Chapter 165 It''s My Child
When the person outside the office heard footsteps getting closer and closer, he looked around and
immediately turned around, swiftly walking toward the emergency staircase.
After waiting for two minutes, the man heard the sound of the elevator door closing beforeing
out of the stairs again. He looked at Sydney''s office, took out his phone, and dialed a number.
In Flint Corporation, Zach was standing next to Julien''s desk sorting out information when he heard
his phone ring. He stopped his actions and said," President Flint, I''ll take the call."
Julien''s fingers continued tapping on the keyboard. When he heard Zach''s words, he hummed
without even lifting his head.
After getting permission, Zach took out his phone and looked at the caller ID. His sses glinted.
"President Flint, it''s Leslie."
"Who?" Julien''s brows wrinkled, not remembering who the person was for a moment.
Zach reminded him, "It''s the assistant in Skylight that we paid offst time. He often goes to
President Raines '' office to send documents, so we paid him to pay attention to news of the child in
President Raines'' belly. He hasn''t called before but he''s suddenly calling now. It must be something
rted to President Raines '' child."
Julien immediately raised his head at those words, and his tone held an undisguised eagerness.
"Answer it."
"Yes," Zach responded and answered the phone.
"Zach," Leslie greeted politely on the other end of the phone.
Zach waved his hand. "Alright, hurry up and tell me. Is there any news regarding Ms. Raines''
pregnancy?"
"Yes. I heard President Raines and President Chase talk about the pregnancy when I went to
deliver documents outside the door."
Zach pushed up his sses. "President Flint, it seems like President Chase found out about Ms.
Raines'' pregnancy."
Julien pursed his lips. "Ask him if he heard that the child is Luke''s."
Zach nodded and conveyed his words.
On the other end of the phone, Leslie replied quickly," It''s not President Chase''s. I heard President
Raines say that the child in her belly was conceived by a casual rtionship between her and a
man on the night of President Chase''s birthday."
Zach immediately told this to Julien.
When Julien heard this, his eyes widened and a huge wave rose in his heart.
It was his!
The baby in Sydney''s belly was his!
Julien clenched his fists tightly.
Perhaps it was because this news was too shocking, but he balled up his fists so tightly that his
arms began to tremble.
Zach saw this and understood what was happening. He swallowed, suppressed his shock, and said
to Leslie, "Alright. You don''t have to watch Ms. Raines anymore..."
"No, let him continue." Julien interrupted Zach in a slightly hoarse voice. "Don''t just watch her.
Watch her extremely carefully. It''s best if he can find out when Sydney goes for the prenatal check-
ups and the hospital where the check-ups take ce. Double his bonus."
Zach nodded. "Yes."
Then, he told Leslie what Julien said.
Leslie was so happy that he immediately promised not to let them down.
At the end of the call, Zach looked at Julien." President Flint, the child in Ms. Raines'' belly is yours."
Julien lowered his eyes. "Yes."
"What do you n to do? Are you going to keep it? Or...
"The choice in which to keep the child doesn''t lie with me, but with Sydney. If she wants to keep it,
I''ll secretly arrange everything for her and let her deliver the baby safely. If she doesn''t want it, I''ll
also respect her wishes," said Julien.
However, when he mentioned the words "if she doesn''t want it", his heart stung inexplicably.
He even felt some panic.
"It''s no wonder you asked Leslie to find out the time of Ms. Raines'' prenatal check-up as well as the
hospital. So, that''s why." Zach finally understood Julien''s intentions.
Julien pursed his thin lips and did not speak.
Zach looked at the photo of Lyra next to theputer and hesitated to speak.
Julien saw this and narrowed his eyes. "Do you have something to say?"
"Well, yes. If Ms. Raines decides to keep the child and if Ms. Madden and the Madden family find
out, will they...?" Zach was worried.
With Ms. Madden and the Madden family''s narrowmindedness, they would never tolerate the child
in Ms. Raines'' belly.
Julien knew this too. He rubbed his brows in fatigue." Don''t let Lyra or the Madden family find out
about this for now. As for everything else, let''s wait until Sydney makes a choice first. Find out the
time and hospital of
Sydney''s next check-up, send someone to the hospital to inform them in advance, and tell the
doctor to ask Sydney whether she intends to keep the child or abort it."
"Understood." Zach nodded.
Julien waved his hand. "Go."
Zach turned and went out.
Julien leaned back, pinching the bridge of his nose with his eyes closed.
''Sydney, what choice will you make?''
Just as he was thinking, the mobile phone on his desk rang.
Julien opened his eyes and sat up to look at the screen. It was a message from Sydney.
She sent him a message now out of all times.
Was she nning to tell him that she was pregnant?
Julien grabbed the phone and clicked on the message.
However, the content was not what he thought. She asked him if he was in the country.
Julien typed: [No.]
In Skylight Corporation, Sydney saw that word and was instantly relieved. [That''s good.] [Z-H: What
happened?]
Sydney sighed and replied: [My friend was very angry when he found out about the night between
us two months ago. He went to Hunter to ask about your identity and wants to pick a fight with you,
so it''s good that you''re abroad now.]
Julien''s thin lips curled up when he saw these words. [ I see. Are you telling me this because you''re
worried about me?]
Sydney rolled her eyes.

This man was narcissistic.
Shaking her head, she replied: [You''re overthinking it. I just think that there''s no need to make a
scene since it happened so long ago. Even if I''m worried about someone, I''d be worried about my
friend instead.]
The implication was that he had no ce in her heart.
Why would she worry about him?
Julien pursed his lips, feeling a little unhappy. The expression on his face fell. [I see. Is there
anything else?]
[SydneyRaines: No.]
[Z-H: Okay.]
After sending it, Julien stared at the screen of the phone for two more minutes, but Sydney did not
message back.
He realized that she would not reply, and his expression became even more unpleasant.
Luke went to Hunter to inquire about him because of that night.
She did not tell him what she nned to do about her pregnancy.
Julien wanted Sydney to tell him. He wanted her to tell him to take responsibility.
However, she did not and instead shouldered the responsibility alone.
Maybe other men would be happy, but he just felt annoyed.
Would she die if she made him take responsibility and relied on him a little?
Julien tugged his tie, the aura around his body horribly cold.
At the Cohen residence.
Luke got out of the car and pounded at the door furiously.
The butler who opened the door asked, "Who are you, Sir?"
"I''m looking for Hunter!" Luke said between gritted teeth.
The butler looked at him warily.
Is this person an enemy of the young master?''
Luke seemed to have read the butler''s thoughts. He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and
forced a smile on his face. "I''m Luke''s friend. I''m in an emergency, so I looked a little fierce. Please
call him for me. I have something very important to ask him. Please."
Luke bowed.
The butler saw that Luke was indeed in a hurry and did not want to lie, so he hesitated for a
moment before nodding. "Alright. Please wait a moment."
The butler closed the door and went upstairs to find Hunter.
Hunter was on the phone when he heard the butler''s words. He raised his brows. "Someone is
looking for me? Who is it?"
