When he received her letter that said she wanted to confess to the person she liked, his heart was stimulated and he was admitted to the hospital after a sudden heart attack. Half a month later, he barely mustered enough energy to write back to her, asking her to meet him. He wanted to tell her the truest thoughts in his heart.
It just so happened that at that time, the hospital said there was a suitable heart for him. Now that he knew that he could continue living, he was determined to confess to her. Of course, he could not do that without a heart and disturbing her. After all, he was a dying man.
The day she received his letter and called him, it happened to be the day of his surgery. After the surgery, he recuperated for a month and could finally get out of bed.
Then, he told Zach to push him to the meeting place, where Lyra was waiting.
Since he had never seen what Maple Leaf looked like and Lyra just so happened to mention a few things they said in their letters, he believed that she was Maple Leaf.
Sydney understood Julien’s words and widened her eyes in shock. "You’re saying that Lyra impersonated me to meet with you?"
"Yes." Julien nodded. "Six years ago, I made an appointment with you at 10 in the morning, but the one who came was Lyra."
"No, you clearly said to meet at 2 PM. I waited from noon till evening, but you never came!" Sydney stared at him closely.
Julien frowned. "When did I say 2 PM? I remember very clearly that I said 10 AM in the phone call six years ago."
"Yes, you said 10 AM, but on the morning of the meeting, you sent a message saying that you couldn't go in the morning, and changed the time to 2 PM.” Sydney clenched her fists.
"I never sent you any message that day," Julien replied.
Sydney shook her head. "That's impossible. Sunny told me you sent a text message."
"Someone else told you?" Julien narrowed his eyes. "You mean you didn't see the message with your own eyes?"
Sydney hummed. "Yeah..."
Looking at the man's darkening expression, she more or less realized that she was cheated back then!
Julien did not send a text message. It was something Sunny fabricated out of thin air to prevent her from meeting him in the morning.
As for why Sunny would do that, Sydney already guessed the reason. It was to help Lyra!
When she was still in her freshman and sophomore year, Buddy and her were still in correspondence. Everyone in the dorm knew about it and even laughed at her for this reason. What kind of era were they living in? They were still using letters to communicate with each other?
Lyra was one of them. She even peeked at her letters with Buddy without permission. However, when Sydney found out, Lyra did not feel ashamed at all and even beat around the bush to ask her about Buddy. Sydney did not think much about it at that time, but thinking back on it now, Lyra might have already known that Buddy was Julien. That was why she pretended to be Sydney to meet him.
At that thought, Sydney's eyes suddenly reddened in anger and hatred.
She never thought that a person could be so shameless!
When Julien saw her body trembling with anger, he reached out and tried to soothe her.
However, Sydney slapped his hand away indifferently.
Julien looked at his hand that reddened from being slapped, and his eyes dimmed for a moment.
She still had not forgiven him...
He put down his hand. "Now, do you understand why I said I always loved you, not Lyra?"
Sydney's eyes flashed and she said nothing.
Julien looked at her, feeling a little nervous.
He did not know how she would reply.
Would she believe him?
