOur societyâs very open these days, and itâs not uncommon for men to like men. Thereâs freedom to love, and people of the same gender can fall in love.â
Gong Jieâs eyelids twitched violently again. It was hard to imagine that such words would come from a ten-year-old child!
It was extremely out of place.
The man suddenly changed the topic. âAlice recently took in a girl who, like you, has multiple personalities. Sheâs eighteen. Apparently, she plans to start with this girlâs condition and take a deeper dive into this area of work.â
The boy was surprised to hear this. âMultiple personalities?â
âUh huh.â
âCan I ⦠see her?â
Gong Jie raised an eyebrow. âWhy do you want to see her?â
âCanât I see her?â The boy pouted indignantly.
The man couldnât dissuade him. âOkay. Iâll take you there when youâre on vacation.â
âUh huh.â The boy paused, then mysteriously made a gesture to shush the man. âDonât tell Gong Fan about this, in case he gets sensitive.â
âGot it.â
â¦
Lucy, the girl Alice had mentioned, was being held at Michel Hospital in Miami.
The reason she was in custody was that there was a berserker among Lucyâs personalities. As a result, Lucy had at one time been viewed as dangerous, and thus was heavily monitored and completely deprived of her personal freedom.
Before Alice took over, Lucy had been Professor Romankaâs patient. Professor Romanka was a living textbook in the fields of psychology and psychiatry. More than that, he was an honorary professor at Michel Hospital. His work in the fields of psychology and psychiatry were regarded as authoritative.
Lucy had been locked up in Michel and was not allowed any visitors. If it hadnât been for Aliceâs connection, it would have been impossible to meet her. Before flying to Miami, Alice had repeatedly warned Gong Jie not to reveal that Youyou had a split personality disorder when he saw Professor Romanka.
âThis guy is crazy. You have to be careful.â
Even though he didnât know why Alice had warned him about this, he agreed unconditionally.
Alice had always been in possession of the boyâs medical report.
