Chapter 686 The Old Madam''s Condition Deteriorated


    Sydney looked at the bracelet. She was confused.


    Then she put the bracelet back in the box and picked up her phone. She wanted to ask Julien about


    it.


    But before she pressed the dial button, it urred to her that Zach had just told her that Julien was


    talking to the Old Madam, so it wasn''t a good time to call him.


    ‘All right. I''ll call him this afternoon.''


    ‘We''re meeting this afternoon anyway.''


    Then Sydney closed the box and locked it in a drawer.


    The bracelet was a valuable antique. If she lost it, she could not afford it.


    After locking the bracelet in the drawer, Sydney put the key in her handbag. Then she picked up a


    file and got to work.


    Meanwhile, after receiving Sydney''s and Julien''s gifts, employees of Flint Corporation and Skylight


    Corporation posted photos on social media thanking the couple for their gifts and giving them their


    best wishes.


    With so many people posting it, it quickly drew the media’s attention. The media guessed Sydney


    and Julien had gotten back together, so they sent gifts to their employees.


    Immediately, the news that Sydney and Julien were officially back together went viral.


    A few days ago, several media outlets reported that the two might be back together, but the couple


    didn''t publicly confirm it, so people weren''t sure of it.


    But most people believed the two were back together.


    ‘Otherwise, why don''t they rify the rumor?''


    ‘Since they don''t rify it, they should be back together.''


    Therefore, when the media reported that the couple was confirmed to have gotten back together,


    people weren''t very surprised.


    People had expected it and were ready for it.


    Now the media reports just confirmed people''s spection.


    People have various opinions on the matter.


    Some wished the couple well, while others thought the two wouldn''t end well.


    In short, people''s opinions were very different.


    At the hospital, seeing Julien’s grim face, Zach cautiously asked, "Mr. Flint, should I call the people


    in charge of these tforms and ask them to ban the ounts that are saying mean things?"


    Julien narrowed his eyes. "No need for that."


    "How can we allow them to curse you and Ms. Raines online?" asked Zach in confusion.


    Julien cast a cold nce at Zach and asked, "Do you think I would allow that?"


    "No!" Zach immediately shook his head.


    Julien was never nice to people who opposed him.


    But Zach didn''t know what Julien was going to do.


    Julien guessed what was on Zach’s mind, and he curled his lips. "Since they cursed me and


    Sydney, I must make them send their blessings."


    "Mr. Flint, what do you mean?"


    "Doesn''t Twitter have a game in which anyone who retweets the starter’s tweet will get a gift? Start


    one. Anyone who retweets the tweet and says something nice about it will get a gift. Do you think


    they''ll retweet it?" Julien asked nonchntly.


    Zach''s eyes lit up, "It''s a great idea! I got it, Mr. Flint. I''ll do it right now."


    Julien responded, "Go ahead."


    Zach then left the room.


    Only Julien and the Old Madam, who was asleep in the bed, were left in the room.


    Julien pulled the nket for his grandmother. Looking at his grandmother''s wrinkled face, Julien felt


    guilty.


    Because of him, his grandmother had aged too much this year.


    His grandmother used to be vibrant, and her hair was not yetpletely grey.


    Now, however, his grandmother''s hair had gonepletely grey.


    The doctor said that the Old Madam had suddenly aged so much because she had too much on her


    mind. Her heart was always tense and she was frightened several times, and her physical condition


    deteriorated.


    The Old Madam could have lived a few more years, but now, things might not be the same.


    Thinking about it, Julien held his grandmother''s hand. He felt so guilty.


    The Old Madam seemed to sense Julien''s emotions, so she slowly opened her eyes and called out,


    "Julien."


    "Grandma." Hearing the Old Madam''s voice, Julien hurriedly collected his thoughts and sat up


    straight to look at his grandmother, "Are you awake?"


    The Old Madam demanded, "Help me sit up."


    "You should sleep a little longer." Julien advised, his brows furrowed, "You didn''t sleep long."

    "I don''t want to sleep." The Old Madam shook her head, "I''m old. I don''t need much sleep. Help me


    up. I''m tired of lying here."


    Since the Old Madam insisted on sitting up, Julien did so. He lifted her up and put a pillow on her


    back. The Old Madam leaned back on the pillow.


    Then Julien went to get her a ss of water.


    The Old Madam rubbed her brows and asked, "Where is Felicia?"


    "Felicia went back to the house to cook some soup for you. She''ll be backter." Julien returned to


    his grandma and put a straw in the ss. "Grandma, have some water."


    The Old Madam smiled, "All right."


    After the Old Madam finished her drink, Julien put the ss aside.


    The Old Madam wiped the corner of her mouth and said, "Julien, I''m fine. Go back. Thepany


    needs you."


    "It''s okay, Grandma. Don''t worry." Julien sat down and arranged the nket for his grandmother. "I


    can take a day off. What is the management for if thepany can''t function without me?"


    "Haha." The Old Madam was amused. She felt warm inside.


    She knew Julien wanted to stay here with her, so she didn’t drive her away.


    "Julien, I heard your conversation with the doctor." The Old Madam folded her hands on her


    stomach and suddenly said.


    Although the Old Madam was old and sick, she was still graceful.


    Every movement of the Old Madam was graceful, though she moved too slowly.


    Time would never take away ady''s elegance. That was probably it.


    Hearing the Old Madam''s words, Julien''s eyes flickered, "Grandma, you..."


    The Old Madam smiled, "Don''t worry. I am not devastated after hearing the doctor say I might only


    have two years left."


    Julien lowered his eyes. He did not speak.


    The Old Madam suddenly gave him a tap on the shoulder. "Cheer up. Don''t be so low. I don''t want


    to see you like this."


    "I''m sorry, Grandmother." Julienpressed his lips.


    The Old Madam smiled, "It''s okay. It''s fate. I’m happy with my life. I have no regrets. And I miss your


    grandfather."


    Julien had nned for the Old Madam to transfer to a nursing home to receive better care, so she


    could live a few more years. Now, however, he was choked. He couldn''t say it to his grandmother.


    The Old Madam missed her husband.


    What could Julien say?


    How could he stop his grandmother from missing his grandfather?


    He knew his grandmother loved his grandfather dearly. It was impossible to forbid his grandmother


    to miss his grandfather.


    Sensing Julien''s thoughts, the Old Madam smiled, "Come on, Julien. Don’t frown. It’s ugly! Be


    careful you will get wrinkles and Syd won’t like you. You''re a few years older than Syd. If you have


    wrinkles now, when you guys stand together, you will look more like father and daughter than a


    couple. Then even if Syd doesn''t mind it, people will say you''re not good enough for Syd."
