Chapter 184 Hunter’s Concern
"She did." Julien nodded.
Something flashed across Lyra's eyes. "Then... how is she like?"
Julien frowned and said nothing.
When Lyra saw that, she made an uneasy expression." Julien, is she horrible?"
"It's fine, Lyra. Don’t overthink it." Julien touched her hair and added, "Dr. Imanov will get you better and eliminate the alternate personality."
"Eliminate?" Lyra was shocked. She covered her mouth and asked, "Why eliminate? Didn’t we agree on merging?"
"No, we can't merge your personalities. Your alternate personality is too malicious. I’m worried that it might affect your personality as well," Julien said heavily.
Lyra nodded. "I see. I understand, then."
She lowered her head and clenched her fists.
Julien thought of her true personality as malicious.
"Dr. Imanov." Julien did not realize Lyra's change in behavior and turned around to face Dr. Imanov.
"Yes, President Flint?" Dr. Imanov pushed his glasses.
Julien said, "For Lyra's treatment, please make a
schedule. I want to monitor her progress."
"Sure." Dr. Imanov nodded.
After that, Julien and Lyra left the clinic and were about to leave.
Just as they walked out, they ran into Finn, who was walking toward them.
"The consultation ended?" Finn halted his steps and looked at both of them. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
"It ended. Finn, why are you here?" Lyra asked with a smile.
Finn had both his hands in his lab coat. "The surgery I was doing ended, so I came over to take a look at you guys. How's Lyra's condition?"
He looked at Julien.
Julien rubbed his eyebrows. "It's quite serious. Her alternate personality is already matured, and she’s almost as old as Lyra."
"Really? That does sound serious," Finn said and added, "What are you both planning to do next?"
Lyra replied, "Julien said we should eliminate the alternate personality.”
"Really, Julien?" Finn raised his eyebrows.
Julien nodded. "We can't keep the alternate personality around."
Lyra lowered her head to conceal her emotions.
When Finn saw her little act, he could already guess what happened. He pushed his glasses and said, "To eliminate a personality isn't easy, and there’s no guarantee that it will succeed. Only time can give us the answer."
"I know. Dr. Imanov said he'll try his best. I think we should be going, then," Julien glanced at his watch and said in a cold voice.
Finn stepped aside to make way for them both.
Julien walked forward with Lyra following behind him.
When she walked past Finn, she suddenly turned around and winked at him.
Finn returned it with a smile.
This short moment of interaction between them was more than enough.
However, Julien did not notice a thing.
After Sydney and Luke returned to the Skylight Corporation, both of them were buried in their work.
Sydney had to be admitted for two days after her surgery.
Since there was no way of doing work while she was admitted, she wanted to do as much as she could right now. Otherwise, her work might just pile up.
In the afternoon, Luke got a phone call from his assistant, asking him to go for a meeting.
Luke put down the pen in his hand, stretched himself out, and stood up from the chair.
"How much more?" Luke asked as he massaged his own shoulder.
Sydney shook her head, which felt heavier than before. She looked at the table by her side and said bitterly, "This much more."
She made a gesture with her hands.
Luke sighed. "There's no way you can finish these in two days. TH take half of them back to my office and bring it back once it's done."
"Sure. Thank you, Luke." Sydney took a sip of the tea he brewed for her earlier.
Luke waved his hand. “You don’t have to thank me. Although Skylight is stable now and I don't have much work to do, I still have the title of a Vice President. I should be doing some work after all."
After saying that, he lifted half the pile of the documents.
Sydney called Sophie into her office. "Sophie, Luke is returning to his office. Can you give him a hand?"
When Sophie heard that, a flash of delight appeared in her eyes. However, it quickly disappeared and she said respectfully, "Sure, President Raines."
After that, she made a polite gesture and said, "Please, President Chase."
Luke looked toward Sydney. "Darling, I'll be leaving."
"Go on." Sydney waved her hand.
Luke walked out with Sophie.
Sydney stretched her neck and decided to continue working.
Just then, her phone rang.
She glanced at the screen and saw that the call was from Hunter.
"Hello?" Sydney placed the phone next to her ear.
When Hunter heard her voice, he unconsciously softened his tone. "It's me."
"I know." Sydney rubbed her eyebrows. "What's going on?"
"Can’t I call you without anything going on?" Hunter leaned against his bike as he said nonchalantly.
Sydney rolled her eyes. "You might be free, but I'm not.
If nothing is going on, then I'll hang up."
"Hey, don’t. I'll talk." Hunter was afraid that she might really hang up. He quickly straightened himself.
Sydney had her phone between her shoulder and her cheek. "Go on." "You told me that you were going to the hospital for an abortion today, so I called to ask what happened,” Hunter asked in concern.
He wanted to call in the morning but thought that she might be in the middle of the surgery, so he waited until now.
"Not yet. You called to ask me this?" Sydney was amused.
Hunter cleared his throat. "Yes. I'm just concerned about you since we're friends."
"Thanks,” Sydney replied with a smile.
Hunter smiled as well. "You don't have to thank me. But if you haven't done it, does it mean that you plan to keep the child?"
"No. The operation theaters in the hospital are fully booked these two days, so mine is two days later,” Sydney said while she looked through her document.
Hunter said in realization, "I see. I thought you decided to keep the child."
"Of course, not. I already made my decision," Sydney said.
Hunter wanted to say something, but he could not find the right words. After a few seconds of hesitation, he said, "Does my friend know that you plan to go for an abortion?”
Sydney paused and quickly returned to her senses. "I didn't tell him. After all, the child is still in my abdomen. According to the law, I can decide on the abortion without telling him.” "I know, but he has to be responsible somehow, right?" Hunter frowned.
Sydney turned the page of the document. "No need. What happened that night was both our fault, not his alone. I don't need him to be responsible for anything. Is there anything else, Hunter? I’m really busy here."
Hunter could tell that she did not want to say much. He could only end the call.
After he put down his phone, he tugged on his hair in frustration.
How could it be both of their faults? From the surveillance video, only Sydney was drunk. Julien was wide awake and fully conscious.
Under those circumstances, it was Julien's fault.
Since Sydney was drunk, there was no way she could do anything to Julien. Even if she wanted to, Julien could easily push her away.
