Sydney suddenly remembered that Julien stayed in the police station even after she left with Layden.

Did he stay and interfere with this matter?

Did he make the police officers increase the punishment for Kate and Felix?

Sydney pursed her lips and decided to give Julien a call.

In the Flint Mansion, Julien was in the middle of a video conference when his phone rang and interrupted him. He was rather upset at first, but when he saw that it was Sydney who called, the displeasure on his expression disappeared into a trance. Instead, he was pleasantly surprised.

She called him first!

Julien held his phone and did not pick it up right away. He spoke into his camera instead, "Pause the meeting for a short while. I need to take this."

After saying that, he went to the balcony under everyone's surprised gaze.

"It was President Flint himself who set the rule of not picking up phone calls in the middle of a meeting, right?"

"Yes, and he broke the rule himself."

"Who do you think called?"

"Who knows? From the way he was smiling, it must be someone he likes."

Julien did not know that the people he left behind in the meeting were talking about him. On the balcony, he answered Sydney's call, "What's the matter?"

His voice was hoarse and gentle, exceptionally pleasant to the ear.

Sydney suddenly felt rather uncomfortable and put some distance between the phone and her ear. She rubbed her ears before placing the phone next to her ear once again. Her face was cold as she asked, "Did you increase Kate Morgan's punishment?"

She called him because of this.

Julien's happiness disappeared in an instant. He lowered his gaze and said, "It's me."

He admitted it directly and it made Sydney at a loss. She asked, "Why? Why did you do that? This matter has nothing to do with you."

"I know. I just wanted to do something for you," Julien replied.

Sydney's eyes widened. "Do something... for me?" "Yes." Julien nodded.

Sydney smiled, and it was filled with irony. "President Flint, don't you think it's too late for that? I might be touched if you do this before the divorce, but now that you did it, I just replace it ridiculous!"

She added mockingly, "Do you know? In the past six years, do you know how many expectations I have of you? When your mother and brother bullied me, I wanted you to stand by my side and speak up for me. When everyone in the social circle laughed at me for being Mrs. Flint, I wanted you to show up and give me a hand. Did you do that? Not even once! You never fulfilled your duty as a husband, so why are you telling me that you want to do something for me now? What's the use of it? You are only making yourself look pretentious!"

When Julien heard her complaints, he felt as though his heart had been stabbed repeatedly by a knife, and it was throbbing hard. He even found it hard to breathe. His hand holding the phone was trembling. "I'm sorry..." Julien apologized with his face pale.

He admitted that he had never done anything for her.

He owed her a great deal.

"You don't have to apologize, because I don't care anymore." Sydney sucked in a deep breath and changed the topic. Her voice was cold as she continued," Regarding Kate Morgan, it's my matter so you don't have to get involved. Let the police decide on the punishment themselves. I'm begging you, President Flint, to withdraw all your special arrangements with the police. Thank you!'

After saying that, she hung up.

Julien put down his phone.

He lowered his head and looked at the wallpaper on his main screen. Unknown emotions were written all over his face. After a short moment, he kept his phone and returned to his study.

At the same time, in the hospital.

After two days, Lyra finally woke up.

Mrs. Madden was so happy that there were tears in her eyes. She quickly pressed Lyra back onto the bed when she wanted to sit up. "Lyra, don't move. Lie back down." "Mom..." Lyra looked at her mother weakly, her voice hoarse. "Mom, how am I right now?'

She felt pain all over her body, especially in her lower parts. She even found it hard to move.

She was suddenly afraid that she was paralyzed.

Mrs. Madden was reluctant to speak.

When Lyra saw that, she understood that her condition must have been bad.

She stretched out her hands and gripped Mrs. Madden's arms. She was agitated when she asked, "Mom, tell me. Am I paralyzed? Tell me!"

Mrs. Madden was in pain from Lyra's nails and quickly withdrew herself. "No, you're not paralyzed."

"Then why do I feel nothing from my waist down?" Lyra roared, her eyeballs almost popping out of their socket. With her twisted expression, she looked as terrifying as a monster.

Mrs. Madden was shocked and unconsciously took one step backward. ' The doctor gave you some medicine, that's why you can't feel from your waist down. He did it to prevent you from moving around when you wake up. When the effect of the medicine disappears, you'll feel something again."

"Really?" Lyra looked at her with hopeful eyes.

Mrs. Madden nodded. "Really. Why would I lie to you?"

She patted Lyra's head.

Lyra could tell that Mrs. Madden was not lying and heaved a breath of relief. She smiled with tears in her eyes. "That's great then. That's great."

She was not paralyzed.

Such an arrogant person could never accept it if she had flaws in her body.

"Mom, then why did the doctor give me medicine to kill my senses from the waist down?" Lyra stared at Mrs. Madden and asked.

Mrs. Madden sighed and started crying." Those scumbags! Those scumbags destroyed your lower body, and even your uterus... You can't get pregnant anymore after this!"

It was as though a bomb had landed on Lyra. She felt dizzy and her entire world was spinning.

Could not get pregnant anymore...

Then how could she marry Julien? How could she give birth to his child?

A woman who could not get pregnant anymore was considered disabled!

Her entire life was ruined!

"AHHHHHHH!" Lyra screamed her heart out, as though she had gone completely mad. Her face was twisted horribly and the hatred in her eyes could kill someone.

"Sydney Raines! Sydney Raines!" Lyra gripped the bedsheet and her entire body was trembling. She repeated the name over and over again, the maliciousness in her voice enough to make people who heard her shudder in fear.

Mrs. Madden tried to suppress her fear and asked, "Lyra, what's up with Sydney?"

"Mom, it was Sydney! I became like this because of her!" Lyra looked at Mrs. Madden and screamed.

"What?" Mrs. Madden covered her mouth in dismay.

Brandon heard that Lyra woke up and rushed to the hospital from Trison Corporation. Just when he reached her door, he heard that it was Sydney who did this to her.

His expression changed and he quickly walked into the room. "Lyra, are you telling the truth? Did Sydney really do this to you?'

A flash of guilt appeared in Lyra's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. "It's her! It's her! She lured me to North Shore Avenue and got someone to kidnap me to a warehouse... Dad, you have to take revenge for me! And those six men! I want them dead! I want them to suffer and beg for death!"

Brandon nodded with a gloomy expression. His face was filled with the determination to avenge his daughter. "Don't worry, Dad will take revenge for you!"
