"I think it's going to be a challenge." Luke laid his hands out.
Sydney looked at him.
He bitterly chuckled and said, "I tried to convince him once but he didn’t listen to me at all. That's why I said it’s going to be a challenge.”
Sydney looked down. “No matter what he says, he can't be like this forever, or he'll only hurt others and himself. I'll find time to talk to him."
"Okay. I'm counting on you. Let's go." Luke got up and grabbed the luggage.
Sydney nodded. "Let's go."
The two of them came out of the ward and headed to the elevator.
Before Luke could press the button, the elevator door opened.
Jayden came out in a hurry and he almost bumped into Sydney.
"Darling! Careful!" Fortunately, Luke reacted quickly and pulled Sydney to the side, saving her from being knocked over.
Jayden heard Luke's voice and stopped. He then realized Sydney was right in front of him.
"Sydney!”
"Jayden? Why are you here?" Sydney was curious.
"Grandma and Bro were hospitalized. I'm here to visit," Jayden said sadly.
Sydney recalled that Old Madam Flint fainted last night while she was on the phone with her.
Just when she wanted to ask how Old Madam Flint was doing, Luke spoke first," Oh really? Julien Flint is hospitalized? This is great news! Kid, why is he hospitalized? Is it a terminal illness? How long does he have left? Tell me, I'll buy him some flowers to celebrate the numbered days he had left.”
"You... You cursed my brother?!" Jayden was furious when he heard the insults. He raised his fist and threw a punch at Luke.
Luke did not expect such a fierce reaction either. He stopped teasing and quickly avoided the punch.
Jayden was a basketball player, so he was at least half a head taller than Luke.
Even though Luke tried his best in dodging, Jayden caught him.
Right before the punch landed on Luke's face, Sydney frowned and shouted, "Stop it!" day den froze.
Sydney went up and separated the two of them.
"This is a hospital! What are you guys doing?"
Sydney looked at Jayden and then Luke before she ultimately glared at Luke.
"Luke, apologize."
"Huh? Why?" Luke widened his eyes in disbelief.
Sydney tightened her lips. "Why? It's because of what you just said. I know you hate Julien but you shouldn't say something this mean, so apologize."
Luke pouted. "Sorry."
Jayden remained furious as a tiger and wanted to eat Luke alive. "No one wants your apology!"
"Then, what do you want?" Luke frowned.
Jayden clenched his fists. "I want to punch your smug face!”
"Come on!" Luke rolled his sleeves up. "You scared me just now, so I dodged out of instinct. Now I'm done dodging, come on. Let's have a fair fight! Do you have the balls for it, punk?"
"Come on! Let's fight!" Jayden grinned. "I'm not afraid of you. You, on the other hand..."
He sized up Luke's arms and legs and scoffed. "Don’t cry when I punch you in the face.”
"You little punk..."
