Chapter 728

Chapter 728Since Cooper figured he should not leave Nathalia unattended, he asked Rosa to make a room for him
as well.
Once the guest room was ready, Cooper checked the place before calling Armand to tell him about
what had happened that day.
They talked for about two hours over the phone until Cooper felt exhausted.
Seeing that Armand did not respond, he took a sip of water to moisturize his throat. “Jack choked
Genev twice out of anger in the hospital the day before,” Cooper added.
“Bring Genev to see Timothy tomorrow. Let's see what he says,” Armand replied calmly.
Cooper sighed in helplessness. “But Timothy is a brain surgeon. What Genev needs now is a
psychiatrist. She has dissociative identity disorder. How are these two anything alike?”
Armand was silent for a moment. “I'll give him a call in a bit.”
After breakfast the next day, Cooper asked Nathalia to go to the hospital with him, saying that she did
not look good.
Nathalia knew what he was trying to do. “Cooper, it's not gonna work. It's useless even if you get the
best psychiatrist in the world, so why waste your time and energy?” she uttered with a smile, toying
with his car key.
Cooper ignored her. When Timothy received Armand's call the night before, he thought Armand was trying to pull his leg.
However, when he finally saw it for himself after taking leave from work the next morning, he arranged
for the most experienced psychiatrist he knew to look into this case.
After they went into the consultation room, Nathalia sat on the couch and folded her long legs. “You
guys don't have to eavesdrop from the next room. Y'all can just stay here and see for yourselves what
happens,” she ordered, pointing at the two men.
She looked around at the devices in the room before turning toward the old and retired doctor. “I'd like
to try the galvanometer.”
“Sure,” the doctor agreed.
He asked her to take off her shoes and socks and went on to check if she had anything else on her
before connecting the sensor to her body. It was as if he was afraid that she would cheat on the lie
detector test.
Nathalia sat casually on the couch as she answered all the questions the doctor asked.
The doctor initially thought he would be able to talk Nathalia into putting down her guard, but he ended
up opening up to her instead.
This patient was more intractable than he imagined.
Nathalia flashed the two men a victorious smile. “So, you guys still want Genevieve back? Over my
dead body,” she announced, her lips curving provocatively. Despite how casually she spoke, everyone was aware of the severity of the matter. If Nathalia died,
Genevieve would die as well.
The woman stretched her body. “Have fun talking. I'll go get some water.”
The three men looked at each other for a while before Timothy licked his lower lip and spoke first. “Is
she roleplaying?”
“What do you think?” Cooper asked with a scoff.
Timothy shrugged.
Since Armand's acting had been so good that Timothy had not realized a thing, Timothy thought
Genevieve could actually be doing the same.
Knock knock! The door opened, and a nurse entered to pass a document to Cooper.
The man quickly read through it, and his face fell. “Genev's mother delivered her child at General
Hospital, and her records show that she was indeed pregnant with identical twins. The two shared a
placenta. The elder sister started feeding on the younger for nutrients until the other vanished.”
“This is even scarier than an alter that appears because of traumatic and uncontrollable events. I've
seen patients like that before,” the elderly doctor said in a serious tone.
Cooper stared at the doctor when he sensed things were going down south. He finally gathered the
courage to ask, “Could you tell us more about it?” The doctor looked up, trying to recall the distant past. “The case was about identical twin brothers. Both
the fetuses were already developing limbs when the younger one started growing faster and stronger,
taking up more space. The younger brother eventually devoured his brother for survival. Later on, the
younger brother had a traumatic encounter and accidentally woke the elder brother up. At first, the
patient still had control. He kept telling me that he would forget things that he was sure he had done.
That went on until his deceased brother manifested one day.”
