Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! -
Chapter 341 Julien Finally Wakes Up
When Luke heard that Sydney wanted to talk about Layden, his eyes drooped somewhat despondently and he said in a sulking tone, "Darling, I thought you wanted to discuss something important with me, but
it turns out that it's just about that kid. You wound my heart."
"Enough!" Sydney pinched her temples. " Luke, let me ask you. Can you contact Cay's manager? Ask his manager where he is. Is he working or did he go somewhere else?"
"Fine, I'll call and ask later." Luke scratched his somewhat messy hair.
Sydney hummed. "Thanks."
"Don't mention it." Luke shook his head then said, "By the way, will you be resting at home today, or are you planning to go to Skylight?"
"I'll go to Skylight. In my situation, there's no need to rest for so long." Sydney rubbed her still somewhat uncomfortable belly.
Luke originally wanted to persuade her to stay home and rest, but he knew that she was stubborn and would not listen even if he did, so he sighed and said, "Fine. I'll go to Skylight later to help you with work. Your paperwork must've piled up since you didn't work yesterday."
Sydney knew that he was trying to lessen her burden. Her heart warmed up and she nodded with a smile. "Okay."
When the call ended, Sydney put down her phone, stretched, and went to the bathroom to wash up.
An hour later, she arrived at Skylight.
When she arrived outside the office, she saw Sophie waiting at the door.
"President Raines." Sophie nodded slightly toward her in greeting.
Sophie smiled at Sophie. "Did anything happen to the company yesterday when I was away?"
She asked as she opened the door.
Sophie followed her into the office. "No, but President Dayton and his group talked behind your back, criticizing you for skipping work despite being the company's vice president. They said that you don't deserve your position as vice president."
Sydney sneered. "It seems like they know that they can't take away my half of the management rights no matter what, so they can only say those unpleasant words behind the scenes to satisfy their inner dissatisfaction."
She did not tell the company the real reason why she did not come to work yesterday.
After all, this was her private matter.
Now, she was glad that she did not tell them. After all, she had just said that she had a personal affair and would not come to work, and Stephen's group already started talking behind her back. If they knew that she did not come to work because she went for an abortion, they might start rumors about her instead.
"Exactly." Sophie nodded and agreed with Sydney's words.
Sydney pulled out her office chair and sat down, turning on the computer. "What's the schedule for today?"
At her question, Sophie immediately opened the folder she carried with her and read out the itinerary. Sydney nodded. "All right."
"I'll go out now, President Raines." Sophie closed the folder.
Sydney looked at her. "Wait. Help me make an appointment with a lawyer, preferably one who's good at finance."
"President Raines, are you trying to notarize something?" Sophie pushed up her glasses and asked.
Sydney nodded. "I just found out that a large portion of the shares in my hands was acquired by Luke and Cay. I can't take them for free, so I want a lawyer to draw up a notarization certificate. I'll pay them back twice the amount in the future."
That was the only way she could repay Luke and Cayden.
"I see." Sophie smiled faintly. Her eyes when she looked at Sydney were filled with a little more admiration. "I understand, President Raines. I'll help you replace the best lawyer."
She was respectful to Sydney in the past because of Luke, but now, she sincerely admired Sydney.
That was because not anyone could bring themselves to pay back the money that they received for free.
For just that point alone, Sydney deserved her sincere respect.
"I'll leave it to you." Sydney smiled at Sophie.
"It's my duty," Sophie replied.
Sydney clicked the mouse. "By the way, bring out the desk that Luke used before.
He'll be coming over today to help me with my work."
Sophie's eyes lit up at the words, and her hands squeezed in excitement.
However, she did it very stealthily, so Sydney did not notice. She only heard Sophie answer in a louder volume," Understood, President Raines."
"Go ahead." Sydney waved with a smile.
Sophie turned around and went to the side to clean up the table for Luke.
Luke arrived quite quickly. He came in just as Sophie finished packing.
Sydney put down the pen in her hand and asked, "How did it go? Did you contact Cay's manager?"
"Have I ever failed?" Luke patted his chest and laughed.
Sydney sighed in relief.
Luke contacted Layden's manager, but his expression was very relaxed.
It seemed like Layden was fine.
"Where's Lay now?" Sydney relaxed and asked again.
Luke took a sip of the coffee handed over by Sophie. "He went back to Rivervale. It seems he had something to take care of. He'll be back tomorrow."
"I see." Sydney nodded in understanding.
However, she was still puzzled. There was no problem with him going back to
Rivervale, but why did he turn his phone off?
She would only know the answer to that question when she asked him personally when he came back.
In the hospital.
Julien, who had been in a coma for a day and two nights, finally woke up.
"Julien." Jayden looked at Julien, who opened his eyes, and hurriedly pressed the call button at the bedside.
When Julien saw this, he instantly understood the place he was in.
He moved his arm and tried to get up by holding the bedsheet.
However, as soon as he exerted himself, the sharp pain coming from his back made him instantly plop back down on the bed. "Ugh..." His handsome face wrinkled in pain as he involuntarily let out a groan. His already pale face became even paler. Jayden saw this and hurriedly asked," Julien, are you okay?"
Julien endured the burning pain in his back and replied in a hoarse voice, "I'm fine. My back just hurts."
"Don't move around. The wound on your back hasn't scabbed over yet. What if it opens again?" Jayden nagged.
Julien closed his eyes slightly. "How long have I been unconscious?"
"Forty hours." Jayden held his fingers out and counted.
Julien's brow furrowed fiercely.
'I've been asleep that long?
'That means Sydney has already been discharged for a day.'
Julien's expression sank, and the air around him turned cold.
He had wanted to personally pick her up from the hospital.
Unexpectedly, he missed it.
Seeing Julien's mood fall, Jayden blinked and asked, "What's wrong?"
Julien pursed his lips. "Go to Room 805 and check if Sydney is still there."
Although the hospital said that Sydney could be discharged yesterday, and Sydney also wanted to leave yesterday, what if she was not discharged after all?
Holding onto that stubborn thought, Julien looked at the unmoving Jayden and felt his temples throb. He urged in a heavy voice," What are you still sitting here for? Hurry up and go!" "That's not necessary. Sydney left yesterday." Jayden pursed his lips.
The expression on Julien's face froze instantly, and the trace of expectation he held in his heart instantly disappeared, making him feel cold.
She left!
Sure enough, expectations were just expectations. The reality was often cruel.
Looking at Julien's tightly clenched fists and disappointed expression, Jayden also felt upset.
He carefully asked, "Julien, did you want to pick Sydney up because you knew she'd be discharged from the hospital yesterday, and feel unhappy because you didn't manage to?"
Julien's eyes flickered for a moment, but he did not say anything.
Jayden saw him like this and knew that he guessed correctly. He felt a little smug in his heart.
'Hah, it was just a shot in the dark, but I guessed right.
'Let's see who else will call me dumb!'
Jayden raised his chin proudly, but he soon put that complacency away.
After all, Julien was still injured. It would be unconscionable for him to be so smug.
"Don't be so unhappy, Julien. I'll tell you some good news." Jayden rolled his eyes." Actually, Sydney came to see you yesterday."
