Chapter 730
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
If Mrs. Lay werenât present, Diana wouldnât feel embarrassed by anything Julian said.
But with Mrs. Lay around, Diana couldnât help but glare at him. âJust eat your food.â
After downing two bowls of extremely sour soup consecutively, Julianâs teeth were on the verge of being corroded by the acidity.
His teeth probably couldnât even chew properly now.
However, he acted like nothing was wrong when he spoke to Diana. Seeing her appetite rise and her eating more than before, he encouraged her, âNext time I cook, Iâll add more vinegar.â
As long as she enjoyed the food, he would adapt to any taste she had.
As the weeks went by, Dianaâs symptoms didnât improve and she continued to throw up frequently.
Mrs. Lay, being experienced in these matters, said, âNausea and vomiting usually improve after three months, but there are also some people who continue to vomit until delivery.â
Diana felt frustrated. âWhen will this end?â
Mrs. Lay smiled. âMadam, all of us women go through this. Just bear with it a little longer.â
However, Julian didnât want Diana to endure it. That night, he panicked when he saw her vomit yellowish fluid again, with traces of blood this time.
âPregnancy is too painful. Letâs not have the baby. Letâs not!â
He grabbed Diana, about to leave. âLet Vans take care of it. We donât want a child anymore!â
Diana couldnât believe what she was hearing. âWhat on earth are you saying?!â
How could they not want the babies they had finally regained?
The memory of being pushed into the operating room by Julian resurfaced, and her eyes were filled with disappointment and fear.
âYou can keep the marriage certificate for yourself!â
She didnât want to marry a man as heartless as him!
After saying that, she forcefully closed the door with a loud bang.
Julian hadnât really meant those words. He wanted to experience the feeling of being a father more than anyone, but when he saw Diana in such pain, it broke his heart.
And so, he had said those things out of desperation.
But those words happened to touch upon the memory that Diana least wanted to recall, which was the fear of being forcibly pushed into the operating room by Julian. If it werenât for Vans, the birth father of her babies would have likely killed themâ¦!
But back then, Julian thought she was carrying Oliverâs child. What about now? He knew very well that he was the father of the babies. How could he say such irresponsible things?!
âI was wrong,â Julian said as he knocked persistently on the door, his face filled with regret. âI really messed up.â
He kept knocking and calling out until his voice became hoarse. No matter how much he apologized and tried to coax her, Diana refused to open the door.
In the end, it was a phone call from the medical institution that finally made Diana step out of the room.
They informed her that Julianâs test results were out, and Diana needed to go in person.
She didnât think much about it and replied, âIâll go right away.â
However, she didnât plan to let Julian accompany her. His words of not wanting the babies still rang in her ears, and her anger had yet to vanish.
These past two days, she hadnât let him into the bedroom to sleep. Unable to do anything, Julian had laid a makeshift bed outside her door.
In fact, she understood he had said those things because he cared so much about her. But no matter how much he cared, he shouldnât just say he didnât want the babies.
She was angry this time because she wanted to make him remember that no matter what happened in the future, he should never have thoughts of getting rid of their babies.
She intended to carry the babies for the next ten months and give birth to them. They were precious lives that she considered her own even before delivery. She was willing to endure any amount of suffering for their sake.
She couldnât bear to let them suffer the slightest harm, even from herself, much less from Julian, who suggested she terminate her pregnancy.
She was furious.
But when she pushed open the door and saw the makeshift bed placed outside, her heart softened instantly.
This man, who was so particular about cleanliness, was willing to sleep here, on the ground. He did it just so he could listen to any movement in the room at all times, as he was afraid she might be uncomfortable during the night and unable to call for help in time.
Forget it.
