Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1447

The numbers on the screen never moved, too.

Sean sat on the floor as he applied ointment on his wounds. He did as Lucas told him, and did something to Diana’s phone signal.

He did it in cooperation with the professor, to remind Julian to take care of his wife.

However, Sean had thought about it. Lucas was an outsider, after all. His words couldn’t be entirely trusted. Therefore, he decided to play some tricks of his own, like causing some commonly-seen faults in the hotel, including stopping an elevator from operating.

If Lucas had other ulterior motives or intended to harm Diana, Sean hoped that Diana would realize something was off upon encountering those faults.

He couldn’t do anything in here right now. Although he didn’t know what was happening outside, not causing trouble to Daddy and Mommy was his priority.

As it turned out, Diana did realize something was wrong.

This hotel felt just like a huge tomb to her.

It was too quiet.

So quiet that it was eerie.

Her stomach felt much better, and the sense of urgency had eased by much.

Diana stood up and walked to the elevator. After confirming that there was no sign indicating an elevator fault, she lifted her hand and pressed the button.

She pressed the button for the first floor.

Right now, it wasn’t just about finding someone to ask about the phone signal. She had to check out the reception and ask if something had happened to the hotel. Otherwise, how could there possibly be no one around?

When she reached the first floor, the grand lobby greeted her.

Diana remembered that this place was crowded when she first arrived to check in. She had to wait for a while with Betty before she could receive the card for the room she had booked in advance.

But right now, the lobby was empty except for one person seated at the reception, who was dozing off.

This didn’t look normal.

Diana walked toward the receptionist. “Hello.”

The receptionist tapped her phone. After a while, she said, “I have no issues with mine.”

She shook her own phone, then asked her other colleagues. The conclusion they arrived at was that Diana’s phone was the only one with issues.

Did both hers and Betty’s phones malfunction at the same time?

Diana thought about it, then left the reception. She wanted to check things out outside the hotel and find a phone shop within sight.

She didn’t feel assured leaving Betty sleeping upstairs all alone. If there was a phone shop nearby, she could call for a courier and a brand-new phone could be delivered to her within ten minutes.

The moment she stood at the entrance of the hotel, she saw James hurrying over to her.

“Ms. Winnington, do you need a ride?”

No matter how humble James was behaving right now and how sincere he looked, Diana couldn’t bring herself to smile at him. In fact, she felt even more disgusted with his overly-humble facade.

“No need.”
