Chapter 1195

What first caught Julian’s attention was not the surveillance footage.

Regardless of whether the surveillance had captured Enzo’s violence, he wouldn’t let that man off easily!

But this pill… Julian’s mind lit up with a spark of recognition.

He looked at Winnie and asked, “Who gave you this?”

How could it be identical to the pill Matt Hughes had tried to give Diana before?

Sean and Betty sensed that something was amiss before returning to the hospital room.

Betty tugged on Diana’s hand, and pointed down the corridor. “Mommy, why are there so many people standing there?

They all look very strong, and they’re wearing matching black clothes.”

“It’s nothing,” Diana tried to reassure the children, fearing they would be scared. “Daddy sent them here to protect us.”

She was worried the children might run around, so she added, “For the next little while, don’t go anywhere. Just stay in the hospital room with Mommy, okay?”

Betty suddenly became nervous, her little face scrunching up as she clutched Diana’s hand. She asked in shock, “Is someone trying to kill us?”

Diana hesitated. “Well, not really.”

She didn’t want her daughter to have wild imaginations, so she held Betty and sat her daughter on her hospital bed.

“Be a good girl and sit here. As long as we stay inside, no one will harm us.”

Betty grew a little scared. She nodded, and said, “Okay, Mommy. I won’t go anywhere.”

She hugged Diana’s waist tightly, and asked with sparkling eyes, “Mommy, am I squishing my little siblings if I do this?”

“It’s fine,” Diana reassured her, hugging her daughter even tighter. “They’re not that fragile.”

Betty was now at ease. She held Diana tightly, and didn’t want to let go.

Sean, on the other hand, remained composed.

He looked at Diana, and asked, “Mommy, where did Daddy go?”

Since so many people had come to protect them, and Diana didn’t allow them to leave the room, it was evident something had gone wrong.

Where was Julian? Where did he go when they needed him?

Diana noticed Sean’s discomfort, and quickly explained things on Julian’s behalf. “Something’s going on at home, and Daddy went to take care of it.”

She couldn’t tell him that the old man next door, who had given Sean and his little sister candies during the new year’s eve, had passed away.

Diana was afraid of scaring the children. So she downplayed it and said, “Sean, you mustn’t go outside and wander around, okay?”

Sean nodded. He was always obedient.

Compared to Sean, Diana was more concerned about Betty. She was easily swayed by people and needed closer supervision.

Despite all precautions, she couldn’t prevent what happened next.

After night fell, Diana went to the bathroom. When she came out, she realized that Betty, who had been on the hospital bed all this time, was nowhere to be seen!

She felt a sudden panic rising within her. Her heart raced, as if it might leap out of her chest at any moment.

She called out Betty’s name loudly, but there was no response-not even from the security guards in the corridor.

None of them had seen Betty leave.

If no one had seen Betty leave, then how had she disappeared?

Diana was frantic. Her mind was racing, and she turned to Sean.

“Sean, have you seen your sister?”

He had been sitting on the sofa outside. If Betty had entered or left the room, Sean would surely have noticed.

But Sean shook his head.

“No,” he said, frowning. “I haven’t seen her.”

He had been sitting here for quite some time, and hadn’t seen Betty leave at al
