Chapter 339 Meeting the Madam


    Noticing Sydney spacing out, Luke moved closer and asked, "Darling, what''s wrong?"


    Sydney regained herposure and saw his face inches away from hers. Shocked, she faltered


    backward before she averted his gaze by looking down. "N-Nothing."


    Luke squinted.


    ''What happened? Darling seems to be avoiding me.''


    "Sydney, can we go to Grandma''s ward now?" Jayden could not tolerate watching Sydney being


    intimate with other men.


    To him, Sydney belonged to his brother. He had to help his brother to keep an eye out for the men


    around her, keeping them away from her.


    Sydney nodded. "Let’s go.''


    Then, she turned to Luke and added, "Luke, I’m going over."


    "Okay," Luke said.


    Sydney signaled Jayden with a nce before the two of them headed the opposite way.


    The ward section that they were at was the luxurious one, so it was no surprise that Old Madam


    Flint was nearby.


    Half a minuteter, Jayden stopped before a ward. "Here it is."


    Sydney noticed Old Madam Flint''s name on the te. She knocked on the door softly.


    Felica opened the door and when she saw Sydney, her eyes shone in delight. "Sydney, you''re


    here!"


    Sydney smiled. “Felicia."


    Felicia nodded. "Thank goodness you’re here. Madam is talking about you just now. She wanted to


    call you but the call can’t seem to get through."


    "My phone battery died," Sydney said.


    After the phone call with Jaydenst night, she forgot to charge her phone and only realized it this


    morning.


    She was not overly bothered either because she was discharging. She just did not expect Old


    Madam Flint to call her.


    "It''s okay. Come in." Felicia opened the door fully and warmly invited her in.


    Sydney nodded. "Thank you."


    Jayden followed her inside as well.


    ''Grandma.

    Sydney saw Old Madam Flint lying down on the bed with her eyes closed when she came in.


    She thought thedy was asleep but when she called her, she woke up.


    The olddy smiled when she saw Sydney. "Syd!”


    "Grandma." Sydney went over and sat down beside the bed.


    Old Madam Flint sat herself up and held Sydney''s hands. "Sydney, why are you here?"


    "I''m discharging today and I ran into Jayden at the elevator. I found out that you''re here as well, so I


    came over. How are you, Grandma?" Sydney sized up the olddy before her with care.


    Old Madam Flint smiled. "I''m fine. The doctor said I passed out because of my blood pressure. I''m


    old and when 1 get nervous, the blood pressure tends to shoot up. I''m better now. The doctor also


    said I can go hometer."


    "I see." Sydney nodded with relief.


    It was then Jayden said with teary eyes," No, that''s not what the doctor said! The doctor said she


    got lucky this time but if she faints again next time, she might not..."


    "Jayden!” The kind look on Old Madam Flint was reced by a stern one. She warned him not to


    continue.


    Sydney, however, sensed something serious, so she told Jayden to continue.


    Jayden nodded. "If she faints again, she might suffer a stroke and never wake up again."


    "What?" Sydney widened her eyes in shock. She held the olddy''s hands tightly. "Grandma...”


    Old Madam Flint sighed and regained the warm smile on her face. "It’s okay, Syd. I''m old. It tends to


    happen and I''m ready, so don''t worry."


    "But...” Sydney wanted to say something but Old Madam Flint stopped her.


    "Syd, I want you to be honest with me. Did Julien tell you to get the abortion?”


    She fainted because she suspected Julien told Sydney to get the abortion.


    "No, Grandma." Sydney shook her head.


    Old Madam Flint looked at her. "Don''t lie to me."


    "It’s true, Grandma. It''s not Julien, I want to abort it. Something happened to the child and I have


    to..." Sydney looked down.


    “What happened?” Old Madam Flint asked.


    Sydney looked evasive when she said, "I fell and hurt the baby..."


    "I see..." Old Madam Flint tapped her chest and forced a bitter smile. “Maybe it''s fate that separates


    the baby from us. It''s gone before it can see the world."


    Sydney could tell Old Madam Flint wanted her to keep the baby and the guilt got up to her. "I’m


    sorry. Grandma."


    Old Madam Flint tapped her hands. "Don’t be. You did nothing wrong to our family. It’s our family


    that failed you. It''s Julien who hurt you."


    She was thinking that since Sydney bore Julien''s child, she would ask her toe back no matter


    what, even if it meant her losing her dignity.


    Now that the baby was gone, she could no longer help even if she wanted to.


    It was Julien''s fault for not telling her, or else she would have patched them together again.


    Things changed. Maybe fate just did not want Julien to be with Sydney.


    Old Madam Flint shook her head with a bitter smile.


    After an hour or so, Sydney asked to leave because Luke was still waiting for her outside. It was


    cold so she could not just leave him outside freezing.


    "Syd, do you want to... go have a look at Julien?" Old Madam Flint asked with aplicated gaze.


    Sydney bit her lips in hesitation. She ultimately shook her head and said, "I don''t think I will. The


    moment I aborted the baby, Julien and I became strangers. I thank you for punishing him for me but


    there’s nothing else between us anymore."


    When she finally paid off her debt to Julien, she would delete all Julien''s contact.


    Old Madam Flint noticed the determination in her eyes. She sighed sentimentally and said, "Okay.


    Jay den, walk her out."


    Jayden grunted as a reply. He looked rather moody because he did not understand why Sydney did


    not want to see his brother.


    His brother was a patient admitted to the hospital. There was nothing wrong with visiting a patient.


    After saying goodbye, Sydney followed Jayden out of the ward.


    The two of them headed to the elevator without saying a word.


    Right before the elevator arrived, Jayden turned around and said, "Sydney, Julien’s ward in the ICU


    is just over there. You don''t want to see him?"


    "No." Sydney declined.


    Jayden clenched his fists. "Sydney, he''s hurt. Please go have a look, just one look."


    He begged.


    Sydney was surprised by his persistence. She frowned and said, "Jayden, you''re not begging


    anymore, you’re forcing me."


    "I’m not, I just can''t think of anything else. I just know if I beg really hard, you might say yes,"


    Jayden straightened his body and said seriously.


    Then, before Sydney could react, he grabbed her hand and ran forward.


    When Sydney finally reacted, she was already in front of Julien’s ward outside the ICU.


    The ICU ward was unlike the normal ward. The patient inside the ICU was surrounded by sses,


    so even if she did not go in, she could see clearly how Julien was doing.


    Julienid on the bed. His face was as pale as paper. His bare upper body was covered in


    bandages, especially his back. It looked like a white sheet.
