Chapter 299 I Won't Remarry Him

In the clinic, the doctor treated the burns on the back of Julien's hand.

Sydney stood to the side with her hands clasped tightly. She asked with a solemn expression, "Doctor, will there be any major problems with his hand?"

I heard that there are many nerves in the hands. If his nerves get damaged, it'll have an impact on his life in the future.

'I can't afford to take responsibility for that. After all, he only got hurt because he was saving me.'

Julien looked at Sydney's tightly frowning brows and the anxiousness in her eyes. He said softly, "Don't worry. My hand will be fine."

Sydney knew that he was just saying this on purpose, so she ignored him and looked at the doctor, waiting for the doctor's answer.

The doctor threw away the blood-soaked cotton swab and replied, "There isn't a major problem with his hand. It didn't get splashed by a lot of the acid, so it only corroded the flesh. It'll be fine after the flesh grows back, but it may leave a scar."

Hearing the doctor's words, Sydney was finally relieved. "Thank goodness."

Julien's eyes softened slightly. "See? I told you."

Sydney rolled her eyes at him.

Just then, her phone rang.

She pulled it out and looked at it. It was from Luke.

She did not delay and walked toward the clinic door with the phone.

Julien glanced at the caller ID on the screen earlier and saw that she was purposely going to the side to answer it. His expression instantly darkened, and his hand on the table clenched fiercely.

The doctor saw this and pushed up his classes. "Um, Sir, if you suddenly clench your fist like that, I won't be able to apply the medication."

Julien frowned and finally loosened his tight right hand grip.

However, his gaze continued to stare obscurely at the clinic door.

Outside the clinic, Sydney put the phone to her ear and answered the call, "Luke." "Darling, are you okay?" Luke had just come out from a meeting when he heard his assistant say there was an extremist who threw acid on Sydney, so he called over in a hurry to ask how she was doing.

"I heard that someone threw acid on you. Is it true?" Luke gripped his phone tightly with both hands, his voice full of tension and worry.

Sydney nodded. "It's true."

"Then did you get hurt? Where are you hurt? Is it serious?” Luke's heart almost flew out of his chest when he heard her say that it was true. He hurriedly asked a few more questions.

Sydney felt her heart warm when she heard the unreserved concern in his voice, and she replied with a smile, "Luke, calm down. Don't worry, I'm fine. I didn’t get hurt because someone saved me. Otherwise, how would I be able to talk to you on the phone now?"

Luke suddenly breathed a huge sigh of relief at her words. "Thank goodness. That scared me to death."

He patted his chest. "By the way, Darling, you said that someone saved you? Who was it? I have to hurry up and thank him for saving you and the world."

"Saving the world?" Sydney shook her head in amusement. "What are you talking about?"

Luke wiped the sweat that had just seeped from his forehead. "I'm not joking. Since he saved you, it's the same as saving the world."

That kid Layden was a lunatic.

If he found out that Sydney was injured by acid, he might do something to destroy the world, so Luke did not say anything wrong. Sydney did not know what was going on in Luke's mind and just thought that he was deliberately making a joke to cheer her up.

"Okay, Luke, be serious." She tucked a lock of hair behind her ear. "You asked me who saved me. Well, I'm telling you now. That person was Julien."

"What?" Luke was stunned. Then, two seconds later, he asked again, "You mean Julien Flint?"

"Yes." Sydney nodded.

Luke frowned. "What was he doing at your place?"

Sydney rubbed her temples. "It’s a long story, but it's true that he saved me. If it weren't for him, I'd be in the hospital right now."

Luke bristled. "Since he’s the one who saved you, there's no need to thank him. Given the way he treated you in the past, this is just his compensation."

"Don't say that. They're completely different things. He saved me several times before, so the grudge between us has long been settled. I have to thank him for saving me this time," Sydney replied. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Luke fell silent.

After a while, he asked, "Then how do you plan to thank him?"

"I don't know. I’ll ask him what he wants," Sydney said after a moment of contemplation.

Luke frowned. "What if he asks you to remarry him? Will you agree?"

Sydney laughed. "Do you think that’s possible? If he does that, I'd rather get the same injury on my hand to compensate him. In any case, I won't remarry him, ever!

She said the last sentence incredibly seriously.

Luke was stunned too, and he slowly came back to his senses with a smile. "You said it yourself, Darling. I'll remember what you said. I won't agree even if you regret it later.

"I won't regret it." Sydney smiled helplessly.

Luke put down the worry in his heart and relaxed. "By the way, you said that you'd rather get the same injury as him. Did he get injured in order to save you?"

"Yeah. The sulfuric acid splashed on the back of his hand, but it was not that serious. I'm at the clinic with him now, and the doctor is applying medication to him. We'll be going to the police station later.

The netizens supporting Lyra made a report to the police about me."

"Pfft!" Luke could not help back his laughter. "Are you serious? Don't you mean they're our supporters instead? Are they helping Lyra because they want her to go to jail faster?"

Sydney curled her lips. "Probably. Well, let's stop talking here. I need to see how Julien's treatment is going."

"All right. I’ll go to the police station to find you when I'm done with work." Luke nodded.

After the call ended, Sydney put down her phone and went back into the clinic.

The doctor had finished applying the medication to Julien's hand and was wrapping it with a bandage.

Julien's eyes flickered when he saw her come in. "What did Luke talk to you about?"

His tone was like a husband questioning his wife.

Sydney put the phone in her bag. "Nothing. How much is it?" she asked the doctor.

The doctor told her a number.

Sydney pulled out her wallet, took out two bills, and put them on the table.

The doctor finished bandaging Julien, picked up the money, and went to get her change.

Julien looked at his hand and tried to clench his fingers, but the bandage was wound too tight. He could not grab anything at all, and his fingers could barely move as well.

It was clear that his life in the next few days would be somewhat inconvenienced.

Sydney saw this and lowered her eyes. " You didn't have to save me."

Julien’s hand froze, and he narrowed his eyes at her. "Why do you say that?"

"We’re two completely unrelated people. You don’t have to take such a risk to save me. You must've known how harmful sulfuric acid was." Sydney met his gaze.

Julien pursed his lips. "I know."

"Then why...?"

"You’re different." Julien cut her off. "In your opinion, we’re two people who have nothing to do with each other, but it’s different for me. You're the person I love. If I can't even save the woman I love, who am I supposed to save?"

He gazed at her with deep affection.

Sydney felt that his eyes were blazing hot, making her feel incredibly uncomfortable. She turned her face to the side. "No matter what, since you saved me, I won't forget this kindness. As long as you don't ask me to remarry you or to get back together with you, you can have anything else you want."
