"I'm okay." Julien looked at her and replied.
Although he said so, Sydney was still a little worried. "Really? Are you still dizzy? And your arm..."
"I'm fine, really. Don't worry." Julien interrupted her.
Sydney moved her lips, not knowing what to say.
At this moment, Julien asked, "Are you okay? Zach told me that you passed out after you carried me down the mountain. Are you alright?"
Sydney said, "I'm fine."
Only her back muscles were strained, and they would recover soon.
But he was different. Except for his head and back, it would take at least half a year for his arm to heal.
It was he who was seriously injured.
"That's good." Julien could feel that what Sydney said was true, and he nodded in relief. "Thank you for carrying me down the mountain. Otherwise, I'm afraid I might have become an idiot due to the fever."
Sydney looked up at him sincerely. "It's not you but I who should say thank you.
Without your help, Cay and I would not have survived. It's that I owe you, not that you owe me. By the way, what do you want to eat?"
She suddenly changed the subject.
Julien raised his eyebrows. "What do I want to eat?"
"Well, it's to save me that you got injured, so I'll take care of you until you recover. Just tell me what you want to eat. I'll cook it for you." Sydney said.
Julien shook his head and declined. "No. Thank you. You don't have to take care of me, as I have a caregiver."
"It's different." Sydney stood up with a serious expression on her face. "You have saved me. I’ll feel guilty if I don't care for you. Let me take care of you. Please."
She bowed to him.
Frowning, Julien wanted to reach out to pull her up, but his hand closest to her happened to be his injured left hand. So, he could only use his right hand.
But if he used his right hand, he would have to turn over.
But he couldn't turn over now.
Most importantly, he felt that Sydney insisted on taking care of him. If he didn't agree, she would not give up.
It was difficult for Julien to refuse her.
Julien rubbed his eyebrows. "Do you really want to take care of me?"
"Yes." Sydney straightened up. "I must take care of you. If I don't do anything for you, what kind of person am I? A heartless person?"
Hearing her words, Julien let out a laugh, and then he looked at Sydney seriously. " Sydney, if you really intend to take care of me, you will stay with me, the person who you hate, for a long time. Do... Do you really want to do so? I give you a chance to change your mind. It doesn’t matter if you want to change your mind now. But if you don’t change your mind now, you won't have another opportunity." "I won't change my mind." Sydney shook her head and answered without hesitation. "Besides, I don't hate you. At least I don’t hate you now."
She didn’t hate him from the moment he jumped off the cliff with her without hesitation and from the time he held her tightly and didn't loosen her even if he couldn't support himself and her.
He deserved her respect.
"I'm very happy to hear you say that, and it's worth saving you. At least you don't hate me anymore." Julien looked at her and chuckled.
"Sydney." He suddenly called her.
Sydney looked at his deep eyes. "What's up?
"Can we be friends from now?" Julien asked.
Sydney frowned.
'Be friends?'
'How can a man and his ex-wife be friends?'
'Isn’t it embarrassing?’
'Anyway, I've never heard that a man and his ex-wife become friends after their divorce.’
But Sydney couldn't refuse Julien now. After hesitating for a few seconds, she nodded and agreed. "Okay."
Julien smiled. "That’s good. I won't think about winning you back anymore. It's good that we become friends, and you can accompany me through my life." 'It is unlikely to find the appropriate heart.’ 'So, I'm destined to be a short-lived person who only has another three years of life.'
'I can’t bring her happiness. Even if I win her back, I'll only hurt her.'
'So, let me and her be friends.’
