Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!
Chapter 331 Sydney's Bias

Julien took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He looked at Sydney and said, "I admit that what I did was wrong and I'll make it up to you, but this is different. Sydney, don't mix them up together. "Layden poisoned you and caused deformation to the baby, it's intentional murder! I must call the police!"

"Deformed or not, 1 was going to abort the baby anyway. I don't care, I won't allow you to call the police on Cay!" Sydney insisted and she sounded stern.

Julien looked at her in disbelief. "What did you say? Deformed or not? Sydney, that's your child!"

As a mother-to-be, it was not appropriate for her to say such irresponsible words, at least to Julien.

Sydney knew it sounded inappropriate but she did not care. She did not care about what Julien thought.

She let go of his arm and said coldly, "Yes, it was my child but so what? He shouldn't exist in the first place. He's a mistake! Besides, it's just a fetus, it's not even human yet. To me, Cay is more important than a fetus!"

Despite saying so, her heart hurt.

It was at this moment that she realized she cared about the child more than she thought she would.

However, Julien could not read minds. He faltered and looked at her as if he was looking at a stranger. "Fine, you don't care, but I do! That's my child as well! As a father, I must do justice to my child!'

Sydney scoffed. "Justice? Julien, you knew I was pregnant early on and you aren't like this. You don't care if I abort it or not.

You're happy if it's gone, and you don't care even if it's not. You won't acknowledge him as your child anyway.

"Why don't you care about the child at that time? Why now? Why show your fatherly side now after it's gone? Isn't it a little too late? You hypocrite!"

Julien gulped. "Is that how you see me?"

"It's not how I see you, it's what you are!" Sydney mocked him.

Julien felt pain in his heart. He wanted to deny her claims but the words were stuck in his throat.

Maybe he was what she thought, hence the lack of words to defend himself.

Julien went silent for a while before he said with a hoarse voice, "Are you going to let Layden off?"

"Yes," Sydney said with her eyes down.

"Even if he poisoned you? You're okay with that?" he asked.

Sydney clutched her hands. "Yes. I believe he can change and I'm willing to give him a chance."

Everyone was biased toward the things they believed in or were fond of.

Compared to an unexpected child, Sydney cared more about Cayden. She could not bear watching Cayden being behind bars.

"A chance, eh? Are you not afraid of what he'll do to you in the future?" Julien stared at her.

Sydney tightened her lips and looked rather evasive. "I believe Cay won't do it again. He did it this time because he's sick."

As for what illness, she did not want to reveal it to Julien. It was Cayden's privacy after all.

Julien did not care either. He wore a sardonic smile and said, "Sick... If I was sick when I did what I did to you, will you forgive me like you forgive Cayden?"

Sydney frowned. "What? You were sick?"

Julien scoffed. "You never believed me."

He did not tell her that he was hypnotized because other than him not wanting to use her mercy to his advantage, more importantly, he knew she would never believe him.

She would only believe that he said it on purpose to replace an excuse for what he did.

Sydney sensed disappointment in him. Her lips moved and wanted to say something

Julien regained his calm and composure. He stared at her and asked, "Sydney, I'll ask you one more time. Are you sure you are going to let Cay den off? You won't regret it?' "I won't!" Sydney nodded without hesitation.

Julien shut his eyes. His consciousness was fading in the darkness. "Okay, I understand. Rest well. I'll come by tomorrow."

He planned to stay the night but now, he had to calm down first.

Sydney watched him going out and she called him, "Julien."

Julien stopped but did not turn around. "What?" "You're not going to hold Cay responsible?" Sydney asked. The clutches of her sheets got tighter.

Julien forced a mocking grin on his face.

He thought she called him because she changed her mind, but it seemed like he was overthinking.

"Even if I want to hold him responsible, you'll forgive him in the end and tell the police to stop, am I right?" Julien looked asquint at her.

"I will," Sydney said with her eyes down.

"So, what's the meaning of me calling the police?" Julien turned back. His voice sounded colder when he said, "But Sydney, this is the first and the last. You better pray I don't have anything on Cayden, or I'll make him regret it."

He then left the ward.

Sydney stared at the shut door for a few seconds before she sighed a breath of relief.

She then stared at the crumpled report on the floor blankly. She could tell Julien was angry when he learned it was Layden.

She rubbed her temples. "Am I doing the right thing, covering up for Cay like this...?"

She ought to convince him to accept therapy tomorrow.

When Layden finally got treatment for his condition, only then she could confirm whether her choice was the correct one.

On the other hand, after Julien walked out of the ward, he pulled out his phone and called Zach. "Lome pick me up at the hospital."

Zach was having a gathering with his friends at a local eatery. Just when he popped open a bottle of beer, he heard his boss calling. His delighted mood turned cloudy immediately.

"But President Flint, I thought you were spending the night at the hospital," Zach asked politely but deep down, he was cursing at his boss.

Julien walked to the garden and sat down on the bench. "I'm not. Come over quickly."

"Okay." Zach nodded.

A second after he hung up the phone, the look on his face changed and he bolted up furiously. "Okay guys, our party ends right now."

"What's wrong?" his friends asked.

Zach grabbed his jacket. "My stupid boss with the mood of the weather wants me to pick him up. He got turned down at his girl's place. Whatever, I'll see you guys next time."

He sighed and headed to the car.

Half an hour later, Zach picked Julien up.

When Julien got into the car, Zach's curiosity drove him to ask, "President Flint, are you...? Is Ms. Raines...?"

"Drive!" Julien bellowed.

Zach knew he was not getting an answer. He shrugged in disappointment and drove as ordered.

Julien propped his elbow on the door and face on his palm. He sank into the shadows and it concealed the look on his face.

He spared Layden this time because he did not want Sydney to be sad and hate him even more.

However, he would never forget this. He planned to send his men to watch over Cayden and once he got anything on that man, he would make him pay for all the things he had done to Sydney.

He admitted that he was not a qualified father but he and Sydney should have the right to decide whether to keep the child or not, not an outsider.

It was then his phone rang.

Julien pulled his phone out and answered," What?"

"Bro, where are you? Hurry up and come back. Brandon Madden is here and he said he wants to talk to you." Jayden's anxious voice came from the other end of the call.
