Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 970

Chapter 970

Before she reunited with Julian, she was clearly doing well in Stirling City.

She was independent, self-assured, and confident. She didn't know when it happened, but she began becoming reliant on Julian. It was an addiction she couldn't remove herself from.

But now, she had woken up from her stupor.

This time, she would never give in to him!

She would never, ever rely on him for comfort and peace of mind!

Meanwhile, Julian was in bed and staring at the ceiling in the master bedroom. The look in Cecilia’s eyes and her bony arms flashed in his mind non-stop.

Her arms were covered with injection marks and bruises. Clearly, she wouldn't have survived without getting hooked up to the nutrient solution.

Julian had asked Sue for details about Cecilia’s condition. She told him that Cecilia would usually behave crazily at home.

A bright and kind young lady like her would suddenly scream at the wall and her clothes, and call them vixens.

Sometimes, when Sue entered the room, Cecilia wouldn't even recognize Sue as her mother. She would just keep yelling at Sue, and call Sue a vixen.

She would even find dresses in all shades of blue in her closet, shred them, and throw them in the toilet. At times, she would suddenly pick up the shreds, and put it against her as she asked Sue, "Do I look pretty?''

Julian knew Cecilia's mind had stopped the day she was trying out the gown at the studio.

"Do I look pretty?" was probably the question she wanted to ask him the moment he saw her.

She probably didn’t expect him to splash paint on her without even opening the curtain.

Sue's words rang in his ears. "That expression on her face... She'd cry and laugh at the same time. If you had seen it, you’d probably find it creepy and bizarre.”

Sufferers of schizophrenia would often have that expression.

There would be moments it would send chills down people's spine.

In their world, there were no rules. One moment, they might be smiling at you-the next, they might bare their fangs at you, like a cat that had its tail stepped on by you.

"Her condition isn't very severe right now," Sue told Julian before he returned. 'The doctor we called also promised to keep her condition strictly confidential.

"Mr. Fulcher, please keep this confidential as well. Otherwise, it wouldn't be good for Cecilia's reputation.
