Chapter 338 Running Into Jayden


    "I think it''s going to be a challenge." Lukeid his hands out.


    Sydney looked at him.


    He bitterly chuckled and said, "I tried to convince him once but he didn’t listen to me at all. That''s


    why I said it’s going to be a challenge.”


    Sydney looked down. “No matter what he says, he can''t be like this forever, or he''ll only hurt others


    and himself. I''ll find time to talk to him."


    "Okay. I''m counting on you. Let''s go." Luke got up and grabbed the luggage.


    Sydney nodded. "Let''s go."

    The two of them came out of the ward and headed to the elevator.


    Before Luke could press the button, the elevator door opened.


    Jayden came out in a hurry and he almost bumped into Sydney.


    "Darling! Careful!" Fortunately, Luke reacted quickly and pulled Sydney to the side, saving her from


    being knocked over.


    Jayden heard Luke''s voice and stopped. He then realized Sydney was right in front of him.


    "Sydney!”


    "Jayden? Why are you here?" Sydney was curious.


    "Grandma and Bro were hospitalized. I''m here to visit," Jayden said sadly.


    Sydney recalled that Old Madam Flint faintedst night while she was on the phone with her.


    Just when she wanted to ask how Old Madam Flint was doing, Luke spoke first," Oh really? Julien


    Flint is hospitalized? This is great news! Kid, why is he hospitalized? Is it a terminal illness? How


    long does he have left? Tell me, I''ll buy him some flowers to celebrate the numbered days he had


    left.”


    "You... You cursed my brother?!" Jayden was furious when he heard the insults. He raised his fist


    and threw a punch at Luke.


    Luke did not expect such a fierce reaction either. He stopped teasing and quickly avoided the


    punch.


    Jayden was a basketball yer, so he was at least half a head taller than Luke.


    Even though Luke tried his best in dodging, Jayden caught him.


    Right before the punchnded on Luke''s face, Sydney frowned and shouted, "Stop it!" day den


    froze.


    Sydney went up and separated the two of them.


    "This is a hospital! What are you guys doing?"


    Sydney looked at Jayden and then Luke before she ultimately red at Luke.


    "Luke, apologize."


    "Huh? Why?" Luke widened his eyes in disbelief.


    Sydney tightened her lips. "Why? It''s because of what you just said. I know you hate Julien but you


    shouldn''t say something this mean, so apologize."


    Luke pouted. "Sorry."


    Jayden remained furious as a tiger and wanted to eat Luke alive. "No one wants your apology!"


    "Then, what do you want?" Luke frowned.


    Jayden clenched his fists. "I want to punch your smug face!”


    "Come on!" Luke rolled his sleeves up. "You scared me just now, so I dodged out of instinct. Now


    I''m done dodging,e on. Let''s have a fair fight! Do you have the balls for it, punk?"


    "Come on! Let''s fight!" Jayden grinned. "I''m not afraid of you. You, on the other hand..."


    He sized up Luke''s arms and legs and scoffed. "Don’t cry when I punch you in the face.”


    "You little punk..."


    "Enough!" Sydney was vexed when the two of them wanted to start a fight. She quickly separated


    them.


    "Luke, you''re almost 30, why are you being calctive with a minor? Aren''t you ashamed?"


    "And you!" Sydney turned to Jayden. "Keep that feisty attitude away. You’re still too young to act like


    this."


    She could not bear watching the two of them fight.


    First of all, they were in a hospital. Second, Luke was no match for Jayden.


    Luke might not think so but Sydney knew. She knew Jayden took mixed martial arts training before


    and with his height advantage, Luke would not stand a chance.


    Luke might not know that Sydney stopped him from fighting because he would end up badly injured.


    When he heard Sydney mentioning his age and being calctive with a minor, he felt embarrassed


    and his face blushed.


    He cleared his throat awkwardly and said," Fine. If you say so, I let this punk go."


    "Let me go?" Jayden scoffed. "Sydney, please step aside. I’ll teach this guy a lesson. I want him to


    know who is letting who go."


    "Enough!" Sydney started to have a headache.


    She rubbed in between her brows and said, "Jayden, how''s Grandma now?”


    Jayden finally calmed down when he heard Sydney asking about his grandmother. He turned from a


    feisty young tiger to a deserted puppy. He almost broke down in tears when he said," Grandma is


    fine. She woke up an hour ago, but my brother is in critical condition. He''s still in the ICU.'' "ICU?"


    Sydney was shocked.


    So was Luke. "Oh my goodness, is it some terminal illness?"


    Being in the ICU meant that Julien was in a terrible condition.


    Sydney regained her calm and asked," Grandma certainly didn’t hold back."


    She originally thought Old Madam Flint would go easy on him since they were grandmother and


    grandson, but she realized she was terribly wrong.


    Old Madam Flint whipped Julien until he was admitted into the ICU. Those who did not know might


    think that they were enemies rather than grandmother and grandson.


    ''What? Julien is in the ICU because Old Madam Flint whipped him?" Luke squealed sharply when


    he heard Jayden.


    Jayden turned a blind eye at him and nodded to Sydney. His eyes were teary when he said, "It''s


    serious. Grandma whipped him ten times and his back was badlycerated. When he was taken to


    the hospitalst night, his back was barely intact."


    He then recalled the bloody scene fromst night and he quivered uncontrobly. Even his face


    turned pale.


    Sydney could already paint the picture in her mind. She tightened her lips in silence.


    Luke gasped and said with shock, "Your grandmother is a tough one, but why did she whip Julien?"


    Jay den''s mouth moved. He wanted to answer but he quickly realized Luke was an enemy to him.


    He grunted and said, " That''s none of your business, why should I tell you?"


    "Tsk...” Luke pouted. "Fine if you don’t want to tell. Who wants to know anyway?


    "Darling, it''s almost time. Stop wasting time with this punk. Let''s go."


    "Luke, I want to visit Grandma. You can go back first," Sydney said as she rubbed her temples.


    Luke frowned. "What’s there to visit? They are all the Flint family members."


    "Luke, you knew Grandma was good to me. I can''t just turn away when something happens to her,"


    Sydney said with a serious look.


    Moreover, she might be the cause of this, so she should even visit Old Madam Flint more.


    Luke widened his mouth but no words came out. A few secondster, he sighed helplessly and


    said, "Fine. You go visit the olddy. I''ll wait for you in the garden outside the hospital."


    Sydney smiled. "Thank you, Luke.”


    "Stop thanking me, just go." Luke caressed the edge of her hair.


    Sydney was stunned. When he retracted his hand, she regained herposure and touched where


    he touched her.


    If it was before knowing that he liked her, the little caressing would not mean much because they


    had been ying around since young.


    Now that she knew his feelings, the intimate gesture felt entirely different.
