Chapter 974 Reassured Sydney "Hmm," Julien rubbed his fork and asked, "You should know that Brandon and his wife suspected that you were their daughter, right?" Sydney nodded, and a trace of annoyance flashed in her eyes, "I know it. I held a press conference to show evidence that Madeline was lying. At that press conference, I took the initiative to tell the media that I was not my parents' biological daughter but was picked up by my father on the third day after my father took Clarice away. Because of those words, Brandon and his wife suspected that I was their daughter, Clarice Madden. It was really funny. At that time, Clarice had done a paternity test and had come back to them, but they still suspected that I might be Clarice. I’m kind of sympathized with Clarice." Noticing the mockery on her face, Julien felt a little guilty, but he still showed a calm face, "But there is one thing you don't know." Sydney looked at him curiously, "What is it?" Julien lowered his eyes, "
Chapter 975 Leave Here"Dad, what's up?" Clarice looked at Brandon and asked with confusion.Brandon signaled her to look at Mrs. Madden. "Your mom is calling you."When learning that Mrs. Madden was calling her, Clarice turned to look at her. "Mom, what’s the matter?""Darling, what are you thinking about? I called you several times, but you didn't respond to me." Though Mrs. Madden furrowed her eyebrows, there was undisguised worry on her face.Although she didn't love Clarice very much, she wanted to be a responsible mom.So, she cared about Clarice."Nothing," Clarice prevaricated, lowering her head.Mrs. Madden and Brandon looked at each other, both of whom knew clearly that Clarice was lying to them.Mrs. Madden sighed. "Clarice, are you still minding what I said last time in your dad's ward? If you are still minding it, how about I apologize to you again? I’m sorry. I didn't say those words on purpose. As you had just come back, I was not used to being with you and said
Chapter 976 You SmokedAs she walked, she thought about what excuse she could use to take her parents away.After all, Clarice and her parents had only been here for a short time, and there were still many uneaten dishes. If there was not something urgent, her parents would not leave.So, she must find a reasonable excuse.However, it was not easy to find such an excuse.As Clarice was getting more and more fretful, Mrs. Madden suddenly asked, "Clarice, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so pale now?""Well..." When Clarice looked up and was about to answer that she was okay, she suddenly thought of something, an expression of satisfaction flashing across her face.Wasn’t her pale face a very good excuse? At the thought of it, Clarice raised her lips with gratification. Afraid of being discovered, she quickly restrained her emotion and put on an anguished expression. She covered her heart, looking extremely uncomfortable.Seeing it, the Maddens got stunned and stood up.
Chapter 977 Genetic DiseaseJulien hadn't quit smoking at all. On the contrary, he might still smoke a lot.It was just that Julien did that behind Sydney's back, so she thought he had quit it.Now Sydney realized that she had been fooled.Julien looked at her sulking face and guiltily touched the tip of his nose.He had not expected that he would make her so dissatisfied by just smoking a cigarette.Now, he regretted doing that.Julien took Sydney's hand and said seriously, "I'm sorry. I won't smoke anymore. I'll definitely quit smoking. Don't be angry, okay?" Sydney squinted at him. "Really?""Yes." Julien held up three fingers. "I can swear."He had a serious face.Sydney pursed her red lips. "What's the point of swearing? Will your vow come true?"No.Julien replied silently in his heart, and he realized that swearing was not very reliable or believable. After a few seconds of silence, he looked at Sydney and asked, "Then what do you think I have to do before you beli
Chapter 978 It's Really a Genetic DiseaseJulien had to know if Sydney had inherited Brandon's kidney failure.If so, she could be diagnosed early and might be cured. If they delayed for a long time and could not get suitable kidneys, that would be troublesome.After all, Brandon's physique was special, and no suitable kidney for him had been found until now.What if Sydney inherited Brandon's special physique?Julien did not dare to gamble, so the only thing he could do was to find out early and deal with it early.Sydney did not know what Julien was nervous and anxious about. Looking at his serious expression, she said with amusement, "Although some people may have sudden illnesses, that will certainly not happen to me. Don't forget that I am taking medicine to improve my health. Every time before the prescription, Finn would give me a simple checkup. He did not say that there was something wrong with my body, which proves I'm healthy. I won't fall ill as Clarice did. She eithe
Chapter 979 Julien Got Good LuckWhen Brandon was diagnosed with kidney failure, Julien thought Brandon had bad luck and had been struck by doom. He didn't think about Brandon's family history of genetic disease.'How negligent I was not to realize it might be a family genetic disease! Fortunately, it wasn't too late!'Julien rubbed his brows and sent Finn a message: [I see. Have they found a suitable kidney for Brandon?]Although Finn was not Brandon's attending doctor, with his position in the hospital, it was easy for him to learn about a patient's medical records.Seeing Julien's question, Finn gave a succinct reply: [No.]Julien was not surprised by Finn's reply.Actually, he already knew that. He just wanted to double check with Finn.Glancing out of the corner of his eye at Sydney, who was eating next to him, and seeing that she wasn't paying attention to him, Julien sent another message to Finn: [You mentioned that there was one person with genetic kidney failure almost
Chapter 980 A Weird HotelSydney blushed. She rolled her eyes at Julien.'He's trying to turn me on again!'Sydney put her fist down and stopped the role-playing as a reporter.She was worried Julien would say something even more embarrassing."This isn't funny." Sydney let out a grunt and handed the ticket to Julien.Julien shook his head. He didn't take the ticket but said, "What do you think? Would you like to spend the night at the hotel with me? This is the first time I've won a prize. Won't you enjoy it with me?"Sydney was amused. She asked, "Do you really want to go to the hotel?""Of course! This is the first time I've ever won a prize, so I’ll enjoy it. Otherwise, it will be a waste." Julien chuckled.Sydney believed he had a point.She knew the hotel. It was a famous one. There were many branches around the country. And the hotel had a variety of couples' suites. It was especially popular among couples.But Sydney had never been there, so she was interested.Sens
Chapter 981 Surprise upon SurpriseNow, this felt like a challenge.She decided not to argue with him since he was the one who had just redeemed the prize at the front desk.Sydney rolled her eyes at the man. "I asked you if we should go back, but you insisted on coming in."She surveyed the elevator and cringed.The exterior of the building was pink.And the elevator was pink too.When she was in the lobby just now, everything in sight was pink. It seemed to be the main hue of this place.This was probably the pinkest building in the world.Pink was a youthful, dreamy, and girlish color.But too much of it would be garish.She just wanted to flee and wondered how the male customers of this hotel put up with it.And the ratings were so good.She didn't get it."I'm a man of my word. I can't go back on it and leave, although the atmosphere here is awkward," Julien said seriously, looking at Sydney.Sydney slapped her head in frustration.She couldn't believe this man pas
