Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!
Chapter 326 Stop Being Harsh on Yourself

"I understand." Julien nodded.

Finn pocketed his hands under his surgery robes and walked away.

A while after he was gone, a nurse helped Sydney out of the operation room.

An abortion did not require to operate on the patient, so Sydney could walk on her own so she was not even bedridden.

However, it was difficult on her stomach and it did not feel good down there, which resulted in her limping out with the help of the nurse.

Each step exacerbated the pain in her stomach and it painted her face pale. Even her forehead was covered in sweat.

The scene clutched Julien's heart. He quickly went over and said, "Here, let me."

He reached out and tried to take over the nurse's position.

The nurse assumed he was a family member, so she did not deny him. She let go and moved aside.

However, before Julien could touch Sydney, Sydney avoided him and uttered weakly, "I can walk by myself."

She put her hands on the wall and slowly moved forward with clenched teeth.

Her stubbornness both upset and hurt Julien, which put a grim look on his face. "I know you don't want to see me but you're at a critical stage. Even if you hate me, you don't have to put your body through all this."

He then bent over and carried her in his arms.

Sydney instinctively put her hands around his neck but when she reacted to what happened, she moved her hands away and started to struggle. "Put me down!"

Julien turned a deaf ear and continued toward the ward.

Sydney reacted to his ignorance by pushing his chest. "Julien, put me down! Did you hear me?!"

"Stop moving!" Julien hugged her tighter. He looked at her with a deep gaze and said, "You've just completed an operation and I suggest you stay put. If you fall, it's your body that will get hurt, not mine. Why are you being so harsh on yourself?"

His words silenced Sydney immediately.

He was right. She had no reason to be this harsh on herself.

If he wanted to be her legs, just let him be.

With that thought in mind, Sydney calmed down but her body remained stiff.

Julien squinted. It was said that when a person was at his or her weakest, they would want someone to rely on. However, her stiffness stated that she did not want to lean or even rely on him. Otherwise, why could she not relax?

It was quiet along the way.

Back at the ward, Julien put her down on the bed and pulled the blanket over her. He asked warmly, "Are you hungry?"

Sydney shook her head but her stomach was rumbling.

Julien chuckled. "Take a rest. I'll go get something for you."

He poured her a glass of water before he left.

The ward finally quieted down.

Sydney touched her belly. The little bump she had earlier was gone. It felt like being pregnant was nothing more than a bizarre dream.

However, the lingering pain reminded her that she once had life flourishing in her belly but it was now gone.

She bit her lips, clutched her patient's grab, and started sobbing.

Whether it was a joyful tear or a sorrowful cry, no one knew.

Then, her phone rang.

She wiped her tears away, and took a couple of deep breaths to calm herself down before she grabbed her phone. She had a glance at the caller ID and then answered the phone, "Hello?" "Darling, where are you?" Luke's voice came from the other end of the phone and he sounded anxious. "Sophie said you didn't come to work today and I can't replace you at your apartment. Where are you?" "I'm at the hospital." Sydney leaned back on the bed. Her voice sounded tired.

Luke noticed her tiredness and it fueled his anxiety. He held the phone with both his hands and asked loudly, "Hospital? What happened to you, Darling?!"

"Nothing. I just had an abortion," Sydney said with her eyes half-closed.

"What? Abortion?" Luke was shocked. "No, wait. I thought you said you're having it abroad this weekend. Why now? Where are you? Which hospital are you at? I'm coming over." "Prima Hospital," Sydney answered as she massaged her temple.

Luke hung up the phone and ran toward the elevator.

Sophie came out of the secretary's office with a cup of coffee and saw Luke smashing the elevator's button. Surprised, she asked, "Mr. Chase, where are you going? Aren't you going to wait for Ms.

Raines?"

Luke did not even listen to what Sophie said because of his anxiety. The moment the elevator opened, he dashed inside.

Sophie's delightful gaze dimmed down when the elevator door closed before her

eyes. A bitter smile appeared on her face.

Ever since she was reassigned to be under Sydney, she barely had the chance to see him. Whenever she got the chance, Luke would either accompany Sydney or leave after a while. She did not even get the chance to talk to him.

She thought that with Sydney away, she could use the chance to approach him and talk to him. Even if it was work-related, she would be happy.

To her surprise, he left before she knew it.

Luke dashed to Skylight's parking lot and just when he was about to get into his car, a black sports car came and stopped in front of him.

The window wound down and Layden popped his head out. "Where are you going in such a hurry?'

Luke's eyes glimmered. "You're just in time. We'll take your car. Yours is faster."

Luke then jumped over and got into the passenger seat. "Hurry, to Prima Hospital." Layden frowned. "What for?"

"Darling just had an abortion. What do you think it's for?" Luke fastened the seatbelt.

Layden looked surprised. He tightened his grip on the steering wheel and said, "Did you just say Sis had an abortion?"

"Yes." Luke nodded.

Layden squinted. The mixed feelings clouded his thoughts for a moment.

Why would Sydney have the abortion now?

Was she not supposed to have it this weekend abroad?

Could it be that she found out?

Luke noticed Cayden's lowered head and drifted thoughts. He tapped on his shoulder and said, "Why are you spacing out? Hurry up and drive! You're here to see Darling right? If so, just go to the hospital with me!"

"Okay." Cayden blinked and looked up. He suppressed the complicated thoughts and feelings as he turned his car around.

Back at the hospital, Sydney was having the porridge Julien got her.

She just went through an abortion, so she could only have light food.

Julien was talking to Zach about work through the phone.

When he finally hung up, Sydney looked at him expressionless while stirring the porridge blankly. "If there's work at the company, just go. You don't need to be here."

Julien looked at her. He wanted to tell her he was worried but his company needed his attention as well. His presence was needed to solve what just happened. Some thoughts later, Julien decided to go back to work.

He put his phone away and looked at her deeply. "Okay. I'll come by at night. Call me if anything."

Sydney continued sipping the porridge without answering.

Julien softly sighed and looked disappointed. He then grabbed his jacket and left.

Sydney did not even spare a look at him when he left.

When Julien got out of the building, he paused to have another look at the ward's window before he left without turning back.

Mrs. Madden somehow saw this particular scene and she was surprised to replace Julien here.

However, she swiftly recalled what she saw yesterday when Julien admitted Sydney to the ICU. She knew that Sydney must be hospitalized and he came to visit.

Since Sydney was hospitalized, she must be having a tough time. Mrs. Madden even wondered what illness she got.

With this thought in mind, Mrs. Madden went to the reception and asked the nurse," Miss, I want to ask about that man who just walked out. Who did he visit?"
