Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 975

Chapter 975

He looked up, almost unable to keep his eyes open.

He got into the car, leaned back against the seat, and instructed Noel, "To the Jarvises' residence."

By the time they arrived at the Jarvises' residence, Sue had been waiting for Julian for a long time.

"Mr. Fulcher," she greeted him, feeling grateful from the bottom of her heart.

Despite everything, he had come. This meant there was hope for Cecilia's condition.

Julian even brought gifts; some for Sue, and some for Cecilia's father and the other family members. His gesture seemed like an attempt to make things better for Cecilia.

Some of the gifts were also for Cecilia.

Noel carried the gifts, and walked in with Julian.

Cecilia had just completed a dose of nutrient solution. A doctor was removing the needle from her arm when she saw Julian. That made her jump from the bed.

Because of that, blood started oozing from the injection point. It left a shocking red stain on the pure white sheets.

Julian patiently stepped forward, wanting to press the cotton wool on the injection point. However, Cecilia shrunk back into the sheets the moment she saw him.

She even started tugging her hair in an attempt to cover her face.

Julian could tell she was scared to see him.

She was timid to the point of cowardice, as if she understood the state that she was in. In fact, she was on the verge of hiding under the bed. She even messed up her hair on purpose.

Julian dared not come close. He feared Cecilia might do something more dire.

Noel saw the situation, and offered, "Sir, let me."

Cecilia didn't resist when Noel got close to her.

Julian nodded. "Go ahead. Pull her out from under the bed, and clean up the injection wound. Make sure you press the cotton and stop the bleeding."

Noel nodded, and approached Cecilia carefully. He wasn't in a rush to pull her out.

He recalled Julian's attitude toward Betty in the past, when the little girl's aphasia had been severe. Then, he looked at Cecilia.

Given the state she was in right now, though, there was no point in explaining. He simply decided to accept it.

"Be careful, don't hit your head."

He held the edge of the bed frame, so Cecilia could crawl out. She was all wrapped up in his jacket, and only her eyes could be seen.

Finally, she had the courage to stand up straight in the room. Even so, she dared not look Julian in the eye. She simply giggled to herself.

She kept looking back at Noel, asking, "Mom, do I look pretty?"

Noel, now forced to be her mother, replied patiently, "Yes, you do."

He glanced at Julian. He bit the bullet, then added, "You're very pretty. You always look pretty."

When Cecilia heard Noel’s words, she smiled happily.

The moment Noel crawled out of the bed, Cecilia immediately sprang forward and glued herself to his back.

She shot Julian a few secretive glances, and asked Noel confusedly, "Since I look so pretty, why isn't he praising me?"
