“Where’s your wife? Sydney asked
“Pose has a stomach problem. She’s been admitted to the hosorall too, and needs to stay for a few days. So, don’t tell her about my accident, Theodore replied.
“What? She’s been hospitalized?” Wesley stepped forward “Why didn’t you tell me? Your grandmother would be worned sick if she knew.”
“You didn’t ask me, Theodore replied coldy
“Which hospital is she in?” Sydney asked.
“Delta Hospital.”
“Oh.” Noticing the torn divorce papers on the bedside table, Sydney picked them up. “Are you really going to get a divorce?
“Mom, please don’t tell Grandma.”

“Your father has already told me what needs to be said.” Sydney put the divorce papers into an envelope. “I know your grandmother’s not in good health, so I won’t say anything reckless.
“But since these divorce papers have been torn in half and can’t be used, you’ll have to print new ones and sign them again.”
Wesley frowned. “Sydney, what are you saying?”
Sydney turned around. “Am I wrong?” She tucked her son in as she continued, “Theo, I’m relieved that you’re okay. I still have a lot of things to do, so I’ll leave now. I’ll come see you again after I’m done.”
Ever since her relationship with Wesley turned sour, Sydney, who was a financier and currently serving as the president of a bank, had been. busy with work, not even taking weekends off.
Theodore felt a little lost. He rarely saw his mother, but he was an adult now. He couldn’t cling to her and prevent her from leaving.
“Okay. You should go ahead and finish what you need to do,” Theodore said.
Sydney nodded and stood up, holding the envelope.
“Mom, why are you taking that?” Theodore asked.
“It’s torn, isn’t it? I’ll shred it for you so no one else sees it. It wouldn’t be good if your grandmother found out,” Sydney explained.
Theodore nodded. “Alright.”
Wesley followed his wife out of their son’s hospital room, protesting,” Sydney, why are you leaving so quickly? He’s your son. You may have issues with me, but you can’t-”
“Will his injuries heal faster if I’m with him?” Sydney interrupted. “He should be left alone right now. Besides, I’m really busy.”
“Sydney, do you really not care about Theo and Rose’s situation? He’s your son. Do you want to see him suffer after making a mistake?” Wesley asked.
“He’s already made a mistake.” Sydney’s expression turned cold. ” Weren’t you the same back then? It’s useless crying over spilled milk. What’s the point?”
“Even spilled milk can still be retrieved!” Wesley’s breath became slightly labored. “You can surely see they’re perfect for each other. Don’t let one mistake that shouldn’t have happened ruin them.”
Sydney fell silent for a moment, but eventually put the envelope into her purse and coldly declared, “They brought it upon themselves. I’m leaving!”
