    After mulling over it for a few seconds, Vicky nodded.


    Despite his memory loss, Vicky knew Tyler would find out everything he wanted to know.


    Spotting Tyler’s demanding gaze, the doctor forced himself to speak, “I initially thought it was the car


    ident that caused Mister Hart’s memory loss, but…judging from the situation now, it seems my initial


    diagnosis was wrong.”


    Vicky’s eyes flickered. “Your initial diagnosis was wrong?”


    The doctor nodded seriously. “The fact that Mister Hart had two memory losses in such a short period


    meant that it wasn’t the car crash that caused it.” He nced at Tyler and continued in a whisper, “I’m


    beginning to suspect he has… dissociative disorder.”


    “Dissociative disorder? What’s that?” asked the shocked Vicky.


    “Dissociative disorder is a kind of mental illness,monly known as…”


    Tyler was getting impatient. “Well, spit it out now.”


    A jolt shot through the doctor’s body. “It’smonly known as split personality disorder.”


    The air in the room thickened with tension.


    “Of course, Mister Hart’s condition hasn’t reached that point yet…but he’s showing serious early


    symptoms,” added the doctor quickly.


    Vicky clenched her fists. “Early symptoms? Can you tell us more about it?”


    “Both memory loss and mixing up timelines are early symptoms of dissociative disorder…” The doctor


    rarely discussed a patient’s condition in front of the patient, so he felt immense pressure on himself. In


    fact, he did not even dare to look at Tyler.


    “ording to clinical research, patients with this type of mental illness must’ve had an unhappy


    childhood or lived in an unhealthy environment for a long time, suffering from extremely painful


    experiences…


    “inly speaking, it means the patient had lived in a traumatic environment for so long that to protect


    itself from having a mental breakdown, the brain chose this way as a form of escape. But of course,


    there’s a possibility that it’s not dissociative disorder since Mister Hart did experience a car crash and


    had a burning fever for the whole night.


    “It’s just that…more than ny-nine percent of these patients suffer from extremely severe depression,


    so we can conclude Mister Hart has dissociative disorder if he suffers from depression as well.” He


    looked at both Vicky and


    Harry. “The two of you know Mister Hart best. Do you know if he has depression?”


    Vicky was unfamiliar with dissociative disorder, but she knew about depression since it had be


    prevalent in current-day society. Those with mild depression would

    experience unstable emotions while those with serious depression would go to the extreme ends of the


    spectrum.


    A chill ran down her spine when she thought back to how Tyler behaved calmly while doing something


    maniacal during the car ident. ‘He might just have depression… It’s just that he hid it so well, so no


    one knew…’


    Her gaze wavered as she looked at Harry. ‘He might know some of Tyler’s secrets since he worked for


    him the longest.’


    Beads of cold sweat started to appear on Harry’s forehead when he met the doctor’s and Vicky’s eyes.


    However, he was not really worried about those two. Instead, he was worried about Tyler looking at


    him.


    Tyler’s aura was just too oppressive, and it made Harry think twice about telling the doctor and Vicky


    about his employer’s secrets.


    Harry’s internal battle was written all over his face, and Vicky’s heart sank even more at the sight.


    ‘Harry would’ve said Tyler doesn’t have depression if he didn’t, but the fact that he’s hesitating meant


    that Tyler does have depression,’ thought Vicky.


    After a while, Harry decided to bite the bullet ande out with the truth. “Mister Hart does have


    depression.”


    “Is his depression serious?” asked the doctor with a frown.


    “Due to his status, he’s been trained to not show his emotions, so I’m not sure whether his depression


    is serious. But, I do know he suffers from frequent migraines and


    insomnia which he takes medicine for.”


    Vicky snapped her head to look at Tyler. She had no idea that was all going on.


    Tyler remained expressionless when he heard what Harry said; it was as if he was listening to another


    person’s problems.


    Vicky could not detect any changes in his face at all.


    “Having to take medicine means his condition is serious. This kind of mental illness requires early


    treatment ’cause it might lead to split personality and insanity, or worse…death, ” said the doctor


    seriously.
