Wanting to spend quality time with his wife, Alexander did not expect to bump into the two people when
they arrived at the hotel.
As they had made a reservation beforehand, the dishes were served quickly after they were seated,
and they ate quietly as if they were hungry.
However, they were not gobbling up the food. After a moment of silence, Lily asked despite herself,
“Don’t you feel that there’s something off about Ms. Riggs just now?”
“You felt it too?” Alexander looked up at her, not surprised by her observation.
‘It’s not odd that she shares my thought, as she has an observant eye. What’s bizarre is that Ms. Riggs
was somewhat different than what she used to be.’
“So I didn’t get the wrong impression.”
Having her observation confirmed by him, Lily nodded.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSince she was not close to Heather and had never met her before, she assumed she was imagining
things. However, since Alexander agreed with her, then the woman was indeed different.
“She did not have that threatening air about her.” After giving it some thought, Lily continued, "It has
nothing to do with her starting the sneak attack. You know, kickboxers exude a certain type of air. "It's
difficult to put into words, but I could tell she lost it."
“I felt it too.” Nodding, Alexander agreed.
‘No matter how hard a kickboxer tries to hide such air, they would reveal it somehow. Besides, she was
not even trying to hide it. She simply did not have it.’
“She looked afraid when you got near her just now. This was not like her at all.”
‘The Heather that everyone has heard about is fearlessly arrogant. Even though she tried to act cold
just now, we can still tell she was afraid.’
Alexander had wondered if she was scared because she had been wounded by him, but it did not
seem so.
“Could it be that Ms. Riggs has a twin?” Lily thought for a moment and voiced her suspicion. “I mean
someone who looks like her?”
Alexander had thought about it as well, but he shook his head. “Not likely.”
"Despite spending a lot of time alone, the Riggs family has maintained ties with the outside world. No
one has heard that Ms. Riggs has a sister, and being the only child, her parents gave her everything
and took her everywhere.
“I heard that after she was nearly kidnapped when she was young, they treasured her even more and
she stayed on the island until she came of age. Heather was only allowed to leave when her kickboxing
skills improved significantly.”
The Russell family was resourceful enough to have garnered information like this.
“If she has a twin sister, we would all know about it. However, no one has talked about it at all.” Shaking
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhis head, he rejected the possibility. “However, there is a type of illness that can explain the mystery.”
He stopped and looked at Lily.
Lily caught on to what he was trying to say. “You meant dissociative identity disorder?”
Nodding, he continued, “There have been many cases like this. A kind-hearted person with that
disorder could become violent and cruel, while a weak one who often gets bullied might turn into
someone tough and powerful to protect him or herself. Don’t you think Heather belongs to the later
type?”
Taking a sip of orange juice, Lily thought about it seriously but felt something was not right.
“How would I know? I’m not close to her.” Her elbows on the table, she propped her chin on her folded
hands and looked at him smilingly. “You’ve interacted with Ms. Riggs more often than me. Which type
do you think she belongs to?”
She winked mischievously.
