Chapter 977

Cecilia wrapped her arms tightly around Noel.

Noel, who had never been in such close proximity with a woman, flushed brightly. His face turned as red as a tomato.

He raised his arms, awkwardly and stiffly, like a bird flying precariously in the air and almost falling from the sky. He didn’t dare to touch Cecilia.

“Mrs. Jarvis…”

Noel had heard what Sue said earlier. He could tell that she wasn’t pleased with his status as an assistant.

No matter Cecilia’s mental condition, she was still a rich heiress.

Noel put himself in Sue’s shoes. If Betty were closed in a room and behaved intimately with a man like him, forget Julian, Noel himself would beat that man up. He could understand where Sue was coming from, and immediately explained things to her.

“For some reason, Ms. Jarvis thinks I’m you… She refuses to let Mr. Fulcher touch her, and even insisted for Mr. Fulcher to leave the room just now.”

Now that Sue thought about it, she noticed that Cecilia didn’t look very happy when Julian visited her in her room yesterday. She appeared anxious, nervous, and shy.

Recalling that, Sue understood the situation.

“Cecilia would sometimes recognize the wrong person.”

But…

“She’s clinging so tightly to you…”

Sue found that rather unacceptable.

She stepped forward, trying to pry Cecilia’s arms away from Noel. However, that only made Cecilia tighten her hold on Noel.

Cecilia even started yelling at Sue, calling Sue a vixen for snatching Julian and her mother away. She was on the verge of collapse.

The thing Sue couldn’t stand the most was hearing her obedient and innocent daughter cursing and swearing. Such behavior was worlds apart from her daughter in the past.

She couldn’t swallow it, no matter how many times she had witnessed and heard it.

She soon gave up.

She wiped her tears away and went downstairs, no longer forcing Cecilia to let Noel go.

Julian didn’t expect things to turn out like this.

“Take good care of her,” he said to Noel. Then, he quickly followed Sue downstairs to comfort her.

Julian’s chivalrous behavior was still comforting. He didn’t say anything bad about Cecilia behind her back. He simply put all the blame on himself.

“Don’t worry, Mrs. Jarvis. I’ll make sure she gets the treatment she needs, and recovers.”

He had already contacted Shiloh.

“I found an excellent doctor who can treat her. I won’t let him know her identity. The thing is, I have to bring her back to CoIlina Villa for the treatment. Are you okay with that, Mrs. Jarvis?”

“Well…” Sue was hesitant.

Cecilia was neither engaged nor married to Julian. Why should she follow Julian back to his house?

“The Jarvis family has a reputation to maintain. Why can’t we call the doctor here?” Sue said hesitantly.

‘Why must Cecilia follow you to your villa?”

“Yes, but if that happened, he would surely know that he’s treating Cecilia, the heiress of the Jarvis family,” Julian said with a small smile.

In that case, Cecilia’s condition would no longer be a secret.

“I have to discuss with her father,” Sue said.

This was a major decision, and Sue couldn’t make it alone.

Julian agreed to it.

He had thought about it.

Since Cecilia was so dependent on Noel right now, it might be a better idea to take Cecilia home with them, rather than going to the Jarvises’ residence every day.

That way, Julian can keep an eye on Diana’s situation at the same time. He wouldn’t be trapped at the Jarvises’ residence, unable to do anything.

His heart tightened with worry when he recalled him and Diana going their separate ways at the hospital earlier today, as well as the indifferent look in her eyes.

What’s more, there were things he couldn’t say and do at the Jarvises’ residence.

He could only invite Shiloh to CoIlina Villa, and urge the man to quickly make the medicine for Diana’s amnesia.

Sue was quick to respond to Julian.

Mr. Jarvis had always doted on Sue. They had been childhood sweethearts, and were a perfect match in terms of family background. Till today, they remained a model couple in society.

Sue might have called it a discussion, but she was simply looking for someone to nod and give her the confidence in her decision.

“We agree to it,” she said.

However, she added one condition.

“If you are really confident that Cecilia can be treated, you can take her away. But! We need you to bear responsibility to the fullest extent.”
