Chapter 514

Julian sighed.

He had long known that Vans and Nina would eventually end up like this, but he hadn’t expected it to happen so soon.

He sighed again. “If you really don’t want to get engaged, I can help you.”

“Don’t be naive, Julian. You can help me once, but you cant help me forever,” Vans said with a bitter smile, the helplessness in his voice evident. “I’m well aware of my situation. I’m not as capable as you.

The best way for me is just quietly to follow along.”

“That’s a pity.”

After all, this was Van’s life, and his family was different from Julian’s. Julian knew that everyone in this circle had their own difficulties and powerlessness, so he didn’t push the matter any further.

“What is?”

“It’s a pity I just rented the unit next door for you, hoping you could keep an eye on Diana. But…” There was a hint of disappointment in Julian’s voice.

Vans was so angry that he wanted to raise his hand and hit Julian. “Things are already like this, and you’re still thinking about the rent! What, are you actually unhappy about the little amount you have to pay?!”

What a man! He actually valued lust over friendship!

As their voices gradually faded away, Diana slowly opened her eyes.

She had barely caught the tail-end of their conversation.

Julian mentioned he had rented the unit next to hers for Vans to keep an eye on her…

To keep an eye on her for what?

Was he afraid she would harm Kayla?

Vans was dating Nina; despite that, he got engaged to another woman…

And he hadn’t seemed to have any objections at all!

Nina was right. People in the upper circle were all the same!

Even though Vans had helped her so much, he was ultimately Julian’s friend and one of Julian’s men.

Yet, to Diana…

She had actually considered Vans to be a friend.

But… Not anymore!

As for Julian…

He was reluctant to let Kayla leave his sight even for even a second, huh?

Diana thought he might be by her side when she woke up…

But he wasn’t.

Reality slapped her hard in the face once again.

The only one he was willing to stay by was Kayla.

Thinking about what Kayla had said just now, it made perfect sense.

Diana was also pathetic.

Julian had been shuffling back and forth in the hospital for the past six months. It seemed that ever since Kayla came back, people were constantly going in and out of the hospital by his side.

Every time, Diana would be affected.

She had suffered much to stay by his side.

Julian’s brows were slightly furrowed, showing a hint of impatience that wasn’t like his ordinary self.

When Kayla looked up and saw him, her heart skipped a beat.

“Julian…”

She feared that Julian would find out about the grave-digging incident.

However, her heart fluttered when she remembered that his first concern when they were in the apartment was her safety.

She smiled at him, looking seemingly innocent and pure just like before; however, there was a touch of sadness in her eyes. She quickly hid the mirror in her hand under the blanket, revealing only half of her face to Julian. Her voice was creaky and hoarse, as if it hadn’t been used for a long time.

“You’re here.”

Appearance, voice…

She had indeed lost a lot compared to before.

Julian felt a pang of sympathy for her, but he steeled himself as he asked,” Have you interacted with Diana recently?”

Kayla’s heart skipped a beat once more.

At the same time, she realized that Diana hadn’t woken up yet and Julian still didn’t know about the grave-digging incident.

With that thought in mind, her courage grew, and she shook her head. “No.

I don’t know why she acted the way she did, either.”
