Once a Doormat Now Untouchable (Caleb and Sydney) novel Chapter 700

Sydney said the word "fiancé" with ease, as if they had been together for years and it was the most ordinary thing in the world.

When Julian heard it, something scratched lightly at his heart, like an unbearable itch. The corners of his mouth lifted before he realized it.

The butler noticed nothing unusual, but he understood that the man standing beside Sydney was no ordinary person. They were in no position to offend him.

"Of course." He stepped aside at once and led them upstairs.

The moment Sydney entered Jeremiah's bedroom and saw him on the bed, she frowned.

His complexion had dulled. He looked noticeably worse than the day before.

Jeremiah had not lied. His condition had indeed worsened.

The butler assumed he was asleep and spoke to wake him. "Sir, Dr. Wilson is here."

Only then did Jeremiah stir. Looking weak, he turned toward Sydney and began to push himself up, scolding the butler as he did so. "If Dr. Wilson was here, why didn't you come upstairs and tell me to go down?"

Sydney stepped forward and stopped him. "Just stay where you are. Don't make it worse."

"Sorry to trouble you, Dr. Wilson." As Jeremiah spoke, his gaze shifted to the tall man nearby. His expression changed slightly. "Mr. Sterling? Mr. Sterling... I had no idea you came as well. I've been terribly rude."

Julian remained calm, as if mildly surprised. "You know me, Mr. Clifford?"

"Of course." Jeremiah nodded, his tone filled with admiration. "At your age, with so much power already in your hands, how many people in Jouleston wouldn't know who you are?"
