Semua Bab Julian’s Stand-In Wife: Bab 1211 - Bab 1220

Julian was shocked. “Why do you think that way?!”“Because just now, my father chose to first save my sister without any hesitation. Once again, he gave up on his son when he had to choose between his two children.” Sean spoke just like an adult, his logic impeccable. His eyes didn’t seem to belong to that of a three-year-old child. They had a strange calm Julian didn’t expect of him.Sean placed the pill at the corner of Julian’s mouth. “Eat this.”Julian was about to open his mouth, when he heard Sean say indifferently, “It’s poison.”Julian was shocked. “You want to poison your daddy to death? Did Enzo Jennings give you this?”Sean nodded, and then shook his head. “He gave it to me, but I don’t actually want you dead. But I don’t want Mommy dead, either,” Sean said, looking at Julian. “I thought you’d be able to defeat Enzo when you came. I didn’t expect you to be carried in and end up curled like a ball on the floor. Now that Betty’s free, it seems we both don’t stand a

“Someone will be coming to save us soon,” Julian said. Now that it was just them and no Betty, things were easier to handle.He instructed Sean, “Gather those syringes, and give them to the police when they come.”The more Sean thought about it, the more he felt that he had been immature. Everyone said he was an intelligent kid; but at that moment, he didn’t think he was as intelligent as they claimed. No father would come in unprepared when dealing with a child in dangerous situations, especially a father like Julian. He was used to arranging and commanding everything.He seemed to have come alone just now. In truth, he had planned everything out with the goal of bringing Jennings Pharmaceutical Co. down.Enzo had hurt Sean too much.“I’ll take revenge for you,” Julian said. He glanced at the wounds inflicted on Sean, not bearing to look a second time. “I’ll make Enzo Jennings pay a price far worse than physical pain.”Sean didn’t care about that. He was more concerned about J

He was even helping her call Enzo. “Don’t panic,” Jim comforted Diana. “Your children and husband will be fine.”He even switched the phone to loudspeaker so Diana could hear his conversation with Enzo. “Enzo,” Jim said into the phone.The moment the arrogant Enzo got Jim’s call, he immediately bowed and replied respectfully. His hair stood on end; he was alert and ready to receive his commands. “I’m right here, Professor Hughes. How can I be of service?”“Release Mr. Fulcher and his children. I don’t want any mishap,” Jim said. He turned to Diana and said in a polite, almost distant manner, “Do you have anything else to add?”Diana was already very grateful to him, so she didn’t see the need to raise any further requests. She was now certain that Jim and Enzo weren’t in cahoots.“As long as they come back safely to me,” Diana said, knowing that she was unable to bear the loss of her loved ones.Jim nodded. “Okay.”Enzo’s voice turned a pitch higher. “But… But…”“But what?”

Recently, Julian had consumed many unknown pills. He didn't want to take any more of these mysterious substances of unknown origin. He was about to open his mouth to spit the pill out, but Diana's gaze stopped him. She regarded Jim as a savior—to the point she treated every medicine he gave as a panacea, regardless of its name or ingredients. Diana wasn't usually so irrational; she used to look into even the ingredients in her skincare products. After becoming pregnant, her understanding of various components had reached an almost unbearable level. But now, regarding the pills Jim was urging Julian to take, she didn't ask a single question.Jim's fingers had already landed on Julian's arm, adopting a professional pulse-checking posture. Julian had spent a considerable amount of time lying in bed, watching Diana bustle around him. Back then, when Shiloh checked his pulse, it was the same. He liked to use a single finger for diagnosis, too. Every time he examined Julian, he wo

Diana leaned against Julian’s chest, gasping for breath. Her small face was flushed from exhaustion. Julian feared hurting her with too much movement, so he quickly resumed massaging her to relax her muscles.Diana lay half-reclined on the bed, comfortably enjoying the fruits placed within her reach."Is your knee hurting?" Julian asked.He originally hesitated to bring up the topic, but he couldn't hold back. "In the future, don't kneel for anyone. If I'm not around, let Noel handle things. If Noel can't handle it, just leave it be. You can't continue to neglect yourself like this."He held her knee, gently moving it back and forth. What Diana had suffered in the Jarvises’ residence was nothing compared to the emotional turmoil she was experiencing now.A spark of defiance lit up in her eyes. In Julian's presence, she was undoubtedly the boss, and she adopted a commanding tone. "What are you implying? Should I just ignore you if you get into trouble in the future? Am I that
