Good heavens.

This was a brutal blow.

What a bully!

Brutal blow!

This was the greatest hit below the belt that Gong Jie had ever seen!

"You can't be such a bully!" Alice couldn't bear to continue watching this exchange. "You're putting a bullet through your uncle's heart."

Gong Jie put his hand over his heart with a gesture of being hurt. "You're... you're breaking my heart."

Alice giggled and suddenly raised her wrist to check the time. She realized it was getting late, so she said, "Well, I have something to do here. This hospital has a large garden at the back. You guys can take a look around. I'll try to get Professor Romanka to hand over custody of Natalia."

With that, she left.

Gong Jie found it rather boring where they were and thought of exploring the back garden. Youyou agreed. His intention of coming here, in the first place, was to observe how the dual personality disorder treatment worked. However from the time he set foot in the hospital, all he felt was a sense of endless depression. Initially, he had wanted to consider receiving treatment. Now, it seemed, he was giving up right away.

"I don't want Gong Fan to disappear." Youyou answered truthfully, "I think I'd no longer be a complete me if he disappears."

Gong Jie agreed. "I too, don't think these treatments suit you so far. But don't worry. No matter how bad the situation, there's always a way out. Don't worry too much."

The boy massaged his brow with a headache. "I just don't feel like I'm in good mental form lately."

"What's the matter?"

"I find it hard to wake up. I go to bed early, but I still feel tired when I wake up. And the symptoms of amnesia are getting more obvious."

"Amnesia?"

"Yes. In the past, I'd have some insight into what went on when Gong Fan's personality occupied the body. But now, his personality is becoming more and more independent, and the two personalities have drawn a clear line. After I become 'me', I have no idea what had happened prior to that."

Gong Jie knitted his relaxed brow once more upon hearing this.

"Don't worry for now. I'll ask Alice about this later. There should be ways to suppress all this."

"Uh huh." The boy spotted a swing in the garden and went to sit on it.

Gong Jie raised an eyebrow. "No more walking?"

"No, I'll sit here for a while. Go ahead and take a stroll if you wish."

"Yeah, sure. Wait here for me. I'll be back after a walk." Having said that, Gong Jie followed the path and wandered casually around the back garden.

The man was particular about landscaping. When it came to the properties he'd invested in around the world, whether villas or bungalows, he had been able to compromise on most things, with the exception of gardening, which had to be of the highest standard.

It had to be said that the interior furnishings and gardens of Michel Hospital were worlds apart.

As oppressive as the environment within the hospital was, the back garden was unbelievably beautiful. It was said that its landscape design had won world-class awards. This hospital was founded by Professor Romanka, and his expectations in garden layout were especially exacting and demanding. Gong Jie found this interesting, so he took a strolling tour around the trail.

The boy, on the other hand, was bored, so he sat on the swing and swung his legs. Then out of the corner of his eye, he saw a snow-white cluster of something. Taken by surprise, his gaze followed in the direction of the movemnt and then he spotted a figure hiding behind a tree trunk.
