At this point, Angell's narration suddenly stopped, and then he said to Gu Xinghe in a broken state.
"Take me...take me to Miss Mia, the painter!"
He felt that his wife had been replaced by someone who looked exactly like him.
After killing the imposter, Ingres stole the painting depicting his beloved woman.
That's roughly how the whole thing went.
But after listening to Angell's account, Gu Xinghe couldn't help but think of—
Capgrass syndrome is a mental illness also known as imposter syndrome.
People with Capgras paranoia believe that their loved ones or relatives have been replaced by someone with the same physical characteristics.
Similarly, Angell firmly believed that his wife was not herself.
In any case, neither Angell nor Anne seemed to be in a normal mental state.
It's not impossible that Angell might have simply been suffering from this mental illness and had actually killed his wife by mistake.
But when Gu Xinghe recalled the brief pause that Di Anjie made when confronting his father...
Even the seemingly normal older brother, Dean, apparently believes that his mother is not the real person.
Perhaps, after interacting with Mia, Meli did indeed undergo some kind of change.
Therefore, the Angell family believed that he was an imposter.
One day, the husband discovered that the person in the house who looked the same as his wife was not his wife.
Recalling Angell's account, Gu Xinghe suddenly remembered the scene when he first met Mia in the glass greenhouse of the castle.
What she was crying out in her heart at that moment was undoubtedly—"Save me."
However, Gu Xinghe later discovered that she had normal thoughts and feelings about the various things she saw.
So, is Mia in the same situation as Angel's wife, Melie?
"Take this painting to the old castle in the suburbs tonight. I think Miss Mia will be able to help you."
Just then, Mia, who had been quite quiet all along, interrupted.
Angel, who regarded her as Gu Xinghe's assistant, nodded hesitantly.
“Okay…Okay.”
After saying that, Mia didn't say anything more and pulled Gu Xinghe out of the room.
Only this family, with its chaotic and complicated relationships, remained in the same place.
As for the method Mia mentioned to help Angel, Gu Xinghe also tried to listen to her thoughts and find out.
He also noticed that Mia was indeed thinking about this, but her mind seemed to be shrouded in a fog.
It was as if her true soul wasn't here, preventing Gu Xinghe from seeing her inner thoughts.
...
"Knock knock knock—"
Gu Xinghe, who was enjoying dinner in his room, heard a knock on the door.
Before parting ways with Mia today, Mia only told him that she would come to his hotel room tonight after talking with Angel.
However, he was not allowed to go into the castle with him, clearly because they did not want him to participate.
After putting down his cutlery, Gu Xinghe opened the door and saw Mia standing outside without a doubt.
"Good evening, Mr. Gu Xinghe! I've come to see you!"
Mia then put her hands behind her back and tilted her body to the left as if she were looking around Gu Xinghe's room.
