The three people saw in the monitoring that Sydney and Luke entered the hot spring an hour and a half ago, but Sydney never came out.
That meant that Sydney should still be in the hot spring.
"I'll go and have a look!" Luke said and dashed to the door.
Lyra looked up at the man beside her and asked in a gentle voice, "Julien, we don't have to go, right?"
"We're going!" Julien frowned. "Luke suspects that Sydney's disappearance has something to do with you. If we want to dispel his suspicions, we have to go there. Let's go."
Lyra smiled faintly. "Okay, I'll listen to you."
When the two arrived at the entrance of the hot springs, Luke was negotiating with the doorman.
"Sir, I told you, the springs are closed now. There’s no one inside." The doorman stopped Luke from going in.
Luke scratched his head and was just about to say something when a scream sounded from inside, drawing several people's attention.
They saw a janitor running out from the inside with a frightened look, mumbling to herself as she ran.
The doorman grabbed her. "What’s wrong?"
The janitor’s voice trembled. "Dead... She's dead!"
"What?"
The crowd was stunned.
The janitor pointed inside with shaking hands." There's a woman dead in the women's bath!"
"Darling!" Luke's expression changed and he immediately rushed into the bath.
Julien and the doorman also hurried in.
Along the way, Julien's expression was tense and tight, and the aura emanating from his body was even more oppressive.
That woman was dead?
What kind of joke was that? Was it one of her pranks?
Julien ground his molars as his heart throbbed inexplicably, causing his breathing to grow disarrayed.
Lyra felt his emotional changes and hated Sydney in her heart. However, her eyes watered on the surface." Julien, how could Ms. Raines have met such an untimely death? She was still so young."
Her words were as if she was truly sorry and upset about Sydney’s death.
However, in a place where no one could see, the corners of her mouth curled up.
What great news.
If Sydney was dead, then Lyra would have nothing else to worry about.
They reached the shower room outside and opened the door, disregarding the large "No Men Allowed” words printed on the door. There, they saw Sydney lying on the ground with a growing puddle of blood under her head.
It took a while before Luke came to his senses. His steps were stiff as he walked toward Sydney.
Julien stood at the door. His hands subconsciously clenched as his gaze locked at Sydney's pale face.
It really was her!
She was dead!
At that moment, Julien felt as if he had lost something incredibly important. His heart ached and felt hollow.
Just then, Luke’s excited voice rang out. "She’s alive. My darling isn't dead. She's still breathing!"
What?
The curve on Lyra’s lips instantly froze and her eyes filled with disbelief.
Sydney was not dead?
Julien's pupils shook as he stared at Luke. "Are you sure?" "Absolutely. My darling is still alive.” Luke placed his finger under Sydney's nose and could clearly feel her faint breathing.
The doorman sighed in relief at the same time and looked at the janitor in displeasure. "What's wrong with you? Why did you say she was dead when she clearly isn't?"
