Chapter 279
La Cory was only 19 years old. Although she was scheming, she was nothingpared to people
like Julian Parks, who had many years of experience on this kind of battlefield. She had no idea there
was a deeper meaning behind Julian’s question. She followed the prenned script and regurgitated
her lines with a sobbing voice, “Julian… I… I don’t know why I’m here either. I was on my way to school
when someone inexplicably knocked me out with a stick. When I woke up, I found out I had been
kidnapped. Boo hoo…” At this moment, Grandpa Samuel groaned in pain again. Julian panicked.
“Grandpa!” He saw at once that Grandpa Samuel’s leg was bleeding. His eyes turned bloodshot and he
uttered through tightly gritted teeth, “Dammit!” Pow!

Julian sent another flying kick to one of the men who was holding onto Grandpa Samuel earlier. The
kick was so vicious that it sent the man flying and he smashed into the wall with a loud crash. Initially,
the two men were crouching on the ground, waiting for an opportunity tounch a sneak attack on
Julian. In the end, after one of them was kicked so hard that he cried out in pain, the other person
instantly lost the courage to approach again. He stepped back cautiously, afraid of angering Julian.
However, pretending to be docile at this point could no longer mollify Julian’s anger. Hended another
kick on the man who was trying to sneak away and sent him flying too. Immediately after that, his sharp
gaze shot toward the woman in the ck butterfly mask. The woman’s eyes widened slightly in fear.
“Julian…” Grandpa Samuel saw that Julian seemed to have gone berserk, and was afraid that he
would lose all rationality. In his opinion, their current situation was already very advantageous. Their
best course of action now was to leave immediately and then call the police.
Whether these people were kidnappers or murderers, they would be handed over to the police. Julian
shouldn’t be taking things into his own hands and getting his hands stained with blood in the process.
“Grandpa…” Tears welled up in Julian’s eyes. Annalise knew that Julian was too worried about
Grandpa Samuel now. He was no longer able to remain calm and rational. She immediately signaled
with her eye to Trevor to take over the dagger in her hand. Trevor took over the dagger at once and
held the woman in the ck butterfly mask hostage. Annalise rushed over and squatted down. She
immediately deployed the silver needles to help Grandpa Samuel stop the bleeding.
After piercing both his legs with a few needles, she turned to Julian andforted him. “Grandpa is
fine. It’s my fault for not protecting Grandpa well.” Julian’s throat quivered once. He reached out and
grabbed Annalise’s hand wordlessly. He simply held her hand tightly. It was not Annalise who had not
protected Grandpa Samuel well. It was Julian himself. The moment he pounced on Grandpa Samuel
and rescued him, he saw Annalise. When he saw her holding the dagger against the masked woman’s
neck, he noticed that her expression was so vignt and her concentration was so highly focused. She
had been battling with the kidnappers all the while. Yet she was a pregnant woman!
At that juncture, Julian’s heart was all tensed up Julian was extremely thankful that Annalise was
unharmed at that moment. He was even more gratified to see that she had the upper hand. When he
saw that Annalise was fine, he then immediately checked Grandpa Samuel’s condition. Upon hearing
La crying for help, Julian felt extremely disgusted. Regardless of whether she was his savior or not,
at this moment, he did not have the mood to care about her, even if it made him look heartless and
callous. When Julian held her hand tightly, Annalise suddenly felt at ease. She said to himfortingly,
“It’s alright. I’ll take care of Grandpa’s injuries!” “Do you feel… okay?” Julian asked. His throat felt a little
tight.
Annalise was pregnant. First, she rushed to the office of Caretech Pharmaceutical Company. Now, she
had rushed here and even held her adversary hostage. Needless to say, she must have gone through
quite a battle. “I’m fine. Don’t worry,” Annalise said. In order to make Julian feel more at ease, she said
softly, “The baby is fine too. He’s very obedient. Don’t worry!” “Mm-hmm.” Julian tightened his grip on
Annalise’s hand. He had calmed downpletely. He then said to Annalise, “Let’s leave first!” He
picked up Grandpa Samuel and stood up. Next, he turned to Trevor and said, “Death for the
mastermind!” Julian, save me…” La immediately cried out.
Why didn’t they follow the seript? The woman in the ck butterfly mask was also shocked. Julian
Parks didn’t care about his elusive love anymore? Was it because he had recognized it wasn’t her?
Impossible! That was absolutely impossible! She immediately signaled to La with her eyes. La
immediately cried out in despair, “Julian, have you forgotten that I saved you?” Julian stopped in his
tracks and turned to look at La with a steely gaze while carrying Grandpa Samuel. When she saw
that she had gotten Julian’s attention, La immediately cried,
“Twelve years ago, at Yogan railway station, your asthma suddenly acted You copsed to the ground,
and I helped to perform acupuncture on you…” Julian Parks interrupted her, “Which day was it?” La
said, “I’don’t remember what day it was, but remember that it was in the month of May. The weather
was still a little cold, and there were willow catkins fluttering in the air. That day, the temperature
dropped suddenly, and your body couldn’t cope. Ah, I remember now. It was a Wednesday.”
In reality, when Nancy Zeller asked La to put up this act, she had told La the exact date.
However, making up such details would make the story sound more authentic. After all, if she
remembered the day from 12 years ago so clearly, it would seem too fake. Nancy knew the details so
well because her aunt Sybil Xander had a habit of keeping a diary. Sybil’s writing was not good, but she
was great at keeping track of day-to-day ounts of events. She would even record what happened to
her very close friends, or if they shared some important or interesting matter with her, she would record
all of them down.
Moreover, she would even record the minute details. Back then, there was a small image in Sybil’s
diary that depicted the method of holding the acupuncture needle with the thumb and middle finger
La had practiced for quite a while to master this technique. When Annalise heard La’s words, she
looked at Julian with a peculiar expression. “Twelve years ago, at Yogan City?” When Julian saw
Annalise’s peculiar expression, he immediately panicked. “Annalise, let’s go. I’ll exin these things to
youter.” He must not let Annalise misunderstand him. Before he met Annalise, Julian had been
searching for his savior.
After getting to know Annalise, he stopped looking for her. When he found out that his savior was La
Cory, Julian only wanted Trevor to take care of her. This was to repay her for saving his life, in a sense.
Other than that, he really did not have any other thoughts. “12 years ago, Yogan railway station,
asthma, May?” Annalise looked at Julian with an expression that seemed to have be more
complicated. There was a glint of curious probing in the midst of thatplex expression. In the past,
Annalise had also saved a very refined, handsome young man with a squeaky-clean disposition at
Yogan railway station.
That was her first time going on a long trip, so she had a deep impression of it. That day was
Wednesday. Annalise remembered it was Wednesday because she had checked the calendar before
going out as she was so excited. This was the first time she had saved someone outside, and she had
even asked Joseph Quigley to give her credit for this deed. Joseph was waiting for an opportunity to
educate her. He said that if she wanted to save more people, she had to study harder. Could it be that
coincidental? Julian also had asthma and was saved by another girl? Or could it be that the person she
saved back then was actually Julian Parks? Was someone impersonating Annalise now?
