Married a Secret Billionaire -
Chapter 1329
Lina and Zuko couldn't believe what they heard: "dissociative personality disorder." Zuko was particularly shocked. When he was young, he used to play in Jim's study.
Jim was a mystery writer who often wrote about split personality disorder. Back then, Zuko didn't really understand it, so Jim patiently explained.
"It's a mental disorder where a person sees themselves as different individuals, each with their own personalities, and they do things that don't make sense."
Zuko had thought this only existed in stories. He never expected...
His brows knitted as he remembered the night Albert kidnapped Janine. How could Albert have sneaked a gun into the heavily guarded Hamertons'? Later, they discovered there was a spy involved.
Security footage showed a slim woman acting suspiciously at the event. She wore a hoodie and a hat, making identification difficult. At the time, they suspected it might be Kaitlyn due to her body shape, but they didn't want to jump to conclusions.
They worried that baseless accusations could strain family relations, especially since Toph was engaged to Renee.
Now, it seemed likely that the person was Kaitlyn. Or rather, another personality of Kaitlyn.
Lena paced the courtyard early in the morning, her steps steady and purposeful. Even during her recovery, she never ceased to exercise. She firmly believed that movement was essential for life and quicker healing.
Chris found this theory amusing and exasperating.
Surprisingly, this approach seemed to truly work for Lena. She no longer relied on a crutch and walked with confidence.
The gentle morning light embraced the surroundings. Lena reached the courtyard gate and glanced back, convinced that Chris was still asleep. She departed from the small courtyard with a hint of sadness in her eyes.
Chris heard her leaving and was startled awake from his dream. He hastily put on some clothes and chased after her. Luckily, Lena's pace was moderate, eventually allowing him to catch up. Yet, he made sure to keep his distance, staying unnoticed.
Initially, he worried she might leave without a word. In recent days, Lena had been resolute about returning to Centrolis to guard someone dear to her.
Chris always used her injury as an excuse to refuse, but he had selfish reasons in reality-he was even a little jealous of Lina.
Despite that, Lena had left without any luggage, suggesting a long journey. Moreover, Centrolis was to the east, while Lena was walking north.
Chris remained vigilant, unable to relax. As they walked north, the population thinned out. Just as he was pondering this, Lena suddenly found an open space. She knelt down, facing north, with a thud. With wide-open eyes, Chris hid behind a tree.
Lena stared at the distant sky, tears streaming down her face. Starting with silent tears, her weeping grew more audible until she eventually collapsed on the ground, wailing loudly...
Each sob tore at Chris' heart. This was a girl who never cried, not even when she was seriously hurt. She maintained such a cold gaze that kept people at bay. Yet, there she was, breaking down.
He had no idea what had transpired. In his memory, their time in the village had been happy and harmonious. He couldn't comprehend why.
Chris emerged from hiding, rushing over to support her shoulders.
Lena was surprised. She looked up into his warm eyes, trying to speak, but no words came out.
"Why are you crying alone here?" Chris asked gently, "What's wrong?"
Sniffling, Lena lowered her gaze.
