Chapter 566\u00a0<\/p>\n
As soon as Eliana was transferred into a VIP ward, Julian guided Sydney into a chair with steady pressure.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo matter how worried you are, you cannot ignore your own body,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sydney did not argue. Once she finished checking Eliana\u2019s pulse, she already knew that anxiety achieved nothing. All they could do was wait for the research institute to analyze the blood sample. Only then could she formulate an antidote.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yet no matter how she examined the situation, she could not understand how Eliana had been poisoned.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Elliot\u2019s call arrived at the perfect moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was for Julian, but he handed the phone to her at once, aware of the tension in her eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMiss, the police have not found anything toxic in the house. But after checking the surveillance footage\u2026\u201d Elliot hesitated.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sydney asked, \u201cFound what?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThey discovered that Caleb visited Alan\u2019s home earlier today. After he left, Eliana went out in a hurry. Something must have happened. She returned soon after, and not long after that, Marcus found her unconscious.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sydney\u2019s face tightened. \u201cYou think the poisoning might be connected to Caleb?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
A chill ran through her, but she shook her head. That did not fit. Caleb would never do something like that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Elliot continued, \u201cIt\u2019s possible. The police are also checking whether she encountered anyone while she was out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
11\u00a0<\/p>\n
Anyone she met before collapsing became a suspect. Sydney thought for a moment. \u201cHow long between Caleb leaving and Eliana going out, then coming back?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOne hour,\u201d Elliot replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sydney let out a slow breath. \u201cThen he can be ruled out for now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
This poison acted with extreme speed. It would have taken effect long before an hour passed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Elliot accepted her conclusion at once. He did not even ask for her reasoning. \u201cI\u2019ll coordinate with the police and shift the focus to people she met while we were gone.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Julian\u2019s voice dropped. \u201cGo in person. I want results today.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With Elliot\u2019s network, the demand was hardly unreasonable. \u201cYes, sir.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
When the call ended, Sydney realized Julian had been watching her the whole time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She handed back the phone and explained without thinking, \u201cI\u2019m not defending Caleb. It\u2019s just that the toxicity\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are you thinking?\u201d Julian rubbed her head, his eyes warm. \u201cI\u2019m impressed you calmed down and\u00a0<\/p>\n

analyzed everything so quickly.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Years ago, she would have only stared at him in tears and asked what to do. He did not know which version of her broke his heart more.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sydney lowered her eyes. \u201cDo you think it could be Caleb?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Julian\u2019s brow twitched. He pointed at her stomach. \u201cI don\u2019t speak ill of that man in front of the baby. And I trust your judgment.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sydney froze. \u201cWhat does this have to do with the baby?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll never be generous enough to let it acknowledge Caleb as its father.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She stared at him. \u2018So that night, he did not understand me at all\u2026\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had told him he was the father, and he somehow concluded he needed to raise another man\u2019s child.\u00a0<\/p>\n
How had she never realized he could be this magnanimous?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Marcus hurried in with the test results. \u201cSydney!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He caught sight of Julian and corrected himself. \u201cMr. Sterling.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sydney looked at the papers. \u201cThe results are out?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d He handed them over. \u201cEverything matches your expectations.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Liver and kidney functions had taken damage but remained manageable. The rest aligned with her earlier\u00a0<\/p>\n
assessment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sydney studied the report, then looked toward Eliana\u2019s still body on the bed. Her eyes stung.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlan already boarded the plane,\u201d Marcus added. \u201cHe will land tomorrow morning.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Relief steadied her. Alan might have an answer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sydney stayed in the ward without leaving.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At noon, Agatha brought lunch herself. With her there, Julian slipped back to the company to handle urgent work. Marcus returned to the clinic.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing how Sydney barely touched her food, Agatha filled her bowl with soup and chided her gently. \u201cNo matter what happens, you must eat properly. If you collapse before the problem is solved, what then? Besides, you\u2019re carrying a baby. It needs nourishment too, does it not?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sydney remembered Julian\u2019s misunderstanding and realized Agatha still did not know the truth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She hesitated, drank a sip of soup, and murmured, \u201cGrandma, you didn\u2019t even know the baby is Julian\u2019s. Why are you so good to it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat nonsense are you talking about?\u201d Agatha shot her a look. \u201cI barely have time to feel sorry for you, let\u00a0<\/p>\n

alone judge something like that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Halfway through, Agatha froze, and her eyes widened. \u201cWhat did you just say?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
What did she mean by not knowing the baby was Julian\u2019s?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Shocked delight lit her features. She grabbed Sydney\u2019s hand, her voice trembling. \u201cAre you saying this child is Jules\u2019?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sydney knew Agatha had never cared about the child\u2019s origins and always treated her with warmth. But deep inside, she must have longed for a great-grandchild.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sydney held her hand and nodded gently. \u201cYes. He\u2019s the biological father. And you are this child\u2019s great- grandmother.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
