Once a Doormat Now Untouchable (Caleb and Sydney) novel Chapter 672

Hearing Julian agree so easily made Raymond unexpectedly uneasy. Would Sydney even want a brother like him?

Back when they could not acknowledge her, he and the family longed for the day they could. Now that the time had finally come, they found themselves at a loss.

Raymond nodded. "Don't worry."

Sydney had made it safely through childhood because Julian protected her. Now the two of them were inseparable. If the Huttons had not appeared out of nowhere, Julian would probably have taken her straight to City Hall by now.

By any measure, the Huttons owed him prior notice. More than that, it would be best to have his consent.

…

In the back garden, Sydney curled into the swing and spoke on the phone.

Marcus sounded as warm and pleasant as ever. He laughed softly. "You really want to go back to seeing patients at the clinic? Even if your body can handle it, I can't make that call. Alan has to approve it first."

"Mm." Sydney smiled. "That's why I need you on my side first. Then I'll work on Alan."

As long as Marcus agreed, she could visit Eliana and raise the issue with Alan while she was there. She was fairly sure that once he checked her pulse, he would approve.

Alan had always believed that healthy people needed something to do. If they stayed idle too long, their spirits would sink. He would not want that for her.

Marcus knew her well. "Sounds like you're confident."

"You can tell?" Sydney did not deny it. She smiled. "So, do you agree?"

"Of course I do." Only then did Marcus begin to complain in earnest. "I haven't dared tell you this, but every time your old patients come in, they crowd the front desk asking, 'When is Dr. Wilson coming back?' The poor receptionist is about to lose it."
