Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!

Chapter 123 Who’s the Child's Father?

Julien was silent.

He rubbed his temples. "It's fine, then. Never mind if you can’t find it."

Since Lyra said that she did not know who snatched the bag, he could not force her either.

"I'm sorry, Julien. I got into trouble again." Lyra bit her lip in remorse, and her eyes were red.

When Julien saw her guilty look, he tried his best to soften his voice. "This has nothing to do with you.

Don't blame yourself."

"Lyra, you should listen to Julien," Brandon advised.

Mrs. Madden nodded as well.

When Lyra saw that everyone was comforting her, her tears turned into a smile. “I know."

"Julien, how do you plan to resolve Lyra’s case?" Brandon looked at Julien as he asked.

Julien lowered his eyes. "You'll find out tomorrow."

When they saw that Julien did not wish to elaborate more, although Brandon was unhappy, he stopped asking.

The entire journey was filled with silence. Half an hour later, they arrived at the Madden Residence and the three of them got out of the car.

Julien rolled down his window and looked at them." Uncle and Aunt, please take good care of Lyra."

"Don't worry,” Mrs. Madden patted Lyra’s head and smiled as she replied.

Although Brandon did not say a word, he felt the same as Mrs. Madden.

Julien looked toward Lyra and said, "Rest well at home. I’ll come and pick you up during the weekend."

"Okay. Drive safe, Julien." Lyra nodded.

Julien smiled and drove away.

He quickly arrived at the Flint Corporation.

Zach entered Julien’s office with a worried expression. "President Flint."

"What is it?" Julien asked without looking up from his computer.

Zach stood in front of his desk, took a deep breath, and said, "You told me to ask about Ms. Raines’s condition from the hospital. I found out about something.”

Julien stopped typing and looked up. "What is it?”

"She... She's pregnant," Zach replied with a weird expression.

Julien's pupils dilated, and he was frozen at the spot. Only after a few seconds, he returned to his senses and asked in surprise, "What did you say? She's

pregnant?"

"That's right. It's been a little more than a month now.” Zach nodded.

It had only been a little more than a month since Ms. Raines divorced President Flint.

There was a possibility that once Ms. Raines divorced President Flint, she went straight to Mr. Chase.

Julien closed his eyes so that no one could tell what he was thinking. However, the news had led to a storm in his heart.

A little more than a month...

It had been almost a month since that night happened between him and Sydney. Could this child’s father be himself?

Julien felt his heart beating faster. His hand on the mouse unconsciously tightened, which revealed how the turmoil of emotions he was feeling at that moment.

When Zach saw Julien’s reaction, it was not a surprise to him at all.

He knew that Julien had Ms. Raines in his heart.

Therefore when he found out that Ms. Raines was pregnant, of course, he would not be calm.

Just as he thought about it, Julien suddenly stood up." Is there a way to find out who the father of the child is?" "Yes. Amniocentesis. However, this is a dangerous procedure and might cause a miscarriage. President Flint, why are you asking this?" Zach was curious.

Julien did not answer, but his eyebrows were in a tight furrow.

When Zach saw his expression, he suddenly had a bold guess in his heart. "President Flint, are you wondering if the child is yours?”

Julien threw him a glance and nodded.

Zach's mouth twitched.

They were about to get a divorce, so what were they even doing with each other?

Zach was truly impressed.

"Other than amniocentesis, is there any other way?"

Julien looked at Zach as he asked.

Since amniocentesis was dangerous, he must not let Sydney do it.

Zach shook his head. "I don't think so. You have to wait until the child is born."

Julien's lips pursed into a straight line, and he was obviously disturbed by this matter.

Zach carefully tested the waters. "President Flint, don't be too anxious. What if the child isn't yours, but happened to be Mr. Chase's?"

When Julien heard that, his face visibly darkened and his aura became frighteningly oppressive.

Although he knew that Sydney might not be pregnant with his child, when he thought of the fact that the child’s father might be someone else, he felt inexplicably irritated.

Julien tugged on his necktie and said in a low voice," Send someone to follow Sydney. Try to find out whose child she’s pregnant with."

"I understand.” Zach quickly nodded, turned around, and left.

Julien was left in the office alone.

He supported his forehead with his hands and all he could think about was Sydney's pregnancy. It was not possible for him to concentrate on his work.

He finally stood up when it was time to get off work. He took his jacket and walked out of the office.

Julien did not return to the Flint Mansion. Instead, he went to Shallow Bay.

He did not know why he came. When he noticed it, he was already there.

Julien’s car stopped at Sydney’s apartment, but he did not get down.

He rolled down his window and lit a cigarette.

The smoke rose and covered his face. It also covered his expression, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

Boom!

A sudden burst of lightning and thunder appeared in the sky, and the strong wind blew across the entire land.

Immediately afterward, pea-sized raindrops fell and the entire road was wet. Some rain even got through the car window and made Julien's shoulder wet.

He frowned, threw the cigarette out, and closed the window. He then opened his car door and walked toward the apartment.

Sydney just showered and was enjoying the warmth created by the heater. She was comfortably reading her book on energy sources.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

"Yes?" Sydney turned her head in surprise and looked toward the corridor.

It was already so late, so who could it be?

Sydney closed the book in her hands and walked over. When she opened the door, she raised her eyebrow in surprise. "Why are you here?"

She was greeted by Julien.

He was wet from the rain, and his hair was clumped into strands. His shoulders were also wet.

Perhaps it was due to the cold, but Julien’s face was pale.

It was Sydney’s first time seeing him in such a pathetic state. She was suddenly a little surprised.

"It’s me." Julien brushed the rainwater off his shoulders, his voice was a little hoarse.

Sydney could tell that he sounded a little different from usual. Something glimmered across her eyes but it quickly returned to normal.

"What do you want from me? If you're trying to convince me about letting Lyra go, then I think you can give up now."

"I didn't come here for that," Julien said.

Sydney then looked at him suspiciously. "Then?"

Julien said nothing. He lowered his eyes and his gaze fell onto Sydney's abdomen.

It was flat and slim, and it was hard to imagine that there was life within it.

A life that he might have planted himself. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

When Julien thought about that, he felt an inexplicable sense of joy. The way he looked at Sydney became deeper.

Sydney had no idea what he was thinking about, yet she could feel that he was looking at her oddly. She took a step back and asked cautiously, "What are you looking at?"

Julien moved his lips and was about to say something, but he suddenly felt the room spinning and he lost his balance.

He gripped the door handle and managed to remain

standing.

Sydney noticed that something was wrong with Julien. His face was pale earlier, but now it became flushed, and his eyes also seemed to be out of focus.

"Hey, are you okay?" Sydney reached out and waved her hand before Julien's eyes.

Julien lowered his head without giving Sydney a reply.

Sydney could hear his rapid breathing and thought that he must have been unwell. She quickly placed her hand on his forehead.

At the contact, Julien froze and looked up at her.

"You..."

"You're having a fever!" Sydney looked at him in shock and cut him mid-sentence.
