Youyou looked even more somber as he said, âMore accurately, itâs not that heâs preparing to do it. Rather, he has already done it.â
ââ¦â
Hua Jin was stunned. âCan personalities be created just like that?â
He had always thought that split personalities were either a result of environmental influence or a genetic trait. Heâd never heard that it could be cultivated by humans. Someone actually used such a young child to carry out this sort of unorthodox experiment! In the past, he looked up to scientists because he felt that scientists had contributed a lot to humanity. But now hearing this, Hua Jin felt a chill run down his spine!
It was too⦠terrifying!
!!
âA split personality is an extremely painful thing! How could he do that?â
âMost likely itâs because an adopted child has no blood relation. Therefore, he doesnât cherish her at all. He isnât worthy of being Nataliaâs fatherâ¦â
âThatâs whyâ¦â The actor looked at Gong Jie, suddenly seeing him in a new light. âSo he managed to take over the custody of Natalia?â
âYeah. Uncleâs taken over custody of Natalia, but, as you know, he works and canât have Natalia around him all the time given how dangerous his job is. So, when necessary, someone needs to take care of her. Youâd be perfect for that.â
âWhy?â He pointed at himself, surprised. âWhy me? Iâm busy at work, too!â
âBecause Uncle Hua Jin is very gentle!â The boyâs eyes narrowed as he smiled. âYouâre so gentle with me, youâll be just as gentle with Natalia! Iâm sure youâll treat her well!â
The actorâs heart warmed at that. He hadnât expected the boy to think of him that way.
âDonât worry, Iâll definitely take good care of her!â
The boy raised his hand and stuck out his pinkie. âWell, thatâs a deal!â
âUh huh!â The actor approached Natalia and lowered himself gently so that he was looking into her eye. âFrom now on, Natalia, will you call me âDaddyâ?â
âEh? Daddy?â
Natalia blinked her pretty eyes at him and then at Gong Jie. Her long lashes fluttered like butterfly wings, so that his heart melted at the sight! He couldnât help thinking how nice it would be if this little girl before him was his very own daughter! Then again, if she were his daughter and took after him, sheâd be very pretty, too.
âDaddy?â
âUh huh!â He squeezed her tiny hand. âStop calling me âuncleâ. How about calling me âDaddyâ?â
But Natalia laughed and said, âI have two daddies?â
The actor was equally taken aback by her remark. How could he have forgotten that Natalia already had Gong Jie as her father!
âCan I call you Mommy?â Natalia suddenly asked.
Hua Jin was instantly shocked and muttered, âWhy would you do that?â
âBecauseâ¦â Nataliaâs answer would completely stump the actor.
âBecause⦠youâre prettier than a flower! And you donât look like a man.â
âHahaha!â Youyou burst out laughing!
Even Gong Jie, who usually wore a poker face, found himself smiling when he heard this. However, he held back his laughter.
