Chapter 183 The Real Personality

Sure enough, when Julien saw that Lyra came back, he waved at her and said, "Lyra, come here. This is Dr. Imanov, the internationally renowned professor in psychiatry."

Lyra forced her smile and walked over stiffly.

Dr. Imanov looked at her and stretched out his hand. He then said, "Hi, Ms. Madden. Dr. Finn told me about you. Don’t worry, I'll take good care of you and not let you down."

After that, he winked at her.

Lyra suddenly understood.

Finn managed to bribe this old man and he was now on her side.

He clearly said that he would not let her down.

This meant that even if her acting was bad, he would still go along with her and give her a diagnosis.

When she thought about that, all her worry and anxiety from before disappeared. She suddenly became more relaxed and reached out to shake Dr.

Imanov’s hand. "Okay. I'll thank you in advance."

"You're welcome. Please sit, Ms. Madden." Dr. Imanov withdrew his hand and gestured for her to take a seat.

Julien pulled Lyra's chair out for her.

Lyra smiled at him and sat down.

Dr. Imanov was sitting opposite them both. "President Flint, Ms. Madden, are you both ready? I'll start my consultation now.”

"Lyra?” Julien looked at her.

Lyra nodded. "I'm ready. Dr. Imanov. Let's get started..”

"Alright." Dr. Imanov pushed on his glasses and took out a pocket watch from his lab coat. "Ms. Madden, I’ll hypnotize you and try to wake your alternate personality up. Don't be afraid. Just follow my instructions."

"Okay." Lyra nodded and tightened her hand on Julien’s sleeve, as though she was really afraid.

"Julien, will you keep being here with me?"

She gave him a pleading look.

Since Dr. Imanov was on her side, she was not afraid of Julien being around anymore. Dr. Imanov would not tell him that she had no mental illness whatsoever.

Julien saw the fear in Lyra’s eyes and gave in. He squeezed her hand and said, "I'll be here. I won't go anywhere."

Lyra smiled.

Then, Dr. Imanov started hypnotizing Lyra.

Lyra slowly closed her eyes and leaned against the couch, as though she had fallen asleep.

Julien saw Dr. Imanov kept his pocket watch and studied Lyra intently. Julien was suddenly worried." Dr. Imanov, will hypnosis cause any side effects?"

"Don't worry, President Flint. There won't be any side effects. She'll be awake soon. When she wakes up again, she'll be someone else," Dr. Imanov said.

Julien narrowed his eyes.

Of course, Julien knew that he meant Lyra's alternate personality when he mentioned someone else.

Even till now, he had not met her. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

"Ms. Madden, you can wake up now." Dr. Imanov put his hands next to Lyra's ears and clapped abruptly.

Right away after the clap, Lyra suddenly opened her eyes and sat up.

Julien looked at her, unsure if she was Lyra, or her alternate personality.

After some thought, Julien tried calling her, "Lyra?"

"Mr. Flint, I’m Tina. I gave myself this name." An evil smile appeared on Lyra's face, and her voice was also seductive.

Julien looked at the person in front of him, which was the complete opposite of Lyra. He remained silent.

Lyra stood up and walked to him. "Mr. Flint, we finally met."

Julien frowned and stepped back without saying

anything.

He did not like this alternate personality at all. He despised it.

He could tell that this personality was evil, and he had a strong sense of resentment toward this person. Even he could not tell where this inexplicable feeling was from.

When Lyra saw the resentment in his eyes, the evil smile on her face froze.

When she was "asleep”, she wondered how to act out the alternate personality which did not exist. In the end, she decided to just be herself.

That was right. This was her true self, and her usual self was just an act. However, she did not expect Julien to resent her true self.

Lyra lowered her eyes and tried to suppress her emotions. She then put on her evil smile once again." Mr. Flint, why are you looking at me that way? You're making me sad."

"Why are you targeting Sydney?” Julien could not care less about her words and ask right away.

Lyra became angrier than before.

The first thing he asked was about Sydney.

Did he care that much about Sydney?

"Why?" Lyra smiled. "Because I hate her."

Julien's frown deepened. "Just because of that?"

"Of course, not." Lyra twirled her hair with one hand and said in a wicked tone, "The biggest reason was because she made Lyra very insecure. Lyra was afraid that she might take you away. Even if you promised that this will never happen, Sydney’s existence is a threat to Lyra, and I was created because of that."

She flipped her hair and continued, "My job is to protect Lyra. If Lyra is upset, or feels that you're getting too close to Sydney, I'll appear and give Sydney a lesson."

"A lesson?" Julien's expression was gloomy. "You were trying to kill her!"

"What’s wrong with that?" Lyra put out her hands. "If Sydney is dead, then Lyra will no longer feel threatened. Isn't that great?"

Julien tightened his fists and his expression became gloomier. "Dr. Imanov, wake Lyra up."

He no longer wanted to see this alternate personality. Her malevolence was far from what he had imagined.

He wanted to destroy this personality no matter what.

"Sure, President Flint." Dr Imanov walked forward and gave Lyra a look.

Lyra blinked and cooperatively fell back asleep.

"Dr. Imanov." Julien looked at him. "Is there a way to eliminate Lyra's alternate personality?"

He initially wanted to merge them both. However, after seeing how spiteful the alternate personality was, he came to a realization that combining them was not a great idea. He thought that Lyra’s personality would change if that happened and became spiteful.

Therefore, the best solution he could think of was to eliminate the alternate personality completely.

On the couch, Lyra clenched her fists when she heard him.

Julien wanted to eliminate her.

Although the alternate personality did not exist, Julien believed that she did.

Little did he know that the alternate personality was Lyra's true self.

Dr. Imanov obviously did not expect Julien to say that, either. He swept Lyra a glance at the couch and nodded. "We can, but from the looks of it, Ms.

Madden's alternate personality is already matured and is an independent entity. To eliminate it, we might need some time."

"I understand. Please try your best and get Lyra better," Julien rubbed his eyebrows as he said.

Dr. Imanov nodded with a smile. "I will. I'll wake Ms.Madden up now."

Julien nodded.

Very quickly, Lyra opened her eyes.

She looked around in confusion. When her gaze landed on Julien, she asked, "Julien, I..."

"You were hypnotized.” Julien stretched out his hand and pulled her up.

Lyra touched her forehead and said, "Oh right, I remember. Dr. Imanov wanted to wake my alternate personality up. Julien, did she appear?"
