Gong Fan looked at Natalia intently, deeply attracted by her purple eyes. He’d never seen anyone with purple eyes. She was breathtakingly beautiful.
The boy couldn’t help being stunned by her.
Natalia froze, too. She recognized the child before her at once. It might be Youyou’s body, but it was not Youyou.
She recalled hearing that the boy had a split personality.
Natalia studied Gong Fan’s unfamiliar expression and pouted slightly. “You’re ‘him’, aren’t you?”
Gong Fan was stunned and didn’t understand what she meant.
Natalia reminded him, “What … is your name?”
“Gong…”
“Gong Fan?”
Gong Fan turned ashen. “How do you know my name?”
Natalia looked pleased. “I’ve heard Auntie Alice mention you. One Gong Fan and one Youyou.”
Seeing that he had been exposed, Gong Fan said indifferently, “Yes, it’s me…”
“I see!” Natalia turned her back on him and closed her eyes. She too had decided to tell him her secret.
“Actually … I’m just like you.”
Gong Fan was stunned for a moment before he quickly understood what she meant. “You too…”
“Uh huh. I have a sister who looks just like me, and her name is Natalisa. I’ve always been afraid of her, though.”
“Why?”
“She’s evil.” Natalia frowned, looking very grim. “She… would hurt me and others. That’s why I’m afraid of her. But it seems she lives inside me and I can’t get rid of her.”
When Gong Fan heard this, he opened his mouth to speak, but hesitated and fell silent again. He had actually wanted to ask Natalia and Natalisa, exactly who was the primary personality and who was the secondary personality.
However, he almost asked but eventually did not.
“Sometimes I see her in my dreams, just standing there, smiling coldly at me, and I’m fear-stricken and can’t move. That’s when I wake up in a cold sweat.”
Gong Fan listened attentively. Only he could fit into her world. Because he understood the world of split personalities.
Natalia turned around with her hands clasped behind her back, looking as pretty as a doll in her dress. “But sometimes I sleep. When I do, it’s always for a long time. I’m obviously conscious and grateful, but my eyes are closed. I can’t keep them open no matter how hard I try.”
Gong Fan also felt the same way. “I do that sometimes.”
“I’ll sleep for a long time. And no matter how hard I try to open my eyes, there’s just darkness all around me.” Natalia’s voice suddenly turned cold as she spoke. “It feels like death.”
Gong Fan’s body stiffened. Indeed, this feeling was no different from that of a walking corpse.
“Do you know…” Natalia asked him, “I’ve undergone electric shock therapy.”
“Electric shock therapy!?” Gong Fan realized that the “shock therapy” she was talking about was the crazy treatment plan that Yun Shishi had unintentionally mentioned.
Electric shocks was a painful method.
“I know. Romanka is trying to get Natalisa out of my body, but Natalisa is always hiding inside me. The pain can only be borne by me.”
Natalya closed her eyes, her vision replaying that nightmare.
