Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! novel Chapter 765

"Yes, you have my word." Julien nodded.

Sydney then flashed a smile. She cheered up. "Okay. What about you?"

"What?" Julien muttered, "What's wrong with me?"

"I mean your back..." Sydney gave an awkward smile and explained, "I mean those scratches..."

Julien now understood what Sydney was asking. Before she could finish her sentence, Julien interrupted her, smug in his tone, "They're fine."

"Okay." Sydney was relieved. She spoke again, "How are you feeling? You haven't asked about your own condition since you woke up."

"No, I didn't ask about it." Julien shook his head.

Sydney gave him a deliberate pat on the chest and asked, "What’s wrong with you? You had a car accident. Don't you even care how your body is doing?"

Julien hadn't asked a single question about his own condition, as if he wasn't the one who had been in the accident.

Julien took her hand away from his chest and chuckled, "Don't be mad. I didn't ask it because I feel fine. If there was something serious with me, you wouldn't have calmed down so quickly when you saw my eyes open, so I guess I'm okay. Am I right?"

He took her hand out of the blanket and kissed it.

Sydney grunted, "Okay. You're right. Zach said you passed out because you got hit in the back of the head and that you can leave the hospital tomorrow."

"OK," Julien nodded, but an imperceptible glimmer flashed across his eyes.

Zach must have used it as an excuse to reassure Sydney.

Julien was well aware of how much his heart had hurt before he'd passed out. He did hit the back of his head, but it wouldn't have made him pass out.

It was his heart’s problem that made him pass out.

Julien had told Zach not to tell Sydney about his heart. Therefore, Zach had to find an excuse to reassure Sydney.

The fact that Julien hit the back of his head in the car accident was a plausible explanation for why Julien had fainted.

From the look on Sydney's face, Julien guessed that she believed what Zach said, and Julien was relieved.

Just as Julien was lost in thought, he felt a pair of hands cupping his face.

He looked down and found Sydney had suddenly sat up and that she was cupping his face tightly with both hands and staring at him with a serious expression. "Julien, do you have any idea how scared I was tonight when I heard you had an accident? I was terrified. I almost passed out. I pinched my thigh so hard to stay awake and to learn how bad the accident was. I..."

"What?" Before she could finish her sentence, Julien tensed up and sat up instantly.

"You pinched your thigh?"

Sydney blinked and replied, "Yes. There's the only way for me to stay awake and calm."

"How could you do that to yourself?" Julien stared at Sydney with stern eyes and hissed.

Sydney's eyes widened. "I did that for you. Why are you yelling at me?"

For a moment, Sydney felt upset.

Julien sensed that his tone was too harsh and he softened, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. I was just worried about you. Does it hurt?"

Sydney grunted, "It hurt. But to stay awake and keep myself from passing out, I had no other choice. How did you get into the accident? Why would I pinch my thigh if you didn’t have an accident? And yet, you're accusing me!"

Julien compressed his lips and didn’t say anything.
