Eliora didn't know how to start answering that question.
'Tell him I sent you before the accident' Aiden quickly urged
He didn't want the girl telling Lawrence that he was somehow stuck in her head yapping. For someone like him who despised superstition to be in the middle of it himself. That wasn't news he was willing to spread.
"Mr Winthrop sent me before the accident" Eliora echoed
"What's your relationship with Aiden?" Lawrence inquired obviously unconvinced
"You were sent by Henry Winthrop right? You are trying to get confidential about Mr Winthrop since he is currently in a coma. Isn't that what this is about? I do hope your bargain was worth it because you might end up loosing your life" he threatened
"Really, your Henry dude didn't send me nothing. I don't even know who that is" She frowned
The last thing she wanted was to loose her life all because of some stupid misunderstanding.
"Then who sent you? Mrs Winthrop? Talia Winthrop? The Andersons? Jackson Hunt?..."
...and the list could go on and on.
It suddenly occurred to Lawrence that Aiden had offended so many people. Even his own family wanted him dead.
"I guess we'll just have to kill you. I bet you have no idea who sent you" Lawrence nodded at his subordinates
Before Aiden could even say anything, Eliora had already blurted out.
"Aiden Winthrop is talking in my head. He is the one who gave me your number or else how would I get it. I don't know how he did it but he is talking in my head"
"You want me to believe that" he scoffed and waved her off
"Do something, I don't plan on dying because of your stupid ego" She glared at the punk in her head
He rather not tell anyone and have her get shot than be associated with superstitious things. He must think it's a delight to be stuck with him.
"Are you talking to..." Lawrence was interrupted by her sudden abrupt reply
"Nincompoop! You must be having a kick with no one to watch over your shoulder, anyone would have sworn you are the boss here"
Lawrence was instantly left dumbstruck. He would have sworn he just heard the lady speak but those words...
"Aiden??" he uttered subconsciously
....
In the villa, Eliora sat across Dr Lawrence and another middle aged lady she had seen with Aiden the other day.
"So is it like schizophrenia, you are one personality and Mr Winthrop is the other" Secretary Zhou asked as she and Dr Lawrence kept taking notes
Since Lawrence realized that Aiden was really inside of her, his actions became more cautious and he addressed her with much more respect. It was almost as if she was an heavenly entity.
"No, he just speaks through me sometimes... when he wants to, I guess. But that's not relevant, what's important is how to get him out of my head and probably back to his coma self" she sighed
She already had enough to deal with after returning back to the country. She didn't have the time or mental strength for this. The only reason she was going this far was the guilt she felt.
"I... I don't think that would is... medically possible but..." Lawrence paused
He wanted suggesting taking it spiritual besides Aiden had been cursed by many people including himself. It could be that all the curses metamorphosed into this.
"But what? You couldn't be suggesting going spiritual?" Secretary Zhou frowned
This was clearly the most obvious choice in such a situation but they both knew Aiden had never believed in anything religious or superstitious.
"Spiritual, yeah! I was thinking same" Eliora asked interested
'What nonsense! A room of assumed literates and that is what you could come up with. Don't even think of it' Aiden sneered
'Tell Lawrence to get me out of that stupid coma and I'm sure I'll return back to my body' he instructed
Eliora wasn't planning on telling them this but Lawrence already knew what Aiden's reaction would be.
"He said not to try it, didn't he?" He sighed
The worse thing about being a doctor was that people thought you were God and expect you to the do the impossible.
"You don't have to listen to him, for Christ sake he is in a coma"
Eliora didn't want to bet her chances of sanity on simply a doctors skill.
Just then Lawrence's and secretary Zhou's phone began ringing simultaneously. They glanced at each other before answering the call.
"Is something wrong?" Eliora asked noting the stern look on their face just before they hung up
