Youyou looked surprised at this. âIs she ⦠a patient of yours?â
Alice shook her head and simply said, âSheâs Professor Romankaâs daughter.â
âDaughter?â
It didnât look like it. Not at all. Despite the fact that being Asian, thereâs a tendency to look at foreignersâ faces thinking that they all look similar, Youyou was discerning enough.
Professor Romanka had an aquiline nose and a very three-dimensional profile typical of an European man. From Nataliaâs profile, one could tell she wasnât purely of European lineage, and her complexion didnât have that sickly pallor.
âWait here for me. Iâll be right back.â With that, Alice carried Natalia out of the room.
Through the window, the boy saw Nataliaâs unhappy expression. Her eyes were tinged with sadness. She was clearly resisting. He was determined to get to the bottom of this.
So, as soon as Alice returned, he went straight to the point.
âNatalia is not Professor Romankaâs biological daughter, is she?â
Alice was clearly taken aback. She had not taken the boy to meet Professor Romanka officially, so how did he know?
The boy must have read her skepticism because he clarified, âThereâs a picture of him at the hospital. It says heâs Professor Romanka. It must be his picture, right?â
Surprised, Alice remarked, âI didnât realize you were so observant.â
âSo⦠itâs true then that she isnât his biological child?â
......
Gong Jie looked on coldly. This nephew of his seemed especially concerned about the girl. Love at first sight? In love for the first time?
Apparently unaware of the meaningful look Gong Jie was giving him, the boy said seriously, âShe seems upset. She was trying to hide from you.â
Alice said helplessly, âBecause she wouldnât go back to the ward.â
âSheâs a patient?â
âI suppose you could say that!â
âYou suppose?â The boy was clearly not satisfied with this vague explanation. âYour explanation seems a bit far-fetched.â
âYou seem very concerned about her?â Alice noticed that too. âNatalia does look beautiful. Like a porcelain doll.â
âDonât change the topic.â
âFine then!â Alice immediately threw up her hands in surrender. âShe was an orphan,â she replied. âAt the age of three, she was adopted by Professor Romanka. At the time, Natalya was an ordinary little girl. Butâ¦â
âBut?â
âNow, sheâs just like you.â
The boy said the sensitive word aloud. âDual personality?â Like him. Didnât that simply mean a split personality?
Alice nodded. âYeah.â She mulled it over for a moment, then decided it was best to tell the truth. âBut her other personality was cultivated by Professor Romanka.â
âCultivatedâ¦?!â
Even Gong Jie was surprised, let alone the boy.
âCan personalities still be cultivated?â
The man found it suspicious as well.
Previously, Alice had suggested this idea. However, at that time, he thought that it was just an idea. He did not expect that one could really cultivate a personality!
âIn general, the other personality is split from the primary personality and nurtured. Just like for yourself, Gong Fanâs personality was also shaped by your subconscious mind. Then, just as it can be shaped by the primary personality, it can be cultivated by the outside world.â
Was that really the case? Could a normal person nurture a second personality? This completely subverted what the boy knew.
