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 371 Sydney Lost Her SightZach had said what he was supposed to say, and then he wheeled Julien out of the ward, leaving Luke there alone to think about it.After about two minutes, Luke came to his senses and understood what Zach had said, but Julien and Zach were already gone."Shit!" Luke stomped his foot.Julien was so shameless. Earlier on that day, he wanted to have Sydney transferred to the hospital he stayed in, but Sydney couldn't, so Julien himself came to the hospital where Sydney was.How shameless he was! Damn it!Luke’s body was shaking with anger, but there was nothing he could do.Julien was already in the hospital. What could Luke do? He couldn't kick Julien out, could he?He could not force Julien to leave. Not to mention that he didn't own the hospital.The only thing he could do was to tell the caregiver not to open the door for Julien after he left, and not to give Julien any opportunity to access Sydney.Thinking about this, Luke immediately turned around
