Julien stood still.
Sydney could not close the door, so she got so angry that she shoved him, trying to push him away.
However, she forgot that she could not exert force on one of her feet. Instead of pushing Julien away, she lost her center of gravity and fell backward.
Julien's eyes widened when he saw her falling, and he reached out to grab her.
Even so, his hand was a second too slow, and he missed her arm. Not only did he fail to grab her, but he fell on top of her as well.
Thud!
Sydney fell on the carpet at the porch, and Julien propped his hands on either side of her shoulders, pinning her down with one knee.
The two of them looked at each other, stunned.
Sydney had never expected it would turn out like that. Her little face turned red, and her heart began to race.
When her shy and angry look landed in Julien's eyes, his gaze darkened, and he could not help but think of the night she got drunk.
That night, she was charming and seductive like a temptress.
At that thought, Julien's throat bobbed, and his eyes locked on her slightly parted lips. He lowered his eyes and slowly bowed his head.
Right at that moment, Sydney suddenly spoke up in an indifferent voice, "Can you get off me?"
Julien suddenly came to his senses. His face tensed up when he realized what he was about to do, and he pursed his thin lips. "Sorry."
He stood up and extended his hand towards her, trying to pull her up.
However, Sydney did not accept it. Instead, she braced her hands on the ground to slowly get up herself.
Julien's eyes darkened. His hand in the air clenched into a fist before he withdrew it.
Suddenly, Sydney hissed.
A trace of worry appeared on Julien's face unbeknownst to himself. "What's wrong?"
Sydney glared at him. "It's all your fault, Julien Flint. Is the Flint family born to harm me? My foot finally stopped hurting so much, but it is starting to hurt again because of that fall."
Her eyes grew red as she spoke, and she could not help but feel upset.
Nothing would happen to her until she met him.
However, every time she met him, something would happen to her, and she was really fed up with it.
Seeing that Sydney was about to cry, Julien's heart tugged inexplicably. However, he did not show it on his face. "I'll take responsibility."
Then, he bent down and picked her up bridal style.
Sydney's eyes widened, and she subconsciously put her hands around his neck.
However, when her palm felt the warmth of his skin, she hurriedly let go again.
"Let go of me!" Sydney said with a cold face.
Julien turned a deaf ear and carried her into the living room in a few strides. Then, he put her on the sofa, took out his phone, and made a call. "Arrange for a doctor to come to Shallow Bay."
Shallow Bay?
That was Ms. Raines's address.
Zach was dumbfounded. He had many questions, but he did the sensible thing and agreed respectfully instead of asking.
Soon, the doctor arrived.
Julien pointed at the woman on the sofa. "Take a look at her foot."
"Yes." The doctor nodded and walked toward Sydney.
Sydney did not want to be a cripple, so she quietly put her foot out.
The doctor looked at it and opened the medical box.
Julien stood by the side. "How is she?" "Ms. Raines is fine, but the ligaments that almost healed have been pulled again, so they'll have to heal again." The doctor found the medicine to help with the injury.
Was it that serious?
Julien frowned.
Sydney's expression did not look good either.
She could have stopped using her crutches in two days.
Now, she would have to continue using crutches for another period of time. What the hell was that?
Sydney bit her lip in anger, her chest rising and falling.
