Once a Doormat Now Untouchable (Caleb and Sydney) novel Chapter 310

Chapter 310

There was no arrogance in his tone, only gratitude.

When Theodore heard James’ words, he quickly added, “Why don’t you add each other on WhatsApp? That way, it’ll be easier to discuss your mother’s condition later.

Sydney didn’t mind. She glanced at James.

He usually disliked adding strangers to his contacts, but since things had reached this point, he took out his phone and said politely, “Ms. Wilson, you don’t mind, do you?”

Sydney smiled. “Of course not.

After they exchanged contacts, she met Alan’s eyes, pressed her lips together, and said, “Then we’ll take our leave. Mr. Hutton, once everything’s settled, you can contact me directly.”

“Ms. Wilson.” Florence gripped the wheelchair’s armrests and asked, “Did you grow up in Jouleston?”

Her question made everyone in the room pause.

Sydney’s answer was vague. “More or less.”

She had come to Jouleston when she was five. That counted as growing up here.

James, afraid his mother might pry further, quickly interjected, “Ms. Wilson, I’ll see you out.”

“Alright.”

Sydney happened to have something she wanted to ask him. Once they stepped out of the lounge, she turned to him. “Mr. Hutton, about your mother’s legs… were they caused by a severe fall?”

She didn’t say the words “jumped from a building,” but from what she had seen, Theodore and Florence’s marriage seemed solid, and none of their four children appeared reckless. How could Florence have reached such despair?

Shock flickered in James’ eyes. Then he gave a complicated smile. “Ms. Wilson, your medical skills are remarkable. I believe even more now that you can heal my mother.

“As long as she begins to recover, rest assured, beyond what my father already promised, our family will certainly express further gratitude.”

Caleb had forbidden her from telling Julian, but he hadn’t said she couldn’t ask others. There was something she wanted to mover herself. Even if Cale din z object, she still couldn’t let Julian know.

she wanted to understand why the Starting family had adopted her and what connection they had to her parents. This was her chance.

In Brimcrest City, the Huttons’ influence was absolute. If they wanted to uncover information, they could do it easily. The question was whether they would be willing

After all, families like theirs often preferred to pay money rather than exchange favors.

James studied the young woman before him and said clearly. “You’ll take the consultation fee as usual. As for what you want investigated, I’ll help you as long as it isn’t anything immoral.”

Sydney was taken aback by his directness and generosity. She didn’t refuse again.” Thank you, Mr. Hutton.”

After she and the others left, James returned to the lounge. Florence was crying uncontrollably again.

Theodore held her shoulders and spoke softly. “Florence, I know. Whenever you see a girl about our fifth child’s age, it brings back memories. If it’s too hard for you, I’ll talk to Dr. Conton again and have him treat you personally, alright?”

“No!” Florence suddenly raised her tear-streaked face, heartbreak in her eyes. “I only want her to treat me! Theodore, don’t you think she looks so much like our fifth child?”
