Julien felt that since he had only three years to live, he should let go of Sydney and never approach her again.
He was afraid that if he got close to her again, Sydney's mentality would be affected. As time went by, she might fall in love with him again, and after he died, she would suffer great psychological trauma.
After all, it was hard to bear the loss of someone you just fell in love with.
Julien was so worried about this that he planned to alienate Sydney.
"OK, Mr. Flint, I know. I'll go through the discharge formalities in a minute," Zach sighed.
Julien waved his hand slightly. "Go ahead.'
Zach nodded. Then he turned around and left.
That night, Julien went out of the hospital and lived in an apartment near the city center, where he planned to stay for a few days. He would go back to the Flint Mansion after he fully recovered.
Sydney didn't know about this at all.
The next morning, she went to the hospital with some hot soup she had made. When she found that it was not Julien but another unknown patient in the ward, she was stunned.
What had happened?
Where was Julien?
"Miss." Sydney stopped the nurse who was about to pass by with a cart. She hurriedly asked, "Excuse me, would you please tell me where is the patient in this ward?"
The nurse gave her a strange look. “Isn’t the patient inside?"
“No, I don't mean him, but Julien," Sydney said with a frown.
This dawned on the nurse, and she said," Mr. Flint was discharged from the hospital last night."
"What? He was discharged from the hospital?" Sydney was astonished to hear this.
The nurse nodded. “Yes, Mr. Flint went out of the hospital at midnight yesterday."
"Midnight!" Sydney bit her lips tightly.
This meant he left the hospital after seeing her with Hunter outside the restaurant.
Miss, why did he leave the hospital? His injury hasn't healed yet, right?" Sydney grabbed the nurse's sleeve and asked.
The nurse shook her head. "I don't know. Mr. Flint was severely injured and he shouldn't be discharged yet, but it's OK for him to rest at home, so the hospital agreed to his request."
"Well, thank you." Sydney knew that she couldn’t ask anything more from the nurse. She forced a smile and then loosened her grip on her.
Once the nurse got free, she pushed the cart away.
Looking at the ward’s front door with a stranger's name on it, Sydney pursed her lips and turned to walk to the elevator.
After she came to the small garden outside the inpatient building, she found a bench to sit on and then took out her mobile phone to dial Julien's number.
The phone rang several times before being answered by Julien. She remembered that he used to answer her phone as quickly as possible.
Julien's flat voice sounded. "What’s the matter?"
Sydney sensed the indifference in his tone and felt a little uncomfortable.
What had happened to him?
Why did he suddenly change his attitude towards her?
He was indifferent to her again, which reminded her of their six-year loveless marriage.
This made Sydney frown subconsciously." Julien, are you out of the hospital now?" "Yes.” Julien nodded.
Sydney put the thermos aside. "Why didn't you tell me that you were discharged from the hospital?"
"This is my own business. Why should I tell you?" Julien asked coldly.
Sydney was dumbfounded for a moment, and then she quickly continued, "Yes, it's your own business, but it’s also related to me. You got injured because of me. I said I would take care of you until you recovered, so of course you should tell me when you were discharged from the hospital.
Otherwise, how can I continue to take care of you?"
"No need.”
"What?" Sydney was stunned.
Julien looked down and replied in a slightly hoarse voice, "I said you don't need to take care of me, for I don't need your care anymore."
Then he hung up the phone directly.
Sydney looked at her phone in anger and grievance.
