Chapter 319 Poisoned
Hearing Sydney''s weak voice, Julien immediately swallowed the words he was about to say and
hurriedly asked, "Sydney, what''s wrong?"
"I''m fine." Sydney closed her eyes as her voice became weaker and weaker.
Julien’s expression fell.
''Your voice is so weak. How can you call yourself fine?''
"Where are you now?" he hurriedly asked again.
This time, she did not answer. The phone slipped from her hand and dropped to the carpet with a
thud.
Her head lolled to the side, seemingly asleep.
Julien''s heart sank when he heard the sound of the phone dropping to the ground. He shouted her
name twice more.
However, she did not respond.
He guessed that something might have happened to Sydney. His expression was tense and he
hung up the phone and walked out of the office toward the tech support department.
"Find out where the signal of this number is," Julien handed the phone to a programmer and
ordered in a stern voice.
The programmer, who had never seen the boss of thepany before, was frightened by Julien''s
aura and took the phone with a shiver, doing as he was told.
A few minutester, the programmer pressed the enter key and said, "?... President Flint, thest
ping from this number is in Shallow Bay."
Shallow Bay!
Julien’s expression finally improved somewhat after getting Sydney''s current whereabouts. He took
back his mobile phone, told the programmer that he would double his bonus, and left the
department.
Half an hourter, Julien arrived outside Sydney’s apartment with a locksmith.
After all, Sydney stopped responding before she hung up the phone, so it was very likely that she
fainted. Since she fainted, she naturally would not be able toe to the door.
"Unlock the door," Julien told the locksmith to open the door quickly.
The locksmith answered and picked up his tools to get to work.
Soon, thebination lock was unlocked.
Julien took out his wallet, pulled out a wad of bills, and shoved them into the locksmith’s hands. He
entered the apartment so quickly that the man did not even manage to tell Julien that he gave him
too much money.
In the end, however, the locksmith took the money and left happily.
He hoped that there would be more customers with such deep pockets in the future.
In the apartment, Julien entered and immediately saw Sydney lying unconsciously on the sofa.
He strode over and crouched down, shaking her gently. "Sydney, wake up!"
Sydney did not respond.
Julien raised his hand and touched her forehead. She did not have a fever, but it did not look like
she was asleep either.
If she was not asleep and did not faint from a fever, it was obviously another problem.
He did not think much about what the reason was. He directly picked her up and rushed out of the
apartment.
When he arrived at the hospital, Finn just so happened to be sending a patient out of the elevator.
When he saw Julien holding Sydney in front of the elevator, his expression changed and he
hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
"I don''t know, she just fainted." Julien lowered his head and looked at her. The worry was
unconcealed on his face. "Help her!" "Stretcher!" Finn shouted at the front desk.
When the stretcher arrived, Julien ced Sydney on it.
A nurse also came up and sat beside Sydney for a simple examination while the other medical staff
pushed the stretcher to the emergency room.
Julien followed beside them. His eyes remained locked on Sydney''s form until the ER door was
closed.
Meanwhile, in a VIP ward, Mrs. Madden held a thermos and entered to see Lyra sitting on the
hospital bed with her head down, not reacting to anything. Mrs. Madden put down the thermos and
said," Lyra, let me tell you some good news."
Lyra did not respond. She was emotionless and dull like a puppet who had lost its soul.
Mrs. Madden was distressed and angry.
She was distressed at why her daughter ended up like this. Lyra did not say a single word after
leaving the courthouse and simply sat there. She even wondered if her daughter had depression or
selective mutism.
However, no matter what it was, it was Sydney’s fault that Lyra became like this. She was angry at
how Sydney waspletely fine, but Lyra ended up like this.
Unexpectedly, what she saw earlier caused her mood to brighten up again. Maybe Lyra''s mood
would get better as well if Mrs. Madden told her.
At that thought, Mrs. Madden pulled Lyra into her arms and said happily, "Lyra, when I came back
from the outside, I saw Sydney being sent to the emergency room."
Lyra finally responded upon hearing those words. Her body twitched slightly.
Mrs. Madden was so happy she almost burst into tears. "Thank goodness, Lyra. You finally moved.
You almost scared me to death."
"Mom... What happened to Sydney?" Lyra looked up at Mrs. Madden and asked.
However, her voice was hoarse and unpleasant as if she had not spoken for a long time.
Mrs. Madden was even happier.
Lyra could speak, so it did not seem like she turned mute. Mrs. Madden was relieved.
"I don''t know what happened to her. I only saw that she was pushed into the emergency room, so it
must be something very serious. Maybe she was stimted because she couldn''t ept your
probation. If you ask me, she deserved it for being so merciless and refusing to forgive you," Mrs.
Madden said sinisterly. Her usually elegant temperament was nowhere to be seen. It was like she
became Velma instead.

Maybe it was because Trison Corporation was down in the dumps, so her noble temperament was
lost along with it.
"I see." Lyra’s expression did not change much after listening to what Mrs. Madden said. No one
could tell whether she was happy or unhappy.
Mrs. Madden looked at her and felt that she had changed aftering out of the detention center. It
was as if she had be unfathomable.
Outside the emergency room, Julien waited for nearly an hour before the door finally opened.
He hurriedly stood up and walked to Finn." How''s Sydney?"
Finn took off his mask. His expression was a little unpleasant.
Julien''s heart sank like a rock. He clenched his fists tightly. "What happened to Sydney?"
"She was poisoned!" Finn responded.
"What? Poisoned?" Julien was stunned.
Then, he grabbed Finn''s cor and asked," How did she get poisoned? What was the poison?"
He thought that Sydney was just sick.
Unexpectedly, the result was worse than he thought. It was poisoning!
"It’s a chemical toxin that should be taken orally. The poison won''t do much damage to her body
and will only make her weak for a period, but..." Finn hesitated to continue.
Julien ground his mrs. "But what?"
He was relieved when Finn said that the poison did not do much harm to Sydney''s body.
However, Finn followed up with a "but"!
Judging by Finn’s heavy expression, this " but" was not something good.
Finn pushed up his sses and looked at Julien. "But this poison is fatal to the child in her belly. In
the best-case scenario, the child would be deformed. In the worst -case scenario, it would be
stillborn!"
"What?" Julien''s eyes suddenly widened.
Deformed... Stillborn...
"So, this poison was specifically targeting the child in Sydney''s belly?" Julien looked at Finn with a
bleak expression.
Finn nodded. "That''s right. There''s no damage to the mother and only harmed the fetus, so the
answer is obvious. The person who poisoned her only wanted to get rid of the child in her belly, not
to hurt her. I just checked and found that the fetus has already begun to deform. That means she
has been taking this poison for a while. It’s been at least half a month."
Julien''s anger was monstrous. He clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles creaked, and the air
around him was frigid.
Who was it?
Who wanted to harm his child?
