“What makes you think I don’t miss you?”

“If you miss me, you’ll be eager to come back to visit.” Natalia pouted, looking aggrieved.

Gong Jie found that rather difficult to bear. He ran his fingers lightly over the screen, as if he was touching her face.

“Daddy will come home and spend some time with you in a while, okay?”

Natalia didn’t seem satisfied with the answer. “And when will you come home?” she pressed on.

“Um, in a few days.”

“Well… how many days?”

Gong Jie creased his brow slightly. He didn’t know what his schedule would be like in the coming days, so it was impossible to give her an immediate answer. But if he tried to be perfunctory and made an appointment with the girl that he couldn’t keep, she would end up disappointed in him and he would lose credibility with her.

So he had to answer that question with due consideration.

Thus, he replied, “Can Daddy call you back tomorrow? Daddy will have to organize my work and take some time to go back to see you.”

“If Daddy is really busy, you don’t have to come back to visit me.” Natalia felt a little embarrassed. She could see that the man was busy. She missed him, but she couldn’t possibly insist. Natalia was a sensible, well-behaved and thoughtful girl who didn’t like to put others in a difficult position.

Gong Jie’s heart softened further at this. “Good girl. I promise, I’ll make time to go back to see you, and I’ll keep my word. But I’m not sure how my work is going to pan out in the next few days. Why don’t you pass the phone to Uncle and I’ll explain things to him?”

“Okay… alright.” Natalia reluctantly handed the phone to Hua Jin.

The actor stepped away, phone in hand. Before Gong Jie could say anything, he lowered his voice and asked, “Has Alice told you?”

“Tell me what?”

“About Natalisa.”

Natalisa? Alice had not contacted him during this time. Who was Natalia?

Sensing his confusion from his expression, Hua Jin realized that Gong probably didn’t know about this. “Alice suspects that Natalisa’s personality has shown up, but, according to Alice, Natalisa is a dangerous personality, even capable of hypnosis techniques, so Natalisa is not safe to be around.”

“Dangerous?”

“It won’t be wrong to say she’s a danger to us. She’s like a time bomb. It’s a matter of when, and not if, it goes off.”

Gong Jie’s brows drew together at that. “Alice did not mention that to me,” he replied immediately.

“I think the girl’s too suspicious.” The actor paused, then said, “I’ve been under some stress lately. Not because I’m afraid, but because I’m afraid that if I don’t take good enough care of Natalia, something might go wrong. After all, I don’t have the experience of taking care of patients, and my reflexes are always slow.”

“Don’t worry. There’s no need for all that stress. Just pay more attention to how she’s doing. I’m sure that with Alice around, the situation will be under control. I’ll get my work organized and try to get back home as soon as possible.”

Because Alice was with Natalia, Gong Jie had not been so worried. But having heard what Hua Jin had said, he realized things may not be that simple. Therefore, he decided to make time to return to the country as soon as possible and see how Natalia was doing.
