Seeing him eat, Sydney put the spoon back into the bowl and asked in a tone of expectation, "How does it taste?"
"Delicious." Julien swallowed the porridge and nodded.
Sydney smiled. "That's good."
Her efforts were not in vain. To make the porridge tasty, she soaked the ingredients, simmered the porridge, and kept stirring it.
"Go on." Sydney scooped porridge and handed it over.
She soon fed Julien a full bowl of porridge.
Sydney stood up. "Do you want some more?
"I'm already full." Julien shook his head.
Sydney looked at the bowl in her hand and frowned slightly. "You're full? You haven't eaten much."
And this bowl was not big.
He was a 1.9-meter-tall man. She didn't believe that he was full.
"Yes." Julien took the mouthwash from the caregiver and replied, "I had an IV while you were away this afternoon, and that medicine made me feel a bit bloated."
"I see." Sydney nodded. "Then I won't persuade you. I'll put the rest in the fridge. You can ask me to heat it if you get hungry at midnight."
"Okay," Julien said.
Sydney carried the food container to the small kitchen in the suite, put it away in the fridge, and then came out.
Seeing that Julien was left alone in the ward, she looked around and asked," Where's the caregiver?"
"I told her to get off work," Julien said with a book in one hand.
Sydney walked over. "Who will take care of you at night?"
"I'm not lame. I don't need someone to watch me all night." Julien raised his eyes.
Sydney nodded, wiped her hands, and walked toward her bag.
When Julien saw it, his eyes flashed." You're leaving?"
"It's already nine o'clock. I should go back." Sydney packed her things.
Julien put down the book. "Can you wait a while?"
"Why?" Sydney looked at him in confusion.
"I want to chat with you." Julien stared at her. "Can I?"
Sydney looked at the clock. After hesitating for a while, she nodded. "Okay, but I must leave at ten o'clock. I have to go to the countryside tomorrow."
"Okay." Julien slightly curved his lips.
Sydney put down her bag and sat down by the bed.
However, Julien didn’t chat with her.
Instead, he told her how to manage the company, the company's direction, the industries that Skylight should invest in, and so on.
Originally, Julien intended to teach her little by little.
But now, he only had three years to live, and he would become weaker and weaker.
Thus, he no longer had time to teach her slowly. He had to teach her as much as possible before he became weak.
The market was cruel. She had just begun doing business, so she didn't know that there were many schemes and that commercial competition was scary and dirty.
If he could survive, she wouldn't have to know these things because he would protect her.
But there was little chance of him surviving, so he couldn’t protect her all the time. He could only try to help her become stronger because she had to rely on herself in the future.
Sydney was surprised that Julien suddenly taught her how to do business, feeling that he was about to leave her.
But she didn't think much about it and listen to him carefully.
After all, these were Julien's experience and ways to survive in the market. She naturally didn't want to miss such a precious lesson.
