“This has to do with her personality,” the doctor explained. “Ms. Rachford probably knew she had a younger sister and that she ate her up while they were both still in their mother's womb. This constantly haunted her and pushed her into guilt. At some point, she started thinking that maybe things would have been better if her sister were still alive. Eventually, an identity with its own independent mind developed in Ms. Rachford, manifesting itself as her younger sister.”

At that, Cooper felt his head throbbing. He massaged his temples, trying to process what he had just heard.

Jack glanced at Cooper shortly and then looked at the surveillance camera. After a short pause, he asked, “Is there a way to do away with this personality?”

“We need to find the weakness of this alter and force her to leave for good,” the doctor advised. “I've tried leading her into a trap a few times, but she's extremely smart. I ended up being played every time.”

Jack's face darkened. He went into the consultation room and choked Nathalia, pushing her against the one-seater couch.

His eyes glimmered with murderous intent as he fixated his hostile gaze on her.

Despite Jack tightening his grip around her neck until she began to suffocate, Nathalia showed no signs of fear. On the contrary, she laughed.

“S-She will die... if I die...” she choked out. “She's n-not coming... back.”

Cooper rushed into the room. When he saw Nathalia gasping as her face turned purple, he dashed over and punched Jack away.

Nathalia slumped to the ground, unconscious. The angry finger marks appeared more obvious because of her fair skin.

When Cooper saw that, he glared back at Jack coldly. “The alter ego might have a mind of her own, but she lives in Genev's body. Do you know you almost killed Genev?”

Then, Cooper brought her back to the ward and applied some medication to her neck.

After some time, Jack finally came into the same room. “Did her mother really have twins when she was pregnant?” he asked, narrowing his eyes as he looked at the unconscious woman.

Dissociative identity disorder was not uncommon.

This was especially true if the patient had experienced traumatic events or was triggered. A different personality with independent thinking could develop when a person's consciousness was weak. That was when this other consciousness would take over to ensure the body continued functioning normally.

Despite knowing this, Jack still could not bring himself to believe that this was happening to Genevieve. He would rather believe that Genevieve was putting up an act just to trick him, but reality had proven him wrong.

Her demeanor and behavior after she woke up that morning were completely different from Genevieve's.

Even a born actress would need time and training to get into a new role, but Genevieve was no actress.

Some thirty minutes passed, and “Genevieve” finally woke up.

Jack had stayed by the bed all that while. When he saw that she was about to wake up, he stared at her, hoping that Genevieve would return, but her gaze and the vibe she gave off were exactly the same as when she woke up that morning. Despite being weak after the attack, her lips still looked as red as roses.
