Chapter 181 Cayden Is Coming Back
Chapter 181 Cayden Is Coming Back
In the past, Sydney was the one who watched him leave. He knew she was watching, yet he never once turned around and looked back.
Now, it was his turn to watch her leave.
It turned out that watching someone walk away from you without looking back was such an uncomfortable feeling.
Julien lowered his head and touched his chest. It was bitter, and there was also a dull ache.
In the car park.
Sydney and Luke came to the car.
Luke opened the car door for her. "Darling, do you think Julien Flint has a problem? Why must he drop by personally to apologize?"
"Who knows?” Sydney shrugged and got into the car. She was notably unconcerned.
Luke got into the car as well. "I really can’t figure him out."
Sydney smiled. "If you figured him out, then you'll probably be as successful as he is today. Let's go, your mum might call and rush us soon."
"I got it.” Luke nodded and started the engine.
On their way, Sydney's phone rang.
She opened her eyes and glanced at her phone. A surprised expression appeared on her face.
Luke caught it and asked, "Who is it?"
"Cay!" Sydney replied and answered the phone.
When Luke heard that it was Cayden Lowe, he pursed his lips and said nothing.
"Cay,” Sydney said happily.
Cayden's gentle voice came through. "Sydney, are you free for the next few days?"
“I am. What’s up?" Sydney asked.
Since she got the position of the main cooperation partner and seized half of the management rights from Stephen Dayton, her position in Skylight Corporation had risen. She had less work compared to before, and she could always delegate her work to others.
Of course, she could find some free time.
"My work overseas is about to end. I'm planning to come back in a few days, so I want to ask you out for a meal," Cayden said with a smile.
"Now that I look at it, you've been gone for two months. It's definitely time for you to come back. Give me a call when you reach. I can pick you up from the airport!" Sydney agreed without a second thought.
"Okay." Cayden nodded and narrowed his eyes. His voice was as gentle as ever, yet it sounded colder."
Sydney, how have you been for the past two months? Did Lyra Madden bully you?"
When he left the country, he did not have much work and paid more attention to the news in the country.
However, he soon got busier and had no more time to watch the news. He did not know if Lyra and the rest bullied his sunshine.
"I'm fine. As for Lyra..." Sydney's smile faded. "Don't worry, I'm not someone to be stepped on. I fought back on the spot itself.”
"When you say that, it means that they did bully you, didn't they?" Layden lowered his eyes and his expression turned cold.
Sydney smiled. "Hey, I told you I'm not someone to be stepped on. Don't worry. It must already be late at your side. Go take a good rest."
Layden noticed that she did not want to dwell on the matter, so he did not force her. A sinister smile appeared on his face instead. "Okay, I'll be hanging up first. See you in a few days."
"Yes, see you in a few days." Sydney nodded.
When the call ended, Luke asked, "Layden is coming back?"
"Yes. In a few days." Sydney kept her phone.
Luke cleared his throat. "Did Layden ask you if you were bullied by Lyra Madden and the rest?"
"That’s right. He’s worried about me."
"Looks like Lyra Madden should be worried about herself, then." Luke laughed happily.
Sydney looked at him doubtfully. "What do you mean?"
"Nothing.” Luke shook his head and refused to talk about the details.
"Really? I think you're hiding something from me." Sydney narrowed her eyes.
Luke straightened his back. "Nothing, really nothing.”
"Fine, nothing means nothing. I'm quite lazy to find out anyway." Sydney rolled her eyes at him and looked away.
Luke let out a breath of relief, but he was silently laughing.
Perhaps, it was good news that Layden was coming back. That boy was a lunatic.
With him around, Sydney would be much safer. As for Lyra Madden and the rest, they would be in deep trouble.
Sydney threw a sideways glance at him, not knowing what he was laughing at. She did not bother to ask and put on her earphones.
The following day was a weekend.
Luke accompanied Sydney to the hospital.
When they reached the hospital, Sydney got out of the car and stood at the hospital entrance. She just stared at the hospital signboard without moving.
When Luke parked his car and came to her side, he could already tell what she was thinking about." Darling, if you’re afraid, we can go home. We can keep the child."
Sydney withdrew her gaze and shook her head. Her eyes were firm when she said, "No, I need to do this. I admit that I’m afraid since I've never done this, but I can't keep it just because I'm afraid. This will be unfair for him or her because I can't provide the child any love." Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
A child supposedly belonged to her and the person she loved. However, the child she was carrying only appeared because of a ridiculous night. She never loved this child's father, so how could she
love this child?
Moreover, if she kept this child, then this child would have no father. Z-H already said that he would support and raise the child, but not admit that this was his. In the end, this child would still end up illegitimate.
If this child was already destined to suffer once he was born, then it would be better for this child if he or she was never born.
With this thought, Sydney took in a deep breath, straightened herself, and walked into the hospital.
Luke followed behind her.
After she registered, both of them headed to the obstetrics and gynecology department.
Not far away from them, Lyra saw them as they got into the elevator. She bit her lip and went to the front desk. "Hi, which department did Ms.Raines go to? I'm her friend. She has been in a bad mood lately, so I followed her here. I didn't expect her to come to the hospital. Can you please tell me where she went? I'm really worried."
Lyra's acting skills were great and her worried expression moved the nurse. The nurse flipped through the records and said, "Obstetrics and gynecology department."
When Lyra heard that, she smiled and quickly adjusted her expression. "I got it, thank you.”
"You’re welcome." The nurse waved.
As Lyra turned around, her worried expression disappeared. Instead, she looked excited.
She fished out her phone and called Finn.
"Finn, Sydney came to the hospital. I didn't expect her to choose this hospital. I’ll leave the rest to you, then."
"I understand. Don't worry." Finn nodded.
Lyra put down her phone and Julien came to her side. He frowned slightly as he said, "Lyra, I told you to wait for me at the hospital entrance. Why are you here?”
Lyra blinked and smiled. "I'm sorry, Julien. I thought I saw someone I know, so I chased her here. I'm sorry."
She hugged his arm and said coquettishly.
She did not lie. When she was waiting for Julien at the hospital entrance, she saw Sydney and Luke, so she quickly hid and followed them.
Who knew that when she came and saw the psychiatrist, Sydney came for an obstetric check-up. Since this coincidence occurred, today would be a great time to get rid of Sydney.
