Chapter 32 Who Is This Man
Although the man had an elegant demeanor and spoke in a gentle manner, Julian felt a strong sense of suffocation. It was as if the man was grabbing him by his neck. He was so terrified that he peed his pants.
So it wasn’t an accident after all! It was man-made!
Julian knew all of Rayna’s friends. However, that was a man whom he had never met before.
How is he related to Rayna?
“You… What’s your relationship with Rayna…?” Julian asked, his voice trembling in fear. He wanted to find out the relationship between the man and Rayna but was unable to get out a complete sentence.
The man smiled faintly before picking up the phone from the cabinet and passing it to Julian. “Call her now and tell her that you are agreeing to the divorce. Ask her to bring the divorce settlement agreement to the hospital. OK?”
Julian was in no position to protest under the man’s pressure. He took over the phone with trembling fingers and called Rayna, conveying the exact message to the woman.
“Well done. Thanks.” With a satisfied expression on his face, the man stood up before he reached out and patted Julian’s shoulder forcefully,
Shaking in fear, Julian said, “Please… Please speak your mind.”
“Did you touch her?”
“Yes,” Julian replied nervously before he felt the man pressing down harder on his shoulder. Bearing the pain, he quickly explained, “But it was only on our wedding night. Besides, we didn’t manage to do anything. I swear!”
Taking a pause, the man continued, “I didn’t expect her sexual disorder to be so serious. Not only did she resist my touch, but she also even scratched me. After that night, I didn’t touch her again as we slept in separate bedrooms.”
Julian could feel anger sweeping over him at the mention of that.
He had pursued Rayna for a long time. Back then, when Rayna agreed to marry him, he thought he had gotten lucky. However, he did not expect that the woman wouldn’t allow him to touch her, and that filled him with resentment.
If it wasn’t for the woman’s sexual disorder, Julian wouldn’t have had an affair outside!
“Thanks for not touching her,” Curtis replied with a smile. The man was looking visibly more relaxed compared to a moment ago. “If you have touched her, I wouldn’t have let you continue staying in the hospital. Mr. Faymon, am I right?”
Julian was so terrified that he dared not even move.
Before he left, the man reminded, “Mr. Faymon, this conversation shall stay between us. I don’t want her to know about it. Can you promise me that?”
“Yes. Of course!” Julian nodded.
He had a feeling that if he lied, the man would not hesitate to bury him alive.
Rayna stared at Julian for a long while. Feeling uneasy, Julian urged her to leave. As such, she left with the divorce settlement agreement without asking any more questions.
Did he damage his brain in the accident and is suffering from some side effects?
Otherwise, why would he have such a sudden change in attitude?
Rayna was still trying to figure out the reason for Julian’s change of heart as she walked out of the hospital. Just then, she received a text from Roxanne, telling her that she was in the hospital as she happened to have some free time. Only then did Rayna suddenly remember that her mother was supposed to be discharged that day.
She turned around at once and headed toward the inpatient department. When she reached the ward, she saw someone packing up. Linda was standing by the side, wanting to help, but was being told off.
“Just stay there and stop doing anything. I can manage. I don’t want Rayna to nag at me for getting you to do work again.”
Rayna knocked on the door to inform the two people in the room that she was there.
“Oh, Rayna! You’re here.” Roxanne quickly stuffed her mother’s remaining belongings into the suitcase and said cheekily, “Everything was packed by me. How’s that?”
