Chapter 1210
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
At that moment, Diana suddenly felt lost.
Jim sensed Diana feeling low and anxious through her pulse, which was becoming unsteady. He crouched and asked, âAre you worried about your husband and children?â
Diana nodded. Of course she was!
âBefore Enzo kidnapped my children, he came to our residence and smashed everything. And now, heâs using my children as leverage to force my husband to look for him all alone. Things definitely look terrible for my husband!â
Julian had undergone an operation, and almost lost his life. If Enzo really intended to harm him, Diana dreaded thinking of the outcome.
She shut her eyes in pain. Even her fingers were trembling.
What could she do? What exactly should she do now?
Having found out that this harmless professor standing before her was the man behind Enzo and that he wasnât the wicked man she thought he was, she suddenly didnât know how she could help Julian and save the twins.
Meanwhile, Julian was lying on the ground. A sharp pain shot through his chest.
âEnzo Jennings,â Julian said as he plucked out the syringe that was emptied of its contents. âYou said you wanted to beat me into a pulp, but instead of punching me, youâre using drugs?â
âYes,â Enzo admitted it blatantly with a smile. âThe Jennings make a living through pharmaceutical research and development. We naturally fall back on that in our attempt to progress.â
He patted Julianâs cheeks. âWell? Does your chest hurt? Do you feel your head spinning? Is breathing getting more difficult?â
Julian experienced all the symptoms Enzo just described. Despite that, he tried his best to remain awake and alert. He wanted to see Enzo let the twins go.
âWhere are Sean and Betty? Iâm here now, so you should send them back to my wife.â
âSure.â Enzo nodded. âBut I can only send one of them back.â
He looked at Julian, and added, âMake your choice. Iâll let one of them go once youâve decided.â
âYou clearly said youâll let both of them go!â
Julian was so infuriated, he would have punched Enzoâs shameless face if he hadnât been injected with drugs.
Now that he was drugged, however, he felt weak all over. Even his breathing was labored. He could only lay on the ground and cling to the last vestiges of his rationale, pondering the best way to ensure Sean and Bettyâs safety.
Enzo looked down at Julian. âYou can only send one of them back. Hurry up and make your choice! Otherwise, I might just change my mind and send neither of them. Iâll sell the girl to Golden Triangle and the boy to Cappybale! Hahaha!â
Enzo grinned as he thought of his plans.
Julian grabbed Enzoâs collar, glaring at him viciously with bloodshot eyes. âI dare you!â
He would never let his own children end up in such a dangerous plight.
He made his decision very quickly. âSend Betty out first!
Sean will stay.â
Sean was smart and could think on his own. If Enzo let Sean go and have Betty stay, given Seanâs personality, he would never agree to it.
Thus, Julian thought it better to let Betty leave first. In the meantime, he would continue thinking of a way to save Sean.
What Julian didnât expect was for Sean to overhear his decision the moment he made it.
âYour daddy does love this little girl more,â Tommy said, looking at Sean with pity. âHe said that if he can save only one of you, heâll let your sister leave.â
Sean was the one who had to stay.
It was all expected.
It was a decision Sean expected, just like the pain and sorrow he expected to come.
Sean looked at Betty. âHurry home.â
He buttoned up Bettyâs shirt, and instructed her, âWhen you get home, tell Mommy that Iâm in a very safe place and that Iâll be out with Daddy very soon.
Got that?â
