Chapter 414 That Her Is...
"And the real her..." Ou Jue’s voice paused briefly, his gaze shadowed with ambiguity.The next second, his brows furrowed slightly as he started coughing heavily.
The fire spread rapidly. Even if Ou Jue could temporarily avoid the devouring flames, he could not resist the billowing smoke.
Xia Xiyan’s heart was in her throat, nervously clutching her phone, surrounded by the overwhelming blaze, shaking her head desperately while choking out, "Stop talking, Ou Jue. Please, don’t speak anymore. Save your strength. The firefighters will rescue you soon!"
She kept repeating this to comfort herself.
The firefighters would find the right moment to rush in and save Ou Jue.
Ou Jue would make it out safely. He definitely would.
But such prayers were fragile and powerless in the face of reality.
The fire had long since spiraled out of control, and the entrance to the old house was completely engulfed in flames.
"Let me speak." Ou Jue’s voice remained unwavering, as if he were entirely unaffected by panic.
Even amidst such dire circumstances, even as he faced the imminence of death, he exuded an extraordinary calmness beyond his years.
In Ou Jue’s eyes, as dark as ink, emotions rippled with complexity. "If I don’t say it now, I fear I won’t have the chance to say it ever again."
"I admit, the one in the hospital—she’s the only woman in this world, aside from you, that I care about deeply."
"That woman is my mother."
"Your friend might have merely discovered my frequent visits to Ronghua Hospital to see a woman without investigating further. That seemingly impossibly young woman—is my mom."
"Because of the car accident six years ago, my father lost his life. My mother barely survived, but..."
"It triggered her second personality."
"Just like how you’ve seen Ou Xiaoluo before, her emotions become easily agitated—completely like a mentally ill person, deranged and uncontrollable."
"Extreme, obsessive, self-harming, maniacal."
"These are all the epitomes of that personality."
"Over the years, my grandmother and I sought out countless renowned doctors, but to no avail. There’s been no progress whatsoever."
"Until recently, we invited a world-famous neurologist from Country S."
"The other day, when I told you I couldn’t leave the hospital, it was because I was cooperating with the doctor for her treatment."
Xia Xiyan’s pupils dilated, her expression wooden as she listened to Ou Jue’s words.
She had imagined countless possibilities about who that "her" at the hospital could be.
Perhaps Ou Jue’s first love, perhaps a childhood sweetheart, perhaps...
But she never thought it would be Ou Jue’s mother.
And Luoluo’s dual personality—was inherited from their mother...
Ou Jue’s expression remained faint, his gaze lowered. His long lashes cast a soft shadow. "It’s a terrifying hereditary disorder. Ou Xiaoluo is proof of it."
"Six years ago, I was thirteen. When my classmates at school found out my mother was mentally ill, everyone avoided me. No one dared to provoke me."
"They avoided me because they were afraid of me."
At this point, a hint of mockery flashed across Ou Jue’s handsome face. "But I understood, at such a naive age, the reason they feared me had nothing to do with the Ou Family’s power or status. They were afraid I would be like my mother, that her second personality would awaken in me—leading to uncontrollable madness."
"Two years ago, when Ou Xiaoluo was four, he experienced his first awakened second personality. Xia Xiyan, do you know why?"
