Chapter 848


    “Mrs. Lay,” Julian ordered, “go and check if she’s dead. If she’s not dead, drag her inside. If she’s


    already dead from the heat, call the funeral home to collect the body!”


    When Diana came in, Julian was still shouting at the top of his lungs. The vast living room echoed with


    his displeasure.


    She hesitated.


    “Mrs. Lay…” Diana stood awkwardly in ce, her eyes filled with hesitation and anxiety. Since the


    paternity results came out, she had been running around non-stop, trying to enroll her children in


    kindergarten.


    She didn’t even have the time to sit down and think about it carefully. epting Julian as the biological


    father of her children came naturally.


    Now, after hearing Julian’s voice, the situation became clearer.


    At present, she and Julian were already divorced. However, they had two children. And now, she was


    activelying to acknowledge that he was their father.


    Yet, she didn’t even know what had happened between her and Julian in the first ce.


    The only thing she knew was what Nina had told her before; that she and Simon had betrayed Julian


    together. She even faked her death!


    These memories-or rather, bits and pieces of information she heard from Nina-suddenly became real at


    this moment.


    And now, she had gone through so much trouble just to see him for a moment. Her clothes had long


    been soaked by sweat. They stuck to her body like slimy squid ink, and she felt terribly ufortable.


    She was scared.


    Diana stood rigidly in ce, not moving.


    Seeing her standing there in a daze, not speaking or looking at anyone, Mrs. Lay grew anxious. ’Ms.


    Winnington, are you okay?”


    Did she really have heatstroke?


    As Julian still couldn’t hear any movement, he finally exited his study.


    The first thing he saw was her rosy face.


    It was obvious she was feeling warm.


    Her hair, sticking tightly to her scalp and forehead, looked as if it had been sshed with water.


    Clearly, it was a sunny day. She looked like a drenched kitten because she was sweating too much.


    Julian nced at Mrs. Lay, who immediately understood his intentions. She quickly brought Diana


    some cooling medicine.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    The smell of the medicine was pungent and choking.


    As soon as it was ced under Diana’s nose, she shivered. She lifted her head to look in Julian’s


    direction.


    “M-Mr. Fulcher…”


    Seeing her so weak, Julian immediately became nervous. Much of his impatience from before


    disappeared.


    “Mrs. Lay, hurry and help her onto the sofa. Don’t let her die in our house. It’d tarnish our reputation,”


    Julian said.


    Hearing his harsh words, Diana was convinced that pretending to have a heatstroke was the wisest


    thing she had done.


    Feigning illness was a bit shameless, but…


    At the moment, it was the best way for her to sessfully get close to him and find an opportunity to


    exin the paternity test to him.


    Diana nearly slumped on the sofa.


    She pushed away the medicine and said weakly, “Mrs. Lay, this medicine smells too strong. I can’t


    drink it…”


    She licked her dry lips and asked, “Could I just get some in cold water?”


    “You should drink the medicine first.”


    Mrs. Lay was convinced that Diana had a heatstroke. This summer was unusually hot, and Diana


    encountered it at the worst time. What’s more, she stood at the door waiting for a very longtime.


    Mrs. Lay was starting to me Julian. “Sir, if something really happens to her, what should we do?”


    She was about to pour water for Diana.


    Julian stopped Mrs. Lay, and said condescendingly, “Don’t let her drink anything. If something really


    happens, just bury her. What else can we do?”
