"She did." Julien nodded.
Something flashed across Lyra's eyes. "Then... how is she like?"
Julien frowned and said nothing.
When Lyra saw that, she made an uneasy expression." Julien, is she horrible?"
"It's fine, Lyra. Don’t overthink it." Julien touched her hair and added, "Dr. Imanov will get you better and eliminate the alternate personality."
"Eliminate?" Lyra was shocked. She covered her mouth and asked, "Why eliminate? Didn’t we agree on merging?"
"No, we can't merge your personalities. Your alternate personality is too malicious. I’m worried that it might affect your personality as well," Julien said heavily.
Lyra nodded. "I see. I understand, then."
She lowered her head and clenched her fists.
Julien thought of her true personality as malicious.
"Dr. Imanov." Julien did not realize Lyra's change in behavior and turned around to face Dr. Imanov.
"Yes, President Flint?" Dr. Imanov pushed his glasses.
Julien said, "For Lyra's treatment, please make a
schedule. I want to monitor her progress."
"Sure." Dr. Imanov nodded.
After that, Julien and Lyra left the clinic and were about to leave.
Just as they walked out, they ran into Finn, who was walking toward them.
"The consultation ended?" Finn halted his steps and looked at both of them.
"It ended. Finn, why are you here?" Lyra asked with a smile.
Finn had both his hands in his lab coat. "The surgery I was doing ended, so I came over to take a look at you guys. How's Lyra's condition?"
He looked at Julien.
Julien rubbed his eyebrows. "It's quite serious. Her alternate personality is already matured, and she’s almost as old as Lyra."
"Really? That does sound serious," Finn said and added, "What are you both planning to do next?"
Lyra replied, "Julien said we should eliminate the alternate personality.”
"Really, Julien?" Finn raised his eyebrows.
Julien nodded. "We can't keep the alternate personality around."
Lyra lowered her head to conceal her emotions.
When Finn saw her little act, he could already guess what happened. He pushed his glasses and said, "To eliminate a personality isn't easy, and there’s no guarantee that it will succeed. Only time can give us the answer."
"I know. Dr. Imanov said he'll try his best. I think we should be going, then," Julien glanced at his watch and said in a cold voice.
Finn stepped aside to make way for them both.
Julien walked forward with Lyra following behind him.
When she walked past Finn, she suddenly turned around and winked at him.
Finn returned it with a smile.
This short moment of interaction between them was more than enough.
However, Julien did not notice a thing.
After Sydney and Luke returned to the Skylight Corporation, both of them were buried in their work.
Sydney had to be admitted for two days after her surgery.
Since there was no way of doing work while she was admitted, she wanted to do as much as she could right now. Otherwise, her work might just pile up.
In the afternoon, Luke got a phone call from his assistant, asking him to go for a meeting.
Luke put down the pen in his hand, stretched himself out, and stood up from the chair.
