Chapter 1214

“Have you really not compared yourself with Betty before?” Julian asked in disbelief.

He knew Sean protected Betty all the time, always standing in front of her and defending her. But how could he possibly not compare himself to her in the midst of doing so?

‘You want to be protected too, right?” Julian grabbed Sean’s hand before he stubbornly stood up to walk away.

This was the first time the father and son pair held hands after so many days.

Julian ran his fingers over each one of Sean’s.

“Daddy’s protecting you.”

His words were sudden.

Sean’s heart leaped as he suddenly realized something. When he turned back, he saw that Julian had taken the pill.

“Daddy!”

Sean panicked, all thoughts in his mind vanishing into thin air. He crouched next to Julian anxiously, trying hard to pry open his father’s mouth and make the man spit out the pill.

But Julian kept his mouth shut tight.

After ingesting the pill, he finally opened his mouth to speak. “It’s useless, Sean. I’ve eaten it.”

He seemed to have seen through Sean.

“You chose Mommy over me, but I’ve never chosen Betty over you. I’ve always wanted to protect all of you.”

It was just a pity. He was just a human being, and a human being was just too weak. In the face of these drugs and cunning schemes, he found himself unable to flee.

‘You asked me just now why I didn’t call the police,” Julian said, now ready to give Sean the correct answer. “I’ve already called the police, but I had insufficient evidence before. Now that I’ve taken the pill and you’re injured, the police who’ll soon be here will see this hard evidence. They’ll stop Enzo’s pharmaceutical company from being listed.”

Julian didn’t just want to save himself and Sean. He also wanted to make use of the hurt Enzo caused them to stop the latter from listing his company.

Otherwise, many stock buyers were going to be fleeced of their money. If that happened, many families would become bankrupt overnight.

At Julian’s level, he could very well disregard the well-being of others. But now, not only was he Sean and Betty*s father, but he was also the father of the fetus in Diana’s stomach.

Aside from putting his life at stake, Julian couldn’t think of a faster way to gather hard evidence that could stop Enzo’s pharmaceutical company from getting listed.

He had to use himself as bait, which might in turn bring blessings upon his babies in Diana’s womb.

This time, he hoped they would be delivered smoothly.

Diana wanted them so badly.

He didn’t want her experiencing the pain of losing her children once more.

The drug was very strong. It came quickly and intensely, making Julian feel like ants were biting his bones. His breathing became labored, and his chest grew heavy.

Gradually, his voice turned so weak that one had to be quiet to hear him clearly.

Sean didn’t dare to cry. He kept his hands firmly in Julian’s.

Julian continued comforting him, “Don’t be scared. I won’t die.”

Before he came here, he had instructed Noel to look for Shiloh.

By the time the police arrived to take him and Sean out of here, Shiloh would probably be waiting outside.

It would be irresponsible of Julian to die in exchange for all of these.

“Daddy,” Sean said. He didn’t believe Julian, and tears fell down his cheeks. His usual cool demeanor vanished without a trace.
