“Mona,” Anna suddenly called her, stopping her. Mona turned around. “Based on my observation, his second personality might have awakened. If so, he will be in an emotional state. Two personalities sharing a body… It’s symbiotic and also competitive. Besides, the main personality tried to erase the second personality when he woke up, but now it seemed like he failed.” Mona listened to Anna carefully but could not fully understand her. “Erase the second personality? What does that mean?” Anna explained, “In short, he’s returning to normal. His mental and psychological states are damaged, hence giving birth to the second personality. He is like the bad cells in the human body that must be erased and eliminated before the body can function normally.” “Despite taking medication, he still can’t stop the second personality from awakening?” “Yeah. He did a lot of things to try to erase the second personality, including electrotherapy, acupuncture, and many other methods. He is no
His eyes shone when he saw the woman that he missed so much. He was like an abandoned child who found shelter in Mona. He reached out to her and held her hands. “You’re finally here.” Mona could feel the man’s hands shaking. She looked into his eyes, and through them, she saw an unfamiliar soul. After spending time with both of them, Mona realized they were two different people, two very different souls on both ends of the spectrum. Thaddeus’ main personality was logical, cold-blooded, and always considered the pros and cons of the situation. It would be foolish to be sentimental with him. The second personality was a sentimental soul and also the weaker side of himself. It was born from the depression and oppression he faced as a child. Mona suddenly realized how painful it was for Thaddeus to have two personalities in one body. “Thaddeus, are you alright?” Mona sat down beside the bed. She did not know how to talk with the man anymore. A moment ago, Anna had asked
Mona held his face and told him to sit down. “Do you remember why you are suffering from a split personality disorder? It’s because Thaddeus’ mental state faced a lot of pressure when he was young and lacked emotions, hence his sentimental side is gone. If he’s able to regulate his emotions, he will be able to recover to a normal person’s level and have a stable mental and psychological state. Then, you two will be able to become one, right?” “Liar!” Thaddeus got aggressive and pushed Mona’s hand away. Mona bolted up and stepped away. Upset, she yelled, “I’m pregnant! What if you hurt the baby?!” Thaddeus was thrilled to hear the news. “Pregnant? Is it mine? Or his?” Mona rubbed her temples. “I don’t want to talk to you. I’m having a headache.” “It’s mine. It’s definitely mine.” The man was confident, and the certainty recovered his energetic and smug look. Mona sighed. For some reason, the second personality seemed a lot more childish this time. “Yeah. It’s yours, yo
When afternoon tea was delivered, Mona turned her back on Thaddeus and put the powder into his drink. “Have some juice.” Mona put the glass of juice on the mini table in front of the man. “Be sure to finish it.” Mona stroked the man’s hair and looked into his eyes. Trying to knock him out cold made her a little nervous. Thaddeus leaned on the bed and stared at the glass of juice lazily. “Put it there. I’ll drink when I’m thirsty.” Mona pouted. What a spoilt king! She hoped that when Anna performed the hypnotherapy on him, he would be dead as a doornail. “If you don’t want to eat, I’ll start first.” Mona picked the sushi up from the plate and started eating. The man was tempted by the way she ate, so he leaned over and had a bite. “I thought you didn’t want to eat.” Mona turned away and took another bite from her sushi. She rolled her eyes at him. He smiled brightly and pinched her cheek. “I really love and hate your little temper.” Mona jokingly gave the man a pun
“It would be great if you can go with him.” “He’s not a three-year-old.” Mona pouted. “I have my own things to do as well.” “Just in case. I’m just reminding you. It’s your call, Mrs. Fontaine.” Anna waved. “I’ll be going back to my work. I wish Mr. Fontaine good luck tonight.” Mona watched Anna walk away without pause and was somehow intrigued by her. The woman was not any older than herself, yet she sounded experienced and professional. She must be someone who had seen years of experience.Mona believed that people were attracted to each other by certain traits, and Anna had one of those qualities that attracted people to her. “Suzy, come in.” Thaddeus’ voice came from inside the ward. Mona regained her composure and returned to the void. Anna strutted away in high heels and professional formal attire that was shrouded by a doctor’s robe. Her hand was pocketed as she strode in confidently. When she made a turn into a corner, she bumped into another man who was also m
Anna followed Alex through the long and quiet hallway; Alex was in front while Anna followed from behind. It was sunset. The golden light shed its light on the man’s towering figure, highlighting him with a layer of gold. Anna was fascinated by the dreamy scene. She walked faster to be in the man’s extended shadow which made her feel safe. She looked at their overlapped shadows and somehow had the urge to cry. It had been eight years since she had a crush on him. In the past eight years, she had shown signs of her feelings for him, and she believed he was not an idiot to ignore all those signs. He was just pretending not to care because he had never reserved a spot for her in his heart. If he had feelings for her too, he would not have feigned ignorance for so long. Anna rubbed her nose. Her eyes were teary, and they started to blur her vision. She wanted to scold herself for being a coward, but she could not hold her feelings back. Even though she was a specialist that cou
If he brought up the topic, something must have happened, such as the only woman who could make him feel like getting married coming back. “Vivian came back,” Alex said casually. He glanced at Anna when he mentioned the name. “You guys should have met before. She’s two years older than you.” Anna was surprised. She smiled and echoed, “Vivian Beacon? Her name was like a goddess’s back when we were still studying. You’ve hit the jackpot, Mr. Ortega.” Alex narrowed his eyes as he looked at Anna. He smiled softly. “Yeah, I’ve hit the jackpot.” Anna locked her fingers together and looked down at her shaking hands. She tried her best to suppress the urge of breaking down in tears. A few seconds later, she looked up at Alex. “Let’s get working. I’ll arrange the documents.” She took the documents from the man and fanned them out on her desk. She swiftly and deftly arranged the documents according to Alex’s requirements. Alex stood aside and watched her work. He went over with c
Alex went over to Thaddeus’ ward. The door was not fully shut, and he could hear the husband and wife fooling around inside. Through the crack, the man was like a puppy, bothering Mona to help him put on his tie. Alex found it surprising. He had never seen his friend so shameless before. There was a saying about men being stupid and childish when it came to love, and it must be referring to Thaddeus' current condition. Alex knocked on the door and walked in. Mona was helping Thaddeus with the tie. Since the second personality woke up, the man behaved like a fool. He could not even take care of himself properly. Mona pushed the shameless man away when Alex came in. She smiled and welcomed Alex. “Mr. Ortega, have a seat.” Thaddeus was angry that Alex interrupted his time with Mona. He yelled, "Who let you in? Get out!" “Why are you being so fierce?” Mona tapped Thaddeus’ shoulder and then smiled apologetically at Alex. “I’m sorry, Mr. Ortega. Thaddeus is acting up a
