Julien felt annoyed the moment he saw that the call was from Luke.
But when he heard Sydney's words, he became happy immediately.
'Since Sydney tells me who calls her, she doesn't want me to misunderstand her, though she doesn't notice it herself.'
"Answer his call." Julien began to walk slowly. "He must have read the news of Lyra's suicide, so he calls you."
"I think so, too." Nodding, Sydney answered the call and turned on the amplifier.
As expected, Luke’s loud voice came from the end of the phone. "Darling, have you read the news on the Internet? Lyra has committed suicide. Is it true?"
"Yes, it's true," Sydney replied. "The police have informed me that Lyra did jump out of a window to commit suicide. I'm at the scene now."
"What?" Luke gasped. "She has really committed suicide! I thought it was fake news deliberately fabricated by the media to grab people’s attention. I didn't expect Lyra to commit suicide!"
"Yes. No one expected it." Sydney rubbed her brows.
Luke asked again, "Darling, how is the situation at the scene?"
Hearing Luke call Sydney "Darling", Julien frowned heavily.
'It seems that I have to meet Luke and ask him not to call Sydney "Darling" anymore.’ Sydney didn't notice that Julien became annoyed. She answered, "The police are still investigating the reason why Lyra committed suicide."
"Well, then I’ll go to accompany you," Luke said.
Julien pressed his lips.
Seeing Julien’s expression, Sydney shook her head and said, "Don’t bother. Julien is with me, so you don't have to come to me."
Hearing this, Julien raised his lips.
Seeing his change, Sydney felt amused somehow and gave a smile.
But Luke became unhappy and asked in a louder voice, "What? Julien is with you? It's so late. Why are you with him?"
"Grandma asked him to take me back. I have drunk wine in the evening and can't drive. Later, I answered a call from the police who told me that Lyra had committed suicide. So, I came to the scene with him."
When Sydney saw the elevator in front, she added, "Well, I'm going into the elevator. Lye."
Then she hung up and walked into the elevator.
Seeing her come in, Julien put down his hand that was holding the elevator door. " Why didn't you tell him that the person who committed suicide wasn't the real Lyra?"
"It's unnecessary." Sydney shook her head. "Only you, Finn and I knew that the person who committed suicide wasn't Lyra. At present, even the police don't know about it. And the fewer people who know about it, the better. After Finn identifies the body, the police will know about it. Then they will definitely block the news and ask us not to spread it. So, it is unnecessary to tell Luke about it."
"You are quite thoughtful," Julien praised.
Sydney smiled. "Thank you."
Thinking of something, Julian stared at her with affectionate eyes. "I felt very happy just now."
"Huh?" Sydney became stunned. "Why?"
Smiling, Julien didn't explain.
Sydney tilted her head, feeling that his words were weird.
But since he didn't want to explain, she wouldn't force him.
Soon, they arrived at the identification room.
Finn was still in the identification room and had not come out yet.
When Sydney and Julien arrived, there was only Jase waiting outside the identification room, who was pacing anxiously up and down.
"Hello, Mr. Joyce." Sydney greeted him.
