Chapter 1548
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Oliver would never let her go.
âFanny Smith, donât even think about leaving me in this life!â That was when Diana and Julian hurriedly made their way. Sean located Oliver very accurately. Diana saw the scene unfolding before her, and couldnât help but recall everything that happened in Jacroaof. She hurriedly told Noel to take Sean outside and wait.
She couldnât afford to gamble on Seanâs safety. She didnât want Sean exposed to any form of danger right under her nose.
Her actions made Oliver tense.
âDiana, do you think Iâve gone mad?â He grabbed Fannyâs hand, as if he was holding onto the most precious treasure in the world.
Diana didnât answer him, but she threw her bag that Julian was helping her carry toward Fanny.
She was exerting so much force for a pregnant lady, looking as if she wanted to fight with Fanny.
Even Julian didnât know what Diana was trying to do, not to mention Fanny herself.
By the time he snapped back to attention and wanted to stop Diana from doing something dangerous, it was too late.
Dianaâs bag hit Fanny with a thud.
No.Jt hit Oliver.
Dianaâs bag was so heavy, it managed to injure Oliver.
Very soon, blood started flowing from his forehead and down his face. The smell of blood filled the place as the blood dropped onto Fannyâs fingers. It reminded her of that rainy night, when she saw life being drained out of her.
She suddenly couldnât hold herself back any longer.
The pain and hurt she buried deep in her heart burst forth like a storm.
Yet when she saw the wound on his forehead, the storm inside her vanished in an instant, and she asked, âDoes it hurt?â
That was when she realized even her voice was shaking.
It clearly hurt badly, but Oliver didnât want her to be worried.â No, it doesnât.â
He smiled at Fanny to reassure her. âAre you all right?â
They only had eyes for each other, not even bothering to blame Diana for what she did.
Julian suddenly understood why Diana did what she did.
He drew close to Diana.
She was all spent of her energy; she leaned against Julian, looking tenderly and apologetically at Oliver and Fanny.
âIâm sorry,â she said, âI did that on purpose.â
Oliver and Fanny were both dumbfounded.
They had never heard such a unique apology before.
However, Fanny wanted to see Diana. In fact, she told Marcus to bring Diana here. She looked at Diana and said,â Itâs alright. Iâm not the one in pain, anyway.â
Her words swept away the tenderness and concern Oliver and her had just shown each other. His eyes turned cold.
Diana sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly tried to smooth things over. âYou two clearly care for each other. Donât hurt each other with that tone.â
She said to Fanny, âFanny, Iâm glad that youâre still alive.â
Her words were like a whip lashing against Oliverâs face.
He was indeed in the wrong for fabricating Fannyâs death. Dianaâs words reminded him of that once again, and he felt embarrassed.
Fanny saw Oliverâs expression, and smiled at Diana. So much had happened between them, she had no words to describe the gratitude and joy in her heart.
She said sarcastically to Oliver, âDianaâs right here. Would you dare say that you like me, and that you donât want to leave me while still harboring feelings for her?â
