"He's Hunter's nephew. Their family is busy, so he asked me to take care of the little one for two days." Sydney squeezed Davey's small and fleshy hand.
The child's hand was pleasant to pinch, so it felt very satisfying to squeeze.
Sydney could not help but squeeze two more times.
Finn lifted his chin in understanding." Well, you should go to Julien now. I still have patients I need to see, so I leave first."
"Okay, go ahead." Sydney nodded and took Davey to the ward she stayed at before.
When she arrived at the ward, the door suddenly opened.
Velma came out from inside and was stunned when she saw Sydney. Then, her expression instantly turned mean. "What are you doing here?"
Sydney did not expect to meet her former wicked mother-in-law. She raised her brows and asked, "Why can't I be here?"
Velma snorted coldly. "This is Julien's ward. Are you here to get back together with him?"
Sydney laughed. "Get back together with him? Why would I want to do that? Is he that desirable? Even if he is, with a mother-in-law like you who messes up the family, I wouldn't dare to get back together with him anyway."
"How dare you scold me?" Velma glared angrily.
Sydney curled her lips. "I'm not scolding you. I'm just telling the truth. Look, as soon as you married into the Flint family, you caused your husband to be punished.
Didn't you mess up the family?"
At those words, Velma’s expression suddenly fell and grew depressed.
This change greatly surprised Sydney.
She thought that her words would make Velma furious.
Unexpectedly, Velma quieted down instead.
Furthermore, judging by her expression, she still seemed to be sad about this.
Was she sad that she caused her husband to be punished, or sad because of his passing?
Maybe it was both. However, Sydney was not curious about that.
What she was most curious about was why Velma was so good to Julien.
After all, Velma looked like a vicious stepmother through and through. However, she was a good stepmother. If Old Madam Flint had not revealed it, Sydney would not doubt that Julien was Velma's biological son.
That was because there was no difference in the way Velma treated Julien and Jayden.
Even a well-educated noble lady might not necessarily treat her stepchild as well as her own, let alone an ordinary civilian like Velma. However, Velma was able to treat Julien like he was her biological child.
There must be some kind of reason for this.
However, whatever the reason was, it was none of Sydney's business. She would not ask even if she was curious.
At that thought, she rubbed her temples and said, "Okay, Mrs. Flint, stop wasting time. I'm only here to return something to President Flint. Tell him I said thanks."
Velma recovered from her grief and looked down at the exquisite bag in Sydney's hand. She regained that gloomy expression from earlier and said, "Hey, the packaging is so good. It must be a gift for Julien, yet you're still saying that you're not here to get back together with him?"
Sydney rolled her eyes.
Well, it was a waste of time to talk to people who lived in their own thoughts.
"Fine. I won’t go in, so you give this to him instead." Then, Sydney directly shoved the bag into Velma's hands and took Davey to leave.
Velma looked at the disappearing adult and child’s figures and curled her lips." Bah! There's no way I'll give this to Julien.
I’ll throw it away once I see what it is!" 'She wants to give Julien a gift and get back together with him? Dream on!'
Velma rudely tore open the bag and took out the box inside.
Like the bag, the box was very exquisite. Velma could tell at a glance that it was a jewelry box.
In other words, there was jewelry inside?
Julien could sit up now and did not have to lie down on his bed like for the past two days.
At that moment, he was leaning against the headboard, holding a tablet in his hand. He was reading the financial statements when he heard footsteps, and he turned around to look. "Mom? Didn't you go back already?"
"I forgot to take my phone." Velma pointed to the phone beside the bed.
Julien hummed.
Velma walked over and took the phone. " Julien, uh... Did anyone say they would be visiting you today?"
Although Julien did not know that Sydney came earlier, there was no guarantee that Sydney did not contact him before she came.
If she did, the Azure Heart...
"No. Why are you asking?" Julien narrowed his eyes on her. His deep eyes seemed to be examining her.
Velma was afraid that he would see her guilt and hurriedly lowered her eyes. She laughed dryly and said, "Nothing. I was just curious because none of your friends came to see you even though you're in the hospital. Since no one's coming, then forget it."
She was relieved.
It seemed like Sydney did not tell him in advance. In that case, the Azure Heart would belong to Velma.
At that thought, Velma could not help but smile from ear to ear.
Julien raised his brows, finding her behavior strange.
However, he did not ask and lowered his head to continue reading the report.
Velma did not stay long either. She took her phone and left.
She wanted to hurry back and try on the Azure Heart in front of a mirror.
The Azure Heart was beautiful, so she must look good if she wore it too.
On the other hand, Sydney drove Davey to Skylight. Sophie looked at Davey and asked in surprise, "President Raines, is this your son?"
