Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 829

However, this wasn’t something Diana felt proud of. Conversely, as his mother, it made her rather sad.

She was unable to protect her two darlings and allow them to live without a care in the world.

Sean soon returned with their meals. He glanced at his sister, who was still fast asleep, his heart aching for her. “Mommy, do you think Betty will get better?”

Diana had no idea.

In the following days, she cooperated very well with the doctors.

Initially, she was expected to need one month to get better. However, Diana cared for herself so well that she almost fully recovered in a little over two weeks.

Unfortunately, things didn’t look up for Betty.

She often sat in a daze, confused by the words of the people around her. She often struggled with expressing herself. She was worlds apart from her lively and adorable self.

Diana would read bedtime stories to Betty every night before turning in for the night.

But now, Betty wouldn’t even respond to her.

In the past, Betty would always hug Diana, kiss her, and wish her a good night after Diana was done reading bedtime stories.

But now, no matter what Diana said, Betty gave her no response.

Betty wouldn’t call Diana “Mommy”, hug her, or rub her body against hers like a cute little rabbit.

Every night, Diana would ask herself repeatedly why she came to Richburgh in the first place. Why did she force Zachary to apologize to her? Why…was she so incapable of protecting her own children?

No one could give her an answer.

No one could comfort her.

At the last follow-up consultation, the doctor said that it was impossible for Betty to recover in the short-term.

Diana had to provide Betty with a relaxing and tolerant environment that wouldn’t put any stress on Betty's psyche.

Diana thought about it, and decided to return to Stirling City earlier than planned.

She wanted to call Simon, and update him about everything that had happened.

Upon recalling Nina and Zachary’s words, however, she grew frightened.
