Chapter 1510
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Simon was doomed to be the one.
Ever since he came to Jacroaof, realized that it was very tough to fully gain Jimâs trust.
He had no choice but to try out the drug, he was ready to die.
To him, death was the most ideal outcome.
Diana would never love him her entire life.
He, on the other hand, would never be able to let go of her his entire life.
He wanted to be selfish one last time.
Simon held the blade he had prepared since long ago against Jimâs throat.
The timer on the explosives was still beeping.
Disdain flashed past Jimâs eyes.
"You betrayed me after all."
He never thought that Simon was genuine in wanting to cooperate with him.
That was why he made Simon take the drug.
"The drug I gave you wasnât the drug to be tried.It was a poison my mother concocted."
A crazed look burned in Jim's eyes.
"Simon, bring Diana back and things will still be salvageable.If you bring her back, I'll give you the antidote.You can continue living."
Simon smiled.
Ever since he took the drug that Jim gave him, he hadn't been able to talk.
Right now, he didnât feel like talking to Jim.He wanted his final words to be said to Diana.His determined eyes were clear, and Jim could sense it.
Jimâs confident expression gave way to shock.
"Simon, are you thinking of dying with me?!"
Simon didnât fear death! How could that be?! He wasn't into medical research.
What gave him the faith to face death unfazed? Jim didnât understand love.
Despite the possessiveness he had developed toward Diana and the desire to draw closer to her, he still didnât understand love.
Simon looked pitifully at Jim.
Although Diana didn't love him back, he knew what love was.
Love was self-sacrifice to the point of death, to the point of sacrificing everything.
Based on Simonâs estimations, Diana and Julian were probably at the third door.
The explosives on Jim were about to go off in ten seconds.
Julian had to carry Diana in his arms while holding Betty.
It was Challenging for him to exit the lab and avoid the impact of the explosion.
Simon pondered for a moment before letting the bodyguard he bribed leave.
"I'll give you ten seconds." He glanced at the office.
"Bring that woman with you."
He was referring to Kate.
She had visited the washroom, and didnât expect things to turn out like this when she returned.
She saw her usually dignified boss held at knife-point, with explosives tied to himself.
Everyone looked insane.
Kate instinctively knew that it wasnât safe to stay at this place, but her compassion made her want to step forward and try to help Jim.
The bodyguard didn't give her the time to do so.
He remembered Simonâs instructions, and said to Kate, "Quick, come with me."
They were physically fit, and would be able to make it if they left right away.
"Your daughter is outside waiting for you."
Kate never expected herself to have a daughter.
In her memories, she had always been a servant at the Hughes household.
Her boss treated her well, and paid her handsomely.
But...
Someone just told her that she had a daughter! Kateâs heart shook.
She subconsciously glanced at the bodyguard.
He urged, "Quick, letâs go!"
The timer on the explosives was counting down the last ten seconds.
The numbers on the clock turned from green to red.
Frightful beeping sounded across the office.
Kate followed her instincts; she ran right behind the man, all the while chanting inwardly to herself that she had a daughter.
Kate and the bodyguard rushed out of the lab as fast as they could, and managed to make it to the halfway mark within ten seconds.
