Chapter 732
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Julianâs recent weight loss was merely due to his empathizing with Dianaâs pregnancy. It was impossible for someone young and strong like him to be associated with death.
She didnât want to listen to Kikiâs nonsense anymore.
Dianaâs eyes were filled with panic; her lips trembled slightly, and tears welled up in her eyes. She looked like a wilted lotus flower, evoking a sense of pity.
âWhat a beauty,â Kiki thought.
Compared to Diana, Kiki definitely couldnât measure up the slightest. Fortunately, Julian was sick, and it was a condition that even the most sophisticated instruments couldnât detect. Only some clues could be revealed through tracing some elements in the body.
Kiki had already shown the results to her father. According to him, if the patient didnât receive treatment, the patient would die. Those were her fatherâs exact words. Now, she was just informing Diana of the facts.
Yet, Diana couldnât handle even a little information.
Kiki sighed. âDiana.â
She grabbed Diana, who was intent on leaving, and said,â You know I wouldnât joke about Julianâs life.â
With that sentence, Diana froze in place. Not only did her lips tremble, but her legs also seemed to give way. Finally, she said weakly, âKikiâ¦â
Dianaâs eyes turned red as she looked at Kiki. âCan you help me?â
Diana wanted to sit down in a chair. She was afraid of losing her balance and falling if she continued to stand, which would also endanger the babies.
Kiki did as she was asked, then said, âThank you for being willing to stay and listen to what I have to say.â
She took out a recording she had with her father. âListen, my father is one of the top doctors in the country. He specializes in treating complex conditions that modern medical examinations canât detect. If it werenât for him looking at Julianâs medical report, Iâm afraid weâd all think he was perfectly normal.â
In reality, Julianâs body had already given significant signals. The voice in the recording was deep and carried a kind of benevolence that had accumulated over the years. As soon as Diana heard it, she knew Kiki and her father werenât lying. However, it only made her all the more distraught.
âBut Julianâ¦Julianâs just throwing upâ¦â
âWould such a simple thing cause such rapid weight loss?â
Julian used to have a well-proportioned figure, like a walking clothes hanger. Yet in just a short period of ten days, many of his clothes had to be resized.
What was even more terrifying was that he continued to lose weight at a rapid pace. If it werenât for this, Diana wouldnât have forcefully requested him to undergo a medical examination. But even when she asked him to do the examination, she never thought he was actually sick.
She simply wanted to have peace of mind. She was sure he would be fine.
Yet the people here were holding the medical results and telling her that Julian had a complex condition, and didnât have much time left.
How could she accept that?
She needed her husband, and their babies needed their father.
Julian needed to live on and enjoy the love they would give him!
But now, everything was about to turn into a mirage. Even the biggest matters became insignificant in the face of life and death. Diana looked at Kiki, still unwilling to accept the latterâs words.
âThere are some things that donât add up to what youâre telling me.â
Kiki was surprised. âWhereâs the contradiction?â
She had played the recording for Diana. How could she not believe it?
