Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1216

Chapter 1216

He was even helping her call Enzo.

"Don't panic," Jim comforted Diana. "Your children and husband will be fine."

He even switched the phone to loudspeaker so Diana could hear his conversation with Enzo.

"Enzo," Jim said into the phone.

The moment the arrogant Enzo got Jim's call, he immediately bowed and replied respectfully. His hair stood on end; he was alert and ready to receive his commands." I'm right here, Professor Hughes. How can I be of service?"

"Release Mr. Fulcher and his children. I don’t want any mishap," Jim said. He turned to Diana and said in a polite, almost distant manner, "Do you have anything else to add?"

Diana was already very grateful to him, so she didn't see the need to raise any further requests. She was now certain that Jim and Enzo weren't in cahoots.

"As long as they come back safely to me," Diana said, knowing that she was unable to bear the loss of her loved ones.

Jim nodded. "Okay."

Enzo's voice turned a pitch higher. "But... But..."

"But what?"

Enzo bit the bullet and confessed, "Julian...already took the medicine. The drug hasn’t been launched yet, and is currently in its second phase of development... There's a level of toxicity in it..."

Jim furrowed his brows, his voice laced with anger. "Enzo Jennings."

From the way he uttered Enzo's name, one could feel flesheating bugs crawling up on the skin. Even Diana was frightened.

But Professor Hughes was such a nice man. He couldn't possibly be so cruel and frightening!

Diana stopped her imagination from going wild, and subconsciously caressed her tummy.

"Professor Hughes..." The worry on her face said it all. "My husband..."

His health was susceptible even to normal over-the-counter drugs when he took them indiscriminately. Taking drugs that weren't yet launched to the market would surely be worse.

Diana's mind fell into a mess when she heard Enzo’s words. Her face wrinkled up; she wished she could pounce on Enzo herself and force that damned drug on him instead!

Julian’s senses awoke at that moment. He swiftly pulled Sean into his embrace, ensuring the boy's safety before glaring at Enzo.

"What are you here for?"

Up to this point, Julian had been injected once and forced to take a pill. To Enzo, Julian was nothing but a dying man. There was no need for him to come here and risk being suspected as the culprit.

Enzo seemed to have changed his stance, a solemn look on his face as he lashed out with a whip.

Smack!

Julian tightened his hold over Sean.

However, he saw the whip landing on Tommy instead.

Tommy's face went red as he whimpered in pain, but he didn’t dare to say anything. Meanwhile, Enzo smiled sheepishly at Julian.

"Mr. Fulcher, my subordinate was blind. Feel free to bring Sean back home anytime!"
