Chapter 443 Julien Wakes upIn the circumstances, Sydney didn't have time to feel shy but reached out to take off Julien's clothes.She took off his suit jacket easily. However, in the next second, she was shocked by the scene in front of her.The white shirt on his back was stained by blood.The bright red blood had blended with water and turned into pink because he was soaked in the water just now."Oh, my God!" She covered her mouth subconsciously and trembled.Why did he bleed heavily?She had thought that he had hit his back and his back was bruised.To her surprise, he bled!Soon, she remembered that the Old Madam gave him a whipping not long ago. His wounds might haven't healed yet. Thus, he bled because his wounds opened up again.She took a deep breath and tried her best to calm down. She reached out her hands again and took off his shirt carefully.Then she saw his back's condition.It was shocking.The skin on his back was mutilated, and his back was covered wit
Chapter 444 Julien's ScarThen Julien noticed other things. 'Why is there a cave here? And where did all these quilts, cooking utensils, and other stuff come from?' "Where did all this stuff come from?" Julien asked, grabbing the quilt covering his body.Sydney explained, "They were already in the cave when we came here.""The cave was equipped with these things?" Julien raised his eyebrows. He was rather surprised.Sydney nodded her head, "Yes. I intended to carry you out of the forest to see if there's anyone out there. If we meet anyone, we'll be rescued. But before we got out of the forest, the sky turned dark, and it was going to rain. Then I found this cave. And I brought you here to hide from the rain. When we came in, I found these things.""So that's it." Julien nodded, and then he frowned, "Could this cave be inhabited by some fugitive?"Some fugitives used to hide in the mountains.So when a cave was equipped with these things, it was common for one to think that the
Chapter 445 A Good Listener"She is indeed my father’s mistress." Julien rubbed his eyebrows and said.Sydney's eyes widened. "What? She is your father’s mistress?""Yeah.""But why are you still treating her...""She is not the other woman as you think, because she didn’t destroy the love between my parents. Actually, my parents didn’t love each other. They got married just because of family interests, and it was their responsibility to have a child. After I was born, my parents separated. Later, my father knew Velma and fell in love with her." Julien leaned back against the stone wall.Sydney nodded understandingly. "I see."It was the first time that Julien had told Sydney about his parents.‘Unexpectedly, his parents didn't love each other.’"And then? After your father fell in love with Velma, didn't your mother get angry?" Sydney asked again, looking at Julien.‘Even if she didn't love Julien’s father, he was her husband anyway.’‘It should be impossible for her to ign
Chapter 446 They Were Finally SavedSydney blinked blankly.She remembered staying half a meter away from Julien when she went to bed the night before.Sydney thought, "Could it be that he leaned over in the middle of the night?"As soon as this speculation came up, it was rejected by Sydney herself.Because Julien had gone to bed earlier than her, and he was in the same position as he was now, he shouldn't have woken up in the middle of the night.He didn't wake up, and he was so close to her. And the only explanation was that she had become restless and squeezed in!Thinking about it, Sydney suddenly became a little embarrassed. She didn't expect that she would be so restless when she fell asleep.But soon, Sydney calmed down.She thought, "Since no one saw my move, as long as I didn't mention it to Julien, he won't know!"After stretching, Sydney lifted the quilt and went to the fire.The fire had died out because all of the wood had been consumed. The firewood, however,
Chapter 447 Zach's DiscontentSydney hurriedly shook her head. "It won't happen again, I promise.""That's more like it," Luke grunted and let her go.Sydney lifted her arms, rubbed her temples, and asked, "By the way, how long did I sleep?""Two days," Luke replied.With her mouth agape, Sydney said, "Two days? I was in bed for two days?""Yeah." Luke nodded, "According to Finn, it's because you were stressed out.""I see." Sydney understood the situation and lifted her chin, "How did I end up in Port City?"As far as she could remember, she passed out in the small courtyard of someone's home.She had no idea what happened afterward."You were brought back by Julien's special assistant, Zach. You were with Julien. Zach called me, and I rushed to the hospital, happening to see Julien and you being sent to the emergency room. I asked Zach what had happened and learned that you were abducted and fell off a cliff. Julien jumped off to save you. When I got the news, my heart almo
Chapter 448 Cayden Had ChangedFinn looked away.Sydney pursed her pale lips and looked at him unhappily, "Dr. James, you can't do that."Finn pushed his glasses, "Don't worry. I was just deliberately scaring him. I didn't intend to do that.""Really?" Sydney narrowed her eyes. Obviously, she didn't believe him.Finn was a doctor, but he was more like a demon. When he had mistaken Lyra for her in the past, he almost killed her for Lyra.So Sydney definitely believed that he would do something to Julien and that he dared to do that."Of course. You are the last person I'm willing to disappoint." Finn patted her shoulder, "Okay. You can stay with him. I'll leave now."After saying that, he put his hands into the pockets of his white gown and walked out of the ward.Sydney looked at Julien and said, "Luke, Zach, can you go out? I want to spend some time alone with Julien."Zach frowned and then walked out of the ward without saying anything.Luke said, "Darling, Julien's not aw
Chapter 449 Cayden's Dual PersonalitySydney flattened her lips and replied, "Yes, he is.""How is that possible!" Luke couldn't believe it, "How could he have developed a dual personality? Isn't he only mentally ill?"Sydney clenched her fists, "Do you remember Finn said that when a mental illness got severe enough, the patient might develop a dual personality. Earlier, when Finn started Cay's psychotherapy, he had told me that it was very likely for Cay to develop a dual personality. It turned out it really happened."Syndey looked at Cayden with complicated eyes.Cayden smiled at her as if he was completely unaware that he was the patient Sydney was talking about.Luke was shocked, "I've seen on TV before that some people would develop a dual personality after they had some huge blow. Did the whole thing about you falling off the cliff stimulate him, so this guy occurred?"Luke pointed at Cayden.Cayden looked at Luke’s finger. He narrowed his eyes somberly, swept Luke's fi
Chapter 450 Return to Skylight Corporation"I hope so." Luke sighed.Then he and Sydney didn’t speak and fell silent.Because of the appearance of Cayden’s alternate personality, both Sydney and Luke were shocked, and they hadn’t recovered from it.Early the next morning, Cayden announced on his Facebook account that he would withdraw from showbiz.This announcement rocked the showbiz and sparked a heated discussion. Many people began discussing why Cayden suddenly left showbiz, without even showing up at the conference.Many fans of Cayden could not accept this. They spontaneously gathered and went to the community where Cayden lived, as they hoped to see Cayden personally and asked him whether he would really withdraw from showbiz and why.However, they waited for a whole day but still didn't see Cayden. Some impulsive fans directly broke into Cayden’s house, only to find that there was no one in it.Cayden disappeared.This topic instantly hit the hot search list, and many
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
