4235 The Other Side 204

The actor carefully lifted Natalisa into the car and headed home.

Alice finally came downstairs. When Youyou saw her, he stood up immediately and said bluntly, "I sensed it too. Natalia's second personality is called Natalisa, right?"

"Yes, I remember mentioning that name to you."

"She seems quite able to create opportunities to be alone with me today." The boy frowned. "What's going on? Have you finally noticed something wrong with her?"

Alice answered truthfully. "There aren't many clues yet. I'm worried that Natalia's second personality, being too shrewd, will eventually discover that I'm observing her. If she raises her guard, it will make it difficult for me to observe anything else that's fishy."

"Then are you sure that Gong Fan's disappearance is related to her?"

Alice took a deep breath at that. "I'm sorry," she said grimly. "I can't be sure, and I only suspect it. But I think it's highly likely that she has something to do with it. That's why I want you to be on high alert to avoid a repeat."

Yun Shishi's heart went out to the boy at that.

Youyou looked up at her forbearing gaze and turned to Alice. "How can we find out about Gong Fan's current condition?"

Alice winced. "What do you mean?"

"As you know, Gong Fan has disappeared for too long. Has he really disappeared, or is he in danger because of what Natalisa did? I want you to help me find him."

Alice listened with some surprise. She said half-jokingly. "Isn't Gong Fan's disappearance good news for you?"

The boy was stunned for a long time after hearing this. He lowered his head and said in a quiet voice, "In the past, I probably thought that if Gong Fan suddenly disappeared without a trace or sound, it would be something to be happy about. At least his departure wouldn't be accompanied by much pain. But now I don't think so."

"Why do you say that?" Alice didn't know if she should ask, but she wanted to know more about how Youyou felt.

The boy was honest. "It doesn't matter if it's him or me. We're all part of each other. Without him, I'm not me. Without me, he's not him. We share the same name, the composition of this miracle. I can't lose him. Mommy can't lose him, either. Yueyao can't lose him, and Little Yichen can't lose him. He's so important. Why did he just disappear?! In the past, I thought he was occupying my body for so long that I couldn't spend more time with Mommy. Now, if he can hear me, I want to say that when he comes back, I'm willing to sacrifice more time. If he wants, I can make Mommy tell him bedtime stories and sing to him every night…" Tears rolled down the boy's cheeks as he spoke.

This was heart-wrenching for Yun Shishi to watch. She hugged him with an aching heart. "Don't be sad, Youyou…"

"How can I not be sad?" The boy tried not to wince. "He left without saying goodbye. No one knows where he went. I call out to him repeatedly every night before I go to bed, but he doesn't seem to hear me either."
