Sydney flattened her lips and replied, "Yes, he is."
"How is that possible!" Luke couldn’t believe it, "How could he have developed a dual personality? Isn’t he only mentally ill? ”
Sydney clenched her fists, "Do you remember Finn said that when a mental illness got severe enough, the patient might develop a dual personality. Earlier, when Finn started Cay's psychotherapy, he had told me that it was very likely for Cay to develop a dual personality. It turned out it really happened."
Syndey looked at Cayden with complicated eyes.
Cayden smiled at her as if he was completely unaware that he was the patient Sydney was talking about.
Luke was shocked, "I've seen on TV before that some people would develop a dual personality after they had some huge blow. Did the whole thing about you falling off the cliff stimulate him, so this guy occurred?"
Luke pointed at Cayden.
Cayden looked at Luke's finger. He narrowed his eyes somberly, swept Luke’s finger away, and debated, "What do you mean I just occurred? I was around the whole time. It was just that dumbass had been suppressing me and wouldn't let me out. Only until Sydney fell off the cliff did the dumbass realize he was hurting you, and his mental defenses collapsed, so I finally came out."
Sydney's face changed color at Layden's words, "What do you mean? You've been around for a long time? And Cay knew you were there?"
"This is unbelievable!" Luke was stunned.
Layden pulled out a chair for himself, sat down, crossed his legs, which he would never have done before, and answered with a smirk on his face, "Yes. We not only know each other’s existence, but we used to talk to each other."
"How do you talk to each other?" Luke looked at Layden in amazement, "How is that possible?"
"Everything is possible. I came to existence on that dumbass's eighteenth birthday. I occasionally overtook that dumbass during the initial period. We spoke to each other by writing on the blackboard. We learned everything about each other. I knew the dumbass cared most about you, Sydney. And because of his influence, I grew to be interested in you, too."
Suddenly, Layden seemed to think of something. He had a grim smile, "But when the dumbass noticed it, he went to a therapist and tried to kill me. Fortunately, I was strong since I came into being, so I survived. But I was put into a coma until three days ago when I finally woke up. Now..."
Layden raised his arms and exclaimed," This body is finally mine! I can do whatever I want with it. I will avenge what the dumbass did to me before! I’ll make the dumbass disappear forever. Then this body will belong to me completely."
"No!" Sydney immediately got anxious. She grabbed the sheet fiercely and stared at Cayden, "This is Cay's body, and he's your master! You can't do that!"
"Why can't I?" Cayden smirked, fastened his eyes to Sydney and went on, "I think I should be the master of this body. Giving that dumbass this body is a waste. He likes you, but he doesn't dare to tell you. He's acting like Julien, pretending to be gentle and nice to you, and hiding his true colors, which is so stupid! I won’t be the same as him."
He leaned in closer to Sydney and lowered his voice to make it sound more attractive," I love you. I'm telling you straight up. And I won't hide my true color. I'm a lot more genuine than he is. Besides, that dumbass resents Lincoln Bennet, so he won't go back to Bennet's family or inherit the family business, which leaves it to be conspired by a bunch of bastards.” Cayden then snorted, "Does he think he's being noble by doing this? In my opinion, he's so stupid! Even if he hates Lincoln, it has nothing to do with inheriting the family business. If he had inherited the family business, he could have kicked Lincoln Bennet out of the family. But that dumbass didn't think about it at all. And he got himself to be the target of those bastards and caused you to be kidnapped by Burton. If it were me, I'd have killed Burton, so I'm better than that dumbass in every way. Sydney, consider me."
"No way!" Before Sydney made an answer, Luke pushed Cayden away.
Cayden was pissed off. He threw a glance over his shoulder where Luke pushed him and then drew his eyes back to Luke's face. He said in a grim voice, "Luke, I'm not that dumbass. Although that dumbass has so many bad intentions and he's actually evil, he’s tolerant of his friends, but I'm not. If you mess with me, I'll kill you."
Layden's tone was chill, without the slightest hint of emotion.
