Follow Me novel Chapter 18

Sadie clenched her fists which were hanging next to her thighs tightly into a ball after asking the question. Her knuckles were turning white from the tightening of the skin.

“I said, I need a bride,” Julian stared straight into her eyes. He smiled slightly seeing the glimpse of anger and hatred in her eyes.

She was extremely obedient when she first came to the Mccarthy family, but now she was like a prickly hedgehog.

It was fun and fresh to see her extend her quills.

Sadie wouldn’t normally speak in such a harsh tone to him. In the first two to three years, she would even seek his opinion for everything she did.

Because of this, Cayden Mccarthy, Julian’s grandfather, didn’t like her that much. He thought that she wasn’t bright and didn’t have a mind of her own. He didn’t think that she was a good marriage partner for Julian.

One could easily judge a person’s personality in the future by looking at their temperament as a child. She was almost ten years old back then, but she was still seeking for Julian’s opinion on what to eat. She was also shy and fidgety, she would often lower her head in front of people.

He would say that he liked the present Sadie even more.

Bright and baring her fangs, it was how she should act for her age.

“You’ll toy someone and keep them at bay, just because you need a bride?” Sadie snickered. She let go of her tightly clenched fist and swung her palm at his face.

Julian reacted quickly and grabbed her hand, his seductive thin lips smiled ambiguously. “I remember saying before, that this hand shouldn’t be used to hit others, especially me.”

Sadie couldn’t break free of his grip as he had inhumane strength, she then squealed, “Go to the psychiatrist is you are mentally ill, stop bothering me!”

“You really mean that?” Julian stopped smiling and the temperature around him dropped. “I’m not done talking yet, don’t be so agitated.”

It was so quiet in the living room that one could probably hear if a needle were to drop on the floor.

Sadie felt humiliated for the first time in her life, she glared at him angrily and her face was turning pale, “You crazy bastard!”

Julian didn’t care, but a hint of displeased could be seen in his deep and quiet eyes. He walked towards the priest who was standing on the other side and said to Sadie, “You are just my wife on paper, just put on the show with me. If you can’t, then I will demolish that charity house.”

“Put on a show? Why?” Sadie couldn’t believe her ears, her eyes were now wide open. Was he bored out of his mind that he pulled so many stunts just so he could force her to “put on a show” with him?!

Julian tilted his head to one side and tried to hide his laughing intention, “You look ugly but unique.”

Sadie was taken aback, she was about to take off her high heels and stabbed him on the head with them.

Her phone rang after the oath and it made her heart skipped a beat. Khalid brought the phone to her and she quickly went up to take it. She thanked him and immediately took the call.

She was listening intently while biting her lips and then she said dejectedly, “I see.” Suddenly, everything turned pitch black and she fell to the ground.

“Lady Sadie!” Khalid reacted quickly and caught her in his arms. He looked up and saw Julian running towards him. Julian carried her and rushed out the entrance.

Doctor Rees wasn’t here today, but he arranged a colleague to be at the wedding ceremony to ensure that everything would go well.

Julian put her into the car and sat down in the passenger seat. He said coldly, “To the hospital!”

The driver didn’t dare to take his time, he quickly stepped on the pedal and reversed the car skillfully. The doctor who was checking up on Sadie at the back seat was scared out of his mind.

The wedding ceremony wasn’t even half-way through, and the bride had fainted. He crossed his fingers and wished that they wouldn’t blame him for this.

He wiped the sweat off his forehead after the check-up was done and softly reported to Julian, “She had a high fever. Based on the preliminary diagnosis she most likely caught a cold.”

Julian rubbed his nose bridge and told the driver to speed up.

The Health Hospital was the closest to ZSB Garden. Within 10 minutes, the car arrived at the entrance of the hospital.

Julian got off the car and carried Sadie out, he carefully put her on the wheeled stretcher.

She was so light that he couldn’t feel any weight on his arms while carrying her. This made the expression on his face looked even worse.

After a proper diagnosis, Sadie was put on a drip to bring down her fever and was brought to a VIP wardroom. Julian pressed his lips against each other and moved a chair next to the bed, he held her burning hand in distress.
