Chapter 1003

“But…”

He looked down, and pulled the sheets over his body.

“Without you around, there was no one to help me on the wheelchair.”

He had no way of leaving the room and checking things out without his wheelchair.

“I’m really useless,” he said, looking at Diana with a bitter smile. “I’m no different from an invalid now, aren’t I?”

It had been many days since he got into that car accident. He had never looked so heavy-hearted and sorrowful because of his injured legs.

Yet right now, he was upset with his disability for Diana’s sake.

Sorrow spread in Diana’s heart. The love Simon felt for her, his entire life, and his aspirations weighed upon her.

She felt so tired.

If she could, she really wanted to bury herself in Julian’s embrace. She wanted nothing more than to hug him. One hug was enough to give her the courage to go on.

Alas, she no longer had a right to that.

She was the one who lost her right to hug him.

She had mistreated him.

That was why he agreed to getting engaged with Cecilia. Whether or not he had done it out of spite, the engagement was set in stone.

The thought made Diana’s heart throb with pain.

It wasn’t because she lost her lover, but because of the hurt she caused Julian when she treated Simon at the expense of neglecting him.

Diana comforted Simon, forcing herself to smile. “No, you’re not. You’ll definitely recover. When you can walk again, I’ll accompany you to do anything you want.”

Joy filled Simon’s eyes. “Really?”

Diana nodded. In an attempt to cover up the gaping hole in her heart, she kept on smiling. “Of course.”

Julian stood at the door, looking at the smile on Diana’s face. Her words rang in his head.

“When you can walk again, I’ll accompany you to do anything you want.”

Hah.

She didn’t love him a single bit! She even gave Cecilia and him her blessings!

Hah.

Well, he would give them his blessings too!

Julian wanted to push the door open and tell her that Shiloh was coming, and ask her whether she wanted to regain her memories—but he stopped.

If she really wanted to regain her memories, he wouldn’t need to keep asking her about it.

Shiloh soon arrived at Collina Villa.

Layla brought him in to Julian, who greeted him. “Mr. Stewart.”

After Shiloh called the police to arrest Kiki, Julian was able to treat Shiloh and Kiki as two separate entities. He respected Shiloh very much.

“I should be the one visiting you, but because I have a patient at home to take care of, it’s inconvenient for me to leave the house.”

His deep, velvety voice was smooth and rich like coffee-a pleasant treat for the ears.

Diana heard his voice, and subconsciously looked up.

There was no one outside the room.

He never came.

He didn’t even send someone to ask about her condition.

Disappointment flashed past her eyes; Simon caught that brief, passing look. He suddenly pointed at the dishes before him.

“Diana, I want some food.”

“Sure, sure,” Diana said. She immediately snapped back to attention, and quickly served Simon some food.

Julian had left the corridor, and brought Shiloh to the second floor.

“I’ve already told you about Cecilia’s condition over the phone. Her condition has something to do with the troubles in her heart. I will need your help to diagnose her condition and come up with a specific treatment plan.”

Shiloh stopped in his tracks. “I understand Ms. Jarvis’s condition.”

He looked around the villa.

“Where is Ms. Winnington? I’ve been waiting to meet her since our last conversation. Why don’t I see her here today?”

“She won’t be coming,” Julian said firmly. “Forget about the medicine.”

He thought about the scene he witnessed at the door just now, and recalled Diana saying that she would accompany Simon to do anything he wanted.

He sneered. “She probably doesn’t want to regain her memories.”

Their shared past was probably insignificant to her!
