Chapter 519 Sydney Passed Out

Sydney nodded.

"Go ahead." Julien said.

Sydney's lips twitched. She was frightened.

It was a dead body after all.

Sydney had never seen a dead body before, except on TV, and she had never been to the scene of an accident, so she was scared.

Seeing that Sydney was frightened, Julien gently squeezed her hand. "It's okay. I'm right here."

Sydney turned to Julien.

Looking at the calmness on his face and the attentiveness in his eyes, Sydney felt the fear in her heart was alleviated.

"Let's go." Julien sensed Sydney calming down a bit. He took her hand and walked forward.

Sydney followed him. Watching Julien's figure, she fell into a daze, and her eyes flickered.

"There you are." Jase was taking notes. Seeing Sydney and Julien coming, he immediately closed his notebook and walked up to them. Julien nodded slightly, "How's it going?" His eyes looked to the front.

The place was surrounded by doctors and police officers, and Julien couldn't see what was going on there at the moment, so he asked Jase.

Jase pressed the brim of his hat and replied, "The body is still lying there, and the coroner has not yet arrived, so we can only let the doctors in this hospital do an autopsy first. But these doctors are not forensic doctors. They are not proficient at doing an autopsy, so it will take some time. We don't have the results yet."

"Why don't you let Finn come?" Julien frowned.

Finn was interested in the human body.

When he was studying abroad, he worked as a forensic intern.

Because as a forensic doctor, he could do experiments on the human body whenever and wherever he wanted.

"We called him." Jase sighed, "A doctor suggested having Dr. James come here, but Dr. James is performing surgery right now. He can't come for now. It'll be a while before he gets here"

"Finn's here." Sydney pointed to a man who was walking toward them.

Both Julien and Jase looked in the direction Sydney was pointing, and Finn was hurrying along in green scrubs and a surgical cap that he hadn't changed out of.

Jase cheered up, "Great, Dr. James is here. After he completes Lyra's autopsy, we should be able to deduce the reason for Lyra's suicide. Mr. Flint, Ms. Raines, I need to meet Dr. James. Please excuse me." "OK." Julien nodded.

Jase walked toward Finn.

Finn saw Jase, as well as Sydney and Julien.

Finn ignored Julien but nodded to Sydney as a greeting.

Sydney nodded back to him. Finn then talked to Jase.

After he briefed Finn about the situation, Jase told his men surrounding Lyra's body to disperse.

And thus, Lyra's body was exposed to Sydney.

Sydney was scared of dead bodies. Now, she was suddenly exposed to Lyra's smashed body. At once, her face turned pale, and she let out a sharp scream, "Ah!"

Lyra was lying face down on the lawn, and her blood stained a large area of the lawn.

And Lyra's face was a bloody mess from the fall. People could not see what she looked like. Her head was dented in a big chunk, and some brain matter flowed out...

Sydney felt like vomiting. Then her eyes closed, and she passed out.

"Sydney!" cried Julien as he watched her collapse towards him. He immediately tensed up. He hurriedly reached out his arms and caught her in his arms.

Julien dropped to one knee and placed Sydney in his arms. Then he shook her gently, "Sydney! Wake up."

Finn noticed that Sydney had passed out. He had put on his gloves and was about to perform an autopsy on Lyra. At the scene, he immediately took off his gloves and walked toward Sydney. "What's wrong with her?" Finn asked.

Julien looked down at Sydney, a hint of regret in his eyes, "She was frightened and passed out."

Julien had anticipated the officers would move out of the way, and he intended to cover Sydney's eyes with his hand.

But he was not quick enough, and Sydney saw the scene before she was blindfolded.

He blamed himself for that.

Finn didn't say anything. He rolled Sydney's eyelids and checked them, pinched her under her nose, and pressed some spots on her body.

After a moment, Sydney frowned and her eyelashes fluttered. She should be waking up now.

Sure enough, the next second, Sydney opened her eyes, and her face was filled with horror. "Lyra..."

"Don't be afraid." Julien lowered his head and pressed his forehead against hers. "It's okay. Don't be afraid."

"Julien?" said Sydney, blinking and looking at Julien.

Julien responded, "I'm here. Don't be afraid.

"I just saw..."

"I know. Forget about it! Don't think about it, and you won't be afraid." Julien said softly as he lifted his head up to look at her. Sydney gasped, "I can't stop thinking about it. That image is so horrible. It keeps popping up in my head. I..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Julien lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.

Sydney's eyes widened in amazement. She froze.

The people around were also stunned by Julien's move, especially Jase. The corners of his mouth twitched.

'What are you guys doing here?' 'A suicide just happened here! It's so bloody! How can you guys kiss here?'

'Shit!'

Jase huffed and turned around.

'I'm not supposed to be here.'

Standing aside, Zach also covered his face and turned his head to the side.

He also felt embarrassed.

Finn saw Julien kiss Sydney and he also stood up, his eyebrows raised. "Well, I was going to say that I could help her erase that memory if she couldn't stop recalling that scene, but it seems like she doesn't need it anymore. Someone is a master at erasing memories!"

Finn pushed his glasses upward and put on a smile. Then he turned around and went back to where he had been. He was ready to do the autopsy.

After a long time, Sydney was suffocating from the kiss, and then Julien released her.

Sydney's lips parted slightly. She was gulping for air as she looked at Julien with a flushed face, "You..."

Julien released her and helped her to her feet.

After Sydney stood up, Julien stood up too. He wiped the lipstick off the corner of his lips with his thumb and asked, "I suppose you're not thinking of that image, right?"

"..." Sydney was silent.

Indeed, her mind was now filled with the kiss they had just had. She couldn't even think about Lyra's smashed body.

And she wasn't scared now.

Julien's solution did work, although Sydney was a little annoyed.

"Thank you." Sydney whispered to Julien with her head down.

Julien nodded and said gently, "Go sit on the bench for a while. I'll go over there." He pointed to a bench on the side. Sydney nodded, "Okay."

She did need to calm herself down. She didn't want to see Lyra's smashed body.

She had finally just gotten over that horrible image, and she didn't want to think about it again.

"Zach, stay with Sydney." Julien instructed.

Zach responded, "OK."

"I'm going to go over there. Call me if you need anything." Julien gently patted Sydney's head. Then he walked toward Finn. Watching his back, Sydney touched her head where he had touched her. For the first time, she clearly felt that she didn't hate it. She didn't even feel any disgust either when just now he kissed her.

'What's going on...'

"Ms. Raines, let's go sit on the bench." Zach's voice rang out before Sydney could think clearly.

Sydney could only put confusion aside and force a smile, "Okay."

Julien came next to Finn and asked," How's it going?"
