Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! novel Chapter 945

When Mrs. Chase asked about Sean, Sydney instantly tensed up. She had been leaning back in her chair, but now she sat up straight and replied, "Sean's fine."

"Really? That's good." Mrs. Chase went on, "I went to the hospital today for a physical checkup and I ran into her. I noticed her face was pale and she had a pile of bills in her hand. I thought she was seriously ill, so I asked her what was wrong with her. However, she told me she just didn’t feel comfortable with her spine."

"You don't believe her?" Sydney bit her lower lip.

Mrs. Chase shook her head, "No. I've known Sean for years, so I know her well. When she answered me, she kept her head down. She didn't dare look me in the eye. She was obviously lying. Since she wouldn't tell me what was wrong with her, I didn't ask her. I pretended I believed her. After we talked for a moment, she left with an excuse. She left in a hurry, as if she was afraid I would stop her. I was wondering what she was afraid of me. I am not a tiger."

"Oh." After learning the story, Sydney lifted her chin and asked tentatively, "Did you ask the doctor what was wrong with Sean after she left?"

Mrs. Chase shook her head. "No. Since she didn't want to tell me, how could I ask the doctor? That's her privacy. I should respect her privacy."

"Oh." Sydney patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

'Mrs. Chase doesn't know Sean is pregnant.

'If she knew about it, she wouldn't be so calm.'

"Syd, do you know what's wrong with Sean?" Mrs. Chase suddenly asked.

Sydney's eyes flickered and she replied, somewhat sheepishly, "I know a bit."

"No wonder you were not surprised when I told you that I met Sean at the hospital. You knew that already."

"I knew a little." Sydney gave a wry smile, "She's my secretary. She needs to ask me for leave if she goes to the hospital."

"You have a point. I forgot about that." Mrs. Chase slapped her forehead and continued, "Syd, Sean won't tell me what's wrong with her, but I noticed she looked very pale, so I'm afraid she's seriously ill. She was in a hurry at the hospital. I guess she may not be able to handle it. I'm afraid she'll give up and not accept treatment. You are her boss, so you must encourage her and convince her to accept treatment."

Sydney was amused at Mrs. Chase's words inside.

She hadn't expected Mrs. Chase to think that Sean was seriously ill, which was even incurable.

Sydney almost burst out laughing.

But to keep Mrs. Chase from suspecting, Sydney held back her laughter. She tucked her hair behind her ears as she replied, "Don't worry, Auntie. I'll talk to her."

"Okay. I'm done here. You have work to do, so I'll leave you to it." Mrs. Chase said as she looked at the time.

After hanging up the phone, Sydney found Sean on WhatsApp and sent her a voice message telling her what Mrs. Chase had just told her.

Sean was in the office next door at that moment. She listened to Sydney's voice messages on a bluetooth earphone. Learning that Mrs. Chase asked about her, Sean had mixed feelings in her heart and her eyes welled up with tears.

'Mrs. Chase is so kind. However, we can't be a family...'

After listening to Sydney's voice message, Sean replied with a text message: [Ms. Raines, please thank Mrs. Chase for me.]

After that, she put the phone aside, collected herself, and went on with her work.

She knew that although Mrs. Chase cared about her and it was heartwarming, she shouldn't have too many expectations. Otherwise, she would be disappointed and upset.

Reading Sean's reply that she only wanted to thank Luke’s mom and nothing more, Sydney sighed and shook her head. She didn't send another message and got back to her work, too.

Soon, it was time to go home.
