Chapter 747
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
However, he had taken extra good care of his own health after that and had fully recovered. He couldnât be so weak to the point of fainting from a nosebleed.
âWhat happened to Mrs. Fulcher was too much for him to take.â Noel could only come up with that reason. âMrs. Lay, letâs wait for a while more. He should be out of surgery soon.â
âWait, wait, wait! Heâll be dead if we wait any longer!â Kiki charged toward them on her heels and stared unceremoniously at Noel. âAre you Assistant Carter?â
Noel nodded. âI know you. Youâre the daughter of the Stewart family.â
âThatâs right!â Kiki didnât expect Julianâs assistant to remember her name, and that notion made her feel rather smug. âYou should know that the Stewarts have been famous doctors over the generations, donât you?â
Noel nodded. âYes, I do.â
âSo right now, I want to bring Julian away to the Stewartsâ residence so my father can treat him.â She looked right at Noel and went on, âGiven his current condition, only my father can save Julian.â
With that, she ordered her subordinates to barge into the operating theater to check on Julian.
She didnât expect Noel to stop her and look at her in disdain. âWho do you think you are?â
No one had the power to bring his boss away as they pleased.
Kiki was shocked by his attitude, and immediately wanted to fire him. But she calmed herself down and thought that it was best to wait for Julian to wake up and make a decision first. With that in mind, she backed down from her stance and said, âMr. Carter. To be honest with you, I came here at the request of the hospital director.â
The mention of the hospital director made Noelâs face change. âIsnât he inside operating on Mr.
Fulcher?â
âYes,â Kiki said. âBut he realized that his skills are limited, and he could only deal with Julianâs external injuries and not the root of his condition.â
Mrs. Lay caught the underlying meaning behind Kikiâs words. âSo Mr. Fulcher bled from the nose so badly not because he was emotionally affected?â
Kiki didnât dare to clarify anything lest they sniff something amiss. âIâm not a doctor and Iâm not sure myself. Whatever it is, no matter Julianâs condition, my father is qualified to treat him.â
That was enough, for sure.
âSince the hospital director has no better way and since Madam Fulcher isnât around, Iâll act as the elder of the family and make the decision.â Mrs. Lay looked at Noel, âYou canât stop Ms. Stewart from taking Mr. Fulcher away.â
Shiloh had long heard about Julian fainting, and was waiting at home for him to come.
The moment he saw Kiki bring Julian in, he immediately brought him into his exclusive treatment room.
Shiloh was surrounded by bottles after bottles of medicine in the room, all made with rarely seen ingredients sourced from around the world.
In this room, the most expensive medicine in the world were the most basic drugs.
Those drugs that were rarely seen or heard in the world were true elixirs that could save lives.
Julianâs bleeding had been stopped, and the injury on his head had been treated as well. What Shiloh needed to do right now was to heal his body internally.
During this period of recuperation and recovery, Julian needed to take medicine.
His condition would only improve if he diligently took his medicine over one month.
However, Kiki didnât expect Julian to reject the medicine the moment he regained consciousness on the second day.
His face was as pale as death, and he was beginning to exhibit symptoms of his condition. His nose would start bleeding again at the slightest trigger.
Shiloh said Julianâs condition was at full force, and he was suffering way more than he seemed like he was on the surface.
To make matters worse, Fulcher Inc.âs stock prices were declining by the day.
Julian had lost the motivation to live.
âI want to see Diana,â he would say, and many times he tried to stand up and search for her.
Yet his entire body felt weak; no matter how many times he tried, he always ended up collapsing helplessly on the ground.
Tm useless!â He looked at Noel. âNoel, Iâm a useless piece of trash!â
Yet, this useless piece of trash had someone he cared most dearly for.
Eventually, he could only bow his head and plead with Noel-something he had never done before.
âNoel, pull me up!â
He had to look for Diana right now.
âSir.â Noel knew that Julianâs heart was aching, but he had to face up to reality. âMrs. Fulcher is alreadyâ¦â
Before he could complete his sentence, he could feel the temperature of the room descend.
Julian glared daggers at him. âDiana isnât dead! Sheâs not dead!â
Their babies were still in her womb. No matter what happened, she wouldnât leave this world just like that!
The news station must have made a mistake.
He must find out the truth.
Noel couldnât hold himself back anymore. âIf Mrs. Fulcher isnât dead, why isnât she home?â
