Chapter 327 Sydney''s Test


    "Why are you asking?" the nurse asked.


    Mrs. Madden wore a warm smile and said," Oh, I''m that man’s rtive. He had been running all


    over the ce these two days, so his family is worried about him. I just saw him leave, so I wanted


    to know a little more and inform his family of what happened. His family is worried.”


    The nurse noticed Mrs. Madden’s elegant temperament and it did not seem like a fake. She lowered


    her caution and said, " The man’s wife just had an abortion, so he was here to apany her."


    "Abortion?!” Mrs. Madden widened her eyes in shock.


    The nurse frowned. "Madam, this is the hospital, please lower your voice."


    "I’m so sorry. I was just shocked," Mrs.


    Madden said as she forced a smile on her face. When she turned away, shock covered her face.


    Sydney had Julien''s baby? Since when?


    Mrs. Madden gripped the handle of the tumbler tighter than before. Her heart was beating faster


    and faster.


    She recalled meeting Sydney in the past two days and she did not notice any changes at the belly,


    so she believed Sydney must have just gotten pregnant, no longer than three months.


    Sydney and Julien just had their divorce around three months ago, which meant the baby must be


    from an affair after she divorced Julien.


    If it was true, it would be great because she could go to the Flint family to ask for an exnation.


    Julien''s annulment of engagement had put the Madden family through a lot of insults and mocks.


    More importantly, after Trison Corporation and Flint Corporation stopped all existing rtionships,


    Trison''s reputation fell to the 20th in Port City. On top of that, because Lyra used Sydney, the


    company was pushed toward the brink of bankruptcy.


    It was not too exaggerating to say that the Flint family''s engagement annulment caused all of this. If


    the wedding was not called off, bothpanies would still be working together. Even if Lyra''s


    usation of Sydney was inevitable, Trison Corporation would be in a better position.


    Therefore, she had to make Brandon use Julien''s affair to reinstate the engagement. Even if the


    engagement was far beyond saving, she had to make sure that Trison Corporation and the Flint


    Corporation resume a working rtionship.


    The thought alone gave Mrs. Madden shivers.


    She simply grabbed a passing-by nurse, gave her some money, and told her to find out more about


    Sydney’s pregnancy cycle.


    Soon, the nurse came back with the news. Sydney was less than three months pregnant.


    If it was less than three months, then it must mean that the baby in her belly belonged to Julien.


    Mrs. Madden immediately called Brandon.


    "Brandon, I have some good news for you!"


    Brandon was having trouble solving the fund problem, so he sounded tired when he answered the


    phone, "What is it?"

    Mrs. Madden told her husband about her findings.


    The news reenergized Brandon. He bolted up and said with excitement, "Are you sure?"


    "I am." Mrs. Madden nodded.


    Brandon paced around his office in excitement. "This is great! Find a way to get Sydney''s abortion


    report and we''ll take it to the Flint family."


    "I will," Mrs. Madden said.


    After the call, Mrs. Madden put her phone away and went back to Lyra''s ward.


    Meanwhile at Sydney''s ward, after she finished the bowl of porridge, she put it on the table beside


    her bed and it was then she saw the receipt from the purchase, which Julien left behind.


    She grabbed it, checked the price on it, and decided to transfer the money back to him.


    Then, she turned off her phone because she did not want Julien to bother her.


    Knocks came from the door.


    Sydney looked at the entrance and said," Come in."


    The door opened. Luke and Cayden came in with a bouquet of flowers and a basket of fruits.


    "Darling! We''re here to visit!” Luke showed a wide smile.


    Cayden also smiled warmly at her. "Sis."


    Sydney’s terrible mood lightened up a little upon their arrival and she smiled.


    "You guys are here.'' "Do you like it?" Luke moved the flowers closer to her.


    Sydney''s eyes curved like a crescent moon as she smiled. The bouquet of lilies cheered her up a


    lot. "Gosh, you don''t have to. I''m discharging tomorrow, I''m not here to stay."


    "No matter when you discharge, it''s the feeling that counts," Luke said as he put the flowers on the


    table.


    Cayden also put the basket of fruits down." Sis, do you want some fruit? I''ll go wash them for you."


    Sydney looked at the basket. "I want some strawberries."


    "Great." Cayden took a box of strawberries out of the basket and went to the kitchen.


    Sydney was admitted into a luxury ward. which was as big as a two-room suite in. a high-end hotel.


    It was even equipped with a small kitchen, an independent washroom, and a balcony.


    After Layden went off, Luke pulled a chair over and sat down beside Sydney. His frivolous look was


    reced by seriousness. "Darling, what happened? What changed your mind to do the abortion


    now?"


    He believed something must have happened.


    In the kitchen, Layden overheard the conversation. He turned the water tap weaker and washed the


    strawberries slower.


    Sydney recalled Julien''s words, iming that the one who poisoned her was among Luke, Layden,


    and Hunter. The thought of it dimmed down her smile and even made her squint her eyes to cover


    theplicated feelings.


    "Oh, it''s nothing. I fell, so I decided to take it here."


    "Really?” Luke was dubious.


    Sydney nodded. "Yeah. I''ve already booked the hospital abroad. If I didn''t fall, why would I change


    my ns at thest minute? I had a long day yesterday and when I went home, I identally


    slipped, and it hurt the baby."


    She squinted her eyes as she exined. She secretly sized up Luke, attempting to notice


    something out of the blue.


    The one who poisoned her would have known that the hospital knew she was poisoned.


    Her exnation would sound weird to the culprit and would wonder why she decided to keep it a


    secret, henceforth unconsciously exposing himself.


    Sydney was testing Luke to see if he was the one who poisoned her.


    However, after a careful look, she did not notice anything out of the blue with Luke.


    She knew it was not Luke, which was a relief.


    To be honest, she hoped the culprit was someone else other than Luke or Layden. They were the


    closest people that she trusted other than her grandfather.


    Anyone could be the culprit but not them, or else, she would feel deeply betrayed.


    Now that Luke passed the test, only Layden and Hunter were left.


    ''Lay, don''t let me down.''


    Sydney closed her eyes and prayed hard.


    Luke had no idea what she was thinking. He pulled the nket over her and said," You''re clumsy.


    When you have a long day, remember to also take care of yourself. Oh, so after you fell, how did


    youe to the hospital?"


    "Yeah, Sis. Why didn''t you call Luke or me?" Layden asked as he brought the box of strawberries


    out.


    Sydney’s eyes slightly averted Layden''s gaze but quickly regained herposure. She awkwardly


    smiled and said, "I called the ambnce and after that, I passed out. I’m sorry to make you guys


    worried."


    "You bet I’m worried. I was scared to death when I found out that you were admitted to the hospital,"


    Luke said as he tapped on his chest.


    Layden nodded as well. "Me too.’


    Sydney tucked her hair back and said," There won’t be next time."


    "That’s our girl." Luke smiled.


    Sydney pointed at the drawer and said," Luke can you open the first drawer for me?"


    "What are you looking for?" Luke pulled the drawer open.
