Chapter 622
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Cries resounded along the corridor.
Diana sobbed so badly, she almost fainted.
She was unable to accept that a living breathing person who was as kind and caring as Madam Fulcher would leave her so suddenly!
Even at Madam Fulcherâs most painful and torturous moment, she was more concerned with helping Diana see Julianâs heart for her.
She was more concerned with helping Diana, a fit and healthy adult, escape from the kidnappers.
She was more concerned with helping Diana get more love, and never be hurt again.
She was more concerned with ensuring that she was the only one facing the danger, at risk of all sorts of potential accidents.
Diana had been far too negligent.
She had assumed that Madam Fulcher could do anything.
At the end of the day, Madam Fulcher was just another old woman.
An old woman with underlying physical conditions, at that. Yet Diana had believed her when she claimed she was just acting, and that she wasnât in pain or suffering.
Diana was such a fool!
A huge fool!
She found herself so foolish, that even beating herself up right now wasnât enough to vent her anger at herself.
Julian yelled at her, âDiana!â
Despite that, she refused to stop.
She continued thrashing her fists at herself until her wounds were exacerbated. Yet all her efforts were unable to dispel the sorrow and guilt in her heart.
That was Madam Fulcher, the one who loved and doted on her the most!
Madam Fulcher had been the one who took the place of Dianaâs biological parents in giving her love, always thinking for her and doting on her.
She was the best grandmother in the whole world!
But because of a momentâs negligence, Diana allowed her to face everything alone in the final moments of her life.
Not just thatâ¦
Even before Grandma closed her eyes forever, she was still worried about her and Julianâs relationship problems.
Noel had mentioned that according to the doctorâs explanation, Madam Fulcher was suffering from intracranial hemorrhage. It took great willpower on her part to hold out until she made it to the hospital.
Firstly, upon hearing that Julian got stabbed, she couldnât stop herself from worrying about her grandsonâs condition despite her pain.
Madam Fulcher wanted to see for herself how he was doing.
Secondly, she couldnât stop herself from worrying about Diana and Julianâs relationship.
Without settling both issues, she couldnât rest easy.
It was only because of these two concerns weighing on her heart that she held out all the way till the end.
Before that, when they left the abandoned estate, she even joked with Noel and the rest.
Perhaps it was since then that she knew that she was on the verge of death.
People often could sense when their lives were coming to an end.
Madam Fulcher knew that no matter what the doctors and nurses did, there was nothing they could do to save her.
And so, she decided to just face it with an open heart.
But before she died, she had to see the two grandchildren she cared about most.
Thankfully, she was able to do that.
Despite the gut-wrenching pain in her chest, she managed to make it to the hospital.
She managed to personally see her grandson, who got himself so grievously injured almost to the point of death, and also her granddaughter-in-law whom she liked and cared for the minute she set her eyes on her.
She had not been Julianâs grandmother in vain.
When she was in the thick of danger, she prioritized sending Diana out to safety in order to avoid any uncontrollable risks that might occur.
The more Julian thought about it, the worse he felt.
He looked up, his eyes looking like there was a storm brewing in them. There was a solemn and cold air about him.
It told of a deep pain from losing a loved one, an agony such that it almost sucked his soul out of him.
He could only cling on tightly to Dianaâs hand to stop her from hurting herself. It seemed as if doing that was the only way to make him feel a little more alive.
When Diana finally calmed down a little, Julian suddenly said, âFrom today onwards, I donât have any other kin left in this world.â
