Chapter 521


    After Kate finished speaking, she hurriedly nced behind. Soon, someone brought her a pile of


    nutrient supplements.


    Kate held them to her chest and walked past Diana coldly.


    How ridiculous!


    Diana watched the older woman’s retreating back with a bitter smile.


    She knew Kate would be biased, but she hadn’t considered the extent of thetter’s tant favoritism.


    Even after making it clear that Diana’s disappearance had been deliberate, Kate could still act as if


    nothing had happened!


    She was truly…


    A heartless person.


    Diana was ashamed to have such wicked parents.


    Still, she wanted to see if Kate would have even a moment of regret or heartache for her, or if Kate


    would turn around to spare her a nce.


    So, she followed them.


    She followed them until she saw them enter Ka’s ward with a pile of nutrient supplements before


    returning to her own room.


    It was pointless to keep hoping.


    She should stop.


    For Diana, familial and romantic love were truly the cruelest things in this world.


    Unfortunately, fate seemed to enjoy arranging these painful encounters for her.


    Diana sat by the bedside and pondered about the photo Oliver had given her. The bitter smile returned


    to her lips once more.


    She wouldn’t acknowledge Julian, or let him misunderstand that she wanted to gain something from


    him through this favor.


    She would just wait patiently in the ward.


    She would wait for Julian toe to settle ounts with her over what she had done to Ka.


    But even as time passed, Julian never did show up.


    Noel didn’t understand. ‘Sir, the madam has already woken up. Why don’t you go and see her?”


    To stay by someone’s side when they were unconscious and then disappear when that person


    regained consciousness… It didn’t seem like the actions of one who was pursuing the other.


    Instead, it seemed like one who was intentionally hiding their feelings and avoiding his object of


    affection.


    “And even… Even when Mr. Winnington came, you didn’t step in to see what was happening.”


    “Nothing happened to her,” Julian said, finally responding to Noel.


    Although they were standing far away at the time, they could still see how passive James and Kate had


    been acting.


    As long as Diana wasn’t being harassed, Julian wouldn’t rush to her side. He knew his presence would


    make her feel ufortable.


    Noel sighed. He had never seen Julian acting so cautiously before. With how the man was acting, Noel


    didn’t push the matter anymore for fear of upsetting his boss.


    Instead, he asked, “What about Miss Ka?”


    “Do as I said.’


    Julian had promised to restore her throat, but her face… There was no need to return it to its original


    state.


    There was also no need for Ka to maintain such a high resemnce to Diana.


    “As soon as Ka intends to ask forpensation, report to me immediately.”


    “Understood,’ Noel replied. “And what about madam?”


    “I won’t see her for now,” Julian said.


    When he closed his eyes, the scene of Diana fainting in his arms beforeing to the hospital would


    rey in his mind.


    This wasn’t the first time Diana had fainted since Ka returned to the country, and Julian didn’t want


    another repeat of it.


    The best solution, for now, was to not meet her so she wouldn’t be uneasy.

    Diana waited for Julian in the ward for a long time.


    She waited from dawn till dusk, yet she still didn’t see his figure.


    It was just as she had expected.


    In the end, the only one he cared about most was Ka.


    She was grateful she hadn’t brought out that photo and revealed that she had once saved him.


    Otherwise, what awaited her would surely only be utter humiliation.
