4086 The Other Side 55

Alice felt like crying. She felt as if she had become the "representative" of the demon lord in the eyes of Gong Jie and Youyou.

But was she really that scary?

…

Despite the twists and turns, the boy got to see Lucy as he had wished. She was held in a ward where she was, in essence, no different from a prisoner, even if superficially they claimed she was being provided humane treatment.

The boy noticed that various surveillance cameras had been installed in the ward. In one corner alone, there were two. The entire room was fitted with a dozen of them, placed strategically to allow full-scale surveillance.

The boy speculated that perhaps there were even surveillance cameras set up in the bathroom as well. Professor Romanka would never miss a spot to observe Lucy's every word and action.

Inside the ward, a door isolated Lucy from the outside world.

There was a window in the door with an iron grille through which the boy could see Lucy sitting alone at her desk, quietly painting. From this perspective, Lucy looked no different from a normal person at all. In fact, a person with a multiple personality disorder usually looked no different from normal folks.

However, the boy knew clearly that someone with a multiple personality disorder was fundamentally different from normal folks.

"Which personality is she now?" Gong Jie asked curiously, lowering his voice.

Alice shook her head and looked at her for a moment. She, too, felt lost. "Since she's painting, it should be Lucy. Lucy loves painting. When she's got free time, she paints quietly by herself."

"Oh!"

Youyou felt ill. He was glad he was being protected by so many people. Whether it was Daddy, Mommy, Gong Jie, Little Yichen, or Lisa, they were all dedicated to protecting him.

Back then, for some reason, a professor had learned of his condition. The man was a famous psychiatrist in London, so he had wanted to take over the boy to study his condition. Yun Shishi adamantly refused.

At that time, the professor seemed sincere and repeatedly emphasized that if this dragged on, he was worried that his condition would continue to worsen.

But Yun Shishi was even more adamant. Superficially, she didn't make it too obvious, but she knew in her heart that this professor, who claimed to be doing the boy a favor by studying his condition, had ulterior motives. He just wanted to use the boy to complete this academic conquest.

She was determined to make her stand. Even if his condition worsened, she would not let the boy end up like those patients with multiple personalities who were confined by the hospital as if they were supervised prisoners. They faced a sterile world and were given no freedom at all. As a child, the boy had experienced such helplessness and loneliness. She wasn't willing to let him face it again.

Mu Yazhe was also very protective of the boy. Whether it was Youyou or Gong Fan, he treated the boy no differently. He firmly believed that even if Gong Fan's personality was not the primary personality, he was still a part of Youyou and was still his son.

…

Lucy had been locked up here for a long time. Initially, she only had five personalities, but now, she had ten.

The other five personalities were not created by her. Rather, Professor Romanka had used hypnosis to create dreams for her, and created the personalities in those dreams. If the ten personalities were to perform their duties in protecting this body, it would have been fine, and not a bad treatment plan.
