Besides, Sydney also had something she had hidden from Julien.
Hearing Sydney say so, Zach was instantly relieved. "Thanks for your understanding, Ms. Raines."
"It's OK." Sydney shook her head. "Take good care of Grandma there. Call me if anything comes up. If Julien wakes up, I'll let him know. I won't go home tonight."
Sydney was going to stay at Julien's apartment and take care of him tonight.
There were still more than ten hours until the next day.
Julien wouldn't sleep until the next day. What if he did something stupid after she left?
"OK, no problem. Thank you, Ms. Raines." Zach responded.
Sydney replied, "It's okay. That’s what I'm supposed to do. I promised Grandma I'd stay with Julien today.”
"Okay. I'll talk to you later, Ms. Raines.” Seeing that Felicia was moving something in the ward, Zach prepared to help her.
However, Sydney suddenly called out," Wait a minute, Zach."
Zach stopped, "What’s wrong, Ms. Raines?"
"I need you to find a psychiatrist. Julien always loses control every year on this day. I think he has a psychological problem. He has to see a psychiatrist. Otherwise, it won't be good for him to repeat this every year.” Sydney said seriously.
Sydney didn't tell Zach that Julien felt his birth had trapped his mother in the Flint family, so she couldn't chase her own happiness and eventually killed herself in despair.
Julien believed that his mother’s death was due to him. He believed he was the murderer.
But Zach and Julien's grandmother believed that the scene of Julien's mother's suicide left a shadow in his heart.
For over a decade, Julien had never told anyone that the real shadow in his heart was not that scene. Sydney wouldn't tell it out. She thought it was best for Julien to tell it himself.
When he could tell it out someday, it would mean he had let it go and that it wouldn't bother him anymore.
"Ms. Raines, I understand. I'm also aware that it's a psychological problem for Mr. Flint. It's not in Mr. Flint's best interest to leave it unresolved, but I've found a psychiatrist for Mr. Flint. Not only me but also the Old Madam have looked for a psychiatrist for Mr. Flint, but Mr. Flint always refused it." Zach had a bitter smile," Mr. Flint doesn't want to see a psychiatrist."
Sydney wasn't surprised by Zach's answer. She had expected it.
If Julien had seen a psychiatrist, the shadow in his mind would have been gone, and he wouldn't be acting like this today.
Obviously, he had never seen a psychiatrist.
"It's okay. Get a psychiatrist. I'll convince Julien." Sydney said.
Zach's eyes widened in surprise. "Ms.
Raines, what are you going to do to get Mr. Flint to see the psychiatrist?"
"If he doesn't go to see the psychiatrist, I'll break up with him." Sydney said.
Zach took a long breath and said, "That's indeed a good idea, Ms. Raines. You hit the nail on the head."
Julien was so in love with Sydney, and he had finally gotten back with her, which made Julien so happy that he always looked at Zach with mockery and pitiful eyes like the latter was a single dog.
Indeed, Zach was a single dog.
At first, when Julien looked at Zach like that, Zach thought he got it wrong, but after a few more times, he was sure he wasn't mistaken. In Julien's eyes, Zach was a single dog, because when Julien looked at Zach like that, the former's eyes were full of mockery and sympathy. He despised Zach for the latter was still single over the age of thirty.
Zach felt indignant in his mind. 'What's wrong with me being a single dog?'
'At least I didn't drive Ms. Raines away and then go through all the trouble of getting her back. Mr. Flint has no reason to contempt me.' Zach roasted in his mind, but he didn't dare show it. He acted as if he had never noticed the look in Julien's eyes.
'So this stuff is obviously from a novice who just learned how to cook.'
When Sydney started learning to cook, she wasted a lot of ingredients too, exactly like this.
So Sydney figured out who made such a mess.
Sydney emptied the trimmings into the trash can. Then she looked up at the kitchen door as if she wanted to find Julien, who was sleeping in the room because of drunkenness.
'It must be Julien!’
'But why did he ruin the ingredients?'
'Is he learning to cook?'
Sydney raised her eyebrows at the thought, and then she denied the idea.
'Maybe Julien was trying to cook on a whim. He was not serious.'
Sydney quickly forgot about it. She washed the bowl and then lifted the garbage bag to take it out.
However, when she opened the door, she was startled.
A person was at the door.
The person was sitting in a wheelchair, wearing a long black down jacket, so long that it covered the person's ankles. Sydney couldn't tell if the person was a man or a woman. The person was wrapped up completely and had a hood on the head. Sydney was startled when she bumped into such a mysterious person.
The person did not look nice.
Sydney narrowed her eyes and put her hand on the alarm button behind the door. She stared at the person and asked warily," Good afternoon. What can I do for you?"
