Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 548

Chapter 548

Of course not.

It had only been a rhetorical question.

But seeing Julian's excitement, Diana couldn't help but respond obediently, "Yes. It was a test to see if you would do it.’

Julian chuckled and didn't reply further. He would show her his sincerity through his actions once they returned home.

In the hospital after Kayla's tantrum, not only was the attending doctor changed, even the nurse who previously attended to her was switched out.

The new nurse was a greenhorn with little experience under her belt. When she came to Kayla's room, she avoided looking at Kayla after seeing the latter's horrendously disfigured face. She didn’t even dare meet Kayla's eyes when she first disinfected the wound.

This annoyed Kayla, who exploded in rage and lashed out on the spot. She only stopped when the nurse's face was red and swollen.

Since then, even the most basic task of changing the bandage was taken over by the hospital's dean.

Kayla enjoyed her status where no one dared to criticize her, and her longing to be Mrs. Fulcher grew even stronger.

"How much longer do I have to stay in the hospital?" she asked the dean.

The dean was well-informed of her condition and answered readily, "At least three more days. Your face has recovered well, but only to the extent of being decent...after the disfigurement.’

Kayla's skin had been soaked in saltwater for a long time, and not even the heavens would be able to save her unless she underwent skin graft surgery after recovering.

However, the scars on Kayla's face were in a delicate position; close to her facial and oral nerves. Even with surgery, they would require a plastic surgery specialist to ensure no mistakes or accidents would occur during the process.

Regardless, it wouldn't be possible to do something like that in the next year due to the extent of her injuries.

Kayla knew how terrible her wounds were. Every time she thought about her pitiful state, she couldn't help but wish that she could tear Diana apart with her bare hands one day!

"Then arrange for my discharge after three days. I don't want to stay here another day longer!" Kayla demanded.

She needed to go to the company and quickly direct all her resources to the Winnington family to strengthen her position, as well as give James more benefits to ensure Diana couldn't harm a hair on them.

The hospital dean agreed. "Shall I inform Mr. Fulcher as well?"

Kayla pondered for a moment and said, "Yes. Go ahead."
