Chapter 234 Pulling Lyra’s Hair
Julien paused and something flashed across his eyes. "How do I usually treat Lyra?"
"Gentle, pampering, and obedient," Finn said.
Julien frowned deeply.
Finn crossed his arms in front of his chest. “Are you upset with my summary?"
"No.” Julien put his focus on the document in his hands once more.
So what if he was upset? What Finn said was undeniably the truth.
That was indeed how he treated Lyra.
"Then, why are you frowning?" Finn looked at him.
Julien replied lightly, "It's nothing."
Finn chuckled and said, "I suddenly realized that you’ve become different since the accident, especially your attitude toward Lyra. What happened between you both? Why are you suddenly so cold to her?"
Julien took his pen and put down his signature on the document. "Nothing happened between us. I just realized that the way I handle Lyra wasn't right, and I want to reflect on myself." "But you refuse to see her," Finn said bluntly.
Julien closed his document and placed it to the side before opening another one.
The feelings he had toward Lyra were complex. He might have noticed that he no longer had feelings for Lyra, and had even stopped loving her. He did not want to see her because of this.
Other than this, there was also another odd reason which made him bewildered. He was clear that he did not have any feelings for Lyra anymore, yet whenever he saw her, he felt that he would subconsciously be affected by Lyra. It was like it always had - whenever he saw Lyra in trouble or sad, he would give in completely and do anything for her. Even though this impulse had reduced by a fair bit, he was still uncomfortable with it.
The most obvious example occurred yesterday. When he met Lyra's eyes through the window with her eyes red, he felt a sudden impulse to call her in and wipe her tears. However, before he could do this, his grandma already chased her away.
Right away after Lyra left, the feeling he had disappeared, and the thought of comforting her was nowhere to be found as well. He returned to the calm state that he was in prior to meeting Lyra.
It was as if everything that happened was just an illusion.
However, he knew that it was not. Whenever he saw Lyra, he would lose control of his thoughts and emotions. There seemed to be a pair of invisible hands urging him to give his all to Lyra, even forcing him to love Lyra.
When Julien thought of this, he tightened his grip on his pen and tried to suppress the surge of emotions in his heart.
When Finn saw that Julien remained silent, he shrugged and left the room.
At the hospital main lobby.
Lyra stepped out of the elevator and saw Sydney from not far away.
Sydney saw her as well and deliberately put on a surprised expression. "Ms. Madden, what a coincidence."
Lyra did not know that Sydney was here to look for her. She gritted her teeth and asked, "Why are you in the hospital? Are you here to see Julien?"
Sydney could see right through Lyra. Her eyes brightened and she smiled. "Of course, I'm here to see President Flint. I heard he got into a car accident. As his ex-wife, I should pay him a visit. We were once in love, after all. Ms. Madden, did you just leave his room? Can you tell me which room he is in?"
"Don't even think about it." Lyra looked at Sydney with bloodshot eyes.
Sydney purposely sighed. "Really? Fine, then. I'll ask the front desk."
As she said that, she walked past Lyra toward the elevator.
Lyra immediately tugged her arm and pulled her back. "No way! I'm warning you, Sydney Raines. Don’t go and see Julien. He’s my fiance!’’
"So what? You both aren’t married yet."
Sydney looked at Lyra with a knowing smile. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Lyra was enraged by her smile, and also her words from before.
Her entire body was trembling. "We'll get married someday!"
"I don't think so. I heard President Flint refused to see you for the past two days. I think he might break up with you and it’ll be a great opportunity for me." Sydney flipped her hair and smiled vibrantly.
However, she was retching inside.
Being a pretentious b*tch was exhausting and disgusting. She swore to never do it ever again.
Lyra's expression changed instantly. "What? Opportunity? You want to get back together with Julien?"
"Yes. I'm pregnant. The child is his, so of course, I have to get back together with him. I can’t let my child be fatherless. Ms. Madden, I know that you’re a generous person. You wouldn't want to see an innocent child end up with a broken family, right?" Sydney blinked and observed Lyra.
As she expected, Lyra's expression twisted uglily.
Sydney knew that she was pregnant with Julien's child.
What she was worried about had happened. Once Sydney found out, she would try to reconcile with Julien. All those words about not loving Julien anymore were just bulls*it.
Lyra could not care less about how Sydney found out she got pregnant with Julien's child. Lyra gave Sydney’s abdomen a vicious glance.
It was all because of this ba*stard.
As long as Sydney did not have this b*stard anymore, she could never reconcile with Julien.
Lyra laughed crazily and suddenly lunged toward Sydney.
Sydney saw it coming long ago. She narrowed her eyes and quickly moved to the side.
Lyra caught nothing in front of her and fell to the ground.
Sydney sneered, bent forward, and pulled Lyra up by her hair. She used another hand and gave Lyra two hard slaps, one on each side.
The sound of her palm landing on Lyra's cheek was exceptionally sharp.
Fingerprints immediately appeared on Lyra's cheek, and she looked pathetic.
They both did not notice that the doors of the elevator behind them had opened, and a man in a wheelchair was watching the entire scene. Both his hands that were on the armrest clenched tight, as though he was suppressing something.
"Sydney, how dare you hit me?!" Lyra was pressed onto the ground by Sydney, but she was not as strong. She could only dig her nails into Sydney's arm, hoping that Sydney would let go due to the pain.
However, Sydney did not. The more she dug her nails into her arms, the harder Sydney pulled on her hair.
Lyra felt that her scalp might be torn apart soon, and she was screaming in pain.
"Why wouldn't I dare to hit you? Who do you think you are? You want to push me and hurt my child. I only hit you for self-defense. Even if you call the police, I have a valid reason to protect myself," Sydney said and pulled on Lyra's hair harder.
Sydney purposely said that her child's father was Julien, and also made up the entire matter about trying to reconcile with Julien. She wanted to provoke Lyra so Lyra would attack her. This way, she could have a reason to fight back and get Lyra's hair.
Although this method was risky, and she might get hurt, she had to do it so no one would suspect that she was going for Lyra’s hair. Fortunately, Sydney was prepared for Lyra's attack and managed to dodge it.
Lyra was in so much pain that she was tearing up. She looked at Sydney viciously and said, "Let go of me!" "No!” Sydney looked into her eyes and sneered.
