Chapter 466 Passed Away
"367 minutes!" Sydney''s hand that held the phone was shaking.
No wonder her phone was out of juice.
The phone call she had with Juliensted over 300 minutes, which was...
Sydney''s lips twitched. She didn''t know what to say.
She had thought it was a dream. Turned out it was reality.
Most importantly, she didn''t feel that she was answering the phone.
"Darling," Luke''s voice rang out from outside again, "are you done? Breakfast is getting cold."
Sydney took a deep breath to calm down." Coming."
"Hurry up." Luke urged her.
Sydney responded, "Okay."
Luke then left.

With the phone in her hand, Sydney went to the bathroom and dialed Julien''s number.
What she heard, however, was the prompt of a power-off phone.
Power-off...
His phone was powered off.
Could his phone also switch itself off because of the long phone call?
It happened at such a moment that she couldn’t help but think that way.
She decided to wait, call him again when his phone was turned on, and ask him about the content
of their conversationst night.
Her memories of the phone call were vague, and she was not sure if she had said anything
improper.
Sydney put away her phone, patted her cheeks, collected herself, and started to wash up.
Ten minutester, she washed up, changed her clothes, and left her room for the kitchen.
Luke put down his fork and pointed to the chair across the table. "Darling, have a seat. The
breakfast is quite good."
Sydney looked down at tacos, bread, and milk that were spread out on the table. It was a hearty
meal.
"The vige head used to run a breakfast store, and her cooking skills are good." Sydney pulled out
the chair and sat down.
Luke handed her a fork and a knife. "No wonder. Turns out she''s a chef."
"You''re wise enough to buy breakfast from the vige head''s house." Sydney took the tableware
and forked up a taco.
Luke giggled. "Yeah, when I was buying fish yesterday, I asked her where I could get breakfast, and
she said her home. So, I got up early today and went over. Come on and eat. The milk is getting
cold."
Sydney nodded and hummed.
Luke took a bite of the taco and said, "By the way, when are we going back to town?"
"After breakfast, we’ll clean up and go," Sydney replied while having the milk.
She couldn''t stay here for too long.
She had to mail her grandpa''s notebook and manage thepany.
She also needed to look after Julien and would leave at the earliest time possible.
After breakfast, they locked the door and left for the main city.
They arrived at their destination at 1:30 p.m.
Sydney mailed her grandpa''s notebook, went back to the car, and called him.
The line went through easily, perhaps because the old man hadn''t gone to the tombs recently. His
gracious voice came over. "Sydney."
"Grandpa, I’ve mailed your notebook. You''ll receive it in four or five days," Sydney said as she
fastened her seatbelt.
The old manughed happily. "That''s great.
Thank you." "With pleasure, Grandpa." Sydney alsoughed.
"Darling, the photo." While driving the car, Luke suddenly reminded her in a low voice.
Only then did Sydney remember the photo she had seenst night. The smile on her face faded
away. She bit her lips, hesitated for a while, and mustered up the courage to ask, "Well... Grandpa,
can I ask you something?"
"What is it?" the old man said.
Sydney squeezed her palm. "Actually, when I looked for the notebook yesterday, I saw a photo
album that records the growth of a baby from one to five months. May I know who the baby is?"
Sitting in front of theputer, the old man hadn''t expected such a question. The kindness on his
face was instantly gone. It was reced by shock andplexity.
He was shocked that she had found the photo album.
And he had mixed feelings about the baby in the photo album.
"Grandpa?" Met with his silence, Sydney tightened her grip on the phone, "Why don''t you answer
me? Is the identity of that baby unusual?"
"No," The muscles on the old man''s old face twitched before his gracious expression resumed,
"she''s just the child of a rtive. There’s nothing unusual."
"Is that so?" Sydney narrowed her eyes.
Luke had asked his mother about it, and she said it was a baby Luke met when he went to the
Raines'' family for the first time. She said it was the child of a rtive. Sydney believed it but still had
an inexplicable feeling.
Most importantly, she couldn''t help thinking about the baby and her identity. She wondered why the
photo was kept in her house.
Sydney didn''t believe the baby was the child of a rtive.
If she were, why did her grandpa treasure her photo so much?
It didn''t make any sense.
"Of course, who else could she be?" The old man''s eyes blinked before the sses, and he
chuckled.
Sydney bit her lip. "Could you tell me who her parents are? I''d like to know her. She was born on
the same day as me. Maybe we could be close friends."
From her words, the old man could tell that she was not convinced. He sighed and replied, "It''s not
that I don''t want to tell you, but that child has passed away, so..."
"Passed away?" Sydney''s eyes widened in surprise.
Luke turned to look at her and asked, "Who passed away?"
Sydney didn’t reply. Instead, she sped the phone and asked, "That baby is dead?"
"Yes," Sadness was etched on the old man''s face, but he did his best to sound natural," she was in
poor health and died four and a half months after birth."
"So it is." Sydney sighed, "No wonder there are only photos of her infancy. Turns out she..." "It is
fate. Maybe she shouldn''t have to this world, and her mother... Forget it, it''s all in the past." The old
man took off his sses, wiped his tears, put the sses back on, and smiled graciously again,
"Alright, I have to go for something important. Talk to youter.”
"Okay." Sydney nodded.
She hung up the phone and put it away.
Luke asked again, "Darling, what did you just say? That child is dead?"
"Yeah, that’s what my grandpa told me. He sobbed a little, so it should be true," Sydneymented
after putting her phone in her bag.
The baby departed the world when she was just over four months old.
It was undoubtedly a regrettable thing.
Her grandma also mentioned that child’s mother.
Sydney guessed her grandpa was trying to say the mother was stimted. Something bad should
have happened to her as well. "s, that''s sad." Luke sighed.
