Hearing Sydney's weak voice, Julien immediately swallowed the words he was about to say and hurriedly asked, "Sydney, what's wrong?"
"I'm fine." Sydney closed her eyes as her voice became weaker and weaker.
Julien’s expression fell.
'Your voice is so weak. How can you call yourself fine?'
"Where are you now?" he hurriedly asked again.
This time, she did not answer. The phone slipped from her hand and dropped to the carpet with a thud.
Her head lolled to the side, seemingly asleep.
Julien's heart sank when he heard the sound of the phone dropping to the ground. He shouted her name twice more.
However, she did not respond.
He guessed that something might have happened to Sydney. His expression was tense and he hung up the phone and walked out of the office toward the tech support department.
"Find out where the signal of this number is," Julien handed the phone to a programmer and ordered in a stern voice.
The programmer, who had never seen the boss of the company before, was frightened by Julien's aura and took the phone with a shiver, doing as he was told.
A few minutes later, the programmer pressed the enter key and said, "?... President Flint, the last ping from this number is in Shallow Bay."
Shallow Bay!
Julien’s expression finally improved somewhat after getting Sydney's current whereabouts. He took back his mobile phone, told the programmer that he would double his bonus, and left the department.
Half an hour later, Julien arrived outside Sydney’s apartment with a locksmith.
After all, Sydney stopped responding before she hung up the phone, so it was very likely that she fainted. Since she fainted, she naturally would not be able to come to the door.
"Unlock the door," Julien told the locksmith to open the door quickly.
The locksmith answered and picked up his tools to get to work.
Soon, the combination lock was unlocked.
Julien took out his wallet, pulled out a wad of bills, and shoved them into the locksmith’s hands. He entered the apartment so quickly that the man did not even manage to tell Julien that he gave him too much money.
In the end, however, the locksmith took the money and left happily.
He hoped that there would be more customers with such deep pockets in the future.
In the apartment, Julien entered and immediately saw Sydney lying unconsciously on the sofa.
He strode over and crouched down, shaking her gently. "Sydney, wake up!"
Sydney did not respond.
Julien raised his hand and touched her forehead. She did not have a fever, but it did not look like she was asleep either.
If she was not asleep and did not faint from a fever, it was obviously another problem.
He did not think much about what the reason was. He directly picked her up and rushed out of the apartment.
When he arrived at the hospital, Finn just so happened to be sending a patient out of the elevator. When he saw Julien holding Sydney in front of the elevator, his expression changed and he hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
"I don't know, she just fainted." Julien lowered his head and looked at her. The worry was unconcealed on his face. "Help her!" "Stretcher!" Finn shouted at the front desk.
When the stretcher arrived, Julien placed Sydney on it.
A nurse also came up and sat beside Sydney for a simple examination while the other medical staff pushed the stretcher to the emergency room.
Julien followed beside them. His eyes remained locked on Sydney's form until the ER door was closed.
Meanwhile, in a VIP ward, Mrs. Madden held a thermos and entered to see Lyra sitting on the hospital bed with her head down, not reacting to anything. Mrs. Madden put down the thermos and said," Lyra, let me tell you some good news."
Lyra did not respond. She was emotionless and dull like a puppet who had lost its soul.
