Chapter 726
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Diana was even more surprised when she heard Julianâs words.
After learning about Simonâs existence, she hadnât expected him to be so indifferent toward Madam Fulcherâs concealment and his parentsâ betrayal.
Regardless, she replied sincerely, âI also planned on going there.â
But considering Julianâs state of mind, she hadnât brought it up-
âLuckily, you donât mind,â she said.
Julianâs mind was filled with only her at this moment, and he didnât have time to carefully consider the deeper meaning behind her words.
Smiling, he said, âWhatâs there to mind? Itâs not the terminal illness I imagined, but rather the joyous news of a pregnancy. As long as youâre in good health, you can still go out as long as you do things in moderation.â
Diana nodded. âAs long as youâre sure..â
If he couldnât move on because of Simon and held resentment toward his grandmother and parents, that would be more heartbreaking than the sudden appearance of a younger brother.
Dianaâs cautious expression amused Julian. She had changed quite a bit since her return.
âYou donât have to care so much about my opinion,â he said, not knowing that Diana was anxious because of the situation with Simon.
He thought her current behavior was because of the previous miscarriage, which made her overly sensitive and concerned about his feelings.
âIf you want to go and share this good news with Grandma, weâll go,â he added.
He wouldnât be too harsh on Diana because of her previous miscarriage. He wouldnât treat her pregnancy like imprisonment and confine her to the house.
Then, he added, âIâll accompany you wherever you want to go.â
This time, he wouldnât stay separated from her again. He would take good care of her during her pregnancy and share the responsibility of being a parent with her.
After hearing his words, a multitude of delicate flowers bloomed in Dianaâs heart. She felt as if she had been nourished by the rain of a spring day, with everything falling perfectly into place.
She held his broad hand tightly, her thoughts no longer dwelling on the blood relation between him and Simon, nor did she ask him about his plans for handling the situation.
After all, no matter how it was handled, he would do it better than her.
With this, she no longer needed to explain what had happened on New Yearâs Eve.
However, Julianâs thoughts were different from what Diana had imagined. Until now, he still didnât know why Diana didnât return home on New Yearâs Eve.
He simply believed in her, so he didnât need her to explain.
Little did he know, leaving this matter unexplained would eventually lead to significant problems in the near future.
Kiki stood on the side, unable to integrate herself into their conversation. They seemed to ignore her when she spoke, treating her as if she were invisible.
It was a truly terrible feeling.
At the same time, it made her extremely envious.
It would be wonderful if she could replace Diana and enjoy that kind of exclusive affection with Julian. If that happened, he would even accept the baby in her belly, right?
Then she could truly enjoy pregnancy and the joy of becoming a mother, just like Diana.
When Kiki thought about how Julian had just crouched and talked to Dianaâs barely visible baby bump, claiming the babies calling him âDaddy,â she wanted to laugh.
That reserved and icy man turned out to be so tenderâ¦!
For now, she couldnât think of any way to replace Diana. Without anything to do, she could only leave the hospital and think about it slowly after returning home.
Just as Kiki left, Vans appeared with the test results. He found Julian.
Julian didnât pay much attention to Kikiâs departure, and anxiously asked Vans about Dianaâs pregnancy instead.
âHer progesterone level is low, but itâs better than I expected. It doesnât pose a risk of miscarriage, but we still canât ignore it,â Vans said as he handed two boxes of medication to Julian.
He explained to Diana, âIâve already had the pharmacy prepare these. These are progesterone pills that can help supplement the deficiency in your body. Drink more soy milk at home, as it can also help stabilize the pregnancy.â
Julian quickly took the medication and asked carefully,â How many times a day should she take them?
Before or after meals?â
âOnce a day,â Vans replied. âTake it half an hour after breakfast.â
