Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1003

Chapter 1003

"But..."

He looked down, and pulled the sheets over his body.

"Without you around, there was no one to help me on the wheelchair."

He had no way of leaving the room and checking things out without his wheelchair.

"I'm really useless," he said, looking at Diana with a bitter smile. "I'm no different from an invalid now, aren't I?"

It had been many days since he got into that car accident. He had never looked so heavy-hearted and sorrowful because of his injured legs.

Yet right now, he was upset with his disability for Diana's sake.

Sorrow spread in Diana's heart. The love Simon felt for her, his entire life, and his aspirations weighed upon her.

She felt so tired.

If she could, she really wanted to bury herself in Julian's embrace. She wanted nothing more than to hug him. One hug was enough to give her the courage to go on.

Alas, she no longer had a right to that.

She was the one who lost her right to hug him.

She had mistreated him.

That was why he agreed to getting engaged with Cecilia. Whether or not he had done it out of spite, the engagement was set in stone.

The thought made Diana's heart throb with pain.

It wasn’t because she lost her lover, but because of the hurt she caused Julian when she treated Simon at the expense of neglecting him.

Diana comforted Simon, forcing herself to smile. "No, you’re not. You'll definitely recover. When you can walk again, I'll accompany you to do anything you want."

Joy filled Simon’s eyes. "Really?"

Diana nodded. In an attempt to cover up the gaping hole in her heart, she kept on smiling. "Of course."

Julian stood at the door, looking at the smile on Diana's face. Her words rang in his head.

"When you can walk again, I'll accompany you to do anything you want."

Hah.

She didn't love him a single bit! She even gave Cecilia and him her blessings!
