“Stop kidding.”
Ivan replied coldly. It was the first time Ivan got in touch with this particular personality. He didn’t
believe in anything she said.
Furthermore, Ivan didn’t want to do it.
It was the same body, and it was a personality split from Emilia’s main personality. Ivan just can’t do it.
“Do you know that she’s suffering right now? You can’t sacrifice even a little for her? We shared the
same body. So, what’s your concern? You all are funny. I’m Emilia too! I’m just a painful side of her.
She didn’t dare to fall in love, so she put her desire to fall in love on me. I like you, and this is what
Emilia is feeling. Why can’t you accept me?”
Emilia said pitifully. Ivan sighed.
“I can’t be sure if she’s going to be happy about it or not. I mean, at least I’m uncertain about how
Emelia really feels. I’m afraid that she won’t be happy when she wakes up.”
“But we’re the same person. Why did you only love her, but not me? Shouldn’t you like everything
about a person you love? Do you want her to keep living in pain and never wake up? Let me tell you
what. If you don’t try to wake up her now, the suicidal personality might come back when the time I
couldn’t take over. Then, Emilia might not be able to come back for a long time. Are you sure you want
to give this opportunity up?”
Ivan became quiet after hearing what Emilia said. He didn’t know what to do.
If Emilia’s body was taken over by the little girl he has seen before, and she was the one who got
drugged, Ivan wouldn’t have the courage to do anything with her.
Sometimes, some decisions Ivan made wasn’t because he didn’t love the other personality of Emilia.
Ivan felt like those personalities portrayed only a part of how Emilia really felt. He can’t define Emilia’s
true will just by that.
Ivan didn’t want to do it.
“If you’re the personality Emilia spilt to take the risk for love then it proves that she wasn’t ready to be
with me. I will respect her decision before she made up her mind, even if she decided that she didn’t
want to be with me just because she was scared. I won’t do anything to you.”
“You two are ridiculous.”
Emilia laughed mockingly.
“I will let her out if you just kiss me. It is not a betrayal. It is not even about whether you respect her will
or not. Furthermore, she won’t know what happened between us after she wakes up.”
“My answer is still ‘no’.”
Emilia got mad as she heard Ivan’s answer. She suddenly rushed to the exit and opened the door.
Other than Zac, there was a bodyguard at the door.
Without hesitation, Emilia tip-toed and hugged the bodyguard. Ivan immediately grasped her arm when
she was about to kiss the bodyguard.
“What are you doing? I’ve told you that I disagree with it. Other than this, I can give you whatever you
want.”
“Let go of me. Since you won’t do as I say, then I should go and find some other guys to play with as
well. I’ll tell you what. I’ll mess around and release my desire. It’s my body now. I can do whatever I
want. You have no right to stop me. Furthermore, It was you who threw away the opportunity I gave.”
Emilia then shook Ivan’s hand away and was ready to kiss the bodyguard again. The bodyguard was
terrified.
This time, Ivan pulled Emilia away even hard and started walking into the room. The bodyguard quickly
helped Ivan to send Emilia into the room as well.
The door shut, and Emilia stomped her feet out of anger.
“Why did you stop me? Yes, I might be one of Emilia’s personalities, but I don’t belong to her. I have my
right. My first choice was you because I like you, but you kicked me away. Now, move, or I’ll commit
suicide just like other personalities. Jump from a building, or cut my wrist. Whatever. Dare to try?”
“I’m sorry.”
Ivan knocked Emilia out without hesitation.
Then, Emilia closed her eyes and fell into Ivan’s arms.
Ivan carried Emilia and sent her to her bed, then tucked her in.
“Emilia, I wasn’t sure if you’re going to be angry or not for treating you like this. I just can’t let her torture
your body. You should wake up. I’m by your side. Don’t care about Oscar anymore. He doesn’t deserve
to be your father. Even if you don’t accept me, you’ll still have your friends and family. They are going to
care about you and protect you. You’re not alone.”
The moment Ivan finished his sentence, he saw a drop of tears roll down Emilia’s cheek. Ivan got
stunned. Then, he grasped Emilia’s hands in excitement.
“Emilia, did you hear me? Wake up. Don’t fall into slumber anymore. Everything is going to be alright.”
“I know that you have your pain, and I’m never going to truly understand that. But I can protect and
respect you. Wake up. You’re scaring me. I’m worried.”
However, Emilia didn’t wake up. Even Ivan didn’t know what was the reason Emilia cried.
Was it because of what Ivan said or was there something in her dream that made her sad?
Ivan kept talking to Emilia beside the bed. However, Emilia remained slumber as if she couldn’t hear
anything Ivan said.
On the other side, Georgia finally got in touch with Kayden.
Kayden couldn’t stay conscious for long, so it wasn’t an easy task for both sides to get in touch with
each other.
Georgia set up an emergency ringtone for her phone. When Georgia heard the ringtone in the middle
of the night, she quickly grabbed her phone and entered the room beside her bedroom.
After a while, Georgia saw Robert walk in with a jacket and cover it on Georgia’s shoulder. At the same
time, Kayden showed his face in the video call.
Kayden seemed to lose quite some weight, and her jawline was obvious. She seemed pale even in
front of the camera.
“How long can we talk?”
Georgia threw a question. Kayden smiled weakly.
“I’m not sure. Sometimes I’ll be awake for a few hours, and sometimes it’s just a few minutes. It
depends. They said you have something to tell me. Well, spill it when I’m still awake. If you can’t finish
this time, then save it for the next time I wake up.”
“Your research here made great progress. I haven’t told you that, in fact, my cousin brother, Aston,
participated in the project. He knew about your condition, so he participated in the research. Aston
used to be so down, and I couldn’t stand it. So, I told him part of the truth. Aston then changed. He
didn’t blame you for hiding the truth from him, and he no longer complain. Instead, he aggressively
participated in all the experiments in the lab every day.”
“Aston wanted to cure you. His team made a progress recently, and you’re getting better. So, Aston
asked me for a favour to come to see you. I had to seek your permission about this. If you agree with it,
then I’ll set up a meeting for you two. If you rejected him, I’ll respect your decision.”
Kayden chuckled gently after she heard what Georgia said.
“Is Aston alright? He’s going to fall sick if he stays in the lab for most of the time for experiments. He
should rest. Don’t run around. I’m getting better.”
“Aston no longer work like how he used to be anymore. He won’t work all day. He would go to bed and
take his food on time. Also, Aston never smokes or drinks. He’ll continue his research with his team
whenever he has time. He became calmer now too. Kayden, Aston is more mature now. He accepted
what happened between you two. Aston told me that he only wanted to cure you and meet you. Would
you say yes?”
