Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!
Chapter 298 Splashed by Sulfuric Acid

"What?" Sydney frowned and subconsciously looked over.

However, before she could see what was going on, someone suddenly hugged her body.

Julien held her and turned to the side.

The next second, there was the sound of glass shattering at the spot where Sydney just stood, followed by a sizzling sound.

"Urk..." Julien suddenly let out a groan.

Sydney heard a hint of pain in his voice.

She looked up at him and looked at his pale face that broke out into cold sweat. She hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Julien did not answer and just let her go. He squeezed his slightly trembling right wrist with his left hand.

Sydney looked down and immediately gasped. "Y... Your hand..."

"My hand is fine. What about you? Are you okay?" He raised his pale face and kept watching her, the tension in his eyes unconcealed. Sydney's lips twitched. An indescribable feeling welled up in her heart.

'You don't care that you're hurt but ask me if I'm okay instead?

'Is he stupid?'

When Sydney did not answer, Julien's expression tightened. "Did you get hurt?"

"No." She shook her head.

Julien stared at her for two seconds and confirmed that she was not lying before sighing in relief. Then, he smiled weakly." That's good."

Sydney bit her lip and glared at him." What's good about that? Your hand is hurt!"

"I'm fine." Julien insisted.

Sydney pointed to his hand and smiled in anger. "You call this fine?"

On the back of his right hand was a wound the size of a penny. The injury itself looked gory. The skin was shriveled up and even the edges of the wound were charred black. It was an injury formed by something corrosive.

What could corrode the flesh so quickly? There was only one answer: sulfuric acid!

At that thought, Sydney looked coldly at the spot where she was standing earlier. When she saw that most of the car paint on the door was bubbling on the ground after being corroded by the sulfuric acid, she immediately knew what had just happened.

The man who called her an evil woman earlier threw sulfuric acid at her and tried to kill her.

Julien found out and held her to avoid the acid, so the acid splashed on the car instead. However, a drop landed on the back of Julien's hand, causing serious burns on the back of his hand.

In other words, if Julien had not saved her, the sulfuric acid would have hit its target and burned her alive.

Maybe she would not die if she was lucky, but the skin on her entire body would be completely ruined, never to be repaired. She would become a horrible monster that could never see the light of day again! When she thought about that, her heart first felt a moment of fear, and then there was a strong surge of anger and hatred.

She clenched her fists tightly, and her eyes were red as she looked at the person who had thrown the acid.

The man had already been captured by the bodyguard captain. He looked ordinary and unassuming, and he was gagged by a pair of gloves.

However, the grimace on his face was horrible. It was truly terrifying to look at.

Sydney did not recognize him and did not know why he held such malice toward her.

However, it did not matter. Everything would be revealed when he was sent to the police station!

Not far away, the group of reporters saw this scene. Even the audience watching the live broadcast was shocked beyond measure.

They never thought that someone would throw sulfuric acid at Sydney.

They saw something that would only occur on TV happen in real life.

This was sensational news. They had to report it quickly!

Sydney ignored the reporters and returned to Julien's side. When she looked at his hand, her brows wrinkled tightly, and the look in her eyes became even more complicated.

"Where are your car keys?" Sydney said with an urgent tone, "My car can't be driven anymore. I'll take you to get your hand checked."

Julien looked at her. "Left pocket." "Shirt or pants?" Sydney was a little angry when he answered vaguely.

She wanted to send him to a hospital as soon as possible.

However, he did not answer clearly and was wasting time instead.

Julien also saw that she was a little upset, so he stopped delaying and said honestly," Pants."

When she finally found out where the keys were, she rubbed her brows and then directly stuck her hand into Julien's left trouser pocket.

Julien froze.

He thought that she would tell him to take it himself. After all, his left hand was fine.

Unexpectedly, she took it herself.

Julien could clearly feel Sydney's hand separated by the thin layer of the pocket cloth. His skin tingled when her hot and soft skin touched him.

His eyes darkened as his thigh muscles trembled.

Sydney also noticed and looked up at him. When she saw his deep burning eyes, she finally realized what she had done.

She stuck her hand in his pants pocket!

The tip of her ears turned red. She quickly grabbed the keys and pulled out her hand. Then, she turned away, not daring to look at him. "Sorry, I didn't mean to." She was just eager to get the key and did not think much about it at all.

She only realized how bold she had been after she snapped back to her senses.

Julien's throat bobbed, and his voice was slightly hoarse as he replied, "It's fine. Don't worry about it."

Sydney's eyelashes trembled and she hummed.

Julien knew that she was still bothered. He sighed imperceptibly and changed the subject. "Did you get the key?"

"Yeah." Sydney held out her palm, revealing the car key with the Maybach icon printed on it.

He nodded. "I'll leave the driving to you."

"Sure. But that person..." Sydney looked at the person who was kneeling on the ground, completely pinned down by the bodyguard captain. Her expression was icy cold.

A dark light flashed in Julien's eyes as he slowly said, "He was targeting you. What do you want to do?" "Send him to the police station," Sydney replied, "I also want to know who made him do this!" She suspected it was Lyra.

Lyra just slandered her, and this man suddenly threw acid at her so coincidentally. There were no suspects other than Lyra. Julien naturally thought of that as well. His eyes narrowed dangerously. "Okay. I'll tell the bodyguard to send him there." Sydney hummed and pressed the car keys.

After the doors were unlocked, the two got in the car and drove out of the parking lot.

Along the way, Sydney called Sophie and told her to make a copy of the monitoring in the parking lot and send it to the police.

The cameras would have recorded the scene of the man throwing sulfuric acid, so that man's evidence was conclusive.

After contacting Sophie, she made a call to the police station and told them that she might be a little late.

Fortunately, Sydney was currently only a person involved in the case and was not even a suspect, so the police were reasonable and agreed to let them come a little later.

Julien sat in the passenger seat and continued staring at Sydney.

His deep eyes were filled with admiration when he saw her calmly negotiating with the police.

She had indeed changed a lot since the divorce.

She was becoming more and more excellent.

Sydney felt his gaze and put down her phone, glancing over. "What are you looking at?"

"Nothing." Julien smiled.

Sydney only felt that he was strange but did not ask any more questions. She quickly turned her head back since she was driving.

A few minutes later, she parked the car at a roadside parking lot. "Okay, get out."

Julien unbuckled his seatbelt with one hand and glanced out the window. "This isn't the hospital."

"It's a clinic. I saw that your hands were shaking from the pain, so I didn't drive to the hospital since it's too far. I found a clinic instead," Sydney replied. Julien nodded slightly, then pushed open the car door to get out.
