Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! -
Chapter 342 He Won't Give Up
After hearing those words, Julien's dull eyes visibly brightened up.
He raised his eyes slightly. "Really?"
"Of course," Jayden lowered his eyes and replied somewhat guiltily.
'Sydney did come to see Julien yesterday, but it was me who forced her to come. She didn't want to come by herself.'
However, Jayden was not planning to tell his brother this. Otherwise, Julien would be disappointed.
Fortunately, Julien was immersed in the joy of Sydney's visit yesterday and did not pay attention to Jayden.
Otherwise, Jayden's poor acting skills would be exposed at a glance.
Julien curled his lips slightly. When he thought that Sydney came here yesterday, he no longer felt the pain from the injury on his back.
She came to see him.
Could he boldly think that she was caring for him?
Just as he was thinking, there were several footsteps outside the ward.
Jay den looked over and saw the people clearly through the transparent glass wall.
"Julien, it's Dr. James and Grandma," he said.
Julien put away the joy in his heart and looked up.
Old Madam Flint came in first and asked calmly, "Julien, do you hate me? Do you hate me for beating you like this?"
Julien could not get up yet, but he could still move his head.
He shook his head slightly and replied in a low voice, "I don't hate you. I did something wrong, so I deserve to be punished."
After all, after he just divorced Sydney and did not realize that he loved her, he touched her when he already had a fiancee. That was wrong in itself.
To put it bluntly, he broke the law!
When the Old Madam Flint heard Julien's answers, her tense expression finally eased. "It's good if you know. Finn, take a look at him."
"Sure, Old Madam. " Finn pushed up his glasses and took a step forward.
Ten minutes later, he took off his bloodied gloves, looked at Julien, who was pale and sweating in pain, and said with a smile," Old Madam, I've finished the examination. President Flint has a clear sense of pain, which means there's nothing wrong with the nerve and muscle tissue in his back. He just has to pay attention to his injuries. However, these whip wounds on his back are sure to leave scars."
"That's fine. It's no big deal for a man to have a few scars. It's not on his face, anyway," the Old Madam glanced at Julien's back and said indifferently.
Finn chuckled. "You're right. Well, I won't disturb your family time anymore. I'll take my leave now."
After saying that, he put his hands in the pockets of his white coat and walked out.
Only the Old Madam, Julien, and Jayden were left in the ICU.
The Old Madam sat down in the chair that Jayden was sitting in earlier. "Sydney came over yesterday."
"I know," Julien's brows softened as he answered.
The Old Madam saw this and sighed. "I chatted a little with her. Julien, I can see that she doesn't love you anymore."
Before, she asked Sydney several times whether the latter still had feelings for Julien, and whether it was still possible for them to get back together.
However, Sydney said that she did not, and it was impossible between them.
The Old Madam had thought that Sydney answered that out of impulse and still had some feelings for Julien. After all, Sydney loved Julien for so many years. How could she just stop loving him at the drop of a hat?
However, after yesterday, the Old Madam finally realized that Sydney was not impulsive at all. She had always meant what she said.
When Julien heard the Old Madam's words, the joy he felt at Sydney coming to see him instantly went cold.
He clenched his fists. "Grandma, what are you trying to say?"
The Old Madam looked at him. "I'm trying to say, maybe Syd and you aren't destined for each other. Give up, Julien."
Julien's expression changed. "You want me to give up on Sydney?"
Jayden hurriedly spoke up, "Grandma, what are you talking about? Why are you telling Julien to give up on Sydney?
Weren't you the one who supported them to be together the most? Why...?"
"I do support them, but it's useless if I'm the only one!" The Old Madam interrupted his words. "If you and Velma treated Syd better and thought of her as your sister and daughter-in-law, she wouldn't have gotten disheartened enough to divorce your brother. Maybe he'd even consider your feelings and take the initiative to stay away from that scourge Lyra. Maybe Syd and your brother wouldn't have gotten divorced, and they'd already be a harmonious couple!"
"I..." Jayden's young face flushed, feeling indefensible and speechless.
He let his brother and Sydney down.
He indeed caused Julien and Sydney's divorce.
He knew that he was wrong.
When the Old Madam saw Jayden lower his head guiltily, she stopped berating him. After all, he was just a teenager.
She shook her head and looked back at Julien. "That's what I meant. Give up. You tortured Syd in the past, but you're only torturing yourself by continuing to pester her now. What's the point? Let her go, and let yourself go too."
"Let her go?" Julien clutched the sheet tightly, causing veins to bulge from the back of his hands because of the force. His hands were trembling slightly.
He gritted his teeth and said grimly," Grandma, I've loved her for more than ten years. I fell in love with her before I met her and found her true identity. How am I supposed to give up on her? I can't give up on her." He fell in love with Sydney twice. His love was carved deep into his bones.
He could not imagine what he would become if he gave up on her.
At that thought, Julien endured the pain in his back and sat up. He stared at the Old Madam, panting slightly. "Grandma, I won't give up. It doesn't matter if she doesn't love me now. I'll make her fall in love with me again. Since I could fall in love with her twice, she must be able to as well. In any case, I won't let her go. I can't accept her being with another man. I won't let her be with another man unless I die!"
The Old Madam's lips pursed when she looked at her eldest grandson's crazy and persistent look. She wanted to say something but finally decided against it.
She wanted to persuade him to let go, but she did not expect him to be so stubborn.
It seemed like her persuasion was useless.
After a long time, the Old Madam stood up with a sigh. "I'll ask you one more time, Julien. Are you sure you won't give up?"
"I won't give up!" Julien looked at her and said with firm eyes.
He said that he would not let Sydney be with another man unless he died.
If he was dead, he naturally would not be able to stop her.
The Old Madam squeezed her walking stick. "Forget it. I'm old and can't convince you. If you want to be stubborn, then be my guest. However, I'll be blunt. I won't help you." She had helped him many times.
Now, she was too ashamed to speak up for him in front of Sydney.
"I know. Thank you, Grandma." Julien looked at the Old Madam's back.
The Old Madam paused, then waved her hand and went out without looking back.
Jayden closed the door. "Julien, even if Grandma doesn't help you, I will. I'm also at fault for how you two ended up like this, so I should do something for you."
"No need." Julien lay down again and refused his kindness.
However, Jayden insisted. "I do. If I don't help you, I'll feel guilty about it all my life. Just don't mind me, Julien."
As if worried that Julien would refuse again, Jayden hurriedly changed the topic. "Well, since you're awake, I'll call Mom and tell her to cook you some soup to help you heal." Then, he took his phone and went to the balcony to make a phone call.
Julien turned to look at him, and the corners of his mouth pulled imperceptibly.
