Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! -
Chapter 734 Mrs. Madden's Strange Behavior
She reckoned it would be three or six months.
After getting Sydney's confirmation, Finn nodded slightly. "I see."
"Why are you asking, by the way?" Sydney was curious.
Finn pushed his glasses. "Don't you want that woman to have an offspring for the Raines family? In that case, she can't stop her medication. Otherwise, when she is released from jail, she will need time to recover, and you'll have to wait for a long time."
Sydney nodded. "I see. Thanks for the heads-up. I'll talk to the police."
"Alright," Finn hummed and added, "and you should come to the hospital for a reexamination. I presume you're running out of the medicine I prescribed you."
Sydney replied with a smile, "One day's dose is left."
"As I expected." Finn twirled his scalpel, "Come over if you're free."
"Okay, I'm not busy this afternoon and will come over at about three." Sydney checked the time on her computer.
Finn also glanced at his computer. "Come straight to the gynecology department. I'll be there waiting."
"Okay," Sydney agreed.
They chatted for a while longer and hung up the phone.
She didn't need to hurry over. Instead, she put down her phone and continued to work till 2:30. Only then did she get up, grab her bag, and leave Skylight Corporation.
It was three o'clock sharp when she arrived at the hospital.
Sydney parked the car, texted Finn, and entered the building in high heels.
She got on the elevator and pressed the button.
The door slowly closed, but an urgent voice suddenly came from outside. "Wait."
The voice rang a bell, but due to the insulation of the door, Sydney didn't remember who it was. She just subconsciously pressed the Open button.
The door opened, and the person outside hurried in. Carrying a thermos bucket, she put her other hand on the wall and panted lightly.
That showed how eager she was to catch the elevator.
When Sydney saw the incomer, her face flashed with astonishment, and then her brows furrowed.
'No wonder the voice is so familiar to the ear. Turns out it's her.'
'The path is narrow for enemies.'
Sydney folded her arms on her chest and quietly stepped aside to keep a distance from the incomer. Honestly, she regretted opening the elevator.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have to be in the same space as her enemy. It was really embarrassing.
Mrs. Madden hadn't noticed that the person beside her was Sydney. After catching her breath, she smoothed her hair, straightened up, and said with a smile, "Thank you." Upon hearing that, Sydney raised an eyebrow in surprise.
'This is rare.'
'Someone from the Madden family knows politeness.'
Sydney laughed meaningfully, "Mrs. Madden, why don't you turn around and see who I am? When you see my face, I think you'll regret thanking me."
'This voice...'
Mrs. Madden whipped her head around. Seeing Sydney's smiling face, she freaked out. "It's you!"
Sydney's smile went broader. "Good afternoon, Mrs. Madden."
Mrs. Madden turned pale. "What are you doing here?"
Not in her wildest dreams had she thought the person in the elevator was Sydney.
If she had known this, she wouldn't have gotten in.
She just didn't know why Sydney had chosen to open the door even after seeing her.
Mrs. Madden looked at Sydney with mixed feelings in her heart and confusion in her eyes.
She didn't get it.
'Aren't we enemies?'
If she were Sydney, she would have shut her enemy outside.
Sydney had no idea what Mrs. Madden was thinking. She glanced at the jumping digits on the display and curled her lips. "This is a hospital and not the Madden's house. You can come. Why can't I?" "You..." Mrs. Madden lost her tongue, snorted, and turned her face to the side.
By rights, she should be annoyed by Sydney's words.
Somehow, she was not upset at all. She was a little worried.
Mrs. Madden suddenly turned back and asked, "Are you sick?"
Once the words were out of her mouth, not only Sydney but Mrs. Madden herself was stunned.
'What am I doing?'
Mrs. Madden covered her mouth. Bewilderment and loss were written in her eyes.
'Why did I ask such a question?'
'I must have lost my mind.'
Mrs. Madden hurriedly waved her hand and shook her head, explaining in a panic, "Don't get me wrong. I was not worried about you. I... I was just..."
She didn't really know what to say, and her face flushed with anxiety.
Mrs. Madden was trying to cover up something. Sydney got mixed feelings. Her eyes dimmed, and her lips pursed.
That was suspicious.
Mrs. Madden was indeed concealing something. She didn't want to admit that she was worried about Sydney.
Sydney had noticed Mrs. Madden's sincerity when the latter was asking if she was ill.
She had no idea what went wrong with Mrs. Madden today. Why did she suddenly care about her enemy?
Sydney didn't know why, but following Mrs. Madden's question, bitterness rose from the bottom of her heart. She suddenly felt like crying.
She fought it back, clasped her fingers to stay calm, and said indifferently, "You were joking, and I get it. Relax."
She had always discriminated between love and hate and returned kindness with kindness.
Although they were enemies, Mrs. Madden was concerned about her health, and Sydney naturally would not lay bare Mrs. Madden's disguise and embarrass her.
As soon as Mrs. Madden heard that, her eyes lit up, and she nodded in a hurry. "Yeah, I was joking. Why would I care about you?"
"I know," Sydney hummed.
Her response came so quickly that Mrs. Madden was lost for words.
For a moment, the elevator fell quiet. Neither of them talked again. Only their light breathing could be heard.
Sydney slightly turned her head sideways and glanced at Mrs. Madden, who seemed to be thinking about something.
This was the first time she had been in the same space as her enemy. There wasn't a fight between them. On the contrary, her enemy asked about her health. She really felt uncomfortable.
Not only Sydney, but Mrs. Madden was not used to it either.
Mrs. Madden was still reeling from what had just happened. She seemed to have figured out why she was worried about Sydney.
It should be an aftereffect she got from the press release.
Mrs. Madden told herself that Sydney was not Clarice. Clarice had returned to her. She shouldn't entertain foolish ideas and hurt Clarice.
When she met Sydney again, she should act in the same way as before and should not repeat the stupid mistake.
It somewhat relieved her of her panic to think that way.
Soon, Sydney reached her floor.
And the elevator stopped with a ding.
Her high heels clicking on the floor, Sydney immediately went out without saying goodbye to Mrs. Madden.
She simply took Mrs. Madden's concern for her as an accident. It would not make her forget their bad blood.
