Chapter 236
“Liliana, he‘s—”
Before Natalie could finish her sentence, Liliana interrupted her, “Dr. Nichols, do you want to say that Josiah is dead?”
A hint of paranoia flickered across her eyes when she continued, “He‘s not dead. Now, he‘s just badly injured and fell asleep. Once you heal his wounds, he‘ll wake up.”
Hearing that, Natalie gasped.
No one can come back from the dead. It‘s just impossible!
Liliana wrapped the scarf tightly around her body. As she thought of her past memories, there was a painful expression on her face. “My parents died because of
Julian. Then, he took a fańcy of me and asked me to be his woman. In order to protect me, my younger brother was killed by a so–called accident orchestrated by that bastard.”
Natalie could not tell what to feel.
Perhaps, those things were not the worst among the evil deeds Julian had done, but when a victim like Liliana gave an account of what she had experienced in person, it ‘still made Natalie feel suffocated.
“That was when Josiah appeared in front of me. He said he could take me away and save me. But how could I leave? I want to avenge my family! Hence, I seduced Julian and made him fall for me. In the end, I became his legally married wife. In order to protect me, Josiah lurked around Julian. When Julian‘s confidant found out what I had done and wanted to assassinate me, Josiah rushed out to protect me. He was seriously injured, and his body was covered in blood. Every doctor told me that he was beyond saving.”
Liliana‘s eyes reddened as she spoke.
Clenching her fists tightly, she added, “Who says he can‘t be cured? Those doctors are useless! They don‘t know how to save my beloved Josiah. Dr. Nichols, you‘re a miracle doctor. If you can cure those incurable diseases, you can definitely save Josiah too! Please help me! As long as you can save him, I‘ll give you everything. I can give you everything that Julian has. I don‘t need anything. I only want Josiah to be alive!”
