That night, Mr. Utterson goes home feeling worried. He takes out Dr. Jekyll’s will from his safe. Dr. Jekyll is a good friend and client. The will says that if Dr. Jekyll dies or disappears for more than three months, all his possessions should go to Mr. Edward Hyde. Mr. Utterson does not like this will and is concerned about who Mr. Hyde is.
He decides to visit Dr. Lanyon, another old friend of Dr. Jekyll. Mr. Utterson asks Dr. Lanyon if he knows Mr. Hyde, but Dr. Lanyon has never heard of him. Dr. Lanyon mentions that he and Dr. Jekyll have not spoken much because they disagreed on some scientific ideas.
That night, Mr. Utterson cannot sleep well. He has nightmares about Mr. Hyde harming people and about Dr. Jekyll being in danger. He decides to find Mr. Hyde and learn more about him.
Mr. Utterson begins to watch the strange door that Mr. Enfield told him about. He waits there every day. One evening, he finally sees Mr. Hyde approaching the door. Mr. Utterson introduces himself, but Mr. Hyde is unfriendly and asks how he knows him. Mr. Utterson feels that there is something evil and inhuman about Mr. Hyde.
After their meeting, Mr. Utterson goes to Dr. Jekyll’s house. The servant, Poole, tells him that Dr. Jekyll is not at home but that Mr. Hyde has a key and can come and go as he pleases. This worries Mr. Utterson even more. He thinks that Mr. Hyde might be planning to harm Dr. Jekyll to get his money.
