Chapter 613

“Don’t worry,” Oliver reassured Diana, but the clenching feeling in his heart tightened even more.

Staying in front of her any longer would drill a big hole in his heart.

Oliver desperately warned himself not to cross boundaries again in her current relationship, as it wouldn’t benefit her in any way.

Causing trouble for someone he liked wasn’t his style.

Diana knew that Oliver was a man of his word. Since he had given his word, there shouldn’t be any further complications.

“Okay.”

After all, Simon was his younger brother.

She trusted Oliver.

Moreover, he was right.

It was virtually impossible for an ordinary person to do anything to Julian.

“I was overthinking.” She belatedly realized that her behavior in front of Oliver had been exaggerated, even surpassing her previous actions with Julian in the hospital.

Fortunately, Oliver didn’t seem to notice anything unusual and instead said, “Go back quickly. I’ll meet with Simon again.”

Even when he knew she was simply being paranoid, he still did things to give her peace of mind.

His tenderness was always refreshing and soothing, subtly calming all her anxieties.

“No need to thank me,” Oliver said before Diana had a chance to speak.

This time, he selfishly wanted to make her hold onto the unspoken gratitude in her heart and keep it as a reminder of his presence.

Rarely did he reveal his ruthlessness in front of Diana, and she was caught slightly off guard at the abrupt change in his tone. She only returned to her senses after he had left, and she pondered on her thoughts as she made her way back to the ward.

Julian visibly relaxed when he saw her enter the room, relieved of an unknown worry.

She caught this sudden relaxation in his demeanor and couldn’t help but jest, “I only went to see someone off. Were you afraid I’d run away?”

Julian dismissed her teasing and replied, “The person you were seeing off wasn’t any ordinary man. It was Oliver, my love rival.”

“He already said he doesn’t like me anymore.”

Julian was shocked. “Did he say that to you?”

Diana stood before him, checked his IV drip, and looked at the blanket on his body, making sure everything was in good order before she looked up at Julian and replied, “Yeah.”

However, she understood.

Oliver had always been considerate of others. By now, he must have noticed the tendency for her and Julian to get back together, so he decided not to interfere anymore.

He might say he didn’t like her, but deep down…

He must be hurting.

As for whether he could genuinely stop liking her, that remained to be seen.

However, Julian now felt indignant on behalf of Diana.

“I knew it! Oliver had no taste! He’s always been like that. How could he stop liking you after he said so, just like that?”

Diana was a wonderful woman.

The best in the world!

How could Oliver not like her?

Diana sensed Julian’s strange train of thought and laughed inwardly, but outwardly, she complained, “Not only that. Just outside the ward earlier, he even glared at me.”

Although her tone was playful, the small hint of genuine disappointment in it was difficult to conceal.

Julian became even angrier at that. “He dared to glare at you?!’

Diana nodded, sounding even more upset. “Yeah, he did. He was acting completely different from before.”

Did it sound like she was a bit nostalgic for the old and gentle Oliver?

Julian’s heart tightened, and his gaze immediately sharpened. He grabbed the hem of Diana’s clothes and asked, “Is it that you can’t bear to let him go?”

At this point, he was still concerned about her well-being and didn’t grab her wrist.

Diana looked at the creases on her clothes caused by his tight grip, and felt a sweet sensation in her heart.

She responded teasingly, “Hmm… Yes, I think so.”

Without warning, Julian suddenly sat up from the hospital bed, ignoring the slight pulling of his IV drip that was still attached to him.
