My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 226 Drenched All Over

"Tell me, why would I call Julien here?" Sydney was toying with the feather duster as she asked in a cold tone.

Velma had her hand against her waist. "What else could it be? You must be trying to get Julien back."

Sydney laughed. "Based on what you're saying, if he comes just because I ask him to, then he must still have feelings for me, right?”

"What nonsense! Julien has feelings for you? That's just your wishful thinking. Julien never loved you." Velma looked at Sydney with mockery.

Sydney turned her gaze away in disdain. "If that’s the case, how can I get him to come over?"

"You..." Velma was at loss for words.

She quickly adjusted herself and straightened her back before continuing, "Who knew what methods you used to get Julien here."

"A bunch of nonsense." Sydney dangerously narrowed her eyes. "Let me tell you now, Velma Wilkins. If you continue to spout nonsense, I’ll use the toilet brush on you."

"You... You dare?" Velma widened her eyes.

Sydney sneered. "Let’s see."

Velma subconsciously took a step backward.

However, she did it too quickly and her left foot stepped on her right. She lost her balance and fell to the ground. It was a hard fall and she was screaming in pain.

"Mom!” Jayden quickly went to help her up.

Velma rubbed her behind as she stood up.

Sydney said, "Serve you right."

"You..."

"Shut up! You came here in the morning and pointed at me for causing Julien's accident. Who do you take me for?" Sydney sneered at her. "Get out of my house right now, or I'll make you look worse."

"What else can you do?" Velma did not take Sydney seriously. She pushed Jayden aside and shouted at Sydney.

"If you don't give me a clear explanation about what happened to Julien, I will not leave!"

"Mom..." Jayden was embarrassed. "Stop it..."

"Don't interfere with my matters!" Velma glared at him.

Sydney was so mad that she laughed. "Fine. Since you refuse to leave, then don't regret it."

Sydney turned around and walked into the house.

Jayden knew that this was a bad sign and asked," Sydney, what are you doing?"

Sydney ignored him. She walked to the bathroom and took a bucket of water. She then threw the water right at Velma's face.

Velma did not expect Sydney's sudden attack at all. Her expression changed, and she did not even have time to dodge. The water splashed right on her and she was instantly drenched.

She wiped the water off her face and saw that there were colors on her palm. She knew that all her makeup must have been ruined. She screamed in horror.

Jayden wanted to comfort her, but he suddenly decided not to do so. He lowered his head in embarrassment.

He did not want to admit that the madwoman who stood in front of him right now was his mother.

Sydney saw Velma’s pathetic state and a smug smile appeared on her face. "I told you. If you refuse to leave, I will only make you look worse."

Velma took her hands off her face and revealed the face full of wrinkles and spots underneath. She glared at Sydney and said in a vicious tone, "You wait for it. I’ll never let you off!"

After saying that, she turned around and walked angrily toward the elevator.

Jayden looked at his mother and then at Sydney. He seemed as though he wanted to say something.

Sydney could not be bothered and closed the door immediately.

Jayden was disappointed. He looked at the closed food and swallowed his words. He then followed after Velma. He wanted to comfort his mother and return to the basketball team quickly.

In the living room, Sydney placed the bucket on the coffee table and reached for her phone. She called Old Madam Flint.

She was not at all worried about Julien, but she was worried about his grandmother instead.

Between Julien and Jayden, Old Madam Flint had always been more biased toward Julien. Now that something had happened to Julien, she must be worried sick.

Very quickly, the call got through. Old Madam Flint’s tired voice said, "Syd, did you miss me?"

"Yes." Sydney’s expression softened and she asked in concern, "Grandma, are you alright?”

Old Madam Flint knew what she was asking about. She smiled and replied, "I’m fine.”

"But your voice sounded so tired..." Sydney was still worried.

Old Madam Flint glanced at her grandson, who was still unconscious on the bed. She sighed and said," Don't worry, Syd. I just need some rest and I'll be fine."

Something happened to Julien, so how could she rest?

She had been here since last night, and she had not shut her eyes even once.

"I see." Old Madam Flint did not seem to be lying, and Sydney felt more reassured.

Sydney advised, "Grandma, I know that you must be worried about Julien, but you still have to get some rest. You must take care of yourself too."

Old Madam Flint smiled and replied, "I know. When Julien wakes up, I’ll go get a rest.”

"Julien isn't awake yet?" Sydney raised her eyebrow.

The accident last night happened around 11 pm, and it had been nine hours since then. He was still unconscious?

He must be severely injured.

Old Madam Flint shook her head. "Not yet. The doctor said he injured some of his internal organs and his head, so he won't regain consciousness any time soon. Syd, do you want to come and visit Julien?"

"I don't think that’s a good idea, Grandma." Sydney lowered her eyes and softly rejected the offer. "Julien and I divorced long ago, so I'm not in a position to visit him." "It's alright, then," Old Madam Flint sighed and said in disappointment.

Sydney exchanged a few more words with her and hung up.

When she left her apartment, it was already 9 am.

Just as Sydney drove out of the parking lot and she drove past the West lane, she slowed down the car speed and looked out the window.

This was where the accident occurred yesterday night. The place had been cleared, and there was no trace of an accident.

Until now, she had no idea why Julien would appear in this place. Could it have anything to do with her?

Sydney smiled, put on her sunshades, and picked up her speed.

In the hospital.

Old Madam Flint was next to the bed. She had a cup in her hand, and she wiped Julien's dry lips with a wet cotton ball.

Someone knocked on the door all of a sudden. She said, "Come in." before looking at who it was.

The door opened and Lyra walked in with a bouquet of lilies. When she saw Old Madam Flint, Lyra was shocked and she said timidly, "Old Madam Flint, you're here as well."

Old Madam Flint frowned in disdain.

She never liked Lyra. She could not stand how Lyra always looked timid and how she was always whimpering, as though someone bullied her.

In her opinion, Lyra could not even be compared to Sydney’s finger. She had no idea what Julien liked about Lyra.

Old Madam FLint gave Lyra a sideways glance and said, "My grandson got into an accident. Where should I be if not here?"

"No, I don't mean it that way. I'm just surprised that you’re here to take care of Julien instead of resting at home despite your old age." Lyra suppressed her anger and tried to explain.

If she knew that the old lady was here, she would have come later.

This old lady never treated her well. One day when she became Julien's wife, she must torture this old lady and make her regret her attitude today.

Old Madam Flint placed the cup on the bed frame. " Are those flowers for Julien?"

Lyra looked at the lilies in her hands and nodded with a smile. “Yes. I don’t know what flowers Julien likes, so I bought some lilies."

"Wait, you don't know what flowers Julien likes?" Old Madam Flint narrowed her eyes.
