Greta acted like a psychopath. Her sudden onset was quite frightening.

Sydney released Greta's jaw and stepped back in fear, as if it were infectious.

Julien stood up and protected her in the back, so as to avoid Sydney falling or banging her head.

He wouldn't want to see her suffer any harm.

"Use this." Julien handed Sydney a handkerchief from his pocket. He reminded Sydney to wipe her hand.

Sydney nodded in appreciation for Julien. "You know me well enough that I was going to look for something to clean my hands with."

The handkerchief was handed to Sydney before she could reach for her purse.

Julien replied with a contended smile, "We were born to be a couple. You don't need to say anything. Only with one look, or one move, I can always understand what's in your mind and what you want." Furthermore, as long as it was something Sydney wanted, he would have it prepared and present it to her immediately.

Sydney was moved by Julien.

After wiping her hands with the handkerchief, she extended her arms to hug Julien.

Julien didn't expect her response. He paused for a second and hugged Sydney.

The fact that Greta was present didn't bother them.

Greta would have been satirizing them in normal circumstances.

But this time, Greta was in total madness. She laughed crazily and mumbled every now and then.

She spoke too fast and was disorganized. No one could understand what she said and only found her horrifying.

To be brief, Greta acted like a complete psychopath.

Sydney stopped hugging and stared at Greta with knitted eyebrows. She talked to Julien seriously, "I think she's not pretending."

Julien agreed by grunting.

He also observed that Greta was not pretending.

Sydney bit her lips for a while and said, "She acted like that after saying her hatred towards me was much more than that. What do you think she meant by saying that? Could there be any ties between us? Yet I have never met her."

Julien advised Sydney, lowering his head to look at her, "Don't think too much. She was ill. Maybe that's all a delusion."

Sydney nodded. "It never occurred to me that she could have mental diseases, but that makes sense."

Sydney then turned around to take a glance at Greta. "Maybe she had some special experience."

"No matter what she had experienced, it's none of our business. She can't have a talk. Let's get outside." Julien gripped Sydney's hand to give a sign. Sydney nodded. Julien took her hand and led her outside.

Sydney halted when she got to the door.

Noticing her hesitation, Julien also stopped and turned back to ask her, "Why?"

Sydney didn't respond. She shook her head and then looked back at Greta.

After they left, Greta remained the same. She lowered her head and mumbled, occasionally with sharp and strange laughters. It was quite terrifying.

Seeing Greta's craziness, Julien narrowed his eyes in distaste. He held the back of Sydney's head and turned her face around. "Don't let her ruin your mood. Forget about her." Sydney responded, "Come on. I'm curious. I haven't met any mental patients before."

"Never?" asked Julien.

"Have I?" Sydney was perplexed by his question. "When? Why did I not get an impression at that time?"

"Cayden was, wasn't he?"

"Come on. No, he's not," Sydney said, replaceing him funny yet annoying. "Cayden doesn't have any mental diseases. His problem is dissociative identity disorder."

"To some extent, dissociative identity disorder is a kind of mental disease. It's a symptom of schizophrenia." Julien took his time explaining to Sydney.

Sydney rolled her eyes and cut the conversation off. Reminded of Cayden, she was kind of concerned.

It had been months since she had last met Cayden.

When she last spoke to Cayden, his core personality wasn't in charge of his body. Instead, the secondary personality dominated.

It had been a long time since the last time they talked, and she wondered if Cayden's core personality had awakened and taken control.

Maybe not, she guessed.

Sharon hadn't called Sydney since then, which indicated what the situation was.

If Caydon's core personality woke up, Sharon must have told her.

"What are you thinking about?" Julien turned around and stood in front of Sydney after noticing she was walking slower and slower and seemed to be thinking about something. Sydney rubbed her forehead and replied, "I'm thinking about Cayden."

Julien got dissatisfied immediately. "Why?"

Sydney felt amused. "You mentioned him first. If it's not you, I almost forget that I haven't contacted Cayden for a long time."

Julien opened his mouth but finally said nothing.

It seemed like Sydney was right. Julien asked for it himself.

Julien seemed to regret it and looked awful.

Sydney chuckled and gave in after observing Julien's face. "All right, let's stop this and go meet our lawyer immediately. Let's skip Cayden." Sydney brought up something else.

Then Julien started to look a little better.

He understood that it was Sydney's concession.

He therefore followed her suggestion.

When Julien and Sydney arrived, they found Greta's lawyer in the police station's lobby. He was on the phone at the time.

Sydney overheard Greta's lawyer appear to be respectful to the person he was speaking to, but Sydney could tell he wasn't from the look on his face.

Sensing someone else was staring at him, Greta's lawyer raised his head and met Sydney's gaze.

Sydney hadn't expected him to be so watchful. After a short pause, she smiled to greet him with a nod. She didn't appear to be embarrassed. After all, looking at him was not unusual in any way. She wasn't acting improperly.

Sydney believed it was reasonable.

Sydney greeted Greta's lawyer, but he didn't answer straight away. He checked on Julien, who was standing next to her.

Greta's lawyer then smiled politely back at her after observing that Julien didn't seem to be expressing any anger.

"Let's go take a seat. He will come later." Julien pointed to the sofa while holding her hand.

Sydney jokingly asked as she followed him, "Aren't you jealous this time?"

She bet that Julien noticed that she had observed that lawyer and had greeted him.

However, to Sydney's surprise, Julien didn't overreact this time.

It's unusual for Julien. Julien was the crazy-jealous type. Julien would react strongly even if Sydney only gave another man a second glance. Sydney was really interested as to why Julien wasn't this time.
