Chapter 1088: Theory of the Remnants (2/2)

Unlike Nikolai and the rest of the Vetrovs, however, Evelina's composure wasn't the cold and dispassionate type. It was just her nature to remain calm and collected.

”She's not like that anymore, though.” Jin Liwei returned to the bedroom and climbed on the bed to lie beside his sleeping wife.

He caressed her face. ”Is it because you're pregnant? Or is it because…of Long Xiulan's remnant?”

He had a theory.

Perhaps the original Long Xiulan's personality was gradually merging with his wife Evelina's personality through the remnant. Or maybe it had already merged. He didn't have any way of proving this theory because even his wife didn't know that much about the remnant.

The possible merging of personalities was even more plausible now that his wife was pregnant as evident by her extreme mood swings. Maybe it was because of the massive hormonal changes happening inside her body. Or perhaps it was something more abstract than this, like a gap between the body and the soul.

It was Evelina's decision to marry him so she was the mother of their children. However, now that she became pregnant with their firstborns, her body which was originally Long Xiulan's had to bear the babies.

Jin Liwei could only use his imagination grounded by his logical thinking to analyze the possible reasons why his wife was suffering so much during her pregnancy, not to mention acting out of her usual character more and more often. The most worrying for him, however, was the deterioration of her health.

”Does the remnant have anything to do with all this or am I thinking too much?”

He ran his fingers through his hair and sighed. It was so difficult making sense of something so fantastical and out of the ordinary. If this kind of thing didn't happen to his own wife, he would never have believed it. Ever.

Thinking more about it, his wife wasn't the only one who might have a gradual change in original past life's personality due to a remnant's possible influence. His brother-in-law, Nikolai, might also be in the same situation.

Based on his wife's stories, the Vetrov report, and popular hearsays about Nikolai Vetrov, he was never a tolerant man except when it was for his sister. Yet the Nikolai who was now living as Lu Zihao was displaying quite an impressive amount of tolerance.

Well, it could be explained as Nikolai just trying to put up an act to maintain his new identity as Lu Zihao. Jin Liwei had some doubts, though. Nikolai's changes to Lu Zihao's original lifestyle ever since returning to China from Canada were even more drastic than what Evelina did to Long Xiulan's original way of doing things after waking up from her first coma.

”Nikolai as Fifth Brother Zihao is vicious but not as vicious as the original Nikolai who was considered a true living devil back then.”
