Once a Doormat, Now Untouchable Chapter 676
Maybe Sydney's reaction was too calm, because Jeremiah looked faintly surprised. Still, he did not rush to speak. He simply asked her to treat him first."My cough has gotten much worse lately. I'll have to trouble you to take a look.""Of course."Sydney had taken over Jeremiah's treatment partly out of respect for the Shepard family. The only reason it had paused recently was that she had been unable to reach him.After examining him, she wrote a new prescription and adjusted his treatment plan.When she finished with the day's patients, she had him lie down on the exam bed in the consultation room and began the acupuncture session.As Sydney inserted the first needle, Jeremiah showed no sign of discomfort. Instead, he struck up a casual conversation. "Dr. Wilson, what do you think of the Hutton family?""The Hutton family?"Her hand paused for a fraction of a second. She did not know why he had suddenly brought them up. Still, she resumed placing the needles and answered in

Sydney froze.Had Marcus not told her to ask Alan herself?The moment she hung up, he sold her out.She had been weighing how to bring it up, but now she abandoned that plan and followed the opening he had given her. "Mm. I've fully recovered, and it's still not that close to my due date, so I thought it would be better to go back to the clinic."Alan extended his hand. "Give me your wrist.""Okay."Sydney took his response as a sign he was already halfway convinced. She held out her hand without hesitation.The past few days of rest at home had not been in vain.Alan placed two fingers on her pulse. His expression softened slightly, but he did not yield. "Did you discuss this with Julian?"As he spoke, he tipped his chin toward the kitchen.Sydney followed his glance and saw only the man's straight back. He seemed to be washing produce. The sound of running water carried over.Her heart settled into an unexpected calm. "I didn't discuss—"Alan's expression sharpened at onc

To Sydney, Alan was both a mentor and a father.Back then, if Alan had not taken her in as his student, Julian would never have dared send her back to Eloise. She would have been cornered at every turn, and in the end, neither of them might have come through it well.Eliana understood that his respect for them came from how deeply Sydney mattered to him. That only made her happier for Sydney. With a broad smile, she said, "Alright, alright. Don't just stand there. Come inside.""Okay."Sydney looked at Alan and leaned forward, about to help him up. "Alan...""Enough." Alan cut her off at once. Bracing himself on the armrest of the rocking chair, he rose neatly on his own. "I'm still young. I'm not at the stage where I need you two helping me."He was old, yes, but he refused to admit it.Eliana could not resist replying, "Of course, of course. You're much younger than the two of them."Sydney and Julian exchanged a smile. The two elders had been married for decades, yet their r

Julian trusted Sydney. He trusted her to take care of her body first. He trusted every decision she made.Just like that, the unease in Sydney's heart eased. "Really?"She could see how much he cared about their child, which was why she had not expected him to agree so easily."What else would I do?" Julian pinched her cheek. "Demand that, before the baby is born, you give up your career, give up everything you enjoy, and stay home every day waiting to deliver? Precious, the child matters. But your freedom to live the way you want matters more."He held her gaze and stressed each word. "This is not me indulging you or making allowances. It's your right."'Freedom…' Sydney's eyes stung. She had wanted nothing more than that since she was little.She looked at the man in front of her. Sunlight cast a soft glow over him and sharpened the strong lines of his face."Okay. I understand."Julian smiled at her seriousness. "Come on. I'll go with you to see Alan.""Don't you need to go

Hearing Julian agree so easily made Raymond unexpectedly uneasy. Would Sydney even want a brother like him?Back when they could not acknowledge her, he and the family longed for the day they could. Now that the time had finally come, they found themselves at a loss.Raymond nodded. "Don't worry."Sydney had made it safely through childhood because Julian protected her. Now the two of them were inseparable. If the Huttons had not appeared out of nowhere, Julian would probably have taken her straight to City Hall by now.By any measure, the Huttons owed him prior notice. More than that, it would be best to have his consent.…In the back garden, Sydney curled into the swing and spoke on the phone.Marcus sounded as warm and pleasant as ever. He laughed softly. "You really want to go back to seeing patients at the clinic? Even if your body can handle it, I can't make that call. Alan has to approve it first.""Mm." Sydney smiled. "That's why I need you on my side first. Then I'll

Sydney nodded and did not press further.She had worried too much. Eric was not a sentimental man. With Julian involved, he was even less likely to go out of his way for Penelope. That would mean openly setting himself against Julian.A bastard son who had survived and even prospered in the Wolfen family for so many years was not foolish enough to miss that.After breakfast, Tiffany received a call from the law firm and had to leave.Sydney looked reluctant. "We finally had a chance to go shopping...""My baby." Tiffany had the vague sense that pregnancy had made Sydney more sentimental. She could not help but laugh. "I'm just meeting a client, not leaving for a long business trip. If you want to see me, just send a message."Sydney thought about it and realized the mood had come out of nowhere.In the past, Tiffany had traveled all the time. Sydney had lived alone at Haven and never felt much about it.Maybe people simply should not be too idle.Raymond rose to his feet as if

Just as Caleb opened his mouth, the elevator doors slid open. The conversation cut off abruptly, and the air inside felt stifling and heavy.Sydney silently lowered her gaze. Julian's expression mirrored hers. Caleb, unsure which of them to address, chose silence.When the elevator reached his flo

Sydney had half-expected it, but when she actually heard the words, her mind went blank. Not just her—Tiffany froze too. The truth struck like a knife straight through the heart.Caleb spoke gently, "You must have felt it. Madam Sterling has never once shown you goodwill."Goodwill? Far from it. M

The anger in Julian's chest eased slightly.After a pause, he gently brushed the thin sheen of sweat from her forehead. As he slowly pulled away, he tried to speak patiently. "Precious, you—""I can go now, right?" Sydney cut him off, her tone cold and distant. It was completely unlike the woman w

Sydney had imagined that explanation countless times before. She had even wondered if he might have a hidden reason, something too difficult to admit.But each time, she rejected the thought. During those eight years, he'd had countless chances, yet not once did he try to explain anything to her.
