Chapter 600 That Isn''t Neo.
However, Horace doubted the true identity of the body at first sight. He wanted to test the DNA of the
body, but dropped the n since he knew that the sulfuric acid on the body might brought troubles to
the doctors and policemen.
Therefore, having pondered over it for a long time, he decided not to test the DNA.
He nned to wait for a little longer to see if the detective could dig out more information about Neo''s
whereabouts because the detective once told him that Neo had once been seen recently somewhere
else. This poor burnt little boy might not be him.
Having already formed a positive theory in his mind, Horace could keep sober while ra was totally
attacked by panic. She kneeled down, crying, as soon as she saw the body.
Horace was at his wit''s end how to console ra—he had told her that the identity of the body was
uncertain, and yet she did not believe him and nor was she able to suppress her agony anymore. She
had already concealed her true feelings on their way to the spot. She had had enough.
She could not. She could not lie to herself that she believed Horace and was not sad but still hopeful.
Desperate, ra wanted to climb over to touch the body, but was stopped by Horace.
"ra, there is sulfuric acid on it."
At hismand, ra paused a little. Whereas, on her second thought, she resumed her moving,
reaching out for the body. Horace hurriedly stepped forward to pull her back. It would be dangerous if
ra truly touched the acid.
Worried that ra would run to the body again, Horace tightly held ra''s hand in fear that she would
hurt herself since if she did, he would be more than miserable and regretful.
"ra, listen to me. That isn''t Neo. Our boy was seen after the death of Laura. That isn''t him," Horace
whispered to ra. However, it was obvious that ra did not believe his words now.
She knew his trick— in lies. She would not believe him anymore. Never again. Tears running down
her face, she turned to gaze at Horace coldly.
"Don''t lie to me. Do you think that we can deceive ourselves forever? Don''t lie to me anymore. I know
everything!" ra turned around and was to leave the spot. After a few seconds, she suddenly fell
down and passed out, unconscious.
"ra!" Horace exchanged a look with the policeman and then immediately carried ra to hospital.
After some checks, Horace was told that ra passed out because she was shocked by what had
happened and she would recover and wake up after putting on an intravenous drip.
Sitting by the bed, Horace stared at ra, wondering what she was dreaming of.
Since ra passed out only because she was shocked, she woke up soon. When she opened her
eyes, she found that Horace was dozing on the chair.
After a whole sleepless day, he was exhausted. ra put on her shoes and got off the bed as quietly
as she could so that she wouldn''t wake Horace up. Then, feeling too depressed in the room, she left for
a random walk around the hospital.
"Neo boy, mommy is here," suddenly, ra caught sight of a figure quite simr to Neo. Yet, at her
second look, that boy disappeared.
ra felt dizzy and thought that she mistook someone else as Neo.
Yet, after five minutes, she saw the same figure again. The continuous hallucination showed that her
mind had already been a little out of whack.
Horace rushed out of the room to look for ra after he woke up and found that she had disappeared.
However, he could find her nowhere. Although he was powerful, he could not stop someone who was
determined to leave.
After a few minutes of crazy searching, Horace slowed down his pace and kept wandering around the
hospital, desperately hoping to find ra.
"Excuse me, have you seen a thin woman, this tall, in a hospital gown?"
"Sorry, have you ever seen a woman in a hospital gown, about this tall?"
Horace asked so many passers-by in the hospital, but all he could get from them were negative
answers.
Panic gradually creeped into his spine. ra wouldn''t totally disappear within such a short time, right?
Anxiously scratching his head, Horace stared at the passers-by nkly. He did not know what he could
do next. Then, suddenly, a voice imed his attention.
It was ra''s voice! Afraid that she had met some dangers, Horace ran across the hall in a hurry and
finally found ra in the crowd.
"ra," Horace found that this ra was no more the beautiful and elegant one that he knew—she
was crazily chasing the air with disheveled hair.
Horace thought that ra had gone mad. He squeezed himself through the crowd and walked closer to
her. Then he found that she was mumbling something.
"My dear Neo boy, we miss you so much! You''re finally back," her words startled Horace and made him
frown. He soon twigged that ra must have been trapped by hallucination after the shock.
"ra, we don''t have Neo here. He is not our son," Horace walked over and said with his index finger
pointing at the air in front of her. Whereas, ra ignored his words and directly pushed him away.
"Horace Kirnd, you''re Neo''s father. How could you say so? Our Neo boy is standing right here in
front of us!" glowering at Horace, ra pointed at the air and shouted angrily.
Horace was at his wit''s again how to draw ra back from her hallucination.
Logan suddenly showed up and ran over when Horace was brain storming.

After greeting each other, Logan asked Horace about the current situation.
The onlookers gradually left the spot after a while. Then, Horace told Logan the whole story.
"That body was actually not Neo. Yet, ra doesn''t believe me anymore. I don''t know what I can do
now," eyebrows knitted, Horace looked at ra in great sympathy.
"Do you still remember the psychiatrist whom she once went to? Maybe he could help her. Let''s go
meet him," Logan thought that the psychiatrist was thest straw they could turn to for help, so they
must have a try.
Horace nodded his head to show his approval. Indeed,st time, ra recovered after taking the pills
given by the psychiatrist. Although he was still skeptical about whether the psychiatrist could help, he
decided to have a try.
After three knocks on the door, ra was guided into the psychiatrist''s office by Logan and Horace.
The psychiatrist knew that Mrs. Kirnd was ill again once he saw Horace.
"Can you please help us to do a checkup on my wife?" staring at the psychiatrist, Horace made ra
sit down. Although she did not want to be seated, she could not fight against two strong men.
Only with one simple check did the psychiatrist find out that ra was now trapped in her own
hallucination where no one could get in and she herself could not get out—the only thing they could do
now was wait for her to wake up from it.
"Can you help us?" Horace looked hopefully at the psychiatrist. The psychiatrist squeezed a bitter smile
and concluded secretly that Horace indeed loved his wife so much.
It was more than surprising that the poker-faced Horace would look like this one day, with eyes glinting
with hope and eagerness.
