Chapter 1158: Chapter 1161: Retrieving Memories (Extra 4) Chapter 1158: Chapter 1161: Retrieving Memories (Extra 4) After hanging up the phone, Aidan Lucas felt an unusual twinge of guilt.
Not toward his second personality, but toward the woman on the other end of the call.
Heh…
He chuckled silently.
Could it be that he had slept for so long that he was no longer accustomed to communicating with people?
Aidan Lucas was far from an honest and upright good man, having laid even more traps in negotiations than usual.
But now, to deceive and fob off a strange woman actually made him unusually uncomfortable.
Easing the tightness of his tie, he dialed a number from memory.
Moments later, Aidan Lucas picked up a few pills and placed them in his upper pocket, then summoned his subordinate.
“Mr. Lucas, what can I do for you?”
Seeing the man before him wearing gold-framed glasses and looking obviously more mature, Aidan Lucas's eyebrows imperceptibly raised.
“Benjamin?” he tentatively called out.
“Present, Mr. Lucas!” Benjamin responded with a strong voice.
Aidan Lucas smiled mirthlessly.
He hadn't expected that the always irreverent kid would now don gold-framed glasses in an attempt to look mature.
However…
His eyes darkened.
It seemed that Old Benjamin had either retired or passed away.
“Hand me the car keys; I have some business to attend to.”
“Ah? Mr. Lucas, the situation is complicated. Theodore Lucas is clearly up to something. Maybe you should stay…”
“Benjamin, you talk too much.”
“Mr. Lu…” Benjamin immediately covered his mouth.
Oh my, why had Mr. Lucas become so frightening again?
Since developing a sweet relationship with the Young Lady, it had been a long time since Mr. Lucas had been harsh with him.
Whimpering… Benjamin felt aggrieved and pained inside.
But no matter how aggrieved or pained Benjamin was, he didn't dare to provoke Mr. Lucas.
He obediently handed over the car key to Mr. Lucas; wanting to follow and protect him, he had just received one cold, indifferent glance from Mr. Lucas's eyes and felt so guilty that he shrank his neck.
It was all over; Mr. Lucas's presence was becoming more and more formidable.
Without even being fierce, his mere cold look sent chills down someone's spine.

Aidan Lucas drove alone to the Designated Meeting Place, where his Chief Physician was waiting for him.
“Mr. Lucas, I'm glad to see you have returned.”
Aidan Lucas slightly nodded, then got right to the point, “I don't have much time, let's cut to the chase.”
“This is the medication the second personality is currently taking; you can analyze its components for a countermeasure. And this…”
After taking out a few pills from his pocket, Aidan Lucas produced another brown medicine bottle.
“There's only one pill in this bottle, which I suspect has a special function. You should check this one as well.”
“All right, with these medicines, we can be better prepared. But Mr. Lucas, what you should do now is to immediately recover your memory. That would give you an advantage in your struggle for control with your second personality.”
Initially, to prevent his second personality from taking over the body and erasing Lily Gray, Aidan Lucas held on with his last breath before fading away, instructing the doctor to perform hypnotherapy on him.
That session erased all memories of Lily Gray from his mind.
This also led to the second personality–when it subsequently awoke–losing those memories of Lily Gray.
Since then, the primary personality had been in a deep slumber.
Over those four years, he was unaware of what had transpired in the outside world, with one exception.
It was one night, steeped in the depths of passionate love.
That one night, he seemed to have met an exceptionally beloved woman.
He instinctively called out her name, “Lily…”
Even though that night was extremely brief, it was too profound to ever be forgotten.
[Author's Note] Another update is coming! Here's a soothing pill for you, don't worry, I promise there won't be any cheesy twists with Lily Gray's impostor deceiving or abusing our Lily. None of the scum will succeed. There will be no suffering caused by external conflicts, rest assured!
