Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1507

They were locked in stalemate.

Diana had begun begging Jim to release Betty.

Jim looked at Julian. “I’ll let your daughter go. Tell all your men outside to retreat.”

Julian refused. “Jim, if you do this, you’ll never be able to appear at any award ceremonies. Your research will be forced to come to a standstill, and you…”

Jim cut Julian off. “No, you won’t kill my mother. She has records of all of my research.”

Even if he died, she would be able to consolidate his research. She would find new direction and breakthroughs.

However, that would only be possible with the smooth delivery of Diana’s babies.

“She betrayed me and told you where Diana was hidden. I can’t find it in myself to forgive her,” Jim said.

Thinking of his mother’s actions, he was disappointed.

“I even thought of sacrificing her, but she wasn’t willing. I saw her desire to go on living. She’s even more eager to be alive than I am.”

As for him…

“I truly am someone who can give up my life for the sake of research.”

He looked at Diana. As if replying to her previous question, he said, “I’ve never loved another person, but I have experienced love. A pure kind of love, one between me and medical science. Our bond is unbreakable. I will never be apart from it.”

He would protect it with his life!

But now, each time he saw Diana looking at him with such a fearful, pitiful gaze, his heart would tremble.

He was afraid.

He was afraid he would become soft-hearted each time he looked at her and give up on the babies in her stomach, and return her peaceful life.

He chose to sacrifice himself in order to eliminate that possibility. That was the only way the experiment could go on successfully.

There was firm determination in Jim’s eyes, as solid and indestructible as a stone wall.

With that, her lips drew close to Jim.

No one expected Diana to do what she did next.

She wasn’t able to get close to Julian, but she could get close to Jim.

When her face drew closer, Jim’s heart trembled. Warmth surged past the cold barriers in his heart, melting the ice from within into warm spring waters.

Jim’s heart raced.

The thing he feared the most had happened.

He gripped the handle of his chair hard, trying to avoid Diana’s touch. But her body felt so soft, and a unique scent drifted into his nose when she drew near. At that moment, he couldn’t bear to scold her and tell her to stay away.

Fire burned in Julian’s eyes as he saw the scene unfolding before him.

He didn’t expect his own wife to kiss another man so seriously right in front of him!
