Talk?
Sydney pursed her lips.
She more or less knew what he wanted to talk about, but she did not think there was anything else to say.
Apart from Hunter's concealment and deception, the main reason why she broke off her friendship with him was because of his feelings for her.
Julien said that Hunter liked her.
Thus, she had been secretly observing him.
However, she could not find any traces of him liking her.
Nevertheless, Julien would not lie, so just in case, she chose to break off her friendship with Hunter.
She could not reciprocate his feelings, so it was better to just stay away from him before he told her.
That way, maybe his feelings for her would gradually fade.
The next day, Sydney was still asleep when she was awakened by a phone call.
Without opening her eyes, her hand reached out of the bed and reflexively groped around the bedside table.
When she touched her phone, she swiped the answer icon using muscle memory and brought the phone to her ear. "Who is this?"
Julien’s brows softened when he heard Sydney’s sleepy voice. "It's me."
"Julien Flint?" Sydney instantly woke up. She opened her eyes and brought the phone in front of her to look at the caller ID. It was him.
"Yes, it's me." Julien nodded. "Did I wake you up?"
Sydney bit her lower lip and did not answer.
Julien sounded a little apologetic. "Sorry. I thought you were awake.”
"What do you want?" Sydney brought the phone back to her ear and asked faintly.
Julien seemed to notice her indifference and chuckled. "I have good news. That man has been brought to Port City."
"What?" Sydney immediately sat up from the bed.
However, because her movement was too large, she accidentally pulled her lower abdomen and hissed in pain.
Julien heard it and became anxious." What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Sydney rubbed her lower abdomen. "Where's that man now?"
Julien could tell that her voice was trembling. She was still very uncomfortable, but she was unwilling to tell him what was wrong with her.
He sighed helplessly and replied, "He just arrived at Port City Station. He's being escorted to me now."
"The hospital?" Sydney frowned.
Julien hummed. "Yes. Do you want to come over?"
There was a hint of hope in his voice.
He already guessed that Sydney did not visit him of her own accord yesterday.
Old Madam Flint met her, so he figured that Sydney must have met Old Madam Flint, and the latter told the former to visit him. Otherwise, she would not come to see him at all.
Since she would not come to see him, he had to trick her into coming here.
He deliberately told his subordinates to bring the man to the hospital. That way, she would come to the hospital to see the man, and him as well.
Although this method was somewhat lowly, Julien was willing to be despicable if it meant being able to see her.
Sydney clenched her fists. "Why is he being taken to the hospital? Can’t it be somewhere else?" "No. You know that I can't leave the hospital yet. Besides, that man was caught by my subordinates, and I also have questions to ask him. You have to come to the hospital." Julien lowered his eyelids and covered the dark light in his eyes.
Sydney naturally guessed the reason why he refused to change the venue. She sneered in her heart but had no other choice.
After all, he was right. That man was caught by his subordinates.
"Fine. I'll go over later," Sydney said coldly and immediately hung up the phone.
Julien looked at the phone screen that had jumped back to the main menu, and a self-deprecating smile curled on his lips.
He never thought that he would have to use this kind of method just to meet someone one day.
