Chapter 584\u00a0<\/p>\n
Marcus waited quietly to the side, listening for Alan\u2019s diagnosis.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alan tucked Eliana\u2019s hand back beneath the blanket. \u201cIt matches your judgment almost exactly. A compound poison like this is extremely complex. Part of the toxin in Eliana\u2019s body has not fully taken effect yet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAt this stage, if she takes an antidote that is not perfectly matched, it could instead accelerate the remaining toxin.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The words made Sydney\u2019s chest sink even further. She sat in silence for a long moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This was all because of her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alan knew her too well to miss the turn of her thoughts. \u201cEnough, m back now. Marc will stay and help. You and Julian go home and rest properly for a day.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
More persuasion would only waste time. Sending her home was the better choice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to stay here with Eliana,\u201d Sydney said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I tell you to go back, you go back.\u201d Alan did not argue.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He reached out and checked her pulse, his expression uncharacteristically severe. \u201cI noticed earlier that your complexion was off, yet you still argued with me. Go on. Check your own pulse carefully and ask yourself whether you still want this child.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sydney pressed her lips together. \u201cI already checked. For now, there\u2019s nothing wrong\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFor now?\u201d Alan frowned. \u201cThen shouldn\u2019t you take proper care of yourself? Do you plan to wait until something happens before you feel satisfied?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He shot Marcus a sharp look. \u201cWhat are you standing around for? Co get Julian and have him take her home. None of you ever make things easy.\u201d 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alan rarely lost his temper like this. Sydney knew she could not insist any longer. \u201cThen I\u2019ll go back first. I\u2019ll come again early tomorrow.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ewan\u2019s results should be out by morning anyway.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alan glanced at her. \u201cIf your complexion still looks this bad tomorrow, don\u2019t come. You\u2019ll only irritate me.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
11\u00a0<\/p>\n
When he saw Sydney lower her lashes, his tone softened with a sign. \u201cYou\u2019re already a grown adult, yet you cannot even take care of yourself. How do you expect to take care of Eliana and me in the future?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sydney pressed her lips together and nodded firmly. \u201cI understand Please don\u2019t worry.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Julian came in, exchanged a few words with Alan about Ewan\u2019s progress, then led Sydney away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the car, Julian gave her palm a light squeeze. \u201cAlan scolded you?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d Sydney sniffed softly and turned to the greenery sliding past the window.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was worried about me. He\u2019s afraid my body can\u2019t take it.\u201dHer voice sounded muffled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was not someone who failed to recognize goodwill. Alan had spoken harshly out of urgency, and he was right. She had to take care of herself first so she could properly look after him and Ellana in the future.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They were her only family,\u00a0<\/p>\n
After returning to Delta Mansion, Julian watched her lie down to rest, then went to the study to work.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Agatha sensed something was wrong and knocked before entering \u201cWhat\u2019s going on? Why aren\u2019t you two staying at the hospital today?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe had some abdominal pain. Alan was worried it might affect the baby, so he had her come back to rest,\u201d Julian said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n
+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n
In truth, Julian had not wanted her to go to the hospital at all today With Eliana still lying there and her life uncertain, Sydney would never have listened. He could only accommodate her wishes while arranging everything to keep her from overexerting bersell\u00a0<\/p>\n
Otherwise, pushing back and forth would only upset her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAbdominal pain?\u201d Agatha grew anxious at once. \u201cWhat about Sydney? Can her body handle it? Does she want to eat or drink anything? I\u2019ll make it myself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Julian was exhausted after barely resting for two days, yet he could not help laughing. \u201cThe number of times you\u2019ve personally cooked for me can be counted on one hand.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Most of the time, it was just a plate of pasta.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s different.\u201d Agatha shot him a glare. \u201cA granddaughter-in-law is obviously closer than a grandson. Besides, she\u2019s working so hard to give birth for you. Shouldn\u2019t I treat her even better?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Julian\u2019s eyelid twitched. \u201cFor me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, for you.\u201d Agatha suddenly realized she had misspoken and hurried to cover it up. \u201cWon\u2019t the child call you \u2018Dad\u2019 later? Or call me \u2018Great-grandmother\u2019?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Something like this should come from Sydney herself. It was their happiness to share. Agatha knew her place as an elder and would not insert herself into such matters.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Julian\u2019s expression darkened. \u201cOf course it will call me Dad.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The thought of the child possibly calling Caleb \u201cDad\u201d stirred an inexplicable irritation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Perhaps because Alan had returned, Sydney still worried about Eliana, yet she felt a little more at ease.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She slept deeply. When she woke, darkness had already settled outside the window. She rubbed her eyes and reached for her phone to check the time when a notification chimed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was a message from an unfamiliar number.\u00a0<\/p>\n
[Leave Julian, and I can give you the antidote.] 2\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sydney\u2019s heart tightened. She called the number at once, but no one answered. She tried several more times, with the same\u00a0<\/p>\n
result.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She forced her breathing steady and typed a reply.\u00a0<\/p>\n
[Who are you? Megan?]\u00a0<\/p>\n
No. It could not be Megan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On the way back, Julian had told her that the Hutton had already placed Megan under de facto house arrest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
P\u00a0<\/p>\n
