    Chapter 444 Self-Suggestion


    It was normal for Ben''s trip to Verdania to be in vain.


    No matter how stupid Imogen was, she wouldn''t stay in one ce waiting for Ben to react ande


    after her.


    Of course, Cordelia knew Imogen''s whereabouts, but she would never tell Ben.


    "Yes, you have seen her before. However, your intention was clear. That is to have sex with her. But


    firmly.


    Ben suddenly froze.


    He had sex with Imogen without his knowledge? How could that be possible?


    Seeing Ben''s confusion, Cordelia seized the opportunity and continued, "I suggest you temporarily give


    up searching for Imogen and focus on treating your illness first."


    Otherwise, it would only harm both himself and others.


    Ben clenched his fists with veins visibly bulging on his forehead.


    "The person who went to see her wasn''t me. Imogen betrayed me!" he eximed.


    Cordelia shook her head and denied him decisively, "It was you. It''s just another side of yourself that


    you don''t want to admit."


    Beside them, Elijah had remained silent all along.

    Until now, he firmly believed that Cordelia would surely be able to handle Ben.


    From their recent conversation, it seemed that Cordelia''s momentum had sessfully surpassed


    Ben''s, and she temporarily convinced him.


    After a long silence, Ben struggled to speak, "So, what should I do?"


    "First, you need to convince yourself to ept him and respect his thoughts and actions," Cordelia


    exined the treatment n she had already developed, "The biggest contradiction now is that you


    know nothing about his actions, yet he knows you very well."


    Gritting his teeth, Ben retorted, "I have no idea about his actions. How can I ept him?"


    "So, from now on, you need to give yourself a self-suggestion. No matter what he thinks or does, you


    ept it," Cordelia said.


    "Why?" Ben instinctively objected.


    "Because he is you!"


    Cordelia stared at Ben with a steadfast gaze, exuding an overwhelming aura that contrasted sharply


    with her gentle appearance, leaving no room for refusal.


    At this moment, Elijah said, "Ben, if you want to change your current situation but don''t want others to


    know about your condition, then listen to Cordelia and solve your temporary amnesia problem as soon


    as possible."


    After all, the prognosis for this illness was not good. It was already difficult enough to maintain a


    bnce between the two personalities and make them peacefully coexist.


    Moreover, Cordelia mentioned that the alternate personality was clearly dominant over the primary


    personality, and there was a possibility of the alternate personalitypletely recing the primary


    personality.


    Elijah was concerned about this. In his heart, he didn''t like Ben''s alternative personality, which was like


    a charming viin.


    If one day, Ben''s primary personalitypletely disappeared, Elijah would choose to sever ties with


    him.


    Ben didn''t stay long and left in a hurry.


    After he left, Elijah asked Cordelia, "Does self-suggestion really work?"


    Cordelia nodded earnestly. "Yes, it does. But it''s a slow process. In the short term, Ben''s alternate


    personality will remain dominant."


    In short, Ben''s dissociative identity disorder resulted from some childhood experiences and long-


    standing conflicting emotions.


    It was hard to imagine that there lived such a personality in his subconscious, which was a version of


    himself that he wanted to be but couldn''t.
