Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! novel Chapter 326

"I understand.” Julien nodded.

Finn pocketed his hands under his surgery robes and walked away.

A while after he was gone, a nurse helped Sydney out of the operation room.

An abortion did not require to operate on the patient, so Sydney could walk on her own so she was not even bedridden.

However, it was difficult on her stomach and it did not feel good down there, which resulted in her limping out with the help of the nurse.

Each step exacerbated the pain in her stomach and it painted her face pale. Even her forehead was covered in sweat.

The scene clutched Julien’s heart. He quickly went over and said, "Here, let me."

He reached out and tried to take over the nurse's position.

The nurse assumed he was a family member, so she did not deny him. She let go and moved aside.

However, before Julien could touch Sydney, Sydney avoided him and uttered weakly, "I can walk by myself."

She put her hands on the wall and slowly moved forward with clenched teeth.

Her stubbornness both upset and hurt Julien, which put a grim look on his face. "I know you don't want to see me but you're at a critical stage. Even if you hate me, you don’t have to put your body through all this.”

He then bent over and carried her in his arms.

Sydney instinctively put her hands around his neck but when she reacted to what happened, she moved her hands away and started to struggle. "Put me down!"

Julien turned a deaf ear and continued toward the ward.

Sydney reacted to his ignorance by pushing his chest. "Julien, put me down! Did you hear me?!"

"Stop moving!" Julien hugged her tighter. He looked at her with a deep gaze and said, "You've just completed an operation and I suggest you stay put. If you fall, it's your body that will get hurt, not mine. Why are you being so harsh on yourself?"

His words silenced Sydney immediately.

He was right. She had no reason to be this harsh on herself.

If he wanted to be her legs, just let him be.

With that thought in mind, Sydney calmed down but her body remained stiff.

Julien squinted. It was said that when a person was at his or her weakest, they would want someone to rely on. However, her stiffness stated that she did not want to lean or even rely on him.

Otherwise, why could she not relax?

It was quiet along the way.

Back at the ward, Julien put her down on the bed and pulled the blanket over her. He asked warmly, "Are you hungry?"

Sydney shook her head but her stomach was rumbling.

Julien chuckled. "Take a rest. I'll go get something for you."

He poured her a glass of water before he left.

The ward finally quieted down.

Sydney touched her belly. The little bump she had earlier was gone. It felt like being pregnant was nothing more than a bizarre dream.

However, the lingering pain reminded her that she once had life flourishing in her belly but it was now gone.

She bit her lips, clutched her patient's grab, and started sobbing.

Whether it was a joyful tear or a sorrowful cry, no one knew.

Then, her phone rang.

She wiped her tears away, and took a couple of deep breaths to calm herself down before she grabbed her phone. She had a glance at the caller ID and then answered the phone, "Hello?"

"Darling, where are you?" Luke’s voice came from the other end of the phone and he sounded anxious. "Sophie said you didn't come to work today and I can’t find you at your apartment. Where are you?"

"I'm at the hospital.” Sydney leaned back on the bed. Her voice sounded tired.

Luke noticed her tiredness and it fueled his anxiety. He held the phone with both his hands and asked loudly, "Hospital? What happened to you, Darling?!”

"Nothing. I just had an abortion,” Sydney said with her eyes half-closed.

"What? Abortion?" Luke was shocked. "No, wait. I thought you said you're having it abroad this weekend. Why now? Where are you? Which hospital are you at? I'm coming over."
