Semua Bab Julian’s Stand-In Wife: Bab 1451 - Bab 1460

She opened her eyes, and smiled apologetically at him.The next moment, the smile froze on her face.Wait…Fear and doubt filled her eyes in an instant. “Professor Hughes, how did you get in here?”This was hers and Betty’s room. How could she rest easy knowing that a man could come in so easily?!“I have the room card,” Jim said. He raised the card in his hand, and glanced at another room card on Diana’s bedside table. “Since you have mine, I should take yours, too. Fair exchange is no robbery.”He smiled.Was this the way to a fair exchange? The thought sent chills down Diana’s spine.If Diana continued making excuses for Jim and thinking that he was just another normal, good person, she would truly be a fool. She wondered if the conclusion she arrived at before she fell asleep had been right after all.“Professor Hughes,” Diana said, feeling even more calm in the face of danger.Although she was just over the age of twenty, she had gone through much more compared to ordi

He wanted to return to the previous topic about Diana’s birth circumstance. He still wanted to talk about Kate.That was also something that Diana cared very much about.She fell silent immediately, and stopped talking.Jim started speaking again, “My mother was a trained medical professional too, but her work was never recognized. That was because she believed that testing out drugs on humans was necessary to concoct medicines that were truly useful.”Diana nodded. She had heard about drug trials. The late Professor Ian Lemmington’s daughter, Anna, probably died from a drug trial.Her heart started beating faster.Jim continued—this time, he threw Diana a bomb. “For example, the first memory-loss pill your mother Kate Renforth took was the same as the one you took. She’s considered the first to test out the drug, and the effects were pretty good.“But because the drug wasn’t exactly complete, her memories weren’t completely cleared like yours did. Although she forgot my mothe

Laws governed this country, after all!Diana gradually calmed down, and pushed him away. “I don’t want you touching me.”Jim wasn’t angry. He simply comforted her, saying, “Okay, I won’t touch you.”He even lifted his arms, for fear that she might misunderstand him. Seeing this, Diana realized that while Jim might harbor ill intentions toward her babies, at the very least, he had no plans of harming her yet. Diana, Betty, and her babies were safe until her babies were born. However, there was a possibility that they might be stuck in this hotel until then.Betty was still asleep. If she woke up, she might want to head out. When she realized that she couldn’t leave this city and see Julian, she’d definitely be upset. She might even cry.The thought of her daughter feeling lost and rejected made Diana’s chest constrict with sorrow. She looked at Jim, trying to figure out his ulterior motives.“My mother…” she said again, thinking of Kate. She had mixed feelings. “She doesn’t kn

Jim had pinned down Diana's hands. She lay on the pristine white bed in a posture of absolute suppression. Jim firmly restrained her hands and feet.If he hadn't reacted quickly just now, Diana might have hit the back of his head with the table lamp within her reach.This woman… Jim was speechless, not understanding why Diana would treat him this way."Have I treated you badly?"He provided her with food and drink, noticed her unhappiness in Richburgh, helped her purchase tickets to Jacroaof, and now, in order to ensure her stable pregnancy, he had even booked an entire hotel.Jim took a deep breath. He loosened his grip on Diana's hand slightly, his gaze calmly falling on her abdomen. When he spoke again, he sounded quite upset."I even told you about your background, and brought James to you."The man in front of Diana appeared sophisticated and refined. If it weren't for the disturbing and unbelievable words she heard just now, and if he wasn't currently controlling her,

Seeing Diana relax, Jim didn't pursue the matter further. "I don’t consider myself a petty person. Inviting you here is indeed to extend my hospitality."This so-called hospitality, apart from the daily food and drink, was the "gift" he had given her.Diana's background.That was the gift Jim wanted to present to her."Your mother is your real mother, but James is not your biological father." When Jim reached this point, he subconsciously glanced at Diana. She sat on the sofa quietly. She held Betty and stayed silent, like a perfect doll.Suddenly, a strange sensation struck in his heart. He couldn't express the emotion, only feeling a slight pang of sadness.It was this kind of sadness that made him say the next sentence: "But I don't know who your biological father is."James was the only one who truly knew this.In short, Diana needed to help James recover his memory first. Or rather, it seemed that she needed to keep Jim happy so he would give James the antidote.Jam
