Chapter 974

Diana was only taking care of Simon-she wouldn’t promise him anything.

Regardless, she still gave Julian her blessings.

“Okay. Go on, now.”

She needed some alone time.

Her tone was cold, and she seemed emotionless.

Julian knew he had hurt her again last night.

He still wanted to make things clear to her, lest she misunderstood things further. With that in mind, he said, “I kept thinking about how to apologize to you after I went back to the room last night, but I couldn’t come up with the perfect apology.

“I didn’t even go down for dinner.

“Diana… Don’t be angry with me, please?

“Be it Simon or Cecilia, we can face everything together. We’ll definitely be able to overcome these trying times.

“I’ll find the best doctors for them, and I’ll do my best to give them the most conducive environment for their recuperation. Don’t worry, this will surely pass.”

Will it?

Could Simon’s legs really be healed?

The bodyguards made it clear to Diana that Simon’s legs could never be healed.

As for Cecilia…

Even if she were healed and was no longer insane, what would happen in the future?

Who could guarantee she wouldn’t become mad again down the road?

These concerned their entire lives.

Julian was being way too optimistic right now.

Diana was in no mood to discuss these things with him.

She no longer wanted to rely on him any further. Instead, she wanted to go back to the old days in Stirling City.

She wanted to put herself and her children at the center of their lives, and do her best in what she needed to do.

From there, she would wean herself off of her reliance on Julian, which was just like an addiction.

That was the only way to prevent herself from taking him as the center of her life, and from having him constantly affect her mood.

“I’m going in.” She looked up, and said once more, “Go and see Cecilia.”

Seeing Diana behave this way made Julian feel uneasy. However, it was a fact that Simon lost his legs because of her.

It was also a fact that Cecilia had gone mad because of his heartlessness and carelessness.

Did Julian really have the right to cling to Diana right now?

He glanced in the direction of the ward. “Sure.”

Simon appeared to be awake.

Julian looked at the door. Simon probably didn’t want to see him, anyway.

While he wanted to go in and see how Simon was doing, he didn’t want to do it right now.

They were biological brothers…

But in reality, they didn’t seem like brothers at all.

At that moment, the cold, hard aura around Julian vanished, leaving behind only endless helplessness.

“Then…” He paused for a moment. “Call me if you need anything.”

Diana nodded before pushing the door open.

Strange.

Today, they didn’t fight like they did last night. And yet…

When Diana opened the door, Julian felt an inexplicable sense of disappointment. It was something he didn’t feel even when he fought with her, but now, it was there.

She was just taking care of Simon for the time being. She was simply being responsible.

Julian convinced himself that it was the same as him taking care of Cecilia.

To think he and Diana had to face such a drastic change, especially when they had just reconciled and were happy for a mere few days.

Julian didn’t know if it was right for them to do this.

Yet, at this point, it was the only way they could go.

He sighed, and instructed the bodyguards to continue keeping watch over Diana.

After all, Matt’s case was still a mystery. Plus, Diana still hadn’t spoken to Shiloh about making the medicine for her amnesia. She was still very much in danger.

After making the necessary arrangements, Julian left the hospital.

The sun was high up in the sky. It was still early autumn, but he felt so hot-as if he was stretched out and left to burn under the sun.
