My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 125 Mental Illness Medical Report

After half an hour, Zach arrived.

Julien opened the door for him and said, "Come in."

After that, he turned around and walked toward the living room.

Zach looked at Julien's back and his mouth twitched.

If he remembered it correctly, this was Ms. Raines' house.

Why was President Flint the one who opened the door for him, and was now acting as though this place belonged to him?

Although Zach had thoughts like this, he did not dare to ask. He stepped into the house.

"Clothes?” Julien asked him.

Zach handed one of the bags in his hand over. "Here."

Julien took it and changed in the living room itself.

Zach had another bag in his hands. “President Flint, this breakfast...”

"Put it on the table,” Julien said as he buttoned up.

Zach obediently placed the bag on the table.

Julien then pointed at the coffee table. "Take those medications with us."

"Yes.” Zach nodded.

The both of them left together.

Before Julien left, he looked toward Sydney's room. His eyes were darkened, but no one knew what he was thinking.

Soon after they left, the door to the room opened and Sydney came out with a yawn. She was stunned when she saw the neatly folded blanket on the couch.

Where did he go?

Sydney looked around the house. She did not find Julien but realized that the medications on the coffee table had disappeared. There was also a bag on the table.

Sydney walked over in curiosity and opened the bag. It was a breakfast set meal from the Infinitea House.

Was this for her?

Sydney raised her eyebrow.

However, she did not refuse. After all, someone even had it delivered to her table. Of course, she would gladly take it.

After her breakfast, Sydney changed, took her new handbag, and left the house.

When she arrived at the office and was just about to meet up with Luke, her phone rang. It was from the police station.

"Ms. Raines?" "That's me speaking." Sydney nodded.

The policeman said, "I'm so sorry, Ms. Raines. The case of Ms. Madden pushing you down the stairs has been closed ahead of schedule.”

"What?" Sydney stood up suddenly, her expression visibly sour.

Luke got shocked by her sudden reaction and blinked at her. "What's the matter, Darling?"

Sydney ignored him and asked with pursed lips, "Why did you decide to close the case ahead of schedule? I haven’t even submitted any evidence, so how can you close the case?"

"Ms. Raines, calm down. I understand how you must be feeling right now. However, we have to close the case because Ms. Madden's parents and fiance submitted her mental illness medical report."

"Mental illness medical report?" Sydney narrowed her eyes.

The policeman nodded. "Yes, the medical report said that Ms. Madden had a severe mental illness. In our country, we don't have any laws that could stand against patients with mental illness. So..."

"So what you’re saying is, people with mental illness will never break the law?" Sydney’s grip on her phone tightened and she raised her voice. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

The policeman sighed as he replied, "Yes. So this case is closed. We're still trying to look for your bag, but we don't have any leads for now, and it’s likely that it's gone. Please prepare yourself, Ms. Raines."

The call ended.

Sydney bit her lip and she put down the phone in distraught.

Luke looked at her with a worried expression. "What happened, Darling?"

Sydney told him what just happened over the phone.

When Luke knew everything, he was so mad that he punched the table. "F*ck, they are so shameless. They exploited the loophole in the law to help Lyra escape."

"Exactly. I didn't expect them to use this trick." Sydney rubbed her eyebrows, visibly exhausted.

No wonder Julien did not forcibly stop her from reporting to the police.

Whether she made the report or not, he had his ways to protect Lyra. Sydney had miscalculated this time.

"I need to go look for Julien Flint! I want an explanation!" As he said that, Luke was heading toward the door.

Sydney pulled him back. "Don't. There's no point. We won't be able to win against them."

When Luke heard her, he stopped walking and slumped. He exuded a defeated demeanor.

After a short moment, he turned around with his hands in tight fists. "Darling, tell me. Is Lyra's dissociative identity disorder true?"

Sydney's eyes flickered before she answered, "I don't know. Dr. Finn James diagnosed her with this disorder. I'm sure you know him, so it should be real. However, I'm still doubtful and I don’t want to make any conclusions."

Luke sucked in a breath. "If Lyra had dissociative identity disorder, I believe that she'll continue to harm you in the future. Does this mean that she’ll never get caught no matter what she does?"

Sydney sneered and said, "Yes. All because she has a mental illness."

"If she has a mental illness, then she should be locked up in a mental hospital. Why is she still out and about?" Luke asked.

Sydney rolled her eyes at him. "Do you think Julien will ever let her go to places like that?"

Luke was speechless.

Sydney remained silent too.

After a moment of silence, Luke looked at her with an undisguised fear in his voice. "Darling, are we going to let this go? I can't forgive any of them, you almost..."

He could not continue his sentence, yet they both understood what he wanted to say.

Sydney narrowed her eyes and said, "Of course, not. Lyra wants to kill me, so how can I just let her be? I’ll remember this and take revenge in the future. I’ll even make her pay me twice fold for what she did. Don’t worry, I'm not those who just keep quiet despite being bullied.’’

Luke smiled at her words. "That's great to hear. No matter what, I'll stand behind you."

He looked at her tenderly.

Sydney was taken aback.

This was her first time seeing such a serious expression on his face.

"Okay." Sydney smiled as she nodded.

At this moment, someone knocked on the office door.

Sydney looked over. “Come in."

Sophie pushed the door and walked in. She glanced at Luke before reporting to Sydney, "Vice president Raines, the representatives of the subsidiary companies under the Flint Corporation came, saying that they want to work with us."

"Subsidiary companies under the Flint Corporation?" Luke frowned.

"Yes." Sophie nodded.

"Which ones?" Sydney asked.

Sophie stated them one by one.

Sydney smiled with contempt. "I know who they are. This is the compensation from Julien Flint. I guess he knew that protecting Lyra was the wrong thing to do."

Luke was so mad that his face was flushed. "We don't need his compensation. Chase them away."

He instructed Sophie.

Before Sophie could reply, Sydney interrupted. "No need."

"Darling, are you going to accept his petty compensation?” Luke looked at her with disbelief.

Sydney played with the pen in her hand. "Why not? These few subsidiary companies are related to us anyway. It will be best to work together with them."

"But..." Luke still felt a little uncomfortable.

Sydney looked at him with a somber expression." Luke, I know what you want to say. But take a look at the Skylight Corporation today. We lost many of our previous industries because we don't have the funds, and we don’t have suitable partners. Since these partners are sent to us, why don’t we just use them?"

Luke pouted, but he said nothing.

Sydney continued, "No matter why Julien did what he did, he’s indeed helping us with this. Skylight Corporation needs more partnerships with other companies to develop. Don't worry, I won't forget about the revenge even if I accepted his compensation."
