Chapter 926
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
It really turned out to be hypnosisâ¦
That coincided with Julianâs and the neurologistâs guess!
Although he received the answer that he expected, Julian didnât feel an ounce of joy. Conversely, he looked even more troubled.
âWhy was she hypnotized? Who hypnotized her?â
He clenched his fists, wishing he could tear Kiki into pieces. She knew the truth, yet she kept lying to him! But now, he could only control his temper and keep demanding for more answers.
âWhy exactlyâ¦did Diana leave me back then?â
What secrets lie behind what happened to him and Diana?
Bam!
Kiki gave him one final look. Her face was bent high up toward him, her lips a hazy smile. She slumped heavily back onto the table.
âKiki Stewart!â Julian yelled.
How could she fall asleep when he hadnât even asked the most important question?!
Julian wanted to wake her up, but Noel chose that moment to come in upon hearing the commotion.
âMr. Fulcher.â He stopped Julian from doing what he wanted to do. âShe had too much to drink and probably wonât wake up no matter how much you call out to her.â
Unless he waited till the next day to talk to her like a normal person, after she turned sober.
But after she turned sober and realized that Julian had been putting up an act to be nice to her only as a trap, she would surely get angry and refuse to speak.
In other words, this was all Julian could get after sacrificing so much.
He felt rather defeated. âI havenât asked her the most important question yet.â
âWeâve already managed to confirm that Ms. Winnington leaving you and Richburgh back then had something to do with her being hypnotized by someone. We also know that this definitely had something to do with Kiki. Thatâs enough,â Noel said.
Noel reminded Julian, knowing that the latter was feeling anxious out of concern.
âKnowing now that Ms. Winnington was hypnotized by someone is akin to knowing the reason behind her memory loss,â he went on. âIf we can find an excellent hypnotist to release her from her hypnotic state, the truth from three years ago will naturally return to Ms. Winnington.â
What did it matter whether Kiki chose to say the truth, and whether she was clear in her words?
On second thought, Julian agreed with Noel.
Although he could hold his liquor very well, he had a limit. He wasnât thinking as clearly as Noel was.
He realized that there was no point in staying further at Kikiâs place.
âTake me back to the villa.â
He wanted to go back and see Diana, and tell her that she lost her memories because she was hypnotized.
âLaunch a search for outstanding hypnotists in the world, and bring them to me as soon as possible.â
âThe second is easy, sir,â Noel said, âbut are you sure you want to go back to the villa?â
Julian had already stepped out when he heard Noel. He paused for a moment. âWhat do you mean by that?â
Noel informed him about Diana and the twins moving out of the villa.
At that moment, Julian instantly woke up from his drunken haze.
He didnât expect them to be so angry about what happened at the kindergarten today.
He finally achieved some progress in his investigation. He went to such great lengths just to help Diana find her memories back and make her happy. He didnât want to be separated from them.
His heart burned with anxiety.
âQuick! Take me to the place she moved to right now!â
Noel didnât dare delay and sped to where Diana was. He drove at such a high speed that Julian felt terrible.
The moment Julian got out of the car, he ran to a tree and vomited everything in his stomach.
There was no way he could keep the clothes he was wearing.
He smelled terrible, to boot.
This was torture for a clean freak like him.
But now, he looked up at Dianaâs room that was still lit. He wasnât in a panic for Noel to grab some new clothes for him. Instead, he took off his shirt and headed up the stairs.
Knock, knock.
âMommy, someoneâs at the door.â
Seanâs guard was up. The moment he heard a commotion outside, he moved a stool to the door and looked out from the peephole.
The kindergarten principal reminded her to guide Sean in his everyday habits, and Diana didnât dare to be careless. She quickly told Sean that stepping on the stool like that wasnât safe and that he shouldnât do that again in the future.
Tomorrow, she would ask Oliver if he could install a surveillance camera at the door and sync it to her phone. Then, they could spot suspicious movements outside the door.
