Finn suddenly opened his eyes. A dark light glimmered in his eyes as he pulled open the drawer and took out his cell phone.
When the screen lit up, it showed several missed calls from Lyra, Layden, and Sydney.
He ignored Lyra's calls and dialed Sydney's number.
Sydney had not rested yet. She was waiting for Finn to call her.
She planned to call at 11:00 PM since she estimated that his operation would be finished by then.
Unexpectedly, Finn called when it was only half-past ten.
Sydney looked at the name Finn James on her screen, and her face lit up. She hurriedly answered the call, "Is your operation over?"
"Yeah, it's over." Finn nodded, his voice hoarse with a hint of exhaustion. "Is there anything I can do for you?"
Sydney heard the fatigue in his voice and felt a little sorry for disturbing him so late.
However, to clear the false accusations regarding herself, she had no choice but to disturb him.
"There is, actually. Give me a moment. I'll use another phone to contact you." After saying that, she hung up the phone and called him back using the anonymous number she told Sophie to get for her in the afternoon.
Luke said that her calls might be monitored by the police so they could find Cayden, so she had to be careful.
Finn raised his brows in confusion. "Why did you change your number?"
"It's for reasons I can’t say, but that's not important. What’s important is..." Sydney took a deep breath and told him everything that happened today.
When Finn finished listening, he squeezed his phone tightly. His expression was dark and terrifying.
'How dare Lyra Madden do that?!
'She must not want to continue living anymore!'
"All right. I'll post the evidence online later to prove your innocence. You’ll be fine.
Trust me," Finn’s glasses glinted as he said earnestly.
Sydney nodded. "Okay, I trust you."
Only he had the evidence now.
Thus, she had no choice but to trust him.
"But don't use your main account to upload it. The police will suspect that you did that to Lyra." Sydney thought about it and reminded him.
In any case, although she knew that Finn was not a good person, she did not want him to go to jail.
After all, Finn dealt with Lyra for her.
Everyone had their selfishness, and she admitted that she was not a saint either, so she did not want anything to happen to Finn.
Finn's lips twitched up when he heard her reminder. He replied in a warm voice, "I know. I’ll use a throwaway account." 'Sure enough, she's my angel. She's my angel who cares about me.'
He was born cold and lacked empathy for others. Thus, his parents regarded him as a monster, and other adults and children also rejected him. To bully him, the kids even pushed him into a pond Many adults saw it happen, but no one was willing to save him. Only she reached out and gave him a hand.
From that moment on, he vowed that he would protect her for the rest of his life. He also wanted to prove a point to the people who treated him as a monster. Even if he had no empathy and was born a coldblooded person, he could still have feelings for someone else.
However, he knew very well that what he felt for Sydney was not platonic love, friendship, or romantic love. It was an emotion he could not describe, but one day, he would find out what this feeling was.
At the other end of the phone, Sydney hummed when she heard that Finn would use a throwaway account to publish the evidence and hung up the phone.
Finn stared at the phone for a while before calling Layden.
Layden quickly answered, "You finally showed up."
