Chapter 211 Test
"Don't be angry. Have a seat." Finn pulled out a chair for her.
Lyra dumped her bag on the table heavily. "How can I not be angry? You could've killed Sydney today. As long as she's dead, all my problems will be gone, but you..."
"Julien was in the hospital." Finn interrupted her.
Lyra froze. "What? Julien was in the hospital?"
"Yes. He was right outside Sydney's operating room and saw me enter the room. Think about it. Since I was the one operating on Sydney, don't you think Julien would be suspicious and order an investigation if Sydney lost her life?" Finn pushed his glasses and looked at her.
Lyra bit her lip. "That's true. You couldn't kill Sydney in that circumstance, but you could've gotten rid of the child in her belly. Why didn't you do that either?"
She looked at Finn angrily.
Finn poured her a glass of water. "There's no need to rush. You have more than enough opportunities. Don't you trust me?"
"I'm just afraid that if I delay it too long, Julien will acknowledge that child and remarry Sydney." Lyra clenched her fists.
Finn's mouth curled in a mocking arc. "I think you're worrying too much. Julien isn’t like Sydney. He knows that the child in her belly is his, but he went all the way to the operating room today to wait for her operation. It's clear that he's not fond of the child either, so your fears won't come true."
"Better safe than sorry. Don't forget what I told you before. The person Julien truly loves is Sydney," Lyra said in a low voice.
Finn's eyes flashed. "Come to think of it, I've never asked you why you're so afraid of Sydney. She already divorced Julien. From the looks of it, she won't have anything to do with him again. Even if Julien loves her, he doesn't know it himself, so there's no way he'll rekindle the relationship with Sydney. What exactly are you afraid of?"
Lyra's eyes flashed with guilt when she heard those words, and she said with some displeasure, "That's none of your business."
She could not tell anyone about her taking Sydney's identity to pose as Julien's pen pal, especially to
Julien and Finn.
If she said it, there was no telling if Finn would suspect that she also impersonated his savior.
"Is that so? Since you don't want to tell me, then forget it." Finn shrugged as if he was not interested anymore. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
Lyra was just about to sigh in relief when she heard him ask, "By the way, do you still remember the first
time we met?"
Lyra's eyes panicked. "Why are you suddenly asking that?"
"Nothing. I was just reminiscing." Finn picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea, smiling.
Lyra was furious.
'Why is a grown man like him reminiscing for no reason?
'He's sick in the head!'
Although that was what she thought, she kept a smile on her face and opened her mouth to reply, "It's when I saved you, of course."
Finn tapped his fingers on the table and did not respond.
Lyra's heart instantly dropped. She almost could not maintain the smile on her face.
She clenched her fists, suppressing the panic inside and trying to make her voice sound natural. "Am I wrong?"
Seven years ago was the first time they met, but he very excitedly told her that he finally found her.
She said that she did not know him, but he said it was fine if she did recognize him since it was only the second time they met. In that case, the first time was definitely when his real benefactor saved him. Thus, there was no way she was wrong.
Finn suddenly smiled. "Of course, you're right. The first time we met was when you saved me."
He deliberately emphasized the words “saved me".
Lyra did not hear anything odd and was deeply relieved.
Just then, Finn continued, "Then, do you still remember where you saved me?"
Lyra's heart, which had just relaxed, instantly dropped again. She was so angry that she wanted to kill someone.
However, more than that, she was nervous and terrified.
'What does he mean by that? Why is he suddenly asking that?
'Could it be that he knows I'm not the one who saved him? Is he testing me?'
When Lyra thought of that possibility, her face turned pale and she panicked, not knowing what to do.
She could not answer Finn's question.
She had no idea where his real savior saved him, let alone what his savior saved him from. He had never told her before either. How was she supposed to answer?
However, if she did not answer, it was the same as telling him that she did not know.
After thinking about it, Lyra finally gave him the safest answer. "I'm sorry, Finn. I forgot."
She just said that she forgot, not that she did not know.
Thus, he would not be able to tell if she was lying or not, right?
Just as Lyra's heart grew more tense, Finn smiled. "It's okay. It was more than ten years ago, so it's normal if you forgot. After all, you were still very young."
Lyra sighed softly when she saw that he did not doubt her.
It seemed like she made the right move.
Then, she pulled Finn's arm. "Finn, tell me where we first met. I won't forget this time."
"Sure." Finn lowered his eyelids, covering the coldness in his eyes. "The first time we met was in an amusement park. I couldn't walk after falling and hurting myself. Some traffickers came over and tried to take me, but you appeared in time and scared them away."
So, that was it.
Lyra's eyes narrowed for a moment and she suddenly slapped her thigh. "Oh, I remember now. Yes, the first time we met was in an amusement park. I don't know where I got the guts to go up against the traffickers back then. Thinking about it now, it was quite scary." "You were very brave." Finn smiled faintly, but there was no trace of laughter in his eyes. His gaze was full of gloom and mockery.
He casually made up a story, but she took it seriously.
Sure enough, a fake was a fake.
Lyra saw that Finn had the same smile as usual and was completely relieved.
It seemed like he did not suspect her of being an imposter, and the reason why he asked that question was because he was reminiscing about the past.
Otherwise, he would have exposed her immediately. He would not have let her continue pretending.
At that thought, Lyra picked up the cup in front of her, took a big gulp of water, stood up, and offered her farewell. "Finn, urn, I have to go see Julien. I'll go now."
She could not stay any longer. It would be a problem if he asked more questions that she could not answer. After all, she could not brush the question away every time.
"Sure." Finn also stood up and nodded in agreement.
Lyra hurriedly left.
Finn watched as she left. When her figure disappeared outside the room, the smile on his face fell. The coldness in his expression was frightening.
"Lyra Madden, how dare you impersonate my angel? I'll make your life worse than death!" Finn's voice was sinister as he murmured.
It was true that he was also at fault for misidentifying his angel. However, Lyra should know that she had never saved him before.
Despite that, she did not deny it and shamelessly posed as his angel, peacefully enjoying the things he did for him. Just this point was enough for him to decide that he would not let her off.
Looking at the teacup that Lyra drank from, Finn smiled wickedly.
Then, he took out his phone and sent a message to Sydney.
When Sydney saw the contents of the message, her brows knitted up.
