Did this person do anything else to her besides snatching her bag?
Finn majored in psychology before and even got a degree in it. He could tell exactly what Sydney was thinking from her expression.
He wanted to hide the truth from her, but he did not expect her to be this smart and guessed it.
"The last time you went to the hospital for an abortion, Lyra instructed me to kill you on the operating table and cover it up as a surgical incident. However, I saw the red mole on your wrist, so I didn't do anything in the end," Finn avoided her gaze as he explained.
"Scumbag!" Layden's eyes were bloodshot when he grabbed Finn's collar, about to hit him right in his face.
Finn did not fight back and he was ready to receive Layden's punches. All he had hoped was for Sydney to hate him less.
He could not let his angel hate him.
"Cay!" Sydney pulled on Layden's arm. "Let go of him."
"Sydney, he was going to kill you!" Layden was reluctant to let go.
Sydney said in a forceful tone, "Let go of him."
Layden saw how firm she was and let go of Finn in
the end.
Sydney turned around and looked at Finn, who had a deep frown. He was straightening his collar when Sydney asked, "If you didn’t notice the red mole back then, then I'll probably be dead by now, right?"
Even Sydney knew that this question was unnecessary.
However, she still wanted to hear it from him.
Finn pursed his lips and looked away from her. He then said, "Yes."
Sydney sneered and walked past him toward the elevator.
Although she did not like Finn as a person, she still saved his life back then.
When she found out that someone she saved back then repaid her this way, she felt extremely uncomfortable. Even if he did not know she was the one who saved him.
"Sydney, wait for me." Layden threw Finn a glare and quickly followed behind Sydney.
Finn did not stop Sydney from leaving. As a psychology professor, he knew that Sydney must have received a hard blow mentally.
This was all Lyra Madden's fault. If Lyra did not pretend to be his angel, then he would never let his angel down this way.
Just wait. He swore to torture her and make her one of his best specimens in his basement.
Outside the hotel, Cayden finally caught up to Sydney.
"Sydney, are you okay?" Cayden looked at her with concern.
Sydney looked at the red mole on her wrist and said nothing.
How could she be okay?
She just found out how close she was to death.
When Sydney remained silent, Cayden suddenly hugged her and placed his chin on her shoulder. His voice was deep with emotions as he said, "Don’t be afraid. You have me. I'll always protect you."
When Sydney heard that, she felt a warmth in her heart and the gloominess from before disappeared by a fair bit.
She patted the boy's back and said, "I believe you. Let go first, I can't breathe."
"Oh." Cayden quickly let go of her and looked at her belly. His eyes were confused as he asked, "Sydney, how did you get pregnant?"
He wanted to ask this question when they were in the suite. However all her attention was on Finn and Lyra's conversation, so he did not interrupt them and waited until now.
