Chapter 340 Cayden Is Missing


    A thickyer of gauze covered most of Julien''s back. The injuries he sustained were self-


    exnatory.


    "Sydney, let''s go in and have a look,"


    Jayden said as he put his hand on the door handle.


    Sydney shook her head. "No. I''ve already seen him. I should go."


    "But..." Jayden wanted to convince her otherwise.


    Sydney tightened her lips. "Jayden, I don''t want toe here at all and you forced me to. Now I’ve


    seen him, so don''t push it any further."


    Jayden flushed. "I''m not pushing it. I just want you to apany Julien!"


    "Why should I? Who is he to me?" Sydney stared at him coldly.


    Jayden’s mouth opened. He wanted to say she was his brother''s wife but then he realized they had


    already divorced a long time ago.


    It was the realization that stopped his words froming out.


    Sydney shook her head and went back to the elevator.


    This time, Jayden did not stop her. Maybe he realized he was in no position to stop her.


    Sydney pressed the button in front of the elevator.


    When the elevator door opened, a man in a doctor''s robe came out. It was Finn.


    Surprised, Finn pushed his sses and said, "I thought you were discharged. Why are you still


    here?"


    "Something caught up with me," Sydney said with a smile.


    Finn had a nce behind her and knew what she was referring to. He squinted and said, "Your


    ward wasn''t supposed to be in this direction and you shouldn''t be taking this elevator even if you


    want to leave. So, you''re here to see Julien?"


    Sydney was not at all surprised that Finn noticed. She shrugged helplessly and said," Yeah. I ran


    into Jayden when I wanted to leave and he told me that Grandma was hospitalized. I went to see


    her and before I got to leave, Jayden dragged me over."


    "I see. So, you’re leaving now?" Finn pocketed his hands in the doctor''s robe.


    Sydney nodded. "Yeah. I should leave now that I''ve seen them."


    Finn smiled. "What do you think of Julien’s injuries?"


    "What do I think? Why do you ask?" Sydney was curious.


    "Nothing in particr, just curious. I heard that he''s injured because of you," Finn said as he pushed


    his sses again.


    Sydney looked down and said softly, "It''s kinda rted but it’s not the real reason. It''s on him, so I


    don''t have any thoughts about it."


    "Oh?" Her reaction piqued Finn''s interest." So, you know why he was whipped?"


    "I guess so, but since it’s private matters between me and the Flint family, I''m not telling you.


    Goodbye, Dr. James,” Sydney said with a nod.


    Then, she walked past him and went into the elevator.


    Finn watched the door close before his eyes. Until the door fully shut, he turned around, pushed his


    sses once more, and showed an odd grin. "Interesting.”


    Meanwhile, in the garden outside the hospital, Sydney finally found Luke.


    Luke was talking on the phone while leaning back on the bench.


    Sydney went over and Luke waved at her after seeing her. He spoke for a few more seconds on the


    phone before he hung up.


    "Are we good to go?" Luke asked as he put his phone away.


    Sydney nodded. "Let''s go."


    "What took you so long?" Luke had a nce at his watch. He had waited for quite a while.


    Sydney wore an awkward smile and said, "I got carried away while talking to Grandma. I''m sorry. I''ll


    buy you lunchter."


    "Forget it. You can''t eat a lot of things now, and it''s boring to eat good food alone.


    Come, I''ll send you home,” Luke said as he stood up.


    The two of them walked toward the parking lot.


    A few stepster, Luke suddenly thought of something and said, "Oh yeah, Darling.


    Guess who I saw earlier."


    "Who?” Sydney did not want to guess.


    Luke skipped the guessing part and said with a cold squint, "I saw Lyra."


    "What?" Sydney was shocked. "Lyra came?" ''She didn''te here. She''s been here since she was


    released by the court. I asked the nurses and they said she was still recovering while she was


    escorted by the police that day. So, she was transferred here to heal and she just discharged


    today," Luke said.


    Sydney reacted with a cold look. "I see."


    "Speaking of which, you, Julien, and Lyra, the three of you are kinda strange, eh?" Luke rubbed his


    chin.


    "Strange?" Sydney looked at him.


    Luke said with a smile, "Unlucky, of course! In the past three months, how many times have the


    three of you been admitted into the hospital? It''s either Lyra, or you, or Julien. It''s like you guys are


    some stacking dolls,ing and going one after another." "Haha..." Sydney chuckled helplessly.


    There was a twitch on her face as she could not find the words to refute. What Luke said seemed to


    be exactly what happened in the past three months.


    "Okay, let’s put that aside. Let’s go.” Sydney got into the car.


    Luke saluted. "Aye, aye, madam.”


    They returned to Shallow Bay but Luke did not stay for long. After he helped Sydney clean up her


    apartment, he left and went back to his work.


    Sydney ordered takeout and called Layden while eating.


    However, like Luke said, Layden’s phone was unreachable since morning. She could not get to him.


    She had no idea if Layden could not be contacted because of work or because of the confrontation


    yesterday, which caused him to avoid her.


    Regardless, she had to get to Cayden and convince him to get therapy.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    With that, Sydney took her earpiece off and tapped on WhatsApp. She sent a message to Cayden.


    "Cay, call me when you see this. I have something important to talk to you about.


    Please."


    She put her phone aside after the message. While waiting for a reply, her thoughts drifted away.


    The wait went on for a full day.


    On the second morning, Sydney woke up but still did not see a reply on her phone. She sighed.


    She did not know whether Cayden saw her message or not.


    She rubbed her blurry eyes and cleared her dozing mind before she called Cayden again. She still


    could not get through.


    Brows furrowed, she muttered, "What happened? Where’s Lay?"


    His phone was turned off for a whole day now and it started to make her think something happened


    to him.


    She tightened her lips and decided to call Luke instead.


    Luke picked up almost immediately and his yawns could be heard through the phone. "Morning,


    Darling."


    "Morning, Luke." Sydney lifted her sheets and went to open the curtains.


    Dazzling sunshine shone on her face. It was a little blinding. She closed her eyes for a few seconds


    before she slightly opened up.


    "Darling, why the early call? Miss me?" Luke teased.


    Sydney rolled her eyes. "Stop joking. I have something to ask you.”


    "What''s up?" Luke cleared his throat and got up.


    Sydney also wore a serious look and said," It’s about Cay. I can''t seem to reach his phone sincest


    night. I''m worried that something might happen to him."


    She was afraid that the confrontation yesterday might hurt him and he might do something crazy.


    After all, no one knew how a person with mental issues would react in such a situation.
