She Took The House The Car And My Heart

Chapter 914:

“Because he’s exceptional,” Lawrence replied without flinching. “His intellect is off the charts. His emotional range, his resilience—everything about his mind made him the perfect candidate. If I could make it work with him, then the probability of success with others would skyrocket to ninety percent.”

Erasing memories. Implanting thoughts. Reshaping someone’s very identity to match a blueprint.

Those who woke from it would become new versions of themselves—tailored, deliberate.

Of course, the memory reset wasn’t required, but without it, success rates dropped by ten percent. And for people with strong willpower, it could fall by as much as thirty.

Freya said nothing. She couldn’t see the point of such an experiment.

Lawrence noticed her expression and understood her disapproval. Steering the conversation back, he focused on Kristian. “His condition is stable now. Based on his latest evaluation, helping him recover his memories shouldn’t be too difficult.”

“When are you bringing Kristian over?” Lawrence asked, breaking the silence that had lingered a beat too long.

“That depends on him.” Freya had never been the type to make decisions for someone else. “To you, he’s still the Kristian Shaw you remember, but to him, that old version of himself doesn’t even exist.”

“That’s because he doesn’t understand what this really is,” Lawrence replied, his tone measured.

“Do you seriously believe he has no connection to a second personality—or some alternate self that surfaces under certain conditions?” Freya’s voice held a note of disbelief. “I don’t know much about this, and I won’t pretend to fully grasp your experiment, but his character, his behavior—everything about him now—it’s nothing like before. Are you sure he’s just Kristian with memory loss?”

Her words lingered between them like a shadow that refused to dissipate.

Lawrence didn’t respond right away.

Freya’s feelings were tangled and difficult to put into words. “I’m not in a place to interfere with your research, but looking at Kristian’s current state, I really don’t think you should keep pushing this.” In her view, people could transform themselves, build strength on their own, without needing outside intervention.

“There are plenty of people who need this,” Lawrence said, his expression sharpening with resolve. “They want to become strong—unshakable, no matter what life throws at them. They can’t manage it alone, but I can help them.”noveldrama

“Is that so?” Freya shot back, unimpressed.

“Yes,” Lawrence replied, resolute.

“No matter how someone changes, life still throws curveballs. No personality is completely untouchable.” Freya enunciated every word, her conviction unwavering. “The only thing that can truly remain unbroken is a resilient mind.”

Personality was just the sum of circumstances one had lived through. The mind, though—that was forged through every hardship a person faced.

“I’ll tell Kristian the truth. Whether or not he wants it back is his decision.” Freya didn’t linger after that.

She said what she needed to say, then walked off, leaving Lawrence rooted to the spot, her words looping endlessly in his mind.

For years, he had devoted himself to studying people’s brains—all because of the promise he made to his sister on her deathbed.

She had once dreamed of inventing something that could make people strong—something that would allow them to live freely, without grief or fear. He hadn’t invented such a remedy, but he had found a way to alter personality.
