Chapter 488
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Diana didnât respond to Oliverâs words, and instead asked, âOne last thing. Could you help me find Kaylaâs address?â
After Oliver hung up, he felt anxious. Todayâs events had been sudden, and he still had many shifts at the hospital. He couldnât very well abandon his patients in need of treatment!
But⦠What if something really happened to Diana?
This wasnât a time for him to try to be a hero. Oliverâs only concern was Dianaâs safety; and so, he contacted Julian.
He was short and straight to the point. âI know what you did to me and Diana. Honestly, I donât understand your motives. Buf if you have even the slightest bit of affection left for her, please go to her immediately. She may be in danger.â
Julian was confused by Oliverâs sudden call. He didnât have a good impression of Oliver, but he didnât hang up either.
âWhat are you talking about?!â
Diana lived next door to Vans, so Julian wouldâve known about any signs of danger long before Oliver;
if there was any.
âIâm not making this up,â Oliver pressed. âItâs about Kayla!â
âDr. Channing, please hurry! Help!â
Without further delay, the call was disconnected.
What had Kayla done to Diana? Why did Oliver call him if something had happened to her? Had their relationship progressed further?
Julian didnât have time to think about those questions. Before he realized what was happening, he was already wearing his suit and sitting in the car.
âLetâs go to the apartment,â he told Noel.
Rubbing his head tiredly, he asked, âHas Kayla been acting strange lately?â
Noel shook his head. âNo, sir. Sheâs been going to work on time, and I havenât noticed anything unusual.â
Julian nodded. âLetâs head over to the apartment first.â
He didnât believe Kayla would dare do anything to Diana, but he had to make sure.
Since this matter involved Diana, Noel didnât dare delay and stepped on the gas pedal, speeding all the way to their destination.
âSir, weâre here,â he soon announced.
When Julian got out of the car and started walking, it was coincidentally in the opposite direction Diana had taken. However, he was walking slightly faster than her.
He still vividly recalled how Diana had crouched in the rain and told him she didnât want to see him or have any contact with him again. She even pushed him towards Kayla and hoped that he would marry her.
Diana must have hated him more than anything.
Julian didnât dare meet Diana in person, for fear she would misunderstand and assume he was still following her. As such, he turned to the building entrance first.
However, Diana had already locked onto his figure earlier.
The man who passed her was indeed Julian; she hadnât been mistaken. It was definitely not a hallucination, because even the Rolls Royce parked at the roadside hadnât left.
Noel was still seated in the driverâs seat. When he met her eyes, he rolled down the window and nodded respectfully at her. Compared to Mr.
Carterâs gaze, there was respect and sincerity in his eyes.
However, Diana ignored Noel.
She wasnât in a mood to deal with him.
In fact, seeing Julian actually appearing here again worsened everything. However, this also confirmed that Oliver had given her the correct address.
She had actually wandered in the same neighborhood as Kayla, and had even been that wretched womanâs neighbor for several days!
Well, well. It hadnât been strange for her to have heard Julianâs voice.
After dealing with the marriage with Diana, who was Kaylaâs substitute, Julian finally moved in with Kayla, huh?
Was he truly clueless as to what Kayla had done?!
