She was relieved when Kathleen was still saying, "I don't like Anne Windsor either. Don't worry. I will find a way to help you, but ..."
Kathleen paused and looked slightly embarrassed.
Being tangled, she chose to hold Lyra's hands and advised, "Lyra, since Ethel's stuff is exposed, Collin hands over all the power in his hands, and really never cares about Ethel's life. He has been repenting. This time, when it is over, can you forgive him?"
Lyra lowered her head and silently withdrew the hands held by Kathleen.
"Kathleen, I don't want to tell lies just to comfort you. Let's talk about this later when it's really over. At least for now, I don't see him changing."
Kathleen nodded in understanding and wasn't going to push her.
The two changed the subject and talked for a while longer before Kathleen got out of Lyra's limousine and left while keeping her countenance.
For the situation on Anning Hill, she could only wait and see what would happen. Lyra looked at the time and saw that it was already the end of the day and that this afternoon's regular meeting had to be canceled and rescheduled for tomorrow because of the unexpected situation on Anning Hill. So, she chose to drive back to Lyre Spiti.
When she arrived home, Chad was there, and Malcolm was upstairs simply packing his bags.
Lyra wondered, "Chad, is this a business trip for you guys?"
Chad nodded his head and replied in a serious manner, "There is a new situation on the border. It's quite tricky. We have to go there immediately to check it out. And we have to leave tonight."
After all, it was the National Investigation Bureau's business, and Lyra understood.
"So how long are you going to be there?"
Chad thought about it and shook his head honestly, "I'm not sure about that. If the situation is handled well over there, we might be back in two days. But if it's never properly handled, we might not be back for a week."
That meant she and Malcolm would have to be separated for at least two days to a week.
While the two talked, Malcolm came downstairs with his packed suitcase.
Chad saw him and immediately went up to help carry.
Malcolm glanced at Lyra who was in the living room and instructed Chad, "Help me get my bags out and wait outside. I have a word with Rara alone."
"Okay."
Chad obediently carried his suitcase out and went to the garden to wait for him.
As soon as he was gone, Malcolm took a big step towards Lyra and carried her into his arms, holding her tightly.
"Sorry, something happens at Crana's border. There's a riot. I have to leave tonight. It's really hard to be separated from you for a few days."
Lyra patted his broad back, "It's okay. Official business is important. Remember to protect yourself and don't get hurt."
He nodded and told Lyra seriously, "When I'm not at home, I'm afraid you will be too busy to take care of our babies, so I sent Spencer and Momo, along with Sophia to Grandpa's. If you want to see the babies, you can go to Grandpa's."
"In addition, although your mania has improved, after all, it is not cured. I am really worried, so I have discussed with Jimmy. During this period, you don't need to return to here at night. You can just go to the laboratory to find Jimmy. There is a treatment ward there."
"The signal at border is not good. There may be a delay in replying to your message. You must pay attention to your safety. Wait for my return."
Lyra stroked his stiff jaw to soothe his uneasy emotions, "Don't worry. I am in Crana. Not many people dare to do anything against me. I'll behave myself this time, all at your disposal."
The two kissed sweetly and told of their reluctance before parting until they were interrupted by Chad's knocking on the door.
"Bro it's getting late. If we don't go now, we won't be able to make it to border tonight and arrange a place to stay."
The two inside the house could only be forced to release their embrace. Lyra walked Malcolm out the door and watched them both disappear along the wall of Lyre Spiti.
Since Malcolm had made all the arrangements, there was no point in her staying in Lyre Spiti alone.
She went to her room, roughly packed a few clothes, and went to the lab.
Jimmy had arranged for Lyra to have a special room for rest and treatment at night.
The room was devoid of any extra decorations except for the bed and the bedside table.
Jimmy apologized, "Lyra, the laboratory conditions are limited and cannot provide a better and safer treatment room. You can manage to stay here until Malcolm returns."
