Suddenly, the door of the ward opened, and the caregiver came in. When she saw Julien kiss Sydney, her eyes widened in surprise. "Mr. Flint, you..."
Julien frowned, as he felt annoyed about being disturbed by the caregiver.
He was reluctant to stand up and turn his head to look at the caregiver. Then he put a finger in front of his lips. "Shh, don't wake her up!"
Only then did the caregiver realize that Sydney was asleep, and she nodded subconsciously.
Julien walked towards the caregiver. Then he took out a few hundred dollars from his wallet and handed them to the caregiver." Don't tell her what you saw."
The caregiver took the money with bright eyes and smiled. "Don't worry, Mr. Flint. I didn't see anything just now."
"That's good." Julien put away his wallet and nodded with satisfaction. "Besides, if you need to go out next time, come back as quickly as you can. And it’s better for you to accompany her all the time. As she can't see now, she will feel terrified if she stays alone. As long as you do as I say, I'll give you a bonus."
"I will definitely do what you require. I will definitely obey your requirements!" The caregiver was afraid that Julien would change his mind, so she answered quickly. She patted her chest to assure Julien that she would always accompany Sydney in the future.
Julien nodded, opened the door and stepped out.
His back was burning with pain. As his wounds ruptured, he urgently needed a doctor to deal with them.
The next day, Sydney completed the discharge procedures and was ready to go to South Lake.
The caregiver was packing the things up while Sydney was sitting on the sofa and planning to call Layden.
Before the incident, she couldn’t get in touch with him and didn't know where he was.
Due to her injury, she didn't contact him these days either, and she was not sure whether his phone was powered off or not.
Sydney asked a nurse to dial Layden's number and then raised the phone to her ear.
His phone was not turned off this time, and a happy smile appeared on Sydney's face.
But she became upset immediately, as Layden didn’t answer her call.
It was not clear whether Layden didn't hear her call or he intentionally refused to answer her call.
Sydney was inclined to agree with the latter reason, because she had sent a text message to Layden before and asked him to call her when he turned on his phone.
Now that Layden's phone was on, he must have read her text message. But he didn’t call her.
What did this mean?
It meant that he didn't want to contact her at all!
Thinking of this, Sydney became a little sad. She felt wronged and worried.
The reason why she felt wronged was that she was the victim, but Cayden behaved as if he had been hurt, and now Sydney had to comfort him.
What worried her was that she didn't know where he had been in the past few years, what he had done and whether he had lived well.
"Alas..." Sydney sighed with helplessness.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
Then Sharon came in and greeted Sydney with a smile. "Hello, President Raines."
Sydney looked in the direction from which Sharon's voice came. Though she could not see, she smiled at Sharon. "Come in." But her smile faded quickly at the thought of Cayden.
Sharon walked in. "What are you thinking about? You look overcast."
"Cayden didn't answer my call." Sydney shook her phone and replied with a bitter smile.
Sharon nodded understandingly. "Well, I've also heard about what happened between you and him. He's like a child who will never become mature. Besides, he is paranoid and crazy. You must never be with him, or you'll be a mom and he'll be a son, because you have to coax him and pamper him all the time. If he feels a little dissatisfied, he will either disappear or do something annoying. It is very tiring to be with such a person.”
As a bodyguard for many years, Sharon could tell what the personality of a person was at a glance.
Although Layden was a handsome young man and looked gentle, it was his disguise.
Layden's real personality was exactly the same as what Sharon had described.
