**Chapter 361**<\/p>\n
Sydney stood frozen, her heart racing at Julian\u2019s unexpected proclamation. It was as if time itself had paused, leaving her suspended in a moment thick with tension. She approached him deliberately, her movements steady despite the whirlwind of emotions inside her. With a practiced motion, she uncapped the tube of ointment, the faint scent of menthol filling the air as she began to apply it to his injured leg.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhether it\u2019s true or false doesn\u2019t change anything,\u201d she said, her voice steady, yet devoid of warmth. There was an underlying chill in her tone, one that hinted at the distance she had placed between them.<\/p>\n
The weight of her unspoken thoughts hung heavily in the air, almost palpable. She had nearly uttered the words that lingered at the edge of her mind: \u201cIt has nothing to do with you anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n
For the first time, Julian felt a surge of anger welling up inside him, a fire with no clear target. It was a disorienting sensation, one he had not anticipated.<\/p>\n
As she continued to tend to his wound, Sydney maintained her composure, her fingers deftly dipping into the ointment and smoothing it over his skin with a gentle touch. The cool balm melted under her fingertips, a stark contrast to the heat of the moment.<\/p>\n
Julian shifted restlessly, the frustration bubbling within him. \u201cHow can you say it doesn\u2019t change anything? Isn\u2019t your reason for cutting me off because you want to remarry him?\u201d His voice was laced with disbelief, a mixture of hurt and anger.<\/p>\n
\u201cWho said it had to be because of that?\u201d Sydney replied, her gaze steady, challenging him to see beyond his assumptions.<\/p>\n
She finished applying the ointment to his leg, her hands lingering for just a moment before she reached for the cap. But then, her eyes flickered to the bruise marring his cheek. With a resigned sigh, she squeezed out more of the ointment and gently dabbed it onto his cheekbone. \u201cOr was the reason you left me back then just to raise another little sister?\u201d she added, her words sharp yet tender.<\/p>\n
Julian\u2019s body stiffened at her question. It wasn\u2019t solely her words that struck him; it was the way she tilted her head, the tenderness in her touch, and the flicker of pain in her eyes that no icy demeanor could conceal.<\/p>\n
Despite her calm exterior, her expression betrayed a deeper turmoil, revealing the conflict that raged within her.<\/p>\n
As he observed her, Julian\u2019s anger began to dissipate, replaced by a sense of understanding.<\/p>\n
\u201cFine,\u201d he said, a faint smile breaking through his frustration. \u201cThen tell me, what was the reason?\u201d<\/p>\n
His patience, a rare sight for anyone who had known him, was palpable in the air between them.<\/p>\n
But Sydney remained unwavering. She withdrew her hand, capped the ointment with a quiet finality, and rose with an air of composed determination. \u201cI\u2019m done. I\u2019m going home,\u201d she stated, her voice firm as she turned to leave.<\/p>\n
\u201cWait!\u201d Julian called out, his voice slicing through the silence as she moved toward the door. He swallowed hard, frustration tightening his jaw. \u201cIf you\u2019re leaving, then take Yoyo with you.\u201d<\/p>\n
The tone of his voice bore an uncanny resemblance to a couple embroiled in a custody battle, the weight of their shared history hanging in the air like an unspoken agreement.<\/p>\n
Sydney\u2019s eyes lit up with surprise, her expression shifting as she turned back to him. \u201cYou\u2019re willing to give Yoyo back to me?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you mean, give back? We raised him together,\u201d Julian replied, his tone cool but tinged with an undercurrent of defensiveness. \u201cYou kicked my leg so badly I can\u2019t walk him. You\u2019ll look after him for now.\u201d<\/p>\n
The phrase \u201cfor now\u201d hung in the air, heavy with implication. Without a moment\u2019s hesitation, Sydney agreed, her heart racing at the thought of having Yoyo back.<\/p>\n
Just then, Yoyo bounded over, his excitement palpable as he dragged his dog bed behind him, tail wagging furiously. He nudged it against Sydney\u2019s feet before pressing his head against her legs, a picture of pure bliss.<\/p>\n
Julian frowned at the sight of his dog\u2019s unabashed enthusiasm. \u201cWhat, am I not good to you? Keep acting like this, and don\u2019t bother coming back,\u201d he said, half-joking yet half-serious.<\/p>\n
\u201cWoof, woof!\u201d Yoyo barked in response, as if to defend his loyalty.<\/p>\n
Sydney couldn\u2019t help but laugh, bending down to ruffle Yoyo\u2019s fur. \u201cCome on, let\u2019s go home,\u201d she said, her voice softening as she scooped him up, cradling him against her chest.<\/p>\n
With Yoyo safely in her arms, she made her way back to her apartment, the warmth of their reunion filling her with a sense of comfort. But soon after, she returned to Julian\u2019s place to gather the essentials\u2014dog food, the water dispenser, and other supplies that would ensure Yoyo\u2019s comfort.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou plan to raise him at zero cost?\u201d Julian\u2019s voice cut through the air, icy as his gaze followed her every movement around the room. \u201cIf you keep hauling things out like this, I\u2019ll think you mean to move me too.\u201d<\/p>\n
His eyes remained fixed on her, searching for any sign of her intentions.<\/p>\n
Sydney didn\u2019t glance back, her focus unwavering. \u201cI couldn\u2019t carry you if I tried,\u201d she retorted, a hint of defiance creeping into her voice.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can walk myself,\u201d he shot back, irritation flickering in his tone.<\/p>\n
Just then, one of Yoyo\u2019s supplement jars slipped from her grasp and hit the floor with a loud thud.<\/p>\n
Distracted, Sydney missed his next comment. \u201cWhat?\u201d she asked, her brow furrowing in confusion.<\/p>\n
Julian inhaled deeply, forcing himself to rein in his irritation, the tension between them palpable.<\/p>\n
When Sydney finally returned home, Tiffany was already there, her presence a welcome distraction. She hurried over, a look of curiosity lighting up her face as she spotted Sydney struggling with an armful of supplies.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll this is Yoyo\u2019s stuff?\u201d Tiffany exclaimed, her eyes widening as she noticed the dog for the first time.<\/p>\n
Sydney nodded, a small smile breaking through her earlier resolve. \u201cYes. Julian hurt his leg, so I\u2019m looking after him for a while.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom the fight with Caleb yesterday?\u201d Tiffany asked, her voice tinged with concern.<\/p>\n
