Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 172

Chloe jerked awake. “I killed someone. I killed someone.” She looked around, realizing she was lying on a comfy couch.

Chloe shot upright, staring at her hands and mumbling, “I killed someone. I killed someone.”

The memory of killing Linda kept bombarding her mind, making her thoughts race and her breathing quicken.

A cup of warm milk appeared in front of her, and a soothing voice followed. “You didn’t kill anyone. You just had a hallucination because of your condition.”

Chloe held her face, sighing in relief. “I thought I’d really killed her.”

She took a moment to calm down, then accepted the milk from the man. “Dr. Winston, how did I get here?”

Winston replied, “You called me before your episode, and I tracked your location. When I found you, your car was parked by the roadside, and you were semi-conscious.”

Chloe couldn’t remember any of it.

After a pause, she said, “I’m out of meds. Could you prescribe me some more?”

“Of course,” Winston said. “Your condition has been stable for a long time. What triggered this episode? Was it the diary?”

When Winston found Chloe, she had been clutching a diary tightly.

He offered the diary to her. “Don’t worry, I haven’t read it.”

Chloe not only had depression but also mild dissociative identity disorder. Including today, it had only flared up twice. During an episode, Chloe would lose herself, lose control, and sometimes exhibit other personalities, with no memory afterward.

The first episode was the night she attempted suicide. She didn’t remember how she’d done it.

Chloe didn’t realize Linda’s diary would trigger her dissociative identity disorder. She didn’t think her resilience was that weak. The only possibility was that her condition had worsened.

Chloe looked up, her eyes falling on Winston’s neck. There was indeed a red mark. So, the hallucination of killing Linda wasn’t just a hallucination.

“I’m sorry, Dr. Winston.”

Winston adjusted his glasses, smiling warmly and making Chloe feel at ease. “There’s no need for apologies between us.”
