“You are the boss.” Julien opened his eyes slightly and replied in a low voice.
Sydney nodded, then picked up the anti-inflammatory ointment and began to apply it to the scratches on his back.
As she applied it, her fingers inevitably touched the stripes on his back.
Although those stripes were already healed, they still left lots of terrible, centipede-like scars on his back.
When Sydney looked at these scars, her eyes turned red with tears, “It was painful at that time, right?”
Julien knew what she had asked. He looked at the white sheets under his body and replied with a faint smile, “It’s all over. It was me who did lots of wrong things at that time. I’m such a dog, so I deserved to be punished.”
He did not answer whether he had been in pain or not.
After all, there was no point in answering this question. There were all scars on his back, so how could he not be in pain at that time?
Just because he was a man, he was ashamed to say that he was in pain. Otherwise, what was the difference between him and a sissy boy without masculinity?
If he had said that it didn’t hurt back then, it would have been a little fake.
So it was best not to answer.
Sydney was amused by Julien’s words, “How can you say yourself ‘such a dog’?”
Julien turned slightly sideways and propped his head up to look at her, “That was right. What the hypnotized me did in the past, in my opinion, was indeed not something that the real me would do. So there’s nothing wrong with saying that I’m such a dog.”
Sydney sighed, “Blame it on Lyra. She even had the ability to get help from a hypnotist.”
“The hypnotist was her ex-boyfriend’s brother.” Julien squinted his eyes and said.
Sydney nodded, “I know. Finn told me about it. He also said that your current heart has belonged to Lyra’s ex-boyfriend, the hypnotist’s brother.”
Julien nodded, “Yes, it was Quincy’s.”
Sydney looked at him, “Finn also said that the timing of this heart’s availability was too coincidental. Your family had been searching for a suitable heart for you for twenty-four years but to no avail. Just when you were on the deadline for your heart transplant operation, Quincy died. And it just so happened that his heart was suitable for you. All these were obviously strange. So Finn suspected that Quincy’s car accident was not unexpected. It might have been plotted by Lyra. He also told me that you have been investigating this matter. Have you made any progress?”
Julien shook his head with a cold expression, “No. After all, Quincy’s accident was six years ago, and the location was in the suburbs without surveillance cameras or residents. In other words, this accident had no other witness. So it’s not easy to investigate.”
“In this case, this car accident definitely had something wrong with it.” Sydney rubbed her chin and analyzed, “It happened in the suburbs without surveillance or resident. That was definitely because someone did not want people to find out the truth.”
Julien stared at her and smiled lightly, “You are right. Lyra must be related to Quincy’s death. But now we don’t know where she is, or we can directly interrogate her.”
“That’s right.” Sydney nodded, “So where on earth did she hide? Even you cannot find out the place.”
“It’s okay. We are still alive. She will appear one day. With her vengeful character, she will definitely do something to us.” Julien said as he held her small hand.
Sydney smiled lightly, “I know, so I never feel anxious about finding Lyra. But did you tell the hypnotist that Quincy’s death was not an accident?”
“Not yet.” Julien shook his head, “It won’t be late to tell Micah about this after I find Lyra. At that time, even if Lyra refuses to give an account, we still have Micah.”
Sydney tried to take her hand back but failed. Then she said to Julien resignedly, “You’re right. Well, don’t hold my hand any longer. I need to apply the ointment.”
Julien laughed lightly and let go of her hand. Sydney’s hand got free and she continued to apply the ointment to the scratches on his back.
After Sydney finished applying the ointment for him, Julien put on his clothes and got up from the bed, “I’m gonna go out now.”
