Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 1518

Upon hearing this, Diana stared at him angrily.

"Julian!" She shoved him away abruptly.

"What are you thinking?"

Back in the lab, what happened between her and Jim was just a trick.

Given the circumstances, she believed it was worth being close to him if it meant Julian and Betty would survive.

Yet, Julian seemed to have taken this incident to heart.

"Are you disgusted by me? No wonder you've been distant these days."

He hadn't been affectionate or held her close.

After enduring so much hardship, he shouldn't be this indifferent.

Now, she finally understood why! Julian didn’t hesitate to step forward, refusing to retreat at her forceful push.

He pulled her closer, pledging with both hands raised, "I swear, I really don't mind! But it's still uncomfortable thinking about it."

As he spoke, his hand had already cradled the back of her head."Stay still."

Without another word, he intertwined their fingers and leaned in for a kiss.

His voice deepened with an undeniable seriousness.

"Let me clean you up."

Gripping the letter tightly, Diana tried to figure out what to say.

She felt the warmth of his affectionate gestures, and responded to him in the same way.

The two were inseparable.

In this intimate moment, Julian sensed Diana's unwavering determination.

This was how it should be.

Despite the countless challenges they faced, they finally found each other.

Even if life and death stood between them, their love could overcome it all.

At the hospital room doorway, Betty stood guard, preventing nurses from entering.

"Shh! My parents are sharing a moment.

No one's allowed inside!"

The nurses couldn't help but chuckle at her adorable stance, peeking into the room on their tiptoes.

Their faces instantly flushed red.

Clearing her throat, one nurse approached cautiously and knocked gently on the door.

"Mr.Fulcher, your wife has just had a shock.It's not advisable for her to exert herself right now."

Upon hearing this, Julian's face darkened.

It had been a long time since he had been this close to Diana, but that didn't mean he'd make a move on his wife in a hospital.

Especially when...

Their daughter, with wide-eyed innocence, was observing them from the doorway.

Quickly pulling apart, they both touched their slightly swollen lips, asking awkwardly, "Sweetie, when did you come to stand at the door?"

Betty replied nonchalantly, "Since Daddy gave Mommy the letter to read."

She smiled, and continued, "Was it a love letter Daddy wrote for Mommy? Oh, by the way, where's Uncle Simon?"

Betty remembered the scene in the lab when Simon had instructed them to leave first.

She thought he would catch up shortly, but he was nowhere to be seen.

Seeing her daughter still remember him, Diana felt a warm emotion deep within.

She knelt down, looking Betty in the eyes, and said sincerely, ''Uncle Simon went far, far away to protect us."

Betty was no naive child.

Telling her that people become stars after they die wouldn't work anymore. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

She quickly grasped the implication in Diana's words, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Uncle Simon..."

Her little mouth quivered.

"Is he gone forever?"

Diana didn't want to lie to her daughter.

Mostly, she didn't want to diminish the love Simon had for all of them.

Had Simon only wanted to save Diana, he wouldn't have let Julian and Betty come out together.

Diana understood Simon's complicated feelings.
