“Grandma!” Jayden strode over in a hurry and caught the falling Old Madam Flint. It was then Felicia came down from the second floor and saw the terrifying scene. “Jayden, what happened to Old Madam Flint?” “I don’t know! She just fainted!” Jayden was terrified. Felicia ran over and took over. She checked on Old Madam Flint and even performed CPR. “Jayden, call the ambulance!” “Oh, oh right!” Jayden reacted. He looked around and saw the phone that fell off Old Madam Flint’s hands. He grabbed it immediately and found out that the call was still ongoing. Sydney’s voice came from the other end. “Grandma? Grandma?” She heard the little smack from the phone when it fell and Jayden’s panic screams. She believed something must have happened to Old Madam Flint, which fueled her anxiety. However, Old Madam Flint’s voice could no longer be heard through the phone. She was nowhere near the house either, so she had no idea what happened. She clutched her phone tightly and kept on
Recalling the confrontation with Cayden, Sydney looked down. “Nothing happened.” She was lying and Luke noticed her reaction. He raised a brow and said, “Really? But you don’t seem fine. After I got the wheelchair yesterday, I ran into Cayden and his look gave me chills. “He looked grim. I asked what happened but he didn’t say anything. When I came back, I also noticed the look on your face. So, I guess something must’ve happened between you and him, but I didn’t ask because you looked moody.” Sydney bit her lips in silence. Luke sat down beside her and said, “Come on, maybe I can give a piece of advice or two.” “It’s nothing.” Sydney also took a seat in the chair. “I just found out about Cay’s mental issue, so…” As for the poisoning, she decided to keep it a secret. First of all, she did not want Luke to worry and second, she did not want to leave a crack in Luke and Cayden’s friendship. Luke knew Cayden for a long time now. Although not as long as she knew Cayden, the
“I think it’s going to be a challenge.” Luke laid his hands out. Sydney looked at him. He bitterly chuckled and said, “I tried to convince him once but he didn’t listen to me at all. That’s why I said it’s going to be a challenge.” Sydney looked down. “No matter what he says, he can’t be like this forever, or he’ll only hurt others and himself. I’ll find time to talk to him.” “Okay. I’m counting on you. Let’s go.” Luke got up and grabbed the luggage. Sydney nodded. “Let’s go.” The two of them came out of the ward and headed to the elevator. Before Luke could press the button, the elevator door opened. Jayden came out in a hurry and he almost bumped into Sydney. “Darling! Careful!” Fortunately, Luke reacted quickly and pulled Sydney to the side, saving her from being knocked over. Jayden heard Luke’s voice and stopped. He then realized Sydney was right in front of him. “Sydney!” “Jayden? Why are you here?” Sydney was curious. “Grandma and Bro were hospitalized.
Noticing Sydney spacing out, Luke moved closer and asked, “Darling, what’s wrong?” Sydney regained her composure and saw his face inches away from hers. Shocked, she faltered backward before she averted his gaze by looking down. “N-Nothing.” Luke squinted. ‘What happened? Darling seems to be avoiding me.’ “Sydney, can we go to Grandma’s ward now?” Jayden could not tolerate watching Sydney being intimate with other men. To him, Sydney belonged to his brother. He had to help his brother to keep an eye out for the men around her, keeping them away from her. Sydney nodded. “Let’s go.” Then, she turned to Luke and added, “Luke, I’m going over.” “Okay,” Luke said. Sydney signaled Jayden with a glance before the two of them headed the opposite way. The ward section that they were at was the luxurious one, so it was no surprise that Old Madam Flint was nearby. Half a minute later, Jayden stopped before a ward. “Here it is.” Sydney noticed Old Madam Flint’s name on the p
A thick layer of gauze covered most of Julien’s back. The injuries he sustained were self-explanatory. “Sydney, let’s go in and have a look,” Jayden said as he put his hand on the door handle. Sydney shook her head. “No. I’ve already seen him. I should go.” “But…” Jayden wanted to convince her otherwise. Sydney tightened her lips. “Jayden, I don’t want to come here at all and you forced me to. Now I’ve seen him, so don’t push it any further.” Jayden flushed. “I’m not pushing it. I just want you to accompany Julien!” “Why should I? Who is he to me?” Sydney stared at him coldly. Jayden’s mouth opened. He wanted to say she was his brother’s wife but then he realized they had already divorced a long time ago. It was the realization that stopped his words from coming out. Sydney shook her head and went back to the elevator. This time, Jayden did not stop her. Maybe he realized he was in no position to stop her. Sydney pressed the button in front of the elevator. When
When Luke heard that Sydney wanted to talk about Cayden, his eyes drooped somewhat despondently and he said in a sulking tone, "Darling, I thought you wanted to discuss something important with me, but it turns out that it's just about that kid. You wound my heart.""Enough!" Sydney pinched her temples. "Luke, let me ask you. Can you contact Cay's manager? Ask his manager where he is. Is he working or did he go somewhere else?""Fine, I'll call and ask later." Luke scratched his somewhat messy hair.Sydney hummed. "Thanks.""Don't mention it." Luke shook his head then said, "By the way, will you be resting at home today, or are you planning to go to Skylight?""I'll go to Skylight. In my situation, there's no need to rest for so long." Sydney rubbed her still somewhat uncomfortable belly.Luke originally wanted to persuade her to stay home and rest, but he knew that she was stubborn and would not listen even if he did, so he sighed and said, "Fine. I'll go to Skylight later to he
After hearing those words, Julien's dull eyes visibly brightened up.He raised his eyes slightly. "Really?""Of course," Jayden lowered his eyes and replied somewhat guiltily.'Sydney did come to see Julien yesterday, but it was me who forced her to come. She didn't want to come by herself.'However, Jayden was not planning to tell his brother this. Otherwise, Julien would be disappointed.Fortunately, Julien was immersed in the joy of Sydney's visit yesterday and did not pay attention to Jayden.Otherwise, Jayden's poor acting skills would be exposed at a glance.Julien curled his lips slightly. When he thought that Sydney came here yesterday, he no longer felt the pain from the injury on his back.She came to see him.Could he boldly think that she was caring for him?Just as he was thinking, there were several footsteps outside the ward.Jayden looked over and saw the people clearly through the transparent glass wall."Julien, it's Dr. James and Grandma," he said.Julie
It was true that soup was nutritious, but it would not help his wound heal.However, for the sake of this dumb brother's concern for him, he would not bring it up.At that moment, the sound of footsteps came from outside the ward again.Julien looked up to see Zach standing outside, waving at him.Julien nodded slightly, signaling that Zach could come in.Zach opened the door and entered. "President Flint."Julien hummed. "How was the company doing in the past two days when I was unconscious?""The company is fine. I told the board of directors that you went abroad because of something urgent. No one except us knows about your injury and hospitalization, so there's no problem in the stock market," Zach stood by the bed and answered.Julien raised his hand and massaged his temples. "Good. Bring some urgent documents over in the afternoon.""But President Flint, your body...""It's fine." Julien closed his eyes slightly and said tiredly, "Even if I'm in the hospital, I can't ju
