"He's Hunter's nephew. Their family is busy, so he asked me to take care of the little one for two days." Sydney squeezed Davey's small and fleshy hand.The child's hand was pleasant to pinch, so it felt very satisfying to squeeze.Sydney could not help but squeeze two more times.Finn lifted his chin in understanding. "Well, you should go to Julien now. I still have patients I need to see, so I leave first.""Okay, go ahead." Sydney nodded and took Davey to the ward she stayed at before.When she arrived at the ward, the door suddenly opened.Velma came out from inside and was stunned when she saw Sydney. Then, her expression instantly turned mean. "What are you doing here?"Sydney did not expect to meet her former wicked mother-in-law. She raised her brows and asked, "Why can't I be here?"Velma snorted coldly. "This is Julien's ward. Are you here to get back together with him?"Sydney laughed. "Get back together with him? Why would I want to do that? Is he that desirable? E
Sydney's lips twitched. "Don't you know that I don't have a son?"Sophie smiled in embarrassment. "Sorry, President Raines. I don't know what I was thinking. Don't be angry.""I'm not angry. This is the nephew of a friend of mine, Davey." Then, Sydney gently pushed Davey to Sophie. "Davey, this is Ms. Tillman.""Hi, Ms. Tillman.""Hello there." Sophie's heart melted.Davey was too cute."Have some candy." Sophie suddenly remembered that she shoved some candy into her pocket when she left home that morning. She hurriedly took them out and handed them to Davey.Davey did not take them and looked at Sydney instead.Sydney nodded slightly.Only then did Davey reach out to take it. "Thank you, Ms. Tillman.""You're welcome." Sophie's eyes curved in a smile when she saw him take the candy.Sydney could not help but raise her brows.This was her first time seeing Sophie smile so heartily.After all, Sophie's nickname in the office was “the Ancient One”.She dressed in old-fashio
Sydney looked at his tiny back, and the smile in her eyes grew deeper.Soon, Davey came out after washing his hands and held them out in front of Sydney so that she could see that he was clean.Sydney praised him for doing a good job, and he put down his hand happily.After leaving Skylight, she drove him back to Shallow Bay.When it was time to cook, she found that there was no more ketchup at home. She planned to go downstairs to buy a bottle from the neighborhood supermarket.Unwrapping her apron, she walked out of the kitchen and said to Davey, who was watching TV on the living room sofa, "Davey, I'm going down to buy some ketchup. You stay at home and open the door for me later, okay?""Okay, Aunty," Davey replied."Good boy." Sydney went to the porch.Davey followed to see her off.Sydney changed into her shoes, thought of something, and reminded him, "Also, don't just open the door directly if you hear the doorbell ring, okay? Check the video intercom first and see if i
Luke thought that something happened to a resident of the apartment.Unexpectedly, he saw Sydney.He forgot to ask Davey who he was and why he was calling Sydney “Aunty”.He hurriedly went forward to check Sydney's condition and found that it was serious.Her wrist was cut and dripping in blood, but the most serious injury was her head. There was a large, swollen lump on the back of her head.Luke knew that he could not delay it, so he directly picked Sydney up. "Kiddo, I'm taking my darling to the hospital. Come with me!"He still had many questions to ask the child."Mm-hm!" Davey nodded.Luke carried Sydney and ran out of the staircase as fast as he could.Davey also followed behind on his short legs.In the car, Luke used his voice to set the GPS navigation to the nearest hospital and drove her there.Ten minutes later, she entered the emergency room.Luke and Davey sighed in relief and sat in the chairs to the side, anxiously waiting.Then, Luke looked at Davey. "Hey, kiddo. Where
At Shallow Bay.Luke was watching the monitoring in the control room when the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.He guessed that it might be Davey, so he hurriedly took out his phone. Seeing that it was from Davey, he immediately answered, "Hey, kiddo. Is my darling out?""Yeah, Aunty came out." Davey looked at Sydney who was hooked up to a ventilator, and his eyes reddened.Luke was overjoyed. "Great. I'll be right over!"He hung up the phone and looked at the staff in the control room. "Give me a copy of the video feed. The police will come later. Tell them that I went to the hospital.""Understood, Mr. Chase." The staff nodded.Luke picked up the flash drive and walked away quickly.Soon, he arrived at the hospital.Davey told him the ward number, and he arrived at Sydney's ward.Inside, Davey and a few doctors were present.Luke went in and immediately looked at the hospital bed. His expression changed when he saw Sydney. "Why is she on a ventilator?"After all, being h
Julien pursed his lips, suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and waved his hand slightly, signaling Zach to knock on the door.Zach understood and went forward to knock.The sound of the knock interrupted Luke and Finn's conversation.The both of them turned their heads in unison to look over and saw Julien.Finn was just slightly surprised and did not react much.However, Luke's expression instantly darkened. "Why are you here? Who told you to come?"Julien ignored him and asked Zach to push him in.Luke saw this and became furious. "Hey, I didn't say you could enter. What are you doing here? Where are your manners?""This is Sydney's ward. You have no right to stop me," Julien glanced at him and said in an indifferent voice.Although Luke was indignant, he could not refute Julien's words and could only snort coldly. "You only dare to say that because my darling is unconscious. If she's awake, she definitely won't let you in."Julien frowned and ignored him.In Julien's
Brandon adjusted his tie. "Let the servants do that kind of thing. You don't need to do it yourself."Then, he called a maid over."Miss, you can hand me the garbage." The maid reached out to Clarice.Clarice could not refuse in front of Brandon, so she could only hand over the bag.However, she was reluctant to let go.The maid gave her a strange look, not understanding why Clarice was reluctant to part with a garbage bag.However, the maid did not think much about it and simply went outside with the bag.Clarice looked at the maid's back and clenched her hands by her sides. She seemed to be nervous about something.However, she soon relaxed her hands and her body.Forget it. There was only one place where the family threw their trash. No matter who took out the trash, the results would not change.At that thought, Clarice curled her lips and smiled for an instant, but she quickly returned to her usual appearance. She looked at Brandon and asked, "By the way, Mom and I will
"You're saying it was a woman who attacked Sydney?" Julien narrowed his eyes.Finn nodded. "That's right. Although this person is deliberately wearing large-sized clothes to cover her body, her walking posture and occasionally exposed wrists are enough to prove that it's a woman.""Could it be Lyra?" Zach guessed. "Only Lyra has a hatred for Ms. Raines."Julien shook his head. "It's not her. She's being monitored by the police 24/7 and can't even leave the hospital now.""That's right. It's not Lyra." Finn pushed up his glasses. "I've seen Sydney's wrist injury. According to how messy the wound is, it should be the first time that woman did something like this. At that time, her heart was most likely under great pressure, and her hands were shaking, so it created a messy wound. Lyra is a ruthless character. I've seen with my own eyes her wringing a cat's neck. Her movements were clean and neat."Zach hissed in a cold breath. "That woman is a pervert."Finn curled his lips. "A pervert?
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
