Chapter 738

Diana was rarely so serious.

She was usually smiling, and this was especially so when she used to visit Madam Fulcher at the old mansion. She was always gentle and mild-mannered, like a calm lake on a quiet spring afternoon.

But now, she reminded Mrs. Lay of a snowstorm during the freezing winter.

Cold and harsh.

She was so scared that she stood right where she was, not daring to move.

“Yes, ma’am.”

Diana was finally assured when she saw Mrs. Lay stand rooted on the spot. Only then did she approach Shiloh Stewart.

The moment Shiloh saw Diana walking toward him, he looked at her with a guilty gaze. “Are you Ms.

Diana Winnington?”

Diana nodded. “Are you Dr. Stewart?”

“Yes, I am,” A tinge of awkwardness flashed past the old man’s face. “I’m here to diagnose Mr.

Fulcher’s condition.”

This should have been something that delighted Diana.

She didn’t have to go through the effort of reaching out to him, or worry that he wouldn’t treat Julian because of his daughter Kiki.

And yet, Diana couldn’t bring herself to feel happy.

She knew Dr. Stewart would surely ask something of her by taking the initiative to come and diagnose Julian’s condition.

Shiloh had seen and heard much in his life, and had the uncanny ability to sense whether a person was ill just with one glance. On top of that, he was also a great judge of character. “I’d like to apologize to you regarding Kiki,” he began.

Naturally, he could tell that Diana was pregnant with twins right now.

At the same time, the moment he saw Diana, he knew the love triangle between her, Julian and Kiki wasn’t not as simple as what his daughter described it to be.

Still, his darling daughter was pregnant too.

What’s more, she was pregnant with Julian’s child.

As her father and the grandfather to her children, he had to think forthem.

The only person he could blame was Julian Fulcher, for not exercising self-control.

Ultimately…

Shiloh had lived an open and honest life, yet this was the first time he dared not straight into someone’s eyes. “Our family is the despicable one. In order to get my hands on a son-in-law, I have to force another lady to do something she doesn’t want.”

Diana could sense his sincerity. “You’re different from Kiki.”

“I’ve spoiled her too much,” Shiloh said apologetically. “I knew the moment I saw you that she must have lied to me, yet I chose to believe her.”

If he didn’t, he would have no way of making Julian stay by Kiki’s side.

He knew his daughter needed this man badly.

As her father, he could only do all he could to fulfill her wishes.

“That’s great.” Diana was immensely envious of Kiki.

Compared to the true fatherly love Shiloh displayed, her own parents did nothing but abandon her time and time again. They weren’t worthy of being called humans!

The thought of her ill fate in being abandoned by her own parents again and again made her eyes turn red with tears. ” I’ve never known the feeling of being deeply loved by a father.”

Diana looked at Shiloh and said, “Don’t feel guilty. I’m very thankful you’ve taken the initiative to look for me and volunteer to diagnose Julian’s condition.”

Loving someone was to wish for peace and health for him. That had to come first before wishing for riches, good looks and happiness.

Of all these, Julian had everything except for health.

Of all things, the only thing he lacked ended up being the most important one of all.

Since she couldn’t give him good health, she would have to bow out.

She felt as if tiny needles were piercing through her heart, and the pain spread through her entire body.

She had to control herself and stay composed, so Mrs. Lay who was standing nearby wouldn’t sense that something was amiss.

“Dr. Stewart.”

The moment she opened her mouth to speak, she realized her throat had gone dry and parched. She could feel her soul being sucked out, leaving her with an empty shell of a body.
