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
As Sydney thought, the phone in her hand vibrated.She hurriedly looked down and saw that Julien had sent a video.She did not know what was in the video, but she knew that it would not be a good idea to play it now, so she looked up and said to Luke apologetically, "Luke, the work is almost done, so you can go back first. I'll treat you to dinner next time.""Darling, you're deliberately chasing me away." Luke gave her a side glance. "Is it because you don't want me to watch the video that Julien sent you?"Sydney's hand squeezing the phone tightened for a moment.Did she act that obviously?Forget it. Since he guessed it, there was no need to lie to him.She rubbed her brows. "Sorry, Luke. This is a private matter between Julien and me, so...""So, you can't let me know?" Luke crossed his arms.Sydney pursed her lips in acquiescence.She did not intend to tell Luke what happened that night between Julien and her three months ago, let alone let him find out that she had been
"An opportunity?" Sydney's brows knitted in confusion when she heard that. "You mean...""Don't you want to send Lyra to jail? This time, you can. That man is a witness. I've already sent someone to catch him. He'll confess to Lyra's crime, and you can send her to jail," Julien said in a low voice.Originally, he asked Zach to find a way to set up a trap for Lyra to break the law so that she would be thrown into prison.However, Lyra had been in the hospital these days. Even after being discharged from the hospital, she stayed in the Madden residence and did not leave her home, so Zach could not find an opportunity to set a trap for her. That was why Lyra was still roaming free outside.However, now that proof of her crimes had been handed to him, he naturally would not let it go.Sydney's eyes lit up.Yes, this was an opportunity.Lyra was still on probation. If she broke the law during probation, she would be put in jail.Although she did not break the law during the probatio
Hunter did not know about Julien's ruthless and jealous thoughts.He paced back and forth irritably. "It's over. Sydney knows that you're Z-H, and she knows that you're the child's father. In that case, she knows that I helped you hide the truth from her. What should I do? I'm going to lose her before I obtain her!"Julien's eyes narrowed dangerously at those words.'He still wants to obtain Sydney?'How bold!'Unfortunately, Sydney can only be mine!'"No!" Hunter stopped pacing as if he had decided something. He looked like he threw caution to the wind. "I have to go to Sydney and take the initiative to make amends to her. Even if she blames me now, I have to express my remorse. Maybe she won't hold it against me if she sees me take the initiative to apologize."After saying that, he turned and left the ward without even saying goodbye to Julien.Julien did not manage to stop him and could only watch him leave.At first, he was worried that Sydney would forgive Hunter because
Talk?Sydney pursed her lips.She more or less knew what he wanted to talk about, but she did not think there was anything else to say.Apart from Hunter's concealment and deception, the main reason why she broke off her friendship with him was because of his feelings for her.Julien said that Hunter liked her.Thus, she had been secretly observing him.However, she could not find any traces of him liking her.Nevertheless, Julien would not lie, so just in case, she chose to break off her friendship with Hunter.She could not reciprocate his feelings, so it was better to just stay away from him before he told her.That way, maybe his feelings for her would gradually fade....The next day, Sydney was still asleep when she was awakened by a phone call.Without opening her eyes, her hand reached out of the bed and reflexively groped around the bedside table.When she touched her phone, she swiped the answer icon using muscle memory and brought the phone to her ear. "Who is t
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
