Chapter 1208
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Sue didnât expect Diana to stay still and not dodge her attack.
Dianaâs skin was fair. The blood trickling down from her forehead was like a flower blooming brightly against pure white paper.
It was a shocking sight.
Sue was about to ask Diana something, when she saw her husband bring a man into the house.
The man stood tall, almost as tall as Julian. Yet, his facial features were strikingly different from Julian. Julian had a more reserved and dignified aura, whereas his was more bold and striking.
His deep-set eyes and long eyelashes made him more exquisite than a woman.
However, he had the wit and suaveness common to men.
His suit enhanced his handsome, intellectual vibe. The sleeves were buttoned up neatly, and the white shirt accentuated his broad shoulders. He wore a woolen vest, and sported a pair of elegant boots.
His aura and sharp facial features implied him to be of mixed-race lineage.
Sue immediately knew who he was, and subconsciously glanced at Diana with a subtle change in her expression.
She didnât like Diana and wanted to teach Diana a lesson, but she never really wanted the latter to die.
Instinctively, she wanted to alert Diana and send her out of the manor.
Unfortunately, she was too late.
The man beat Sue to it. He reached his arm out to Diana and said, âYour forehead is injured. I have a first-aid kit with me. Let me treat your wound.â
His expression changed slightly, and he added firmly, âNo, donât move. Please pardon my offense.â
With that, he suddenly carried Diana in his arms. When everyone looked at him in shock, he said, âYouâre pregnant.
Your pulse is very weak, and you need rest.â
Diana was stunned. She didnât expect this man before her to be a doctor. He was able to sense her pulse just by a mere touch of her wrist.
Having experienced some pain in her abdomen, she didnât dare to move, especially now that she had chanced upon a savior.
This man was focused on her pregnant stomach even while carrying her. It was clear he had no intention of crossing the line with her. There was no reason for Diana to think that he harbored filthy intentions.
If he hadnât pulled Diana up from the floor, she might not even stand a chance of keeping her babies. In the future, she and Julian must thank him.
While Diana was immersed in her thoughts, the man glanced at Sue. âMrs.
Jarvis, you wonât mind if I take this lady away from your place, will you?â
What could Sue say?
She could only tell him that she didnât mind.
Everything was happening beyond her expectations.
Strictly speaking, Jim Hughes wasnât a doctor. Although he had outstanding medical skills and knowledge, he never treated or saved anyone. He was only concerned with pharmaceutical research and development.
He was a professor at a university, and would mentor two research students every year. He was seen as a young and highly respected figure in society.
Butâ¦
The pill Diana once tookâ¦
Sue learned by chance that it had come from Jim Hughes.
Shiloh and Jimâs fathers studied under the same mentor; one happened to be skilled in medical treatment, while the other in pharmacy.
In the past, Sue told Diana not to trust Shiloh too much precisely because their fathers were peers of the same teacher. It wasnât possible for Shiloh not to realize anything after seeing the pill.
Yet, he never said anything to Diana. All he did was concoct an antidote for Diana to release her trapped memories.
Sue herself couldnât figure out what exactly these people were upto.
