Sweat covered Noel’s brows. The president’s assistant, who had always been calm and composed, looked to be in a deep state of panic.
Julian’s face turned hard. “Did something happen to Grandma?”
Noel immediately nodded at Julian’s question. “Sir, you… You…”
He wanted to tell Julian to quickly go and see her.
Madam Fulcher was dying!
However, the sight of the tubes and needles sticking out of Julian’s body made him swallow those words back. He could only turn to Diana, his face fraught with panic.
Because of Mr. Carter, Diana had some hard feelings against Noel.
But at this moment, she could understand the look in his eyes immediately.
Something had happened to Grandma.
Panic filled her heart.
The image of Grandma saying that she would put on an act before Hans right before Diana left her flashed in Diana’s mind.
At that point, Grandma’s eyes looked unfocused and her breathing was unsteady. But when Hans left, Grandma claimed that she was putting on an act and urged Diana to flee.
Now that Diana thought about it, was Grandma lying about putting on an act and was in fact experiencing the symptoms of her condition?
Remorse filled her heart and when she opened her mouth to speak again, her voice was trembling. “Ju…Julian.”
She knew she shouldn’t call out to him, but her mind was in a mess and huge waves of regret were drowning her.
She could only cling onto him for strength.
Upon seeing both Noel and Diana lose their senses, Julian knew something major had happened.
“Where is Grandma right now?” Things just kept happening, wave after wave!
Unease crept into his heart once again as he yelled loudly at the silent Noel, who looked like he was put in a difficult spot. “Where is she?!”
Noel snapped back to attention at Julian’s shout. “S…Sir. Madam Fulcher was sent to the hospital, but she’s in a terrible state, especially mentally…”
He subconsciously turned to look at Diana, “Madam, you…”
