Emily listened to Donna's words in confusion and carefully took the key from her. She looked at the key blankly.
"In addition, Mr. Vincent left you some shares of the Scavo Group, taking five percent of the overall group. Each year's profit will be reported to you by appointed experts. The only thing you need to do is to confirm your gains. Besides, Mr. Vincent wrote down his final words to you in his will. I think it would be better for you to read it yourself." The lawyer handed his will over as he said so.
Emily looked at Donna, not knowing what was happening.
"Go take a look," Donna urged.
Getting her mother's permission, she stretched out her head carefully and took a look. She couldn't understand what was written on it. She turned to Donna for help, "Mom, I don't understand what it means."
Donna pet her head and asked the lawyer, "Can we keep this so that she could read it after she recovers?"
The lawyer took out the photocopy of the will and said, "You're allowed to have this. The original will must be kept by us."
Donna thanked him, then took up the photocopy and handed it to Emily, "Keep it carefully. You could put it in your drawer." After reconsidering, she changed her mind, "Maybe putting it by your bed would be better."
After sending them off, Donna brought Emily to the hospital. After a thorough examination, Donna went to the doctor's office alone. He was the same doctor she saw last time and was called Dr. Johnson.
"A split personality?" Donna stood up in disbelief, "What are you talking about? My daughter can't have a split personality. She is just..."
Dr. Johnson looked at the MRI scan of Emily's head and said, "Calm down. I just supposed that she might have a split personality judging from the symptoms you told me and this examination result. You said that last night she suddenly woke up and spoke to you in a cold manner, so you figured that she had recovered, right? And in the case of split personality, if the patient was originally shy and used to conceal his or her feelings, the new personality might be outgoing which is in the opposite state of the original personality. That could explain why she usually looks obedient but will be particularly cold sometimes. Of course, this is just my hypothesis. If we want to make sure, you'd better take her to run another test when she 'recovers' again. We'll make a more accurate diagnosis with the association of experts in psychiatry."
Donna wanted to retort. But with messy thoughts, she was lost for words.
Dr. Johnson continued, "One more thing, if she really has a multiple personality disorder, her original personality wouldn't know the existence of the other personalities while newly formed personality knows nearly everything about her old personality. So, if she 'recovers', you can make a judgment yourself by asking if she remembers things from the past."
"But," Donna still refused to believe it, "even if she says she remembers, she is just describing her own memory. She is just confused about time. I don't think she has a split personality and I can't believe so."
"The new personality will take the place of the old at the most vulnerable moment of the patient. Next time, you can observe under what kind of circumstances she will 'recover'. This will help you determine if she just has a chaotic memory or if she has a split personality."
" Alright." Donna sat there and said reluctantly.
Dr. Johnson thought for a moment and added, "My current judgment is that her split personality is an illusion caused by both her medical history and the damage to her brain. Her system of memory was hit hard, and her chaotic memories lead to these symptoms."
"You are welcome." Dr. Johnson took out a name card, "If you make sure that her symptoms were caused by split personality. You can contact our psychiatry doctors."
Donna looked at the name card. She wanted to firmly say, "My daughter's mind is absolutely fine." But after hesitating for a while, she took the card and thanked him again.
Outside the office, Emily was sitting on a chair, staring at the lollipop in a little girl's hand who stood next to her.
Donna walked over and held her hand. "Do you want to have some sugar? I will buy it for you."
Emily smiled, ignorantly and purely.
Mixed feelings seized Donna. She was happy to see her smile but was sad for her ill state of mind.
Suddenly, Emily covered her chest with her hands.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" asked Donna anxiously.
Emily touched her chest. She felt a hard object and took it out from her collar. It was a ring hanging on a string.
It was difficult for her to describe her feeling just now. She just felt an impulse of crying. The moment the tears ran down her cheek, she got very confused. As she wiped her tears, she asked Donna, "Mom, I don't know what's wrong. I'm so sad, but I don't know why."
Donna hurriedly wiped her tears with a tissue. She asked her, "Who gave this to you? Would you trust me with it for now?"
Emily reached out to take it off. But soon, she retreated her hands, "There seems to be a dead knot."
Donna took a look. The string wasn't knotted very tight. She observed Emily's expression and asked, "Did you remember something? Is this a gift from someone important?"
Emily shook her head. "No, I didn't. But when I tried to take it off, the same feeling struck me again."
"What kind of feeling?" Donna asked.
Emily wiped away her tears and pouted, "I feel so sad that I almost cry."
