Chapter 1291

Julian’s Stand-In Wife chapter 1291 Simon’s face changed.

He couldn’t bring himself to laugh.

He felt as though something was stuck in his throat, and he needed to spit it out.

However, he held himself back and said, “It’s normal having those things in a lab. Anyone involved in a drug trial has signed an agreement and is voluntarily trying out the drugs. They even get paid. There’s no need to talk about dying and souls.”

“Hmm.” Jim nodded. Suddenly, he asked, “What about newborns?”

He deliberately scared Simon, misleading the latter into the direction of a far fetched idea.

“What do you think of newborns being made into specimens?”

What did he think?!

Simon could no longer hold himself back, and rushed to the washroom to puke his guts out. By the time he returned, Jim was still on the phone.

The man was incredibly stubborn, indeed!

If he weren’t, he wouldn’t have quietly observed Diana for so many years.

At that thought, the hair on Simon’s arms stood on end in fright.

He finally said, “Pardon me, Professor Hughes. I can’t accept newborns being made into specimens.”

‘That’s alright,” Jim said kindly. “Many doctors who first started out would vomit and feel terrible when they see such things. Some even have nightmares about it, not to mention someone who isn’t well-

versed with the medical field like you.”

He added understandingly, “I’ll keep the specimens when you come over, Mr.

Channing. Please come and visit with a peace of mind.”

Simon didn’t expect Jim to be so easygoing.

Had he misunderstood the man?

Jim had merely been observing Diana over the years. He hadn’t actually done anything dangerous to her.

Even during his visit to Richburgh this time, Simon’s spy didn’t report Jim doing anything bad to Diana.

No.

That wasn’t right.

Diana was pregnant! She had babies in her stomach!

Simon’s heart turned cold at the thought of what Jim said about newborns as specimens.

Had he been wrong since the beginning?

Jim’s target had never been Diana.

It was Diana’s babies!

Otherwise, why would he bring Diana to the zoo?

Why would he give Diana so many health supplements?

Why…

Countless whys emerged in Simon’s mind and tangled up in a huge mess, magnifying the fear in his mind.

Even his fingers started trembling.

Perhaps…

Simon was the supposed uncle of the babies in Diana’s stomach.

He thought of how happy Julian and Diana looked together, and could no longer hold himself from calling Diana.

At that moment, she had been lying on the bed for a while. However, she just couldn’t fall asleep. She was originally exhausted, but somehow, she felt energetic the moment she laid down on the bed.

She was about to pull out her phone, which she had turned to silent mode, to look through her socials.

Suddenly, the door to her room was pushed open.

It was Julian.

Diana retracted her hand from under the pillow before she even managed to touch her phone. It caused her to miss Simon’s incoming call.

The call ended up unanswered.

Simon was disappointed.

Having stolen three years of Diana’s life, he didn’t want to ever bother her again, especially after seeing how happy she was at that meal. 1 Still, he wanted to contact her after thinking through things regarding Jim.

Unfortunately, Diana didn’t pick up his call.
