Julien reached as high as he could with his phone.
Because he was sitting on the bed, he was naturally in a higher position than Sydney. The phone was completely out of reach with a simple raise of his hand.
Sydney couldn't even reach for his hand, let alone grab the phone. She had no choice but to jump up and grab the phone.
Julien had predicted she would act like this. Then he straightened his back and raised the phone again when she jumped up.
Sydney touched the phone again, but only with her fingertips this time.
The next moment, she lost her balance and fell into Julien's arms.
Julien lowered his gaze to see Sydney lying on his chest. His eyes darkened slightly as his voice became a little hoarse. He asked, "Sydney, are you throwing yourself at me?"
Sydney appeared irritated as she quickly raised her head. "Certainly not!"
Julien didn't say anything, but he did lower his gaze.
Then Sydney followed his gaze down to see that she was lying in his arms, her hands resting on his chest.
His patient gown was slightly lifted, revealing a part of his seductive toned abs.
Sydney blushed again. She quickly removed her hands from Julien's chest, stood up, and moved away from him.
Sydney walked so fast that she tripped.
Seeing this, Julien reminded her, "Be careful."
Sydney turned to look behind her and grabbed the chair she was sitting in to steady herself.
Sydney said, "Oops! I almost fell again."
Julien was relieved when he saw Sydney had regained her balance, then pursed his lips and complained, "How are you so clumsy?"
Sydney averted her gaze, feeling guilty.
She thought, "I didn't mean to be so clumsy, but you were the one who made me fall."
She wouldn't have fallen into his arms after a failed attempt to snatch the phone if he had passed it to her, and she wouldn't have had to put up with him joking about throwing herself at him.
Sydney’s face flushed as she remembered the scene from just a few moments ago. She reached up and placed her cold hands on her hot face, attempting to cool it down.
She never expected to fall into Julien's arms twice in such a short time.
Even the caregiver initially misinterpreted them when she first bumped into them.
Even though no one saw them the second time, she was just as embarrassed as she had been the first time.
It was also an accident the first time. She could quickly regain her composure, although she felt awkward.
However, the current situation was different. She kind of took the initiative to throw herself into his arms when she tried to grab her phone.
As a result, Sydney felt the need to find a place where she could calm down.
"Um... I...I have to use the bathroom." Sydney quickly turned around and hurriedly entered the bathroom, closing the door behind her.
Sydney leaned against the door and slid down slowly in the enclosed space. She buried her head between her knees after that.
She felt so embarrassed.
She was also taken aback by the fact that she did something so unlike herself. She wasn't the type to take someone's phone just because she wasn't allowed to use it.
However, she acted differently this time, and her attempt to grab the phone turned into an unintentional hug.
So she was confused as to how she could not be so calm.
Sydney bit her lower lip, her eyes puzzled.
Julien grinned when he heard the bathroom door slam shut back in the ward.
He knew Sydney was using the bathroom to get away from him, because she was too shy.
Julien chuckled and averted his gaze, not intending to call her.
