Chapter 1339: Chapter 1336: Lily Gray, How Dare You Show Your Face? (Extra 1)

Professor Marlowe’s research progressed rapidly with the substantial financial support from Aidan Lucas.

“This is a new drug that can temporarily suppress the primary personality and stimulate the secondary one.” For Aidan Lucas, the dominating personality was the primary one, while the sleeping one was the secondary.

A dark pill quietly lay in the palm of Aidan Lucas’s open hand.

He looked at Lily, his almond-shaped eyes cold and unruffled, conveying a heartbreaking calm.

“If I take it, he will appear. The first appearance won’t last long, you two have twenty minutes to pour out your hearts to each other.”

Lily had never thought that Aidan Lucas would actually keep his promise and release the other personality.

She felt excited, yet nervous and worried.

“Will this pill have any adverse effects on you?”

Even if the second personality told her not to be presumptuous, she couldn’t help but care for him.

“If I told you it affects me, would you willingly let him not appear?” The curve of Aidan Lucas’s lips seemed to mock her feigned affection.

Seeing Lily falter, Aidan Lucas knew he had guessed right.

He lowered his gaze, staring at the dark pill in his palm.

Coldness gradually seeped through to the bottom of his eyes.

“Moreover, if it really affects me, and I can never return again… you would probably be happier, wouldn’t you?”

“No, I wouldn’t…” She admitted that her initial approach was indeed purposeful.

But over these days, she had truly come to regard both personalities as the same person.

They were both Aidan Lucas, no difference.

“Heh, I hope your heart is as pleasing as your words,” Aidan Lucas said with a cool, weary smile, his thin lips uttering a few words, “You think too much, the pill has no effect on me.”

Having said that, without waiting for Lily to respond, he tipped his head back and swallowed the dark pill.

Lily watched as sweat beaded on Aidan Lucas’s forehead. He closed his eyes, his brows tightly furrowed, clearly in great pain.

Lily thought of going over to help him sit down, but the moment her hand barely touched Aidan Lucas, he swept it away with his hand.

It was noon, and the warm autumn sunlight was streaming through the large pieces of floor-to-ceiling glass, but inside the study room, Lily felt cold as if it were midwinter.

The vast study room was filled only with Aidan Lucas’s increasingly shallow and rapid breathing.

Lily watched powerlessly as Aidan Lucas’s handsome features contorted, veins bulging on his forehead, and sweat streaming down.

No, no more…

She would rather let things take their natural course than make him take such a pill again, not wanting to see him show such painful and struggling expressions.

Just as Lily decided to rush over and embrace Aidan Lucas, disregarding everything.

The man’s tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.

The fierce brutality faded from those deep almond-shaped eyes.

A hint of surprise flashed through the man’s bottomless black pupils, along with the confusion of just having woken up.

Lily stared at the man in front of her, her face showing an incredulous expression.

Her gaze was firmly fixed on the man’s face, not daring to miss any slight change in his expression.

“Ethan, is that you?”

Hearing that familiar voice, the recently awakened man glanced over.

His cool, indifferent gaze met Lily’s eyes filled with excitement and tension.

Aidan Lucas narrowed his eyes, his thin lips uttering a few indifferent words: “Lily Gray, you have the nerve to show up?”
