CHAPTER 269: LYRA THE SHERLOCK HOLMES

last update Last Updated: 2025-02-15 07:43:58

Malcolm's eyelashes dropped and he didn't look at her. His body let her felt it was indifferent and cold, making it difficult to approach.

Lyra couldn't understand him, only knew the raging anger inside her. And she had only one idea in her mind.

That was to beat him so he would never dare to say those words such as break up!

Anger drove her to get out of bed barefoot to reach for the whip in the first drawer of the bedside table.

But just as her hand went to the drawer, she stopped.

What if she couldn't control her sanity and Malcolm didn't hide? What if she got angry and hurt him?

But since she had gotten out of bed, if she did not take something, it seemed like she was foolish.

She turned back quietly to glance at Malcolm across the bed.

Malcolm was staring at her, and he seemed a bit awkward to see that she was empty-handed ...

Malcolm's belt was hung on the coat rack next to her. She walked over, folded it in half and clutched the metal buckle in her hand, before sitting back dow

    She would be there for him and her heart would go with him.She would also learn how to spoil him and protect him.Her soft and melodious voice came to Malcolm's ears and echoed over and over in his mind.What was in front of him was her bright and sunny smile.His painful and cold heart, as if was wrapped tightly by a warm light, melted.He choked with sobs and his right hand subconsciously wanted to touch her soft and little face.However, this hand was still wearing leather glove and had just touched Ethel.Thinking of this, he withdrew his hand. And the other hand that was hanging on the other side of the thigh clenched unconsciously. Anthony was right.Lyra had strong character. When dealing with enemies, she was like a sun that nobody can touch her. Otherwise, they would be beaten.

    Since there was no way out, Malcolm simply ignored her.He returned his gaze to the window, and his eyes returned to indifference.On his handsome face, the few lip marks were very conspicuous, making him look like he had just been "bullied".The persona of a cold and domineering boss was gone in front of Lyra.Lyra saw that he wasn't talking anymore so she wasn't going to keep pushing him."Okay, you want to calm down. I'll give you time. But don't say anything like breaking the engagement or breaking up. Who told you to mess with me in the first place? Now you want to quit in the middle, no way! You Malcolm can only be mine for the rest of your life!""And I'm sorry. I'm just so strong. You only see clearly who I am now. It's late! You can regret later!"With a condescending grunt, she got up and left.She knew Malcolm too well. He was very stubborn. It was not easy to let him say the truth.And he liked to hold back and liked to hide the hurt to bear it alone.As for why he had dev

    He was heavily handcuffed and walked slowly with each step.There were bruises on his arms and neck. His skin was rough. And he was bearded. He was completely different from the past.Except for the still very distinctive blue eyes, Lyra could barely recognized him.Anthony stared at her through the glass and picked up the phone.Lyra followed his movement and took the phone."Lyra, it's been a long time. You seem surprised. You don't remember me so soon?"Lyra had little expression and her voice was extraordinarily cold, "I didn't come here to listen to your bullshit. If you don't say it, I'll leave."Anthony curled his lips playfully and tut-tutted twice, "You're really ruthless, all preoccupied with your little pet."Seeing that Lyra was about to put down the phone, Anthony said hurriedly, "Okay, I'll get down to the point!"His eyes narrowed slightly, and the smile on his face was evil and weird, "Lyra, although I'm trapped, I know better than anyone that your current fiancé Malco

    "Yes, I remember."She not only did not forget, but also remembered clearly, "Later I made a special effort to check this matter. Malcolm said this is not sulfuric acid, but S40 corrosive agent or something."Chad sighed, "He... does not want you to worry about him and feel guilt, so he lied to you. In fact, it is S404 biochemical virus."Biochemical virus?Lyra's eyebrows furrowed and her heart throbbed abruptly.Although she did not know anything about medical research, she did know, from literal meaning, it was something related to certain damage to human body. It was definitely not a simple and small problem! Chad continued to sigh and began to explain to her, "This virus is very powerful. It can spread extremely fast. Currently, even the laboratory does not have the antidote ..."Ten minutes later.Malcolm, who was in the main seat of the meeting room, listened to Sean, one of the executives' report while looking at his watch.Chad's files have not been retrieved.Under the ghost

    Sensing her threatening, Malcolm got his hands free and immediately guarded against her leaning in closer.But Lyra already knew about his physical recession, and did not pay any attention to the defiant man.Now he, for her, was a delicate and sickly child. However, he was mean and always liked to say some beatable words.She once again clutched his restless wrists with precision. Her tongue gently licked her lips with an evil smile.Her tone was deliberately upward. She was never bored with molesting him."Oh, Mr. Malcolm is weak and can't break free, so he'll just be bullied by me. What should he do? Shouldn't he correct his attitude?" Malcolm was depressed. As a man, his desire to win in terms of physical strength drove him to not admit defeat.But again, reality left him with no choice but to bow down to the "vicious power".Under the internal struggle, he looked like he would rather die than give in. He coldly snorted and turned his face to the side.He can't win so he still can

    In the evening, in the laboratory's ward.Jimmy said softly, "In fact, I told him he has five months left. It is a conservative statement. Only when he maintains good body conditions, it is possible he has five months left.""Because the virus in his body is almost out of the control of the inhibitor. If his angina attack happens more frequently, it is estimated the time is less than a month ..."Lyra was in shock, and her palms were so tight that she was clutching the report in folds.She tried to calm down, "In the future, I will supervise him to get well. I don't believe he only has a few months left. I want him to live a long life!"Jimmy was relieved to see the determination in her eyes."Miss Lloyd, don't worry. I'll do my best to save Malcolm. And I'll go to work overtime to write a note to you. According to the notes, he should do proper exercise, supplement nutrition and pay attention to emotions. It should be of great help.""Okay, thanks.""You're welcome."Jimmy took the d

    Lyra stayed with Malcolm and spent the night in the lab room.The next morning, she took Malcolm back to the villa.Following the notes Jimmy wrote, she drew up a schedule for him.The main thing was not to smoke cigarette, not to drink alcohol, not to have sex but to eat more fruits and vegetables, to do appropriate morning exercise for half an hour every day and so on. Malcolm, seeing her excitement, didn't say anything and readily accepted her arrangement.Once back at the villa, Lyra went to the kitchen and made a pot of millet porridge.After accompanying Malcolm to finish his breakfast, she said, "I have something to do today. I have to go back to the Lloyd family. You should not go to White Corp lately, and have Chad send you any documents that need to be signed."Malcolm was slightly stunned, "Since you're going to your family, do you need me to accompany you?""No."Lyra served him another bowl of millet porridge and hid the unnatural look in her eyes."You just had angina ye

    Lyra looked at his cold face and was so abashed that she dawdled up from the carpet and lay pron onto the armrest of the sofa. Just lying up, she glanced at Collin who was walking to her side.Lyra's face went pale, "Wait, wait a minute!""Say it.""Collin how many time do you ... want to beat me?"She had to prepare for that in advance. After all, she still had to deal with Anthony and go back to see Malcolm later.Collin's serious eyebrows were slightly raised, "You slept with him four or five times. So at least fifty times. What do you think?" Fifty?Lyra's heart went cold.She thought it would be five times. With Collin's strength, if he made it real, would she still be alive and go back to Malcolm's villa today!?And, did he sound like he was asking her opinion?She turned back weakly, "Can I refuse?"Collin was taking off his watch, removing his suit, rolling up his shirt cuffs, and giving her a condescending look."No."She knew it!Lyra's heart was dead, and she hit her head o

    In a tense atmosphere, the doctor finally spoke up."Miss Lloyd's progesterone is elevated again. Has she been emotionally unstable lately? Are you often angry or sad and depressed?"Lyra bowed her head and didn't answer.There should be no hiding in front of the doctor.Malcolm held Lyra's hand tightly and answered for her, "Yes, there has been some unhappiness in the family lately. Her mood has not been stable and she doesn't seem to be able to control her emotions much lately. Last night it was the most obvious, because I wouldn't let her eat orange and she bit me."When he said these, his tone was low as if he was a little sad."You're mad about not eating orange?" The doctor laughed.Lyra hurriedly explained, "Because I have always bad appetite and vomit gastric acid sometimes. I feel my mouth bitter. Finally I can have my favorite fruit, but he controls me! Can't even eat one more! It makes me very aggrieved!"The more she said, the tighter her eyebrows wrinkled. Finally, she si

    Countryside.Ethel had a splitting headache and woke up from her daze.In this coma, she had a long dream in which Reginald was not yet in a wheelchair and was still young.He let her ride on his shoulders and took her out to the amusement park, telling everyone in no uncertain terms that Ethel was Reginald's youngest and most beloved daughter. They had a great time and her dreams were all about laughter.But...Her vision gradually cleared and what came into view was the beams of a simple house in the countryside with a dim lamp over it.No Reginald, no amusement park, there was just endless torture ahead.Her dream was shattered and she was completely awake.Reginald would never wake up. She made Claudia push him down, and even if he lived, there was no way he would want to disclose her identity.After all, it was a dream.She laughed, which was a mocking for herself.Cerys was sitting right next to her, leisurely crossing his legs and having snacks again."You're awake?

    Collin had a rare and different expression. Turning his head to look at him, he did not make a sound, seemingly with a silent question in his eyes.Thinking of the warn Malcolm had just sent him in a message, Chad continued, "Lyra can discriminate between love and hate. Ethel has hurt her many times. The punishment is what Ethel deserves. You shouldn't come here to plead for mercy."A plea for mercy?Collin wrinkled his brows, "She doesn't hurt Ethel's life. It's good enough. I won't beg for mercy. Ethel deserves the punishment."Standing in the cold rain all night, his voice was a little hoarse when he opened his mouth.Chad was silent, and seeing that he was thinking straight this time, he went on to say."Ethel was sent to the countryside to work as a farmer. After the labors, she'll receive ten lashes and then recite the Buddhist Scriptures on her knees all night. She can't rest until she finishes reading them. That book is perfect for confession of sins. Mr. Collin, what do you t

    Collin was here?The atmosphere in the bedroom became serious almost instantly.Lyra hardly had to think about it, "Just tell him I'm asleep. I don't have time to see him, and I don't want to see him. Tell him not to come here again.""Yes."Eleven left quickly.Noticing that Lyra was in a bad mood, Malcolm hurriedly took her into his arms, kissed her, and soothed her.Not waiting for the kiss to finish, Eleven came and knocked on the door again. The sound was more anxious than last time."Miss, I have conveyed your message, but Mr. Collin still won't go. He's standing outside the gate in the rain. If you don't see him, he will probably stay wet all night."Eleven's tone sounded helpless.Malcolm looked at the non-stop heavy rain out the window, and said, "Why not see him? This rain is so cold. If he's really wet all night, it's estimated he'll have a fever and cold tomorrow." Lyra didn't say anything.After a long silence, she said, "Want to use this way to force me to feel sorry for

    Fifty times of lashing and a slap from Chad. A night in the basement, and an hour's walk up the hill when she was hungry. Ethel thought for a moment that she simply couldn't resist.But the truth was that people had unlimited potential when they wanted to live.She was supervised by Cerys with a very heavy hoe and spent the whole morning digging seed pits in the field.Her body was overloaded with the exhausted feeling, but she actually got through it all and didn't faint.When it was the lunch time, she never thought that she would be like a hungry tiger pouncing on her food one day, completely disregarding her image.The rough buns in her mouth were even better than those delicacies of every kind!However, Cerys did not allow her to eat much at all. After three big buns, she took away all the dishes in front of her and told her to go to the pig pen and feed the pigs.Ethel was an illegitimate daughter, but Reginald and Collin had always been very good to her. She grew up in a life o

    Ethel stared at her and stunned by her cold gaze. Uncontrollably, she was trembling and aware of a hint of danger.Seeing that Ethel was finally a little scared, she snorted lightly."Tomorrow morning, I will have you sent to the countryside residence with bodyguards to watch over you. There are former servants from our family. They will keep an eye on you day in and day out doing farm work.""Every night before sunset, you will be whipped with ten lashes, and then you will kneel in the courtyard and finish reciting a whole book of Prajnaparamita as a confession of your sins. You can rest when you have finished reading.""How do you feel about doing that every day, week in and week out? Isn't that magnanimous?"Ethel's back stiffened and her already weak face went wan little by little.She had heard of Prajnaparamita, which consisted of six hundred volumes, with a total of more than five million words. She didn't know if she could finish it in one night if she really had to read it fr

    Chad stopped the movement of his hands, raised his eyes for a moment, and received the cold and hostile warning gaze from Malcolm which scared him and his face slightly pale."No!"He was so frightened that when he swung the branch again.Ethel was in so much pain that she was twitching and was almost at her limit.Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears. She looked pitifully at Micah who was on the side couch and Keith, weakly pleading for help."Micah, Keith, help me ..."Micah looked cold. There was no trace of extra expression on his face for her cry for help.Keith looked at her and listened to the creepy sound. Then he chose to look away and ignored it.Facing with the indifferent brothers, Ethel felt disappointed and smiled contemptuously.Occasionally, she would muffle a few grunts of pain, but still didn't beg for mercy.Whoosh-With the final lashing, the last thick branch in Chad's hand was broken.He gasped slightly and was a little tired from it. Then he looked back at

    Claudia cried by her yelling and was afraid to look at the man in the bed.But Lyra was pulling her hair, and she couldn't escape.The sharp pain in her knees and scalp stimulated her nerves and she screamed. She was on the verge of tearing down her defenses."I'm not wrong! I was just trying to protect myself. It's all your fault Lyra. You caused this!""Reginald deserved what he got! I wouldn't be at Ethel's mercy if he hadn't insisted on giving you the inheritance and pushing me to the impasse!"She and Lyra had never gotten along. And Lyra had said before that once she took the inheritance, Claudia would be thrown out of the Lloyd Manor and she would never live well.Claudia had been pampered in the Lloyd Manor for so many years. If she was kicked out, it was equivalent to sentence her to death. She had no ability to survive alone and she was not going to survive! But it would be different if Ethel took the inheritance and she could still be Mrs. Lloyd in the future.She was not w

    Collin's face instantly turned pale and he was dumbfounded by Lyra's words.He didn't expect that Malcolm would give her all his property and shares for Rara, regardless of the honor and interest of the entire White Corp family.It was really ironic and funny."I'm sorry."In addition to these three words, he seemed to explain more, but all seemed to be useless.Lyra wiped away her tears and felt disappointed for Collin."Even if you don't do any of these things, it's your connivance that allows Ethel to be so reckless. Because you shield and hide the truth about her victimizing me, it makes me to live in exile in Frayton when I was fifteen and suffer for six years in the Freeman family.""This injury can't be offset by a sentence that you have punished her heavily and made her have no jobs for six months!""On the Crane Bay Bridge in Frayton, she teamed up with Caden and got forty killers on the black market to kill me, forcing me to jump into the cold water!""In Frayton's Fantalure
