Chapter 526 Always By Her Side


    "See? I told you I could save her." Wi smiled. "Do you believe me now? However, the effect of the


    remedy is only temporary. The virus will re-emerge in a week. In other words, you have a week to


    think carefully about whether you want to be with me or not. Otherwise, the second bottle of the


    special remedy..."


    The smile on Wi’s face broadened, but she did not finish her sentence.


    "Don''t get so cocky, you b*tch!” Oliver snarled. "I''ll throw you straight into prison the second we


    touch the ground and I’ll hurl every single form of torture I know at you. I don''t believe you will still


    laugh when that timees!”


    I already said that I''m scared of dying!


    However, I''m even more afraid of not getting Julian!" Wi barked. Then, a manic light entered her


    eyes. "Try me if you dare. As long as Julian says no to my condition, I''ll never save Susan! Ever!”


    "Let''s try it then," Oliver said, his voice emotionless.


    Julian had never once peeled his eyes away from the screen. He watched intently Susan, who had


    entered a deep sleep.


    There was a myriad of emotions flowing in the depths of his eyes.


    The airne soon arrived at Skyking City.


    Just like he had said, Oliver took Wi away the moment they touched the ground.


    Julian did not stop him either.


    He wanted to see whether Wi could bear all that torture or not.


    After Oliver took Wills away, Joseph headed to the embassy while Julian made a beeline for the


    laboratory.


    Susan’s condition had stabilized at the moment, and she had alreadye around. She leaned


    against the head of the bed, reading a book.


    Julian stood at the door, his body shaking slightly as he admired her soft and delicate profile.


    He only wanted Susan to live. That was the only reason he had been working so hard for so long.


    Right now, the sun fell gently upon her face. She held her head low, and there was an unbidden


    smile tugging at the tips of her lips. This was the best sight that Julian ever wanted to see in his life.


    Julian just stood there and watched her in silence. It was only when Susan raised her head from the


    book and twisted her stiffened neck that she noticed Julian.


    Her eyes glowed brightly in joy as she eximed, "Julian? You’ve returned?"


    Julian felt that his throat was raw. It took him a long while to open his mouth and reply softly, "Yeah,


    I''m back."


    "Is everything alright with your work?" Susan asked with a smile.


    "Yes, everything is alright,” Julian replied as he walked forward and took a seat beside Susan''s bed.


    Upon looking at the smile on Susan''s face, he could not help nting a kiss on her lips.


    Susan was startled by his sudden action, and the paleness on her face gave room to a pink blush of


    embarrassment. She pushed Julian away slightly. "What are you doing?”


    A faint smile formed at the corner of Julian''s lips. "Nothing. I just thought that we haven''t seen each


    other in a very long time.”


    "Really? It seems less than half a month," Susan said.


    "Half a month? Was it that short? Why do I feel like a century has passed?” Julian replied. Then, he


    grabbed Susan''s hand and held it in his palms. "It''s really hot outside, so why is your hand so cold?"


    "I have had cold hands and feet since I was born. I thought you already knew that," Susan said


    simply.


    "This means that you are still weak and you need to take care of your body more," Julian said as he


    continued to rub Susan''s hand.


    Susan did not reply. She just raised her head to look at him, and the smile on her face broadened.


    "Susie, you still haven''t recovered yet, so you have to rest more. Don''t read so many books," Julian


    said.


    "Don''t worry, I''m fine." Susan blinked. "I have been feeling very welltely. In fact, I have never felt


    so good before.”


    "Are you still gonna lie to me? You just had a high fever yesterday, and now you are telling me


    you’re feeling very well today?'' Julian asked, causing Susan to rpse into a trance.


    However, she soon snapped back to reality and pouted her lips. "How did you know that? Didn’t I


    already tell them not to tell you?"


    Julian was tickled pink, but at the same time, he felt sad. He pitched his voice low and said, "Please


    forgive me for not staying by your side when you were sick, Susie."


    Julian''s voice wasden with so much guilt that it made Susan''s heart melt. Her eyes grew soft as


    she said tenderly, “Well, you didn''t have a choice. This is a very important job, isn''t it? Besides,


    there are so many excellent doctors here, and there is nothing you could have done even if you had


    stayed by my side when ites to this illness, so don''t feel too bad about it.”


    Susan had always been really considerate, which made Julian get assaulted by yet another pang of


    guilt.


    There were times when he felt that it was a mistake for them to be together.


    If Susan married an ordinary man, he would give her a normal life and she would not have to go


    through so many ups and downs. She would live her life with her husband happily, like most people


    did.


    As for him, he had brought her nothing but suffering. Even though he had sworn that he would take


    care of her forever and that he would not let her suffer any injustice, it seemed to him that he had


    not been upholding his end of the bargain so far.


    He even began to wonder if it would be better for Susan to stay away from him.


    "What''s wrong with you, Julian?" Susan asked curiously when she saw that Julian was behaving


    strangely.


    "Ah, nothing. I''m just a little tired." Julian shook his head. "Susie, please tell me when you''re sick


    next time. Otherwise, I''ll be worried about you."


    "Alright, alright. I get it," Susan replied with a smile.


    Julian looked at her in silence and pulled her into his embrace.


    None of them told Chesney, Lucas, and Susan’s family about her fever.


    Julian had told Oliver to keep his lips sealed as well.


    Therefore, nobody other than Julian visited Susan while she was staying in the hospital.

    Oliver had tried everything he could to make Wi speak. He had even hired the most well-known


    expert in the country to torture her in the most excruciating way but to no avail.


    She seemed to know that they would not dare kill her, so no matter how much pain she felt, she


    gritted her teeth and braced through it.


    "How is it going?”


    Julian, who was standing in a quiet corner, called Oliver.


    "We have tried everything we could, but the woman refuses to speak," Oliver said, sounding


    exhausted.


    "Four days have passed.” Julian''s eyes were gloomy. "We have only three days left before the virus


    re-emerges."


    "Three days..." Oliver gnashed his teeth tightly. "Don''t worry. I will do everything I can to make her


    speak."


    Susan was his younger sister, so there was no way Oliver would let her die before his eyes.


    At the same time, Wi''s condition was


    cruel.


    It had taken Julian and Susan a lot of effort to mend their rtionship, and he knew very well how


    much courage Susan had needed to make up with Julian.


    If Julian left her again, he was certain that Susan would crack this time.


    Oliver did not want Susan to die, but he did not want her to copse either.


    Julian nodded silently and then hung up the call.


    He did not go and visit Wi.


    There were so many experts there, and their interrogation techniques were much better than his. If


    even they could not make Wi speak, the result would be the same even if he went.


    Right now, he just wanted to stay by


    Susan''s side.
