Chapter 611
“Diana!” Julian yelled.
Why wasn’t she answering?
After going through so much, was she still refusing to believe his feelings?!
Or could it be…
Did she only feel gratitude toward him for taking the blow for her, and didn’t actually love him?
Julian couldn’t help but feel nervous. His inky eyes became gloomy, as if a dark cloud was looming
over his head.
Both him and Oliver waited for her answer with bated breath.
Diana became even more flustered once she realized this. She couldn’t say anything for a few
moments, as she couldn’t find the words to answer in a way that would satisfy them both.
“Diana…” Julian repeated, not able to wait any longer.
He desperately needed to confirm her feelings and wanted her to acknowledge them.
Especially in front of Oliver.
Seeing that calling her name didn’t work and that Diana refused to speak, Julian resorted to ying the
victim again. He furrowed his brows and groaned, as if the pain in his body had intensified by a
hundredfold and stared at Diana with pleading eyes.
Though Diana knew the man was only feigning the pain he felt, she couldn’t bring herself to say
anything that would hurt him.
Finally, she gave Oliver an apologetic look and said, “I do.”
She took a deep breath, not only answering Oliver’s question, but also using this chance to once again
make her feelings clear to him.
She couldn’t string him along any longer.
“I really like him a lot.”
There was resolution and determination in her tone as she emphasized her feelings.
It left no room for doubt.
Julian’s pinched expression gradually rxed. When he next spoke, there was tenderness, affection,
and even triumph in his voice. “Diana, I’m fine now.”
He was trying to act cute before her.
Diana couldn’t tolerate Julian’s antics any longer and red at him before snapping sarcastically, “Well,
isn’t that great that you’re not in pain anymore?”
Then, she sighed and looked at the slightly dazed Oliver. “Dr. Channing, please let me walk you out.”
Oliver had already finished his examination and confirmed that Jin was fine. Diana was afraid that if
they stayed in the same room any longer, Julian woulde up with more
ways to make Oliver ufortable.
Oliver nodded. “Thank you.”
Julian was upset that Diana and Oliver were going to leave his sight and was about to object, but Diana
shot him a fierce re to silence him.
The meaning behind her re was clear.
She was telling him not to push his luck.
Due to Diana’s reprimand, Julian immediately restrained himself. However, there was tenderness in his
eyes and none of his usual coldness.
Diana shivered at the look, though she couldn’t help the smile that blossomed on her lips. It was like
spring had dawned on her face, bringing forth a vibrant cheerfulness.

It was a look she never had when she was with Oliver.
Once they walked out of the ward, Oliver looked at her. A calm and soothing look had reced the pain
in his eyes as he said, “It’s fine.”
He took the initiative to reassure Diana as he continued,” Julian has just got out from grave danger, so
it’s normal for him to be acting emotional.”
Once again, Oliver was putting the needs and considerations of others before himself.
Diana was at a loss for words to express her apologies and gratitude. There was a range of
complicated emotions that shed through her face.
But it was Oliver who relieved her again.
“It really is okay,” he said with a smile. “I’ve already decided that I’ll let go of my feelings for you.”
Diana looked up in shock after he finished speaking, unable to hide the joy in her eyes.
The delight in her eyes was akin to a knife to his heart, deeply hurting Oliver.
He had never felt as miserable as now from being rejected and ignored so many times by her before,
as he had long suspected that this love affair between them was only his one-sided act.
Even after Diana’s divorce, when he had the right to properly pursue her, he hadn’t dared hope she
would be able to move on quickly from her previous rtionship.
