Chapter 608
She and Duke had only recently gotten married, and their relationship was not close enough for her to recognize his underwear at sight
Adina lost herself in thought while taking a shower, and when she got out of the bathroom, the man who had been smoking on the balcony was gone.
As soon as she opened the bedroom door and walked out of it, she saw Mrs. Winters pacing anxiously in the living room.
“Addy, Duke suddenly had some things to take care of at the company, so he just left,” Mrs. Winters hurriedly explained. “I‘ll scold him for you when he gets back. It‘s late now. Hurry and get some rest.”
Adina nodded and smiled as she said, “You rest early too, Mom.”
She went back to her room, locked the door, and made a call.
“Pete, can I ask you some questions about psychological conditions?”
“Are you having nightmares again, Addy?”
Pete was Adina‘s overseas personal psychiatrist. She had nightmares every night while she was abroad because she believed her two children were dead.
For four long years, she had to visit Pete‘s clinic once a week for treatment and consultation.
Adina shook her head and said, “I‘ve recovered already, but I have a friend. He usually looks gentle and elegant, and is the kind of person who is easy to get along with, but recently, he seems to have changed. Not only in the way he speaks or behaves, even the details of his daily habits have changed. Could you perhaps explain it to me from a psychological point of view, Pete?”
After a silence on the other end of the line, he continued,” There‘s a saying in Cairnstan, stating that a leopard can‘t change its spots. In other words, it‘s very difficult to change someone‘s personality, and it‘s quite impossible to do it in such a short amount of time. So, there‘s only one possibility.”
“What kind of possibility?”
“He may be experiencing multiple personality disorder .” Pete said in a serious tone, “In which there are two personalities hidden in a person‘s body, the main personality is the side they would display more often, and the secondary personality is the side that would rarely appear. When you feel like the person has changed, then it should be because his secondary personality has taken over his consciousness.”
Adina‘s eyes widened in disbelief. “What causes might lead a person to develop multiple personality disorder?”
