Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 358

Chapter 358

Julian's ruthlessness towards the Pabian family and the fact he hadn't left a trace of Luke's body was a consequence that Kayla hadn't expected.

She trembled in fear, and her teeth chattered. She used almost all of her strength to force herself to calm down.

It didn't matter. Luke was dead, and he didn't even have the opportunity to confess her involvement before he died.

There had also been no news from Mr. Carter's end, so she relaxed once more when the thought crossed her mind. Now that her emotions had settled, she patted the empty spot on her bed and gave Julian a real smile.

"Did you come to see me?"

Julian had come in the middle of the night. Did he want to get Kayla pregnant to replace the baby in Diana's belly?

Kayla perked up at the thought and started moving. She even tried to pull her hospital gown down a little.

Julian had never met a person who had made such an error of judgment in his life.

Was Kayla...really the same girl who had saved him as a child?

The more he interacted with her, the more he felt there was so much difference between her and the person he vaguely remembered in his memory.

With a click, the hospital room brightened. The lights bounced off the wall and emitted a harsh light for a moment, causing Kayla to squint her eyes shut for a while and subconsciously bring up her hand to shield her face. Such a situation made her exposed shoulder seem like a joke.

Julian couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes. He tossed a recorder to her side and said, "Listen to that. It's Mr. Carter's confession."

Kayla pressed the play button on it, and her face drastically paled as she listened. Eventually, her smile vanished and only fear was left on her face.

"He's lying! That's not true! What he said was all fake!"

"Lying?" Julian sneered. "The leftover powder has already been tested, and they were chemicals for abortion! Mr. Carter mistakenly thought his small dosage had been ineffective, so he replaced it with prescribed laxatives.

That was the only reason it saved Diana's future fertility!'

Still, it sounded like the fact she had colluded with Luke hadn't been discovered. Kayla was glad Luke was dead; at the very least, she still had a fighting chance because of it.

"Kayla," Julian growled, his patience clearly running thin. "Mr. Carter has admitted everything. Will you still not admit it?"

"I do! I admit it!" Kayla nodded her head rapidly, and her tears kept falling.

Her emotions swung from terrified to angry instantly.

"Julian!" Kayla screamed suddenly, breaking out of the innocent image she usually displayed before Julian. Her mangled voice was surprisingly a little harsh as she said, "Don't you understand why I did all these things? It's all your fault! It's your fault that I've become what I am today!"

Her logic was simply unreasonable.

And yet, Julian had no choice but to hear her out as she had saved him when they were younger.

"If it weren't for me back then, you would be dead now!"
