Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!
Chapter 447 Zach's Discontent

Sydney hurriedly shook her head. "It won't happen again, I promise."

"That's more like it," Luke grunted and let her go.

Sydney lifted her arms, rubbed her temples, and asked, "By the way, how long did I sleep?"

"Two days," Luke replied.

With her mouth agape, Sydney said, "Two days? I was in bed for two days?"

"Yeah." Luke nodded, "According to Finn, it's because you were stressed out."

"I see." Sydney understood the situation and lifted her chin, "How did I end up in

Port City?"

As far as she could remember, she passed out in the small courtyard of someone's home.

She had no idea what happened afterward.

"You were brought back by Julien's special assistant, Zach. You were with Julien. Zach called me, and I rushed to the hospital, happening to see Julien and you being sent to the emergency room. I asked Zach what had happened and learned that you were abducted and fell off a cliff. Julien jumped off to save you. When I got the news, my heart almost stopped beating." Luke patted his chest, keeping nothing from her.

At the mention of Julien's name, Sydney gaped at him and asked urgently, "What about Julien? Where is he?"

Luke felt depressed to see her so concerned about that man.

Then again, she survived because of Julien. He suppressed his agitation and said truthfully, "Darling, take it easy. Julien is also in the hospital. He is in the next ward."

"How is he?" Sydney pressed, grabbing his arm.

There was gravity in Luke's look. "Not so well. He's seriously injured. His arm was broken, the wound on his back split open, and his internal organs were damaged. He also has a concussion and a fever. In short, it's pretty serious."

He was shocked when he learned about Julien's condition.

It was a miracle that Julien escaped death.

He admired Julien for his courage but got mixed feelings. After all, Julien was injured when he was trying to save Sydney.

"That's serious." Sydney bit her bottom lip, " Is he still in danger?"

Luke shook his head. "No, he's safe now. The fractures have been fixed. He just hasn't come round."

Sydney was relieved. "That's good. Luke, help me up."

She stretched out her hand.

Luke helped her sit up.

She lifted the covers, trying to get off the bed despite her aching back.

Luke hurriedly stopped her. "Darling, where are you going?"

"To check on him," she replied, putting on her shoes.

Luke wanted to dissuade her from doing that but found it hard to, given what they had been through. His lips parted, but only a sigh came out. "Be careful. He won't run." He reached out to support her.

They got out of the ward and headed to the next ward.

The door was open, and Sydney saw Finn standing by Julien's bed Holding a dossier, he wrote down something and talked to Zach. The assistant nodded from time to time. Julien was lying on the bed. His face was no longer red but regained its sickly pallor. It seemed his fever had subsided.

Sydney knocked on the door.

In the ward, Finn stopped his movement. Both men then looked over.

Finn saw her and pushed the glasses up the bridge of his nose. "You're awake."

Sydney hummed in response.

Then she felt a reproachful gaze landing on her.

It was from Zach.

Sydney froze because it was the first time that Zach had looked at her like that. His eyes were filled with discontent, resentment, and displeasure.

She didn't understand the sudden change in his attitude.

Then it dawned on her that Julien's severe condition should be the cause.

Zach had been working for Julien for over ten years. They were nominally superior and subordinate. In fact, they were friends.

Julien was injured so badly because of her, and Zach's resentment was reasonable.

Sydney smiled bitterly and asked softly," May I come in?"

"Yeah." Finn consented.

Luke helped her to go in.

Finn looked at her and asked, "How are you feeling?"

Sydney shook her head. "I'm okay except for the back pain."

"That's normal. The muscles on your back are strained, and the pain will be relieved in about half a month," Finn explained, folding the dossier.

Sydney smiled. "I'm okay. It's nothing compared with his condition."

"That's true." Finn nodded.

Sydney looked at the man on the sickbed." He..."

Predicting what she was trying to ask, Finn put the dossier under his armpit, stuck both hands in the pockets of his white gown, and said, "He's fine. It's just that..."

"Dr. James!" Zach suddenly cut him off with a solemn look.

Finn remembered something and shrugged. "Sorry, he won't let me reveal it."

Without a choice, Sydney turned to Zach and said, "Could you tell me about Julien's problem?"

Julien was lying there because of her.

If anything went wrong with Julien, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.

"Mr. Flint's problem is not your concern," Zach said coldly, looking at Sydney. "You dislike Mr. Flint after all. Why bother asking about it? You sound like you care about him. Don't you think it's hypocritical, Ms. Raines?"

Sydney's face froze.

Luke fumed. "Zach, what do you mean by that?"

"Am I wrong?" Zach looked at him with a sneer, "It's not the first time that Mr. Flint has been injured because of Ms. Raines. What was her reaction? Indifference. She turned a blind eye to it. Now she came to care about Mr. Flint. Who cares?"

In short, Sydney's presence annoyed him.

It was Mr. Flint's choice to jump off the cliff, and he knew that it was not Sydney's fault that Mr. Flint got injured. He just couldn't accept it emotionally.

Why?

Even if Mr. Flint had failed her in the six years of their marriage, he didn't have to make up to her with his life.

His life in exchange for a word of concern from her? That was ridiculous.

"Fine, you don't care, right?" Luke was annoyed by Zach but laughed, "Well then, let's go, darling. Did you hear that? His subordinate said that they don't care, so we..."

"It's alright, Luke." Sydney grabbed Luke's arm. Her eyelids drooped, and she said in a bitter tone, "Zach is right."

"Is he?" Luke's eyes widened.

Sydney's lips parted as she was about to say something. Finn narrowed his eyes and broke his silence. "Enough, this is a ward and not a place for you to argue, and..."

He looked at Zach coldly. "Sydney is my friend and not someone you can attack personally. I'll spare you this time for the sake of Julien's rescue of her. If this happens again, I'm not sure if I'll tamper with the treatment of your boss."

"You..." Zach rounded his eyes in disbelief, grunted in anger, and turned around.
