Chapter 174 Lyra's Worry
Chapter 174 Lyra's Worry
Lyra's heart sank. She suddenly noticed that she had overreacted, and it aroused Julien's suspicion.
She clenched her fist and quickly adjusted herself. She then shook her head and replied, "No, I'm not afraid. Just worried."
"What are you worried about?" Julien looked at her.
Lyra made a melancholic expression. "I'm worried that the doctor might lock me up. Based on some TV series that I've watched, the doctors will always lock people with dissociative personality disorders up in an institute. Julien, will I also end up like that? Will you lock me up?" She tugged on Julien’s sleeve.
Julien's doubts vanished in an instant. He touched her head gently. "No. All the TV series are fake. The psychiatrist will help you." All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
"Really?" Lyra looked at him with some worry left in her eyes.
Julien nodded. "Really. Don't worry."
"Since you say that, then I don't have anything to worry about anymore. Julien, I need to use the washroom." Lyra let go of Julien's sleeve and smiled reassuringly.
Julien nodded. "Okay."
Lyra turned around and walked to the washroom.
Once she entered the washroom, she closed the door and a twisted expression appeared on her face in an instant.
She sat on the toilet seat cover and dialed a number.
The call got connected quickly. Finn James just completed a surgery, so his voice was notably tired. " Lyra, are you looking for me?"
"Finn, I need your help," Lyra's hand tightened on her phone and she said in a low voice.
Finn blinked. "What is it? Is it about Sydney's pregnancy?"
"No. Sydney's pregnancy has no urgency. Julien hired a psychiatrist for me and he wanted to bring me to him. However, I don't have any mental issues at all. What if the psychiatrist sees right through me?" Lyra's face was plastered with anxiety.
If Julien told her earlier that he had found a psychiatrist, she could have found a way to contact the doctor and make a cover for herself.
However, Julien now caught her off guard and she could not do anything at all, which pissed her off.
"So, you're asking me to find a way to deal with that psychiatrist, at the same time make the psychiatrist diagnose you with a dissociative personality disorder? " Finn immediately understood what Lyra wanted.
Lyra nodded. "Yes. Finn, help me find a way please."
"This is simple." Finn pulled his chair and sat on it before he continued, "When you see the psychiatrist, he'll try to stimulate you and make your alternate personality appear to confirm the diagnosis. You just have to act it out."
"Act it out?" Lyra frowned.
Finn nodded. "Yes. Your alternate personality is someone who hated Sydney Raines. You just need to act that out."
"Will that work?" Lyra bit her lip, still worried. "I can fool Julien, but I don’t think I can do the same to the psychiatrist. You specialize in psychiatry yourself. You should know that no matter how well one acted, it would still be an act. I really don’t think the psychiatrist will believe me."
Otherwise, why would the police crime investigation team have a psychological consultant?
This was the reason. A psychologist could see through someone's act most of the time.
Something glimmered across Finn's eyes. "Don't worry. Just focus on your acting. I'll handle the rest."
When Lyra heard him, she could only nod and trust him.
Even if she was still in doubt, what else could she do?
"Alright. I understand." Lyra pursed her lips.
"Do you know which psychiatrist Julien hired?" Finn asked.
"I have no idea." Lyra frowned.
Finn hummed and said, "It's alright, then. Try to find out and let me know."
"Okay." Lyra nodded.
When the call ended, she let out a breath of relief. She then stood up, flushed, and walked out of the washroom.
"Julien."
Julien was sitting behind his desk, his eyes glued to his computer.
He did not reply when Lyra called him.
Lyra pursed her lips and was feeling rather upset.
She wanted to see what Julien was looking at so seriously.
She walked over and asked, "Julien, what are you doing?"
Julien's eyes darkened as he came back to his senses. He quickly moved his cursor and closed the page he was on. "Nothing."
"Oh." Lyra sounded as though she believed him and smiled.
She did not press further, but just lowered her eyes to cover the contempt.
Nothing?
She saw it. It was something related to Sydney.
"Oh right, Julien." Lyra thought of what Finn wanted to know and held Julien's hand. She played with his fingers and asked, "You said the psychiatrist you hired is on his way to Port City. Is he not from here?"
"He's from overseas." Julien took his iced coffee with another hand and took a sip.
Lyra blinked and continued, "From overseas? He must be good. Otherwise, why would you specially hire him from overseas? Who is he?"
Julien did not think twice. He thought that she was just curious and answered her, "Dr. Imanov."
Lyra did not know that name, so she took it down and planned to give Finn the name in a while.
Just then, someone knocked on the door.
Julien pulled his hand away from Lyra and said," Come in."
When the door opened, Zach came in. "President Flint, you made a lunch appointment with President Cohen yesterday at the Galaxy Hotel. It's almost time. Do you want to head over?"
"Get the car ready," Julien stood up, adjusted his suit, and said.
Zach went back out.
Julien looked at Lyra.
Lyra quickly put down her phone and smiled at him. " Julien, are you heading out?"
"Yes. I have a meeting. I'll send you back on my way," Julien said.
Lyra nodded in agreement.
Very quickly, Julien sent Lyra back to the Maddens.
Zach made a U-turn and drove toward the Galaxy Hotel.
On the way, when they passed by the Trison Corporation, Julien noted that a lot of young girls were surrounding the building's lobby. A security guard was registering their names.
"What's going on?" Julien asked.
Zach looked at the scene through his rearview mirror and instantly understood what Julien was talking about.
He answered, "In the afternoon, Trison Corporation released a statement saying that they are looking for a girl with a special necklace. Those girls must be trying their luck."
Julien narrowed his eyes, and Sydney's face subconsciously appeared in his mind.
Sydney had Clarice Madden's necklace.
Now that the Trison Corporation is looking for a girl with a special necklace, could that be the one Sydney had?
When he thought about it, Julien took out his mobile phone and went to Trison Corporation's official website.
He wanted to check out the statement himself and saw a photo posted below the statement.
The necklace in the photo was very similar to the one Sydney had.
Sure enough, it was referring to the same one. The one in the photo must have belonged to Lyra's mother.
However, it was strange. The necklace in Sydney's hand should have disappeared 20 years ago together with Clarice Madden's death. They had no idea Harry Raines kept the necklace, so why did they suddenly decide to find it now?
