His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 774

Chapter 774 - The Real Me

Although Iris’ current physical condition looked worrisome, her shocking words completely stunned Jin Liwei until he stood there like a frozen statue with eyes and mouth wide open. He was unable to insist on taking her to the hospital.

She was still trembling a little but looked more steady now compared to when she couldn’t stop crying earlier. It seemed that she had hit her stride once she started talking.

"Long Xiulan died during that car crash, the teenage pop singer Long Xiulan who used to chase Brother Chonglin around back then. The Long Xiulan you looked down on before meeting her in person and helped conceal the truth of her deadly car accident in order to protect your younger brother and his then fiancée, Fan Luo."

The frozen Jin Liwei finally showed some movements. He twitched at the mention of his past sin. Then he frowned and became pensive as her words registered in his mind.

She cleared her throat and licked her lips because her mouth was feeling dry. Despite this, she didn’t dare take a water break. The need to tell him the truth felt more urgent—not the whole truth but the part about her at least. He deserved to know that much.

"It was only her body that was kept alive when she was in coma. Only her memories remained but the actual Long Xiulan was already gone. When she woke up—no, when I woke up, I became Long Xiulan."

His frown deepened and his eyes reflected his disbelief. However, underneath the disbelief was a slow realization as if he was finally beginning to piece together a difficult and complicated puzzle.

She pressed a hand on her chest and looked at him with as much steadiness as she could muster at the moment. "Long Xiulan and I were two completely different people. Then we...we both died. For some reason, I was able to live again after my death but I’m not myself anymore. I became another person who already lived her own life before I...before I..." A furrow formed between her brows as she struggled to find a suitable word. "Before I replaced her."

Silence.

Jin Liwei looked at her up and down with a deep gaze that made her feel like it was piercing straight to her soul. Her heart was hammering inside her chest that it was difficult for her to match it with her breathing. She recognized it as an onset of a panic attack but strangely enough, her mind was feeling clearer by the second after she started talking even as her body was trying to collapse. It was such an odd sensation but she would take it any time over the crying mess that she had been earlier.

"So you’re telling me..." Jin Liwei finally spoke again. His tone was careful and measured. "You’re telling me that you’re not the real Long Xiulan. That you were a completely different person before you woke up as her."

She nodded.

"You’re Evelinka...Evelina?"

She couldn’t help but smile when he called her name. Her real name. It was a small, bittersweet smile. "Yes. I am Evelina."

"The person I met in the hotel lobby back then..."

"It was me."

"The person who measured my penis..."

Her mouth twitched before she pointed a finger at herself.

"The person I fell in love with..."
