"No." The doctor shook his head.Sydney was relieved.That was good.When she saw the doctor's serious expression, she thought she had some terminal illness.“Then, what's wrong with me, Doctor?” Sydney looked at the doctor and asked again.The doctor put down the checklist in his hand. "I'm not too sure. You should go to the obstetrics and gynecology department. Your condition is under the scope of the OB-GYN department.”The OB-GYN department? Sydney's mouth twitched.She just had a stomach ache.Why did she have to go to the OB-GYN department?“Yes, my diagnosis is that you’re pregnant, so I suggest you go there,” the doctor nodded and answered.Sydney's pupils shrank and her mind went blank with a buzz. It took a long time before she recovered to open her mouth and say with a hoarse voice, "I... I'm pregnant?"“I believe so,” the doctor replied.Sydney's body swayed for a moment. She felt like the whole world was spinning.Pregnant.How could she be pregnant?Sydney
Suddenly, there was the sound of soft sobbing.Julien stopped thinking about it and opened the door of the consultation room.Lyra seemed to have suffered a shock. She first froze and then immediately turned around and went inside."Lyra," Julien called out to her.Lyra stopped and raised her hand to wipe her tears before she turned around again with a forced smile on her face. "Julien, you're done talking to Finn?"Julien hummed and stared at her for two seconds before asking, "Did you hear everything?"Lyra nodded, and her eyes which had stopped tearing up once again overflowed with moisture. "Julien, do I... do I really have a dissociative personality disorder?"Julien's thin lips moved. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he said nothing and only hummed in agreement.Lyra covered her face and sobbed. "I'm sorry, Julien. I didn't know. I really didn't know...""It's okay." Julien held her in his arms, feeling heartbroken. "It's not your fault. You don't need to apol
At that thought, Lyra clenched her fists and said in a grim voice, "That's why we mustn't let Julien know that Sydney is carrying his child. At the very least, he can't find out until the child is aborted."Otherwise, with Julien's responsible character, he would remarry Sydney and let her give birth to the child.Finn nodded slightly. "What do you want me to do?"“The James family is a medical family. You should’ve the ability to influence all hospitals in Port City. I want you to keep an eye on Sydney. No matter which hospital's OB-GYN department she goes to, tell her that there's a problem with the child in her belly and that it can't be kept. The best thing is to let her die on the operating table.”Lyra looked at him with a terrible smile.Finn prided himself on not being a good person, but at that moment, he could not help but be stunned at her ruthlessness.In his heart, he could not help but wonder if this ruthless woman in front of him was the little girl who threw cauti
When Julien heard her worried words, he got up from the ground with a soft look in his eyes and wiped his mouth. Just as he was about to answer that he was okay, he saw her pass by him and walk toward Luke.Sydney took Luke's hand and flipped it over. "Is your hand okay?"Luke swept his anger away and chuckled. "Yeah, I'm fine.""That's good." Sydney sighed in relief.Julien's eyes darkened and the air around him instantly became cold. His expression was also very ugly.It seemed like he had been flattering himself. She was not worried about him at all.Well, Luke was her boyfriend, so it was only natural that she was worried about Luke. However, why was his heart feeling so upset?Julien's fists clenched at his sides, his face full of frost.Sydney did not look at him and poked Luke's forehead crossly. "Geez, why did you suddenly hit someone? You scared me to death.""It's his fault for being so shameless." Luke snorted coldly at Julien.Sydney's expression also cooled as sh
“Nothing,” Sydney closed her eyes and replied in a light voice.When Julien saw that she was unwilling to speak, he pursed his lips and his expression turned cold. He then reached his hand into the car window.“What are you doing?” Sydney looked at him in shock.Julien did not answer. Instead, he reached for the door lock and unlocked it, then proceeded to open the car door.“You…”“Come out,” Julien ordered.Sydney remained in the car and refused to move. “Why must I do as you say? Who are you to me? What exactly do you want?”“Sit at the back. I’ll send you to the hospital,” Julien said.Surprise flashed over Sydney’s eyes, but she turned her head and said, “No need. I can go by myself.”“Are you still planning to drive in this state?” Julien asked coldly when he saw Sydney’s pale face and cold sweat across her forehead.This woman did not care about her own safety at all!Sydney hugged her abdomen and sneered. “Whether I’m driving or not is none of your business. Who are
Brandon could also tell that the tricks they had been using were all futile against Sydney. Moreover, Sydney had the support of the mysterious man.If they want to bring Sydney down, then they must first expose the mysterious man behind her. This matter could not be rushed and must be done slowly.Lyra remained silent. She had her head lowered, and no one knew what she was thinking.Suddenly, the door of the interrogation room opened.A policeman came in together with Sydney.Sydney’s cold eyes swept across the three of them, and she said sarcastically, “I didn’t know that President Madden and Mrs. Madden are here too.”Mrs. Madden turned her head away and ignored Sydney.Brandon snorted and did not say a word.Only Lyra looked at Sydney with teary eyes and replied, “Ms. Raines, I’m really sorry. I didn't mean to push you down the stairs. I just…”“Dissociative identity disorder, right?” Sydney curled her lips mockingly.Lyra bit her lip. “So, Ms. Raines already knew.”Sydne
“…” Julien was silent.He rubbed his temples. “It’s fine, then. Never mind if you can’t find it.”Since Lyra said that she did not know who snatched the bag, he could not force her either.“I’m sorry, Julien. I got into trouble again.” Lyra bit her lip in remorse, and her eyes were red.When Julien saw her guilty look, he tried his best to soften his voice. “This has nothing to do with you. Don’t blame yourself.”“Lyra, you should listen to Julien,” Brandon advised.Mrs. Madden nodded as well.When Lyra saw that everyone was comforting her, her tears turned into a smile. “I know.”“Julien, how do you plan to resolve Lyra’s case?” Brandon looked at Julien as he asked.Julien lowered his eyes. “You’ll find out tomorrow.”When they saw that Julien did not wish to elaborate more, although Brandon was unhappy, he stopped asking.The entire journey was filled with silence. Half an hour later, they arrived at the Madden Residence and the three of them got out of the car.Julien ro
Julien blinked and nodded.When he stepped out of the elevator just now, he felt a little dizzy and knew that he might be running a fever.However, he still wanted to see Sydney, so he did not bother.Sydney put down her hand and stretched her palm toward Julien.Julien looked at her in confusion. “What?”“Phone,” Sydney frowned and said impatiently, “Give me your phone. I’ll call someone from the Flint Mansion to pick you up.”“No need for that.” Julien rejected her offer.Sydney smiled. “Are you planning to drive back when you’re like this?”Julien pursed his lips and said nothing.Sydney was getting a headache from this man. “You don’t want someone to pick you up, and you can’t drive either. What do you want…? Hey… Hey!”Before she could finish her sentence, the man before her suddenly let go of the door handle and his large figure fell toward her.Julien’s entire body fell toward Sydney, and it almost broke her back.“Hey, can you be more shameless? Why did you fall tow
Chapter 1200 A Great Pair of Teacher and StudentThat was for sure.But those students wouldn't be Sydney.Sydney would always be special to Julien.He would always be a gentleman to Sydney.Even now that he was acting as Sydney's teacher, he was gentle and patient with her.Sydney had feared that Julien would lose patience and think her stupid when she couldn't understand what he was saying.She knew Julien was never a patient man.So she had been nervous. She was afraid that Julien would give up on her if she couldn't understand what he was talking about.She would be embarrassed in that situation. And she needed to find herself a new teacher.However, it turned out that Sydney was overly concerned.Julien was very patient with her. When Sydney didn't understand him, he didn't become impatient or think she was stupid. He patiently explained to her until she understood it. He was so patient with her. Nothing made him agitated.Gradually, Sydney learned that he wouldn't be
Chapter 1199 Teacher and StudentSydney's face and tone were both serious.Julien knew that if he was still unwilling to do as he was told, she would definitely do what she had said.Sydney was such a person.Even though their current relationship was close, she was not willing to take much advantage of him."Alas." Julien shook his head resignedly, pulling over her office chair and sitting down. "Is it okay now?"Sydney nodded in satisfaction. "Yes."With that, she also sat down on another chair that was slightly worse and then added, "Julien, don't think that I'm stubborn and unwilling to accept your goodness to me. I know that you want to do more for me, and you also want to let me sit more comfortably. I'm touched, and I accept it too, but if I really accept all of your kindness, especially when you're already helping me, it will only make me more and more greedy. "In the end, I will take all of your goodness to me as a matter of course, and over time, I will even forget t
Chapter 1198 Julien Was Going to Teach SydneySydney's eyes reveal a look of surprise.Julien noticed it, but deliberately teased her, "Why? Can't I come up?""Why not?" Sydney walked up to him and took his hand, smiling. "You're more popular at Skylight than I am. Even if I forbid letting you in, the staff will let you in. What can I do about that?""Nothing." Julien shook his head honestly."That's it!" Sydney pulled him inside. "I didn't think you'd be here this early, though. You usually get here around almost six. It's only a little after five now."So when Sydney saw him, she was surprised."I finished things, so I came over early. Are you done with your work?" Julien followed Sydney. He asked as he glanced at her desk.Sydney's desk was piled high with papers. Julien frowned at the sight. He liked to keep things neat and organized. "You've had a busy day, haven't you?"Otherwise, Sydney's desk wouldn't be this cluttered.Sydney didn't release Julien's hand until she le
Chapter 1197 It Was Good to LeaveYuri was one of Luke's best friends, so he knew very well what kind of person Yuri was.Such a slowcoach did something so quickly. It was conceivable that Luke was very important in Yuri's heart.Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken Luke's request so seriously.So how could Luke not be surprised and happy?As for Sydney, she didn't know Yuri. Nor did she know what kind of person he was.Now, after hearing Luke's words, she realized that Yuri was a person who worked very slowly.However, it was such an inefficient person who did her a favor so quickly. Sydney felt very touched."Maybe it was because you approached him that he did it so quickly, and of course, it was also possible that after being the boss all these years, he became much more efficient." Sydney guessed with a smile.Luke rubbed his chin and nodded. "It makes sense, but whatever the reason, it's good that Yuri got things done quickly.""Yeah, I called you mainly because I wanted yo
Chapter 1196 Strange LukeYet Sean was panicking at the moment.Why?Of course, because she didn't want her lie to be exposed.It was not like she was really leaving the country, so how could she possibly let Sydney see her off? Her lie would be exposed if Sydney went there. Sean held the cell phone with both hands and hurriedly explained, "Because I bought a ticket for an 11 PM flight. It's late, so I don't want to let you go back and forth. It's too troublesome. Besides, if you go to see me off so late at night, Mr. Flint will definitely not feel at ease."That was true.Sydney rubbed her chin. "But why did you choose such a late flight?"Sean continued to lie. "To catch up on my sleep on the plane so that when I get abroad, I can immediately go to work.""I see. Alright, then I won't see you off, but send me a message to let me know you board the plane smoothly. Otherwise, I won't be relieved," Sydney said.Knowing that Sydney had given up on the idea of going to see her
Chapter 1195 Reason for ResignationSydney sighed, "It wasn't the HR department that told me. Gianna went there for something and overheard it by accident, so she told me.""I see." Sean understood.'I can't believe Gianna said it. 'I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. 'It looked like God didn't want her to hide it from Ms. Raines either. Otherwise, how would Gianna have happened to show up at the HR department at that time?'"So it's true that you are quitting?" Sydney asked, pursing her lips.Sean nodded. "Yes."Sydney's heart sank after she got a definite answer from Sean, the person in question. "Why? There has to be a reason, right? I don't believe you have considered resignation for a long time. Gianna and I didn't hear about you quitting or feel you had the intention before you took a leave of absence and suddenly offered to resign. I never want to believe that nothing has happened to you. At the very beginning, Gianna and I guessed that you had a problem with
Chapter 1194 Sean Had Decided to Gave Birth to the BabyLuke wanted to ask, 'Can't you see I'm not happy?'The words were on his tongue, but he couldn't say them.Upset, Luke took a packet of cigarettes out of his pocket, pulled one out of it, and put it in his mouth. He then took out his lighter and was about to light the cigarette.However, just as the flame neared the cigarette, he suddenly paused. He glanced at the bed on which Sean was drinking the medicine, not paying attention to him. Then he put the lighter away and put the cigarette back in the packet.'I’m not going to smoke it. It's not a good cigarette. I'm going to change cigarettes next time. I didn't quit smoking for that woman.' Luke compressed his lips and thought to himself.Just then, Sean's cell phone rang, which broke the silence of the room.Sean finished her medicine. Her mouth was full of bitterness. She put the bowl back on the bedside table and hurriedly picked up a glass of water and took a sip of wate
Chapter 1193Gianna trusted Luke, so she didn't tell Sydney that Luke also knew Sean had been pregnant.She didn't feel the need to tell Sydney. "Mr. Chase will keep Sean's secret anyway."Convinced of this idea, Gianna had no worries at all. She looked at Sydney and asked, "Ms. Raines, do you think Sean quit the job because the miscarriage hurt her health?""I don't know, but it's possible." Sydney responded, giving a worried look.Sydney didn't have many female friends. Sean and Sharon were her only friends.Sharon followed Cayden to Jackal City. They had very little contact after that.Sydney called Sharon a couple of times, but the phone was never answered. Sydney guessed that Sharon must be busy or Cayden had assigned Sharon some tasks, so Sharon could not answer her calls.Last time when Sydney contacted Sharon, Sharon told her that Cayden didn't trust her and that he wouldn't allow her to follow him around as his bodyguard.Syndey hadn't talked to Sharon in a long time,
Chapter 1192 Sean Wants to Resign"Okay, I'll do it right away." The secretary nodded in response and picked up the file. "Then Ms. Raines, I'll take my leave."Sydney waved her hand. "Go ahead. Thank you.""You're welcome," Gianna smiled faintly and turned to head for the door.But after taking a few steps, she suddenly thought of something, stopped, and turned around. "By the way, Ms. Raines, there's something I don't know if I should say or not.""Just say it." Sydney lifted her chin slightly, signaling Gianna to continue.Seeing this, Gianna no longer hesitated. Standing upright, she said, "Here is the thing. This morning I went to HR Department. Secretarial Department recently needs to recruit a new assistant, so I went over there to ask if there were any suitable candidates.""Well, I know about this." Sydney nodded. "Go on."She knew that what her secretary wanted to say couldn't be this matter.Sure enough, Gianna took a breath and continued, "Then I heard them talking
