Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 848

"Mrs. Lay," Julian ordered, "go and check if she's dead. If she's not dead, drag her inside. If she's already dead from the heat, call the funeral home to collect the body!"

When Diana came in, Julian was still shouting at the top of his lungs. The vast living room echoed with his displeasure.

She hesitated.

"Mrs. Lay..." Diana stood awkwardly in place, her eyes filled with hesitation and anxiety. Since the paternity results came out, she had been running around non-stop, trying to enroll her children in kindergarten.

She didn’t even have the time to sit down and think about it carefully. Accepting Julian as the biological father of her children came naturally.

Now, after hearing Julian's voice, the situation became clearer.

At present, she and Julian were already divorced. However, they had two children. And now, she was actively coming to acknowledge that he was their father.

Yet, she didn't even know what had happened between her and Julian in the first place.

The only thing she knew was what Nina had told her before; that she and Simon had betrayed Julian together. She even faked her death!

These memories—or rather, bits and pieces of information she heard from Nina—suddenly became real at this moment.

And now, she had gone through so much trouble just to see him for a moment. Her clothes had long been soaked by sweat. They stuck to her body like slimy squid ink, and she felt terribly uncomfortable.

She was scared.

Diana stood rigidly in place, not moving.

Seeing her standing there in a daze, not speaking or looking at anyone, Mrs. Lay grew anxious. "Ms. Winnington, are you okay?"

Did she really have heatstroke?

As Julian still couldn't hear any movement, he finally exited his study.

The first thing he saw was her rosy face.

It was obvious she was feeling warm.
