Chapter 4212: The Other Side 181
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas StudiosBy this time, Natalia had been patiently coaxed by Hua Jin into taking her medicine. Because of the effects of the drug, she had been lying down on the bed to rest.
Alice walked into the villa and saw Hua Jin sitting at the edge of the bed with a grave expression. He looked at Natalia, his distress obvious.
“What’s going on?” Alice stuffed her hands into the pockets of her windbreaker and walked over to the bed. She glanced at Natalia and frowned slightly. “What’s the matter with her?” she asked.
“Shhhh.” The actor motioned towards the door and silently mouthed the words to Alice, “She’s asleep. Let’s talk outside.”
Alice nodded and walked out the door. The actor instructed the twins to keep an eye on Natalia in her room and walked out after Alice.
!!Alice lit a cigarette and stood by the sofa. “She’s had a situation, hasn’t she?” she asked quietly.
Nodding, the actor sat down on the sofa. “Does Natalia have a big sister?” he asked hesitantly.
Alice whirled around, her eyes narrowing suspiciously. “Big sister?”
“Yeah, well. She said her sister’s name is Natalisa.”
“Natalisa?” Alice’s expression grew grave. She looked at him. For a moment, a million thoughts ran through her mind. She wanted to say something, but she stopped herself several times.
Yun Shishi poured out two cups of tea and served them up. Looking at Alice, she said hesitantly, “Alice, I think we’ve discovered Natalia’s second personality. But we’ve also discovered some tricky stuff.”
“What kind of tricky stuff?”
Yun Shishi turned to the actor. Hua Jin got onto his feet, opened a drawer in a cabinet, and took out a crystal ball from it.
Alice was shocked when she saw the crystal ball.
Hua Jin had mentioned this crystal ball to her previously. Now that she saw the actual object, she was even more certain that it was an auxiliary prop used by hypnotists.
Surprised, Alice asked, “Did you steal this thing from Natalia?”
“On the day I was packing for our trip, she kept holding on to this crystal ball, refusing to speak. I had offered to safe-keep it for her, but she didn’t seem willing to hand it over to me. However, eventually we had to check it in along with the luggage because it was a fragile item. so I had an excuse to place the crystal ball in the suitcase. When we arrived in Saipan, I lied to her and told her that the crystal ball had been accidentally lost in transit.”
Alice listened, then asked suspiciously, ‘She was upset?’
“No.”
“Then…”
“She was agitated and restless, she didn’t sleep well throughout the night.”
“…” Alice frowned. Something was odd..
Hua Jin said solemnly, “From my observations, I’ve come to realize that in addition to being inseparable from this crystal ball, Natalia has one more distinguishing feature.”
“What distinguishing feature?”
“That is, she can’t be without this crystal ball. Otherwise, other than being anxious, she’ll have trouble sleeping. Last night, she fell asleep really late. When she woke up in the morning, I found that she had suddenly developed a fever.”
“A fever?”
“Uh huh.” The actor added, “Over 39 degrees.”
“That high?”
“I had the family doctor over before, but he said it was just a superficial fever.”
“Superficial fever?”
Yun Shishi, too, was surprised to hear this term being used.
The actor had not told her about this earlier.
