Chapter 794
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Julian appeared like an angel, emerging from the vast sea of cars behind her against the backlight.
The light blurred his silhouette, but it did nothing to diminish his presence.
He was getting increasingly closer.
Meanwhile, Dianaâs car was still speeding forward.
And Julian was the only one going against the flow of traffic.
He stood in front of the car, got into another vehicle, and resolutely blocked her path before her car could continue recklessly crashing in no particular direction, successfully preventing her from sustaining serious injuries.
Besides the time she gave birth to her children, this was the second time she felt hazy and heavy.
She felt like being submerged in water, weighed down into the depths.
When she gave birth, she was filled with joy and willingly endured the pain.
This time, it was fear and regret.
It was incomprehensible.
Julianâ¦
Why was he so good to her?
Why was he willing to risk his life to save her?
He got out of the car. There was a wound on his forehead, and blood trickled down his face. It slid down his cheek and dripped onto her hand. The liquid was deep red, and it hurt her eyes to look at it.
âThatâs great.â She heard him take a deep breath, his voice trembling as he shouted, âQuick, pull the person out of the car! Leave the situation here to the police. Doctor! Get a doctor here!â
When his hand touched her fingertips, their souls seemed to tremble. It seemed like something in her mind was about to burst out.
But she was so, so tired.
She didnât have the strength to think anymore.
She could only let those things slip away quietly.
Then, with a puzzled look at him, she closed her eyes tightly.
When Julian carried her in his arms and ran towards the ambulance, his legs were weak. It seemed everytime she encountered him, something bad happened.
In Stirling City, she had a simple and happy life.
Once she arrived at Richburgh and appeared before him, something would happen, like now.
If it werenât for his decisive action to stop the car, no one could say what would happen to Diana when the car she was in crashed into the endless stream of vehicles.
Even so, she still got injured.
If he hadnât said those words or intentionally provoked her, would all of this have happened?
It had been three years.
He had been searching for her for three years, and finally, she appeared before his eyes.
Yet, he didnât cherish it.
Julian deeply regretted it now. He felt as if someone had dug a hole and buried all his happiness in it.
Fortunately, her injuries werenât severe. She was just heavily shocked and temporarily unconscious. As for the external injuries she had sustained, they needed to be treated after she woke up to prevent infection before she could be discharged from the hospital.
âSir, you should go home and take care of the children,â Mrs. Lay said when she came to relieve Julian.
âIâll stay with Madam. If the children wake up and donât see anyone, they will definitely cry and make a fuss. You should go back and comfort them.â
Julian couldnât let go of the two little ones, but he couldnât let go of Diana either. He blamed himself severely for what had happened.
âCan I bring the children to the hospital?â
Mrs. Lay shook her head repeatedly and said, âNo, sir, youâre not thinking clearly. This is their mother. If they find out that she was hurt because of your words, what do you think will happen to the already limited bond between you and the children?â
She felt sorry for Diana, but she also felt sorry for Julian. After all, Diana was the one who had disappointed Julian first.
Mrs. Lay still had some reservations about Diana in her heart. Now that there were the children to consider, Mrs. Lay hoped that Julian could make up for the lost three years and become a father they would accept in their hearts.
Julian took Mrs. Layâs words to heart, but he still didnât want to leave.
Mrs. Lay understood his thoughts and sighed silently. âDo you not trust my presence here? Before Madam Fulcher passed away, she was worried you would mistreat Ms.
Winnington. But in my opinion, why would you mistreat her? Itâs obvious youâre treating her well.â
So many years had passed, and Mrs. Lay had never seen Julian lower his head like this. He didnât even hold Diana accountable for her mistakes. He even brought the children home when their identities still needed to be clarified.
