Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 746

Mrs. Lay looked back hastily upon hearing his voice. Her pudgy face was etched with fear. “S…Sir…”

Her tongue seemed tied, and it took a Herculean effort for her to put together a complete sentence.

Julian could only look in the direction her finger was pointing toward.

She was pointing toward the television.

It was reporting on a piece of breaking news. “In today’s news, a huge car accident occurred in the south of the city. According to witnesses, a pregnant lady was in the car. Nearby surveillance cameras captured photographic footage of her.”

The photo was blown up on screen at the next moment.

It was Diana.

Julian’s eyes widened, and he stood silent as if he had lost his tongue.

He remained unmoving like a block of stone.

His reaction frightened Mrs. Lay so much that she snapped back from her own fear and gently tugged at Julian’s shirt. “Sir, Sir?”

In a daze, Julian said, “Huh?”

He looked at Mrs. Lay, as if nothing had happened. “What did you call me for?”

The moment he asked that, blood began trickling from his nose.

Very soon, the blood began gushing forth.

Mrs. Lay panicked; she ran to the dining table to grab some napkins and rushed back to hand them to Julian. “Sir, your nose is bleeding!”

Julian looked as though all of his five senses had shut down. He didn’t even reach out to take the napkins from Mrs. Lay, and simply stared blankly at the television screen. “Mrs. Lay, what did the news just report about?”

Diana…was dead?

How could that be?

“Sir! Wipe away the blood! Wipe it away first!” The sight of the blood flowing from his nose made Mrs. Lay so anxious that her voice had grown a pitch higher.

To their utter helplessness, the reporter featured on television went on, “We found an identification card on the deceased. Her name is Diana Winnington. If anybody knows the deceased, please contact us immediately.”

Crash!
