Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 738

Diana was rarely so serious.

She was usually smiling, and this was especially so when she used to visit Madam Fulcher at the old mansion. She was always gentle and mild-mannered, like a calm lake on a quiet spring afternoon.

But now, she reminded Mrs. Lay of a snowstorm during the freezing winter.

Cold and harsh.

She was so scared that she stood right where she was, not daring to move.

“Yes, ma’am.”

Diana was finally assured when she saw Mrs. Lay stand rooted on the spot. Only then did she approach Shiloh Stewart.

The moment Shiloh saw Diana walking toward him, he looked at her with a guilty gaze. “Are you Ms. Diana Winnington?”

Diana nodded. “Are you Dr. Stewart?”

“Yes, I am,” A tinge of awkwardness flashed past the old man’s face. “I’m here to diagnose Mr. Fulcher’s condition.”

This should have been something that delighted Diana.

She didn’t have to go through the effort of reaching out to him, or worry that he wouldn’t treat Julian because of his daughter Kiki.

And yet, Diana couldn’t bring herself to feel happy.

She knew Dr. Stewart would surely ask something of her by taking the initiative to come and diagnose Julian’s condition.

Shiloh had seen and heard much in his life, and had the uncanny ability to sense whether a person was ill just with one glance. On top of that, he was also a great judge of character. “I’d like to apologize to you regarding Kiki,” he began.

Naturally, he could tell that Diana was pregnant with twins right now.

At the same time, the moment he saw Diana, he knew the love triangle between her, Julian and Kiki wasn’t not as simple as what his daughter described it to be.

Still, his darling daughter was pregnant too.

What’s more, she was pregnant with Julian’s child.

The thought of her ill fate in being abandoned by her own parents again and again made her eyes turn red with tears. “I’ve never known the feeling of being deeply loved by a father.”

Diana looked at Shiloh and said, “Don’t feel guilty. I’m very thankful you’ve taken the initiative to look for me and volunteer to diagnose Julian’s condition.”

Loving someone was to wish for peace and health for him. That had to come first before wishing for riches, good looks and happiness.

Of all these, Julian had everything except for health.

Of all things, the only thing he lacked ended up being the most important one of all.

Since she couldn’t give him good health, she would have to bow out.

She felt as if tiny needles were piercing through her heart, and the pain spread through her entire body. She had to control herself and stay composed, so Mrs. Lay who was standing nearby wouldn’t sense that something was amiss.

“Dr. Stewart.”

The moment she opened her mouth to speak, she realized her throat had gone dry and parched. She could feel her soul being sucked out, leaving her with an empty shell of a body.
