"Well. I'm kidding. Let's get down to business." Finn looked seriously at Sydney and continued, his hands in the pockets of his white overall, "What do you think about the red mole on your left wrist?"
"What can I think about my mole?" Sydney was confused.
The light reflected on the lenses of Finn's glasses. "Because I believe the real purpose of the attacker is to remove the mole on your wrist."
"What?" Sydney froze, "She wanted to remove the mole on my wrist?"
T think so. You haven't seen the injury on your wrist, but I have seen it. It's a circle, a bit larger than your mole, so I think the woman wanted to remove your mole, and that's why she knocked you out."
"Really?" Sydney touched her bandaged left wrist.
Finn walked closer to her. "So I am asking you what you think of the mole, or does it represent something, so she wanted to destroy it?"
Sydney's eyes dimmed. She was puzzled and shook her head, "I don't know. I was born with this red mole. What could it mean?"
If the mole meant anything, Sydney should know it herself.
Syndey couldn't figure out why the woman would want to remove her mole.
"Okay. It seems that your mole has a deep secret, so deep that you yourself don't even know it. But one thing I know for sure," Finn lifted a hand and rubbed his chin and continued, "is that your mole may have been a threat to someone, and that's why she was so eager to destroy it."
Finn came to this conclusion based on psychological analysis.
Except for this, he could not find any explanation. Why was a mole so important?
"Threat..." Sydney lowered her head and repeated the word quietly, her heart full of bitterness.
Wasn't it ironic? Now she had another enemy, but she didn't even know who it was.
She felt as if her existence was a threat to everyone, such as Lyra and the woman who had attacked her.
Before, she was a threat to Lyra, so Lyra wanted to kill her. Lyra thought that only if Sydney was dead could she be with Julien forever.
And now, even a mole on her body was a threat to others.
So what else in her would be a threat to others, her hair, or the dead skin on her body?
Finn could see Sydney was tired, so he adjusted the slope of her bed and reassured her, "Don’t worry! Although this person sees you as a threat, she doesn't want to take your life. Wouldn’t it be better if she just had you killed? But she just had your mole removed. I don’t think she'll do anything to you again. After all, the threat in you to her is no longer there. As for what the threat is, we’ll know when the police catch the woman. Okay. Get some sleep. Your concussion hasn't healed yet. You need more rest, or you'll feel nauseous later.
Sydney nodded her head slightly, "I know. Thanks.”
In fact, she was getting a little nauseous right now, and her head was dizzy.
Sydney closed her eyes, her head inclined slightly to the left. She soon fell asleep.
Hearing her breathing become steady, Finn went out.
In an urban village in the north of the city, some elderly villagers were sitting under a big tree whispering about the police officers and the black-clad bodyguards bustling in the neighborhood.
"Look, here comes another group. What do they do?" "I don't know. But there are police officers. I guess someone in our neighborhood had done something wrong, and they're here for him."
"Is it Jeff? I heard that Jeff beat up his wife last night and that the woman was taken to the hospital."
"I don't think so. If they were here for Jeff, they wouldn't need so many officers. A few officers would have been enough. Why would the bodyguards come? They look like gangsters. It seems to me that it should be some kind of escaped criminal running into our neighborhood."
The villagers chatted curiously.
At the roadside not far away, Clarice was sitting in a black Mercedes, watching the officers and bodyguards through the car window. She had a complicated look in her eyes.
The driver turned his head and asked," Miss Madden, aren't we going forward?"
"No, we'll just stop here." Clarice answered with a smile on her face.
