Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!

Chapter 245 She's the Cure

After saying that, the pain immediately subsided.

Julien lowered his head slightly to cover the rage in his eyes.

Sure enough, that would not be the last time the situation happened. After this time, he learned that he had to make Lyra happy when she was in a bad mood or satisfy her when she wanted something. If he did not do that, he would be punished by pain, which felt like his heart was being squeezed. It was no different from being a marionette on a string!

"Thank you, Julien. You're the best." Lyra did not notice anything strange about Julien and said with an embarrassed smile.

Since Julien had returned to the way he was before the car accident, Lyra thought it meant that they had made up.

Julien lowered his eyes to suppress the thought of destroying everything and remained silent.

At that moment, the manager who just left came back with a doctor.

"Sirs and Ma'ams, please let the doctor check on you and see where you're hurt." The manager hurriedly said to Sydney and the others. However, he was secretly screaming in his heart.

What was going on? Earlier, the gentleman with the cane almost died a sudden death, and now, the chandelier above suddenly fell. More importantly, the chandelier was above the same man.

'Is that man with crutches some kind of jinx who brings bad luck wherever he goes?"

"Doctor, please have a look at Sydney first." Layden hurriedly pulled the doctor to Sydney.

Suddenly, Lyra looked around and said, "Ms. Raines, can you wait for a moment?"

"What do you mean? You want the doctor to check on you first?" Layden's expression darkened, and his eyes looked at her gloomily.

Julien also frowned as a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.

Ever since he knew that he did not love Lyra but had to treat her well and protect her - or he would have to suffer 'punishment' - he had slowly become disgusted with her.

"Yes. Ms. Raines only hurt her arm, but I hurt my face, so-"

"Cut the bullsh*t!" For the first time, Layden could not hold back his anger and exploded. "So what if you cut your face? Is your injury worse than Sydney's?"

Layden pointed to Sydney's arm, which was still bleeding. He really wanted to strangle Lyra to death.

Lyra bit her lip. "Even if Ms. Raines' injury is more serious than mine, if the wound on my face isn't treated as soon as possible, it'll leave a scar. Even if Ms. Raines' injury on her arm leaves a scar, she can hide it behind a sleeve. Ms. Raines, you're a kind person. You wouldn’t want me to get a scar, right?"

"No, I'm very malicious. I want your face to be scarred. In fact, not only do I want your face to be scarred, but I also want it to get infected and rot away!" Sydney said in a cold and icy tone.

Lyra's eyes widened in disbelief. "Ms. Raines, you-"

"Enough!" Julien could not help but raise his voice in an unsightly expression. "Let Sydney get treated first."

"Julien..."

"Let Sydney get treated first!" Julien stared at Lyra and repeated.

No one knew how much pain he was enduring at that moment. His heart hurt so much that it was about to explode. The voice in his head was urging him to grab the doctor and make him check on Lyra first. Just ignore Sydney and let her be in pain. Let her be sad.

However, why?

Why should he do as he was told? Why should he let Sydney be in pain?

At most, that mysterious power manipulating him could kill him off for all he cared. Maybe that way, he would finally be free.

Yes, at that moment, Julien finally understood that there was a mysterious force controlling him to love Lyra and be good to her.

Perhaps he had never loved Lyra before, and the love he thought he had before was just an illusion created by that force, making him think that he loved her.

Now, he did not think that he would fall in love with Lyra. The person he loved was the sunny and cheerful pen pal, Maple Leaf. Lyra's character and conduct were different from Maple Leaf's. It was impossible for her character and conduct to change completely after being in a coma for six years, so the only explanation was that Lyra was not actually Maple Leaf.

That was a loophole that could be realized at a glance, but he had never noticed it before. Was that normal? He was quite sure that it was not.

It was the force that blinded him, deliberately preventing him from discovering that Lyra was not Maple Leaf.

He did not know why that force wanted to protect Lyra, but it did not matter. If that force wanted to manipulate him, he would fight it to the end.

"Ugh..." Julien grunted in pain. The next second, he suddenly could not remain standing and fell to one knee on the ground, his face full of pain.

Everyone was shocked when they saw that.

What was wrong with him this time?

Why was he like this again?

Sydney pursed her red lips in confusion. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

'He looks like he's in a lot of pain. Does he really have some sort of illness I'm unaware of?'

"Julien." Lyra wanted to help Julien up.

However, Julien slapped her hand away.

As a result, he was left with only one hand to brace on the table, but he could no longer hold up his body and fell to the ground. The direction he was facing just so happened to be where Sydney was.

When Sydney saw his body approaching, she subconsciously stretched out her uninjured hand and held him up.

Unexpectedly, the moment Julien came into contact with her, the sharp pain in his heart actually lessened.

He raised his head in shock to look at Sydney.

He was sure that the pain stopped the moment Sydney touched him.

In other words... She could be the key to him breaking free from that mysterious power. She might even be the cure!

At that thought, Julien was delighted.

He raised his hand and held Sydney's tightly as if he wanted to melt into her palm.

The moment he did so, the pain in his heart eased even more. It grew fainter and fainter until he almost could not feel it anymore.

"Let go of me!" Sydney felt weirded out when Julien grabbed her hand and looked at her with burning eyes. She did not understand what was wrong with him.

Seemingly not hearing, Julien continued to hold her hand.

Layden s expression darkened, and Lyra's face was also distorted.

To the side, the manager and doctor who saw the scene were even more puzzled.

Just who were a couple among those four people?

Their relationship was too messy!

For a moment, the atmosphere was very strange and quiet.

It was not until the doctor put down the scissors that the strange atmosphere was broken. "Alright. The lady's wound has been bandaged. Be careful not to let it come in contact with water for 24 hours and change the medication on time so it’ll leave no scar.

"Okay, I got it. Thank you, Doctor." Sydney smiled at the doctor, indicating that she had noted his advice. Then, she looked at Julien unhappily. "Can you let go already? How long are you planning to hold my hand?"

"Let go of her!" Cayden went forward and pried apart Julien's hand from Sydney's.

Julien thought that his heart would hurt again after they separated.

Unexpectedly, that did not happen.

It seemed like as long as the pain was relieved after touching Sydney, it would not hurt again after he separated from her.

"Julien..." Lyra's soft and weak voice rang out again.

Julien held the table and stood up with a cold face. " Doctor, please have a look at her."

"Of course." The doctor nodded.

Lyra said, "Julien, I'm a little scared. Can you hold me?"

A sneer flashed in Julien's eyes.

'Sydney's wound was so large, and she didn't even cry out in pain. Meanwhile, your wound is just a scratch, yet you say it hurts and put on such a pretentious act. It's disgusting.'

"Okay." Julien lowered his eyes and agreed with Lyra.

He knew that if he did not agree, his heart might hurt again.

Even though Sydney was right beside him and he could immediately relieve the pain, if he did that on purpose, it would obviously arouse her resentment. Sydney did not know that he was trying to relieve the pain and would only think he was deliberately taking advantage of her. The cons outweigh the gains. Later on, he would think of how to remain in contact with

Sydney while fighting against that mysterious force.
