Chapter 625
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Diana burst out laughing. âSo Grandmaâs been a big fat liar since a long time ago!â
âYeah, she really is a big fat liar.â
She told them sheâd live to be a hundred years old.
Yet, she left them so suddenly.
Both of them remained silent for a long while.
It was only until daybreak that Diana finally said, âIâll go and keep Grandmaâs ashes. Weâll bury her with Grandpa after youâre discharged and recovered.â
Since she didnât want a funeral, the two of them would send her off quietly.
âOkay.â Julian nodded, âIf you feel tired, let Noel handle it.â
âNo need,â Diana insisted, âI want to do it myself.â
This was one of the few things that she could do for Grandma.
Julian knew what was in her heart, and understood that the guilt she was feeling needed time to dissipate. âAfter going to the crematorium, remember to have your dinner on time.â
âOkay, I will.â
When she returned from the task, it was obvious that Diana had cried up a storm.
Her eyes were even more swollen than they were last night.
It was highly likely that she didnât have any appetite for dinner.
The sight of Dianaâs sorrowful figure made Julian so anxious that he threatened to remove his IV drip unless he saw her eat something.
A day passed amidst the emotional turmoil.
After eating something, Diana felt her energy return to her.
âAre you going back to the villa tonight?â Julian asked.
He added, âYou can ask Nina over to keep you company.â
âNo need,â Diana said. âIâll stay here with you.â
She knew she would only let her imagination run wild if she were to return to the villa. âNinaâs busy with work, and she usually needs to work on-site at night. I shouldnât keep bothering her.â
More importantly, if Nina were to see her covered in wounds, her heart would certainly ache as much as Julianâs.
Diana didnât want to see her good friend sad for her.
Over the past few days, she had been using her being busy at the hospital as an excuse to stop Nina from coming to visit her.
Julian respected her decision. âNoel.â
He instructed, âPlease prepare a bed for Diana.â
Very soon, Noel came back in with some workers.
The bed in the ward was quickly switched out for a large Simmons bed that was neither too soft nor hard. Diana used the same brand of mattress in the villa, and it was probably easier for her to get used to sleeping on this.
Thankfully, the VIP ward was large enough to fit both beds.
However, Diana found it too exaggerated.
When she stood along the corridor just now, she could feel the envious stares from all the nurses. She could even hear them whispering amongst themselves about how she was Mrs. Fulcher, the one whom Mr. Fulcher doted to the heavens!
What Mrs. Fulcher? She was currently ex-Mrs. Fulcher.
Still, she didnât want to correct them. It would seem so petty of her.
She could only flee back to the ward with her head bowed down low, deeply embarrassed.
She looked at Noel and Julian, who were making things even more exaggerated.
The moment she pushed the door and walked through it, she heard Julian say, âYes, I want it in pink.â
She looked upâ¦and was utterly stunned.
