Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 17

Chapter 17

Diana’s mind had grown numb.

She could only clutch her lower abdomen tightly as tears streamed down her eyes.

It was a heartbreak that deprived her of all sanity, leaving her with only a mother’s instinct.

Her baby…

She was about to lose her baby!

This was the baby she had been looking forward to for so long!

Yet, he was about to be brutally murdered by his own father!

In her desperation, Diana seemed to have been endowed with infinite strength as she lunged toward Julian.

She jumped over the many doctors and pounced directly on Julian.

She hated him!

She hated the fact that Julian had turned a blind eye to her pleas for help when he was right beside her, and chose that woman instead of her over and over again!

Were it not for that, she wouldn’t have fallen into a coma due to a simple cold. He wouldn’t have found out that she was pregnant, and she would be able to protect her baby!

Diana clenched her teeth in anger. Hatred and resentment toward Julian filled her as she recalled his cruel tone when he announced that the baby must die. “Why did you marry me in the first place if you don’t love me? Why did you treat me so well during our marriage?!”

He let her think that she was the happiest woman in the world, but it was in fact all just a joke. A big, sick joke!

She punched the man in front of her frantically, fury and rage boiling within her as she yelled, “You’re heartless! You’re completely heartless!”

Julian, meanwhile, was a little confused.

It was true he let her down last night.

He shouldn’t have assumed that he could relax when her fever subsided. No one would have expected Diana to be suffering from type B influenza rather than a common cold. This disease mostly attacked the elderly, children, and pregnant women, with repeated high fever and body aches as the main symptoms.

Although Diana didn’t belong to those groups, her physique was indeed really weak.

Julian knew he shouldn’t have let Vans leave last night.

But no matter how much he tried to comfort Diana, she remained agitated. She seemed to be in a trance as tears streamed down her face.

Julian was puzzled. He grabbed her hand and yelled, “Diana! You’re getting too agitated!”

However, his harsh rebuke made her body tremble.

Diana’s eyes snapped wide open and she immediately looked around. She realized that everything around her was different compared to what she had seen earlier. The ward wasn’t pure white, but was filled with warm home decorations. It was the VIP suite in the hospital!

She gradually regained her senses upon realizing that everything she saw earlier was just a dream.

She had been too scared and desperate.

She was so scared, she even dreamt of Julian abandoning her after discovering the baby in her belly.

Fortunately, it was a dream.

Thank goodness it was just a dream…

Diana still felt anxious. Thinking of how frightened she had been when Julian’s fingers landed on her lower abdomen, her lingering fear resurfaced. Her face grew pale, and she raised her almond eyes to look at him. Her gaze was both grateful and resentful as she muttered, “Julian, you’re not that heartless after all…’

Rather, he simply couldn’t care less about her and the baby.

What she got was just his hypocrisy!

Nina, who had just come back from buying dinner, heard the commotion in the room and immediately barged in. “Diana!”

Fearing that Diana would misunderstand the situation and assume that her baby was gone, Nina took the initiative to confess everything to Julian.

Nina glanced at Diana. She touched her stomach and stroked her chest to adjust her breathing and signify that the baby was safe and sound, and that Julian did not know of the baby’s existence.

Fortunately, Diana understood Nina’s gestures.

Only then did Diana realize that she had exaggerated a little. The baby was only nine weeks old, and her lower abdomen was still relatively flat now. Vans was also on her side…

She had been confused as she was too concerned.

What’s more, Julian had always been looking forward to having a baby. In the past three years, they spent a lot of effort yet she failed to conceive. If Julian knew of the existence of the baby, he definitely wouldn’t be as cruel as he was in her dream.
