Julian’s Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 104
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Sure enough! As long as Diana lived, Julian and Kate would be swayed sooner or later. Kayla was more certain than ever; Diana had to be dealt with today, once and for all!
This was the first time Kate had given in to Diana even with Kayla around. Kaylaâs hand turned white with how hard she gripped her wine glass. She turned away in anger, but then saw Lucy waving at her from not far away to reassure her.
Thinking that Lucy had probably reapplied the poison to Dianaâs glass, Kayla felt relieved. She watched as Kate filled Dianaâs glass again, but Diana still refused to drink.
Kate also took Kaylaâs drink and poured out the wine, replacing it with juice. âYou were also injured two days ago, and you need to apply medicine to your face. For safetyâs sake, you should both drink juice.â
Lucy saw the change from afar, and her face froze instantly. She frantically gestured to Kayla, but Kayla didnât turn around and couldnât see it. Kayla was anxious to get Diana to drink, so she downed her own glass without a second thought.
As soon as Kayla finished drinking, Lucy ran over, panting and shouting in alarm, âMiss!â
Lucy hadnât applied the poison to Dianaâs glass, but had put it straight in the juice instead. Diana didnât drink it, but Kayla drank an entire glass!
As pain began to spread through Kaylaâs limbs, she started to go limp. She instantly realized what was going on when she saw the terror on Lucyâs face.
âMâMomâ¦!â
Kate rushed forward to grab Kaylaâs hand. âIâm here, Kayla! Whatâs wrong?â
Lucy quietly took a step back, but Diana noticed that her eyes were filled with worry and even maliceâ¦
The same look Kayla had when she looked at Diana!
Diana came to a quick conclusion: was Lucy Kaylaâs biological mother?!
The possibility shocked Diana. She was about to say something when Kayla wailed harshly, âAhhh! It hurts! Ahhâ¦! My throat⦠It burns!â
Lucyâs face had gone stark white. Kate was also looking at Kayla in panic, and her hands were shaking.
Only Diana, who was calm, pulled her phone out to call Oliver for a look.
âThere are signs of poisoning.â After examining Kayla, Oliver asked Diana in concern, âAre you okay?â
It felt good to be the priority of concern.
Diana hurriedly shook her head. âIâm fine.â
She glanced at the juice and said, âIt happened after she drank the juice.â
Oliver instantly understood. He took the juice and methodically arranged for Kayla to get medical attention. Diana and Kate followed the ambulance that took Kayla to the central hospital.
Kayla arrived in the nick of time and was saved, but her throat was severely damaged, and her voice would forever sound like broken glass.
Meanwhile, Oliver sent the juice for testing and revealed that there had indeed been poison in it. Had Kayla consumed a higher dose, she would have died.
Kate kept urging Diana with tears in her eyes, âCall Julian! Call him now!â
âNo need for that,â Julian replied, having rushed over. âRight after Kayla got out of her operation, she called me.â
He turned and shot Diana a stern glare. âWell, Diana? Why arenât you on your knees, begging Kayla for forgiveness?â
Diana looked up in shock, bewildered by his nonsensical words. âWhy on earth would I have to do that?â
