Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!

Chapter 323 He's the Child's Father

Julien turned off the phone with a grim look. He tossed the phone on the bed but his heart remained troubled, and at the same time, jealous.

He was jealous that Luke could visit Sydney whenever he wanted and did not even need to ask for permission. He could not.

He once had her, the woman he loved but in the end, he pushed her away.

Julien grasped his chest and felt his heart. It was painful.

He looked at the sleeping Sydney with a glimmering gaze.

No matter what happened after this, he would never let her go again. She could only be his and no one else's.

The night went by slowly.

On the second morning, Sydney slowly opened her eyes with a frown.

The first thing she saw was the white ceiling and it caught her off guard.

'Where am I?'

She remembered she was in her apartment but when he opened her eyes, she was somewhere else.

Shocked, Sydney sat herself up and wanted to find out where she was.

Just when she got up, she felt something pulling her hand. She turned and saw Julien.

Julien held her hand while sleeping at the edge of the bed.

Sydney widened her eyes, wondering why Julien was beside her.

Soon, she realized something was not right. She stared at her outfit and noticed a patient's grab.

'So, I'm in the hospital now?’

She pulled her hand away from Julien's grip and touched her face anxiously, wondering what happened.

■What happened?'

She was sleeping in her room but she woke up in the hospital.

Julien woke up when Sydney pulled her hand away.

He widened his eyes as he looked up and when he saw Sydney woke up, the surprised gaze was replaced by a warm one.

"You're awake?" Julien asked. His voice sounded hoarse and numbing since he too, just woke up.

"How are you feeling?" he got up and pressed the bell at the side of the bed while asking.

Sydney looked at him. She shook her head and said, "No, I'm fine, but why am I here?"

"I was talking to you through the phone last night but you suddenly went quiet. So I went over to your place and found you unconscious. That's why you are here," Julien said.

Sydney nodded in realization. "I see. But what happened? Am I sick?"

Julien tightened his lips in silence. He did not have the right words to tell her the current situation.

He did not know how she would react once she found out what happened.

Would she be sad or...?

Sydney’s heart sank because of Julien’s silence. She unconsciously tightened her grip on the sheets and asked, "Tell me, am I sick? What happened to me?"

She sounded anxious with a sense of urgency.

If he refused to say, could it be some terminal illness?

His silence fueled her anxiety.

Julien looked at her. Just when he was about to say something, Finn's voice came from the door.

"Just tell her. There’s no point hiding it from her."

Julien frowned.

Sydney looked at the entrance and asked," What do you mean?"

Finn came in. "You were poisoned."

"Huh? Poisoned?" She was shocked and confused.

"Yes." Finn nodded.

Her grip on the sheets tightened. "What kind of poison?"

She did not remember touching any poisonous things or consuming any poisonous food.

How could she be poisoned?

Sydney turned to Julien.

Julien decided to be frank with her since Finn urged him to.

"You were poisoned by a chemical toxin. It doesn't harm your body but it's lethal to the baby in your belly. It will severely affect the baby's growth and eventually kill it,” Julien said heavily as he secretly clenched his fists.

Sydney widened her eyes in shock. She instinctively put her hands on her belly." Affect the baby's growth and eventually kill it?"

Julien nodded in silence.

She tightened her grasp on her belly. Her mouth opened but words came out delayed. "How? How did it happen?"

Finn leaned on the wall and added, "You were poisoned for almost half a month now. The baby's growth is already affected. It’s already deformed."

Already deformed?!

Sydney looked horrified as she looked at her belly. "So, the baby...”

"You must abort it," Finn said.

Her face turned pale and her muscles tightened. The complex feeling in her stunned her from speaking.

Julien thought she must be shaken and felt horrible. He felt bad for her and he wanted to console her.

"It's okay, you can still...”

"Great." Sydney suddenly looked up with a smile, which everyone knew was forced.

She was forcing herself to accept the fact.

"What do you mean by great?” Julien had a bad feeling.

Sydney took a deep breath to calm herself down. "This baby. I was planning to abort it anyway and I’ve booked a hospital abroad. I'm going to have the abortion this Saturday. Now that the baby has deformed, it only strengthens my thought of aborting it. So, it's great."

Despite saying so, she felt horrible. The sour feeling got to her and wet her eyes.

She had been with the baby for many days and nights now and a bond was formed.

Finn was a little surprised at Sydney's reaction but that was it.

After all, he only cared about her, not the baby in her belly. He did not care whether she decided to keep or abort the baby.

Julien reacted poorly to her words.

Horrified, he looked at her and asked heavily, “What did you say? You've already booked a hospital abroad and you're aborting it this Saturday?"

Yes." Sydney nodded.

"Why didn’t you tell me?" The look on Julien's face turned grim.

She kept quiet about something this important and if it was not for the poisoning, he would only find out about it after she aborted the baby.

Sydney frowned and looked at him with a strange look. "This is none of your business."

They were no longer husband and wife, so there was no reason for her to tell her ex-husband everything.

Julien was shocked before he regained his calm.

He then realized she did not know who the father was, therefore, it was natural that she did not tell him.

Should he tell her the truth?

Julien puckered his lips, hesitating whether to tell her or not.

Finn suddenly grinned. As though he thought things were not complicated enough, he decided to exacerbate it. "That's because he’s the father of the baby in your belly. Of course, he wants you to tell him."

Julien turned around to Finn in disbelief. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

"That’s right." Finn pushed his glasses.

"What are you talking about? How...?"

Before the sentence finished, Sydney noticed the complicated look on Julien and it suddenly stopped her from finishing.

"Impossible. How could you be my baby's father?" Sydney shook her head in denial, disbelief was all over her face.

The paleness on her face showed that she was deeply shaken.

Julien found it difficult to speak when he saw Sydney's reaction. He forced himself to say, "He's right. I'm the father. That night, it was me."

Sydney almost blacked out as her body started to shake.

Julien got closer and wanted to help her but she managed to prop her hand on the pillow to keep herself from falling.

She screamed, "Don’t touch me!"
