Chapter 576 The Consult with Finn


    The next day, Sydney received a call from Finn, who informed her to collect her medicine from the


    hospital.


    Ever since Cayden had poisoned Sydney, her uterus was damaged, so she had been taking


    medication to fully recover.


    Now that she had already been taking the same type of medicine and undergone the same


    treatment for a few sessions, Finn notified her that it was time to proceed to the next stage of the


    treatment, which would also require a change of medication.


    "Yup, I''m aware of that. I''lle over in the afternoon," Sydney replied to Finn, who was on the


    other end of the call. Then she put her phone away and headed for


    Skylight Corporation from home.


    "Ms. Raines." Sean stood outside Sydney’s office, and when she saw Sydney stepping out of the


    elevator, Sean slightly bowed at her. "Wee back."


    "Thank you." Sydney smiled as Sean opened the door for her and extended an arm to invite her


    inside.


    When Sydney was about to enter the office, she suddenly stopped in her tracks as if she had just


    seen something. While fixing her eyes on Sean''s face, she asked in a concerned manner, "Sean,


    you didn''t have a good rest in the past two days, did you? You look tired. Are you okay? "


    Sean rubbed her face. Bitterness shed across her eyes. Then, she curled her lips and replied,


    "Thanks for your concern, Ms. Raines. Something came up in the past two days, so I didn’t have a


    good rest."


    Sydney asked, "What was it? Do you need help with it?"


    "Well, it''s nothing big." Sean shook her head. "It''s fine. I can handle it myself."


    She thought, ''Ms. Raines mustn''t know what has happened between Mr. Chase and me.''


    When she noticed her secretary''s insistence, Sydney decided not to press on and instead nodded.


    "Alright. If you need anything, please let me know."


    "Okay, Ms. Raines," Sean felt grateful and smiled.


    Then, Sydney walked into her office with Sean right behind her as Sean reported her schedule for


    the day.


    When she heard that she had to attend a meeting about new energy technology at the Flint


    Corporation, Sydney paused in surprise. "Did you just say that I have a meeting to attend at the


    Flint Corporation? " She raised an eyebrow skeptically as she tried to confirm what she had just


    heard.


    "Yes, Ms. Raines." Sean adjusted her sses.


    "Now I get it. That''s where you''ll wait for me." Sydney curled her lips upward, finally catching up to


    what Julien meant when he said that they would meet again the next day.


    Sydney thought, ''No wonder Julien said he would see me today. Well, it looks like he arranged this


    meeting quite a while ago.’


    "What do you mean, Ms. Raines? " Sean had no idea what was on Sydney''s mind, so she was


    confused when she heard what Sydney had said.


    Sydney responded by rubbing her temples. "It''s nothing. Did the higher-ups mention the theme that


    will be discussedter in the meeting?"


    "Yes, they did." Sean opened the document in her hand and flipped to a page before giving the file


    to Sydney. "The new energy technology has been on trial in the market for quite a while now, so the


    main purpose of this meeting is to let all partners exin the pros and cons of the trial of new


    energy technology and see if there is any room for improvement. If there aren''t any cons, the new


    energy technology will be fullyunched in the market."


    "Oh, really? " Sydney stroked her chin and took the document as she began to skim through it. After


    that, she returned the file to Sean and added, "Alright. I guess I''m more or less aware of what''s


    going on.


    Please gather the feedback from those in ourpany with regards to the trial use of the new


    technology. Once you have collected that information, submit it to me.


    "Alright, Ms. Raines. "Sean turned around to step out of the office with the document.


    When it was almost time for lunch, Sean organized andpiled everything for Sydney.


    Then Sydney shoved everything in her folder. After that, she grabbed her handbag and drove away


    from Skylight Corporation to the hospital, where she nned to collect her medication before


    heading to the Flint Corporation.


    Anyway, the meeting started at 2:00 p.m.


    The moment she arrived at the Prima


    Hospital, Sydney made her way straight to Finn''s office, where she saw him being engrossed with


    the writing of his medical report.


    Thus, she stood by the door and knocked on it.


    When Finn heard the knock, he paused in his writing and looked up to greet Sydney with a smile at


    the sight of her. "Pleasee in."


    "Sure. I''ll make myself at home then." She put down her hand and stepped into his office.


    "You''re early." Finn happened to close his pen with a lid. "Have you had lunch yet? "


    "I had some food in the car."


    "Well, I should treat you to a meal then. The food in the cafeteria is very delicious." He opened his


    drawer and took a white card out of it to wave it at Sydney.


    Sydney waved her hand to reject Finn''s kind offer. "No, thanks. I''m not hungry now. Furthermore, I


    still have a meeting to attendter, so I''ll be runningte if I were to have lunch now. Thus, please


    take me to collect my medication now instead."


    Now that she had already said so, Finn could only give in and inserted the card into his gown.


    "Alright, I’ll take you to the OB-GYN for a check-up first so that we can determine the extent of your


    recovery before we can determine the necessary treatment for you."


    "Okay," Sydney replied.


    When both of them walked toward the OB-GYN, something seemingly crossed Sydney’s mind.


    Then, she bit her lips and asked, "Dr. James, I have a question for you since your area of expertise


    includes hypnosis. I want to know whether hypnosis can tamper with a person''s memory."


    "Why do you ask?" Finn looked at her.


    Sydney blinked, but she decided to be honest. "Julien told me yesterday that he found out that Lyra


    was posing as me back then, but before he could expose her, he was hypnotized to forget that he


    had realized she wasn''t me For the next six years, the hypnotic effect continued to dominate his


    consciousness and prevented him from seeing the truth that I was the one whom he had been


    looking for."


    Finn adjusted his sses. "I get what you''re trying to say. You want to know whether Julien is being


    honest, right? "


    Sydney replied with an affirmative hum." That’s right. After all, his words just sounded like a bolt


    from the blue to me, and I''m not sure whether I can trust him. Since you’re an expert in this area, I


    was hoping you could tell me whether Julien was telling me the truth."


    "Well, you''re right. I can indeed tell whether what he said was true."


    "So-"


    "It''s true!"


    "Wait, what? " Sydney was stunned.


    Finn stopped in his tracks and looked at her. "Julien is telling the truth. He was indeed hypnotized,


    and the person who did that to him was my senior."


    Sydney’s eyes widened as she had a surprised look on her face. "Your senior? "


    "That''s right." Finn nodded. "I only came to know about this matter two months ago, though. In fact,


    I had no idea that Julien had been hypnotized by my senior until he was involved in an ident that


    significantly reduced the hypnotic effect within him. When he sensed that there was something


    wrong with himself, he came to me for help and learned that my senior had taken control over his


    mind with hypnosis."


    "So, it’s true!" Sydney''s eyes twitched. She looked extremely uneasy.


    It turned out that Julien was indeed hypnotized.


    Sydney felt Finn couldn''t help Julian lie to her.


    Finn bore no grudge against Julien. Furthermore, she was sure that Julien wouldn''t dare to mess


    with Finn, for he might one day require Finn''s help.


    Therefore, Finn treated Julien the same as he treated others. He wouldn''t be as cautious as others


    because they were inferior to Julien.


    Therefore, Finn could refuse Julien if Julien had ever asked a favor from him.


    Moreover, Finn was not someone who could easily be bribed. If anyone intended to do so, one


    would have to pay a high price, which was usually in any form other than money. After all, Finn was


    very wealthy as well.

    Therefore, Julien didn''t have to bribe Finn to deceive her.


    At the thought of that, Sydney took a deep breath and asked, "Dr. James, what was the rtionship


    between your senior and Lyra? Why would he help Lyra to hypnotize Julien?"
