Chapter 896
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
When Julian called Vans to make an appointment for the check-up, he told the latter everything that had happened. He was filled with disgust. Eventually, his tone softened as he said, âI hope Ms. Jarvis will give up on me.â
A man like him, who could splash paint on a woman, wasnât worthy of her.
Vans understood that Julian did so to dash all of Ceciliaâs hopes. She was the only woman out of all the socialites in Richburgh whom Julian found pleasant, and was willing to try having a relationship with.
Vans found it rather strange. âDidnât you just say a few days ago that youâd pursue her? Why did you suddenly become so heartless?â
Julian remained silent.
It had something to do with Aster and Starâs death anniversary.
But another reasonâ¦
Was personal.
He looked up at Dianaâs lonely figure outside the window, and his eyes turned dark. Even his voice turned low when he spoke. It was laced with fatigue and helplessness.
âVans, I still love her.â
He realized that fact when he got furious upon guessing that Diana was trying to play matchmaker between him and Cecilia.
He paid attention to her menstrual cycle, rubbed her belly, and seized the chance to sleep on the same bed as her. All of these werenât accidents-he wasnât forced to do them, and they werenât habits.
Instead, they were all because he still loved her.
His feelings for her were like a pot of oatmeal simmering over a small fire, bubbling consistently, but not to the point of boiling over.
Since he still had feelings for her, he shouldnât give Cecilia hope when there was none.
âArrange it as soon as you can,â Julian said. âIâll bring her to the hospital tomorrow.â
If the results proved that Diana was lying, he own two hands!
The next morning, Diana was still lost in the shock of seeing her studio in that terrifying state yesterday.
She was in a daze as she ate breakfast.
Julian kept rushing her, wanting to take her to the hospital.
Diana already knew that she was going for a check-up today. A straight foot wasnât afraid of a crooked shoe. She was even more excited about the check-up than Julian.
Whatâs more, she wouldnât keep thinking about Cecilia with him around. She could distract herself.
The results were out very quickly.
When Vans came, he even brought a neurologist with him. He looked solemn.
Diana furrowed her brows. âWell?â
She wanted to know what exactly went wrong with Vans didnât reply to her, and instead handed the results to Julian. âThis is the result.â
A bad feeling rose in Dianaâs chest. She subconsciously clenched her fists and asked, âHow is it?â
Julian crushed the results into a tight ball, and flung it into a nearby trash can. âNoel, chuck all of Dianaâs belongings out of the villa. As for the twinsâ teachers, send word out that weâre going to continue recruiting people. Make sure someoneâs always watching Betty and Sean, and wonât let Diana close to them!â
Everything happened so quickly.
The look on Julianâs face was terrifyingly dark.
Diana felt as if someone had gripped her heart. She rushed to the trash can, and dug out the results like a madwoman.
She wasnât bothered that it was dirty, and finally managed to find the results slip. She uncrumpled the paper and read its claim: there was nothing wrong with her brain!
How could that be?!
Then, how did she lose her memories?!
Didnât memory loss always have to do with the brain?
Diana looked pleadingly at the neurologist, who pushed his glasses up his nose and emphasized, âMs.
Winnington, there really is nothing wrong with your brain.â
With that, she collapsed on the floor in disbelief.
How could this beâ¦
How could this be?!
