4315 Chapter 284

Mu Yazhe had instructed them not to wake her. Now that the wound had just been sutured, she finally fell asleep after using an analgesic pump.

Gong Fan couldn't bear to wake her up in any case, so he only watched over her quietly. He took her hand gently and placed his face against it, greedily absorbing the warmth. He wondered if this would be the last time he'd hold her hand.

Now, every second that passed was precious to him.

…

"Why are you packing?" Natalia watched the actor bustle about, puzzled. "Are you going on a trip?"

The actor snapped the packed suitcase shut and replied, "Not me. We."

Natalia was surprised. "We? Are we going somewhere for a holiday?"

"No." Hua Jin didn't know how to explain. Natalia was far too sensitive. If he were to tell her that she needed to return to Hurricane Group for treatment, she'd be repulsed. He was well aware, from experience, that Natalia despised anyone who stayed close to her for the sake of monitoring her.

For example, whether Natalia or Natalisa, neither of them had grown accustomed to Alice. Natalia had solemnly insisted that she was not a patient. Hence Hua Jin did not know how to explain this to the girl.

Natalia just stared at him. Finally, she sighed. "It's because of my health, isn't it?"

"You…" The actor was amazed at her sensitivity. She was more sensitive than he had thought!

"Actually, I know all about it. I'm not like other kids." Looking a little forlorn, Natalia stepped aside. "Apart from the fact that I don't have a mother or father," she said sadly, "I'm well aware that I'm different from other children. Professor Romanka once said there are other personalities inhabiting my body."

Hua Jin said, "You used to hate it when people said you were sick."

"Well, because I don't feel like I'm sick. I feel like they're all after me, and I hate those people."

As he listened, the actor wondered if Natalia was referring to the doctors and nurses at Michel Hospital.

"I hate them. I especially hate being in that unfeeling place. I feel like they're looking at me as though I'm an emotionless corpse," Natalia said, turning to face him with a softer gaze. "But you're different. If you say I'm sick, then I believe I am."

"You're… willing to trust me?" The actor looked incredulous.

Natalia had such a fragile sense of trust. From the first moment he'd seen her, especially when she'd looked at him with extreme trepidation, he knew the child was insecure.

"I know I have a big sister. Her name is Natalisa. The professor told me. But I also know that she's not actually my big sister. Her existence is just another me."

The actor was taken aback to hear this. "What else did the professor tell you?"

"One time, in a dream, I saw someone who looked exactly like me. After that day, I often dreamed of her. I found it strange that she kept appearing in my dreams. Later, I told the professor and he comforted me by saying that it was my sister, Natalisa."
