Hunter looked at Sydney.
Sydney shook her head. "I don't know either."
She was also confused.
Luke also hurriedly said, "Yeah, Darling. We could tell that Finn was serious. He also said that he'd throw all those who hurt you into hell. Lyra hurt you before. In other words, will he try to lay a hand on Lyra? But isn't he one of Lyra's people?"
Sydney frowned and remained silent.
Hunter asked, "By the way, why did Finn hug you?"
"Isn't it obvious? He must've taken a fancy to my darling's beauty," Luke said angrily.
Then, he thought of something and slapped his thigh.' I got it. He said he'd protect my darling because he has a crush on her!"
Sydney and Hunter rolled their eyes at the same time when they heard these words.
"How is that possible?" Hunter was speechless. "If Finn had feelings for Sydney, he would've had them long before Sydney entered the operating room. Why would he wait until now?"
Sydney nodded. "That's right. I could feel that Finn hugged me out of excitement. It's the kind of excitement where you find someone important. It's like how friends who haven't seen each other for years won't be able to resist hugging each other when they see each other again."
"Now that you mention it, I remember." Hunter suddenly widened his eyes.
Sydney and Hunter looked at him. "What did you remember?"
Hunter said, "Did you forget what Finn said to Sydney? 'You're still as kind as before.' He said 'before ', which makes it clear that he knew Sydney from a long time ago and only just remembered now."
"Maybe..." Sydney straightened her body and subconsciously touched the red mole on her wrist.
Luke quickly asked, "Did you think of something, Darling?"
Sydney hummed. "After you guys went out, Finn asked me how I got this mole. Then, he asked me if I had saved a little boy when I was ten years old. It seems that little boy was him."
When she was ten years old, she took out her mother's picture on the anniversary of her death, but her stepmother became furious over it and beat her up. She ran away from home in sadness and went to her mother's favorite park.
Then, she heard someone crying for help in the park. When she went over, she saw a little boy around the same age as her had fallen into the water. At that time, she did not have time to think and looked for a stick to save the little boy. Of course, she did not save him easily. Since she was too small and her strength was limited, she almost fell into the pond with him. Fortunately, the incident ended well.
She never expected that the little boy back then was Finn.
Hunter and Luke were suddenly enlightened after listening to her words.
"So, that's it. It turns out that you're Finn's benefactor. It's no wonder he hugged you in excitement and wanted to protect you." Hunter touched his chin.
Luke scoffed. "Even if that's what he said, I don't believe that he'll deal with Lyra for Darling's sake."
Hunter nodded. "That’s true. He's very good to Lyra. It's like he'd do anything for her."
Sydney smiled. "What are you two worried about? I'm not close to Finn at all. Even if I saved him before, I never thought of him repaying me before, and I certainly don't need him to repay me now. I don't intend to befriend him either, so what he does has nothing to do with me."
"That's true." The two men nodded.
After that, Sydney did not stay in the hospital for long and was discharged.
As soon as she left, Julien received the news.
"All right." Julien hung up the phone and called Zach up.
"President Flint, what are your orders?" Zach came in and asked.
Julien rubbed his temples. "I asked you to summarize all the loans that Skylight borrowed from banks. Is it done?"
"Yes, Sir. The combined loan from several banks is 180 million. Including interest, it's 230 million," Zach replied.
Julien nodded slightly. "Repay them for Skylight. Use the overseas account."
That way, Sydney would not suspect that he helped her pay it back.
This money was his compensation to her. He originally intended to give it to her after today. Although she did not want him to be responsible, he had to take responsibility.
Although the child in her belly was still around, she would still abort it when her body got better, so he gave her the money as he originally planned.
