Chapter 1347
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Fannyâs manager had personally told Diana about Fannyâs pregnancy and subsequent miscarriage.
At that time, she even claimed she couldnât find Fanny, and that the latter had been taken away by Oliver.
What happened afterward? How could a miscarriage lead to losing oneâs life?!
Dianaâs thoughts grew more uneasy. She couldnât shake the feeling that this matter wasnât so simple.
Besides, Oliver lost both his wife and child simultaneously.
How could he remain so calm?
When they were sent off, he calmly and thoughtfully considered opening the car door for Diana.
âItâs because they had a child between them. Even though it was an accident, it existed nonetheless.
Oliver is even less likely to do anything to a woman who has just miscarried. Miscarriagesâ¦they can also be life-threatening,â Julian said.
Moreover, it was raining heavily last night. When Oliver took Fanny to the hospital, the weather might have delayed them. Anything could have happened during that time.
Diana wanted to argue, but when she thought about the dangers involved in a womanâs pregnancy and childbirth, she realized that anything was indeed possible.
Pregnancy⦠It sounded nice when spoken of as the hope of nurturing a family and of bearing oneâs own descendants. In reality, it was like nurturing a parasite.
From the moment of birth, a fetus continuously absorbed all the motherâs nutrients to sustain its growth.
The mother herself could be sacrificed for the sake of the fetus.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updatesâ¦
This was the essence of reproduction.
The decreasing number of women dying during childbirth in modern times was due to the progress of science and medicine, not because fetuses had become harmless.
Nonetheless, many people willingly accepted the risks of giving birth to the next generation.
Diana was one of them. She had a fear of childbirth, yet she couldnât resist the desire to have more adorable children.
âPoor Fannyâ¦â
She had automatically concluded that Fannyâs sudden death was caused by a miscarriage, just like what Julian assumed.
What exactly happened for Fanny to meet such a fate because of a miscarriage could only be explored later. Even if they asked Oliver now, he likely wouldnât be in the mood to share the details of Fannyâs incident.
Besides, it would be like rubbing salt into the wounds.
Diana couldnât bring herself to do that.
Seeing tears welling up in her eyes again, Julian couldnât quite figure out when their relationship had become so close.
Diana was visibly hurt about Fannyâs passing. Sitting in the car, her eyes would redden occasionally.
Concerned about her well-being, Julian took Dianaâs head in his hands and gently massaged her temples. He urged her to rest and relax a bit.
However, Diana still couldnât find peace. Her head in Julianâs hands kept moving restlessly.
Julian understood her. âCanât let it go, can you?â
If Diana had something on her mind, she wasnât one to easily let it go.
âI know Oliverâs character to some extent. He wouldnât lie about his wifeâs death.â
Julianâs touch seemed almost magical. Once he started massaging, Diana felt incredibly comfortable.
Her head quickly cleared up.
âYouâre right,â she said. Reminded by Julian of Oliverâs character, Diana started to see things more clearly. âOliver wouldnât joke about something like this. Heâs naturally considerate and gentle.â
