Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1209

Chapter 1209

But right now, she couldn't understand even if she wanted to.

Jim Hughes's appearance meant that he didn't want anyone interfering in his affairs.

Unless...

One had a death wish.

Jim was adept at the use of drugs. Although his pharmaceutical research could save lives, it could also kill in silence.

Sue and her husband exchanged glances. They feared the Hughes family deeply, and immediately understood each other's thoughts with one look.

Be it Diana or Julian, anyone who got involved with Jim Hughes was someone they had to avoid and pretend to not know.

As for the information Diana wanted... Sue could say nothing about that.

Sue smiled.

"Of course. I didn't know Ms. Winnington was pregnant. Had I known, I would never have made her kneel." With that, she apologized to Diana. "I’m so sorry. I won’t treat you that way again next time."

Diana felt something strange the moment this man appeared, but she couldn’t put her finger on it. Rather than a doctor, he seemed more like a deity who had control over lives.

He placed Diana on a stool, and gently applied antiseptic lotion on her forehead.

He completely ignored Sue throughout the entire process, but that didn't anger her at all. Instead, she stood at the side quietly, ready to be at his beck and call.

Jim Hughes...

This was his first time coming to Richburgh from Jacroaf. He didn't expect to find himself at the Jarvises' residence.

Sue and her husband stood in trepidation, giving their all to be the best hosts for Jim.

They watched Jim treating everyone like they were invisible upon seeing Diana. Nobody thought that he was being arrogant, and Diana found it awkward.

This man...seemed to be paying her too much attention.
