4346 The Other Side 315

"For now, let's put Natalia's matter aside." Alice paused and leaned closer to him. She lowered her voice and asked solemnly, "Is there really no other way?"

"What? I don't understand what you mean."

"Although you may not be famliar with Youyou's situation, I've mentioned him to you before. But…"

"Oh, I understand now. You're asking me to join you in coming up with a cure for the boy."

"Uh huh…"

"But you don't seem to trust me very much. You see, you've never even shown me the boy's detailed medical report." Romanka looked at her calmly, probing.

Alice took a deep breath. "There's no way I'm going to show you the boy's medical report," she said firmly.

Instead of getting angry, Romanka laughed. "Look, if you're not willing to tell me about his health situation, how can I collaborate with you on a treatment?"

"Given what you've said, it seems you'll be able to come up with an appropriate treatment plan even if you don't know his health situation!" Alice obviously trusted Romanka's strength.

Romanka laughed out loud, however. "What do you take me for? A god? You're a doctor yourself. Don't you think it's unreasonable to say such a thing?" Romanka paused, then said, "If a doctor doesn't understand the patient's situation, he can't come up with an appropriate treatment plan at all! Moreover, the field of multiple personalities is still fraught with difficulties. Conversely, even if we had complete medical records, it doesn't mean we'll be able to come up with a perfect treatment plan."

Agitated, Alice sat up straight. "I can't put it off any longer! If I can't come up with a perfect treatment plan, then I'll have to destroy every personality apart from the primary personality, by hypnosis."

"Oh?" Romanka, on the other hand, became interested and caught the point. "All personalities other than the primary? Does that mean he's already spawned a third personality or more?"

Alice had not expected him to be so sharp as to grasp the point at once.

"You sound as if you're in a hurry. As if the boy's condition is now beyond repair?" Romanka studied her expression as he spoke. When he finished, he suddenly smiled. "It doesn't seem as bad as I first thought. After all, you're still unwilling to let me have Youyou's medical records. It doesn't look that pessimistic."

Exasperated, Alice had no choice but to say frankly, "I really have no choice. After all, I'm not the authority in this field, but you are! Right now, I want to save both Gong Fan and Youyou! However, something has happened recently."

"What happened?" Romanka pressed curiously.

"For unknown reason, he had made an assassination attempt."

Even Romanka, who's a veteran, frowned at this.

No longer bothering to guard against him, Alice recounted the events of that day to him in detail.

Romanka listened and was silent for a moment. Then he said immediately, "It seems he's gone through a second split."

"A second split?"

"Under a certain condition in the split personality disorder, a single personality can split into two, and two personalities into four, and so on. As for how many times this can take place, there's no detailed record to-date."
