Chapter 801
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
The three of them looked at Diana in a daze.
She immediately let Julian go and stepped back in a panic. âTm sorry! I didnât do it on purpose.â
Her fractured arm hurt so badly, but she didnât even furrow her brows.
She was too occupied by the embarrassment and awkwardness she was feeling.
The excitement and warmth in Julianâs eyes faded.
They gradually gave way to disappointment. âItâs okay.â
He should have known the one she wanted to hug wasnât him.
This fact wouldnât change, even after a car accident.
âSean, Betty.â Julian looked down and said softly to the twins, âIâll put you both down now.â
The two of them couldnât wait.
âMommy! Mommy!â
Tears filled their eyes the moment they saw Diana.
Betty immediately jumped into Dianaâs embrace, and kept blowing at her wounds.
Sean, on the other hand, didnât dare to move.
Mommyâs arm was in a cast, and it probably felt very painful.
He didnât dare to touch her.
âCome down!â He tried to pull Betty away. âYouâre too heavy.â
Betty was going to make Mommyâs wound even worse.
Betty, however, felt indignant at Seanâs words. Her chubby face was filled with displeasure.
The moment she saw Diana furrow her brows, her face crumpled and she said, âTm sorry.â
She was always not as smart and sharp as her brother.
Boo hooâ¦
She made Mommyâs wound even worse.
Diana had never seen her twins cry so hard before. âItâs fine, itâs fine.â
Her heart broke into a million pieces as she put Betty down and hurriedly grabbed some ice from the fridge. She wrapped them in a towel, and quickly applied it on Bettyâs eyes.
She caressed Bettyâs little face. âThe wound on your cheeks hasnât faded yet. How can you cry so much?â
Her heart was shattering.
She didnât feel so bad during the video call.
But now, the sight of her twins standing right before her, Bettyâs red and swollen eyes, and the scar still on her little face tugged at her heartstrings.
The ache in Dianaâs heart made her feel terrible.
She couldnât even bring herself to look at Betty anymore.
If she did so, her eyes would probably fill with tears once more.
Spending these two days away from her two darlings felt as long as a century.
Diana waved at Sean. âSean, come over here.â
Her little Sean darling, so cold and aloof.
Although he was a little ice prince, Diana knew he was also a warm hearted young man.
He would always be the first to realize that she was feeling unwell.
Even when they were infants, Sean had always been the more mature one of the two.
Diana had done all the tough work of taking care of the twins and she had to balance that with work.
One day, she finally collapsed from the fatigue and fell sick.
That night, she had a high fever at 102 fahrenheit.
She was worried about spreading the fever to them, so she wore a mask. She didnât even dare to feed them her breastmilk.
She had to climb out of bed in the middle of the night and look for milk powder from a store.
But Stirling City wasnât as developed as Richburgh, and practically all the shops were closed in the middle of the night.
Eventually, she had no choice but to knock on her neighborâs doors to try and get some milk powder.
By the time she managed to get some milk powder and returned home, Betty had cried till her throat went hoarse.
For the very first time, Diana slapped herself right in front of her twins!
She had gotten muddle-headed from the fever!
How could she leave the two of them at home all alone?
Thankfully, nothing happened. If something did happen, she would never forgive herself even if she died.
Sean, on the other hand, was exceptionally obedient that day.
