“You…”
Davin was fuming. Do our horoscopes clash? Why else will Kyle throw a tantrum whenever he sees me?
“Well, what are you waiting for?” Kyle growled.
Davin snorted, “I’m not leaving! I’m staying here and taking care of you, as an uncle should!”
Take care of me? Hmph, I don’t need anyone to take care of me!
Kyle simply ignored him and looked out the window. In the next moment, a shocked expression flashed across his icy glare.
Juan was winking at him from outside the window.
Kyle was stunned. Did Juan sneak in?
Is he here to visit me?
When Davin saw that Kyle refused to face him, he decided to brew a pot of tea and nag at him slowly.
The moment he exited the room, there was a click and the door was locked.
Davin simply chuckled. I have the spare key, my dear nephew. Lock the door for all I care!
He laughed as he imagined the look on Kyle’s face when he reentered the room holding a pot of tea.
Davin decided to confront Kyle in this manner and felt that he would eventually get through to him.
“Butler, brew me a pot of tea!”
“As you wish, Mr. Seet.”
When he reentered the room, he saw “Kyle” buttoning his shirt.
“What are you doing, Kyle? Are you preparing to strip and go to bed?”
“Uncle, I was simply changing clothes. Then again, I won’t be going out, so I guess it doesn’t matter what I’m wearing.”
Uncle?
Davin nearly dropped the teapot in shock and he stared at “Kyle” with his mouth agape. He wasn’t this friendly when I last came in here, was he? He looked as though I owed him eighty million earlier and told me to get lost! That’s a rather… extreme change in attitude!
Davin was perplexed.
What Davin didn’t know was that he had returned earlier than the two of them expected. Juan had just climbed in from the window and explained his intentions to Kyle. As they exchanged clothes, before he could even button up, they heard footsteps, followed by the opening of the door…
Kyle quickly escaped from the window while Juan gave Davin the first excuse that came to mind.
Juan could not understand why Davin was staring at him in amazement. We’ve already switched clothes, so he shouldn’t be able to tell.
He headed over to Davin and said, “Uncle, the tea is going to spill. Would you like me to place that on the table?”
Did he just offer to help me? What happened to him picking a fight with me earlier? Why is he treating me so warmly and even attempted to help me?
Davin’s heart started to beat faster.
He questioned Juan, “Kyle, are you alright?”
Juan’s eyes sparkled like the stars and he nodded innocently, “I’m feeling perfectly fine!”
Davin placed a hand on his forehead. Nope, no fever. But… Something’s definitely off.
His expression darkened and he connected the dots. That must be it! Kyle’s schizophrenia must be acting up again!
“Uncle, what’s wrong?”
“I-it’s N-Nothing. Have fun!” Davin said hastily and left.
His calm demeanor had vanished without a trace and he hurriedly dialed Evan’s number.
“Evan, you’d better come back! Something’s up with Kyle!”
“What’s wrong?”
“You’ll know when you get back!”
Evan paused and recalled how Kyle had not touched his dinner the previous night. Don’t tell me he did something extreme!
He ended the meeting abruptly and rushed home. Davin warned him seriously, “Ok Evan, don’t ask anything. Just recall how Kyle was when you left him and compare it to how he is now. I won’t say anything. You’ll understand once you see him.”
Evan frowned and entered the room.
“Kyle” was fiddling with his iPad on the bed.
When Juan saw him, he recalled his mother’s injury and simply snorted. He continued playing with his iPad.
There’s nothing wrong with him! He’s still at odds with me!
Evan headed to Kyle’s side and inquired gently, “Are you hungry?”
At that, “Kyle’s” stomach started grumbling.
He knew that direct resistance was futile. He planned to eat well and hack his way through the company’s network to sabotage his father.
“I’m starving! I want to eat fried chicken and seafood!”
Evan frowned. Isn’t Kyle supposed to be angry at me?
“Kyle, aren’t you angry at daddy?”
Juan rolled his eyes. I’ll never forgive you for hitting Mommy! However, a man’s gotta eat! There’s no reason to stop eating because of that!
“Daddy, I felt that it was useless to stay angry at you. So I’ll continue eating.”
Evan’s eyes narrowed. Something’s off about Kyle! Don’t tell me…
After he left Kyle’s room, Davin dragged him into the study and told Evan about his extreme differences in personality.
“Evan, it’s almost like magic! The moment I re-entered the room, it’s like Kyle’s a different person! Something’s definitely up!”
How severe is Kyle’s schizophrenia?
“Evan, we can’t let this drag on any longer. If this gets serious, we need to treat him before it gets any worse!”
Evan’s pupils turned to slits and he was lost in thought. Davin could not read his mind and suggested, “Dr. Liu from Medwin Hospital is a specialist in this area. Let’s take Kyle to him to take a look.”
He then ran off in case Evan took his rage out on him. Just as Evan’s expression soured, his phone rang. He saw that Kyle’s teacher was calling and picked up.
“Mr. Seet, sorry to disturb you, but may I ask why is Kyle absent today? I heard he was ill.”
“It’s nothing major.”
“Oh, that’s a relief then. I have something that I’m not sure I should tell you about. Kyle…”
“Go ahead.”
When the teacher said her piece, Evan was in a foul mood.
According to the teacher, Kyle had exhibited dual personalities of a cool and aloof boy and a bright and outgoing child.
The teacher had phrased it discreetly, but Evan knew what she meant. Looks like it’s not just Davin and me. Even the teacher felt something was off. This can only mean that something is really off with Kyle!
After pondering over it, he headed to Kyle’s room and cast “Kyle” a pitiful expression, watching him finished the fried chicken. Evan forced himself to say, “Kyle, will you follow me to the hospital?”
Juan fell silent. What for?
He stared at Evan in bewilderment.
“It’s just a simple checkup.”
“Daddy, I’m fine.”
“Kyle, don’t be stubborn. Listen to me.”
Juan knew that it was impossible to win against Evan and relented. I’m not ill. They can test me all they like. I’d like to see them diagnose me with something!
At the hospital.
Evan instructed the doctor to do a thorough checkup and explained the “symptoms” to the doctor.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Seet. I’ll do a thorough checkup on Kyle.”
