Chapter 976


    Cecilia was a patient right now.


    Julian kept that in mind, and reminded himself that he was here to care for a patient. He truly hoped he


    could alleviate Cecilia’s condition.


    He yed along, and said smoothly, “Cecilia, you look very pretty.”


    Cecilia looked delighted, but Julian didn’t expect her to hold Noel even more tightly. She was clinging


    onto him.


    “Make him leave,” she suddenly said to Noel, clearly upset.” This is my room, and I don’t want him


    inside. It’s inappropriate.”


    She had behaved too inappropriately in the past.


    She was too proactive.


    That was how she fell into that vixen Diana’s trap, which made Julian ssh paint on her.


    She had to hide herself right now, so Julian wouldn’t see her!


    That was how she could be demure and appropriate.


    That was how she could make Julian like her.


    Cecilia’s eyes had turned sharp and keen as she spoke.


    She looked like she was on the verge of hiding under the bed once more if Julian insisted on staying in


    the room.


    The room was stuffy, and she even bumped her head just now.


    Noel noticed that she had a bruise on her forehead.


    Yet she didn’t find it painful at all, acting as if nothing had happened.


    How could someone be so foolish as to only have eyes for Mr. Fulcher, and forget about everything


    else?


    Oh, wait.


    She really had turned foolish now.


    Pity inevitably filled his eyes as he looked at Cecilia. “Mr. Fulcher…”


    This time, he pleaded with Julian to leave the room.


    Julian didn’t hesitate any longer. “Thanks for holding the fort.”


    He walked out of the door. He wanted to light a cigarette, but held himself back. In the end, he just


    yed with it in his hand.


    When Julian left this morning, Bettymented about the stench of smoke on him. From that moment


    on, he decided that he would quit smoking.


    But now, the desire to smoke came back to him again when he felt unsettled. Yet, he could only fiddle


    around with it to try to soothe his addiction.


    He wondered how Diana was holding up right now.


    Did Simon me her?


    Would she cry out of remorse, till her eyes be swollen?

    Sue saw him walking to and fro the corridor. Curious, she asked, “How is Cecilia? Where is Mr.


    Carter?”


    “He’s taking care of Ms. Jarvis in the room,” Julian replied honestly.


    Sue immediately became upset.


    “Julian Fulcher!”


    She had been tolerant of him for a long time.


    “If you’re unwilling to take care of our Cecilia, you can always reject us! We aren’t so shameless as to


    insist on you to bear the responsibility! You shouldn’t try to cate me by making use of your


    assistant!”


    Julian came here, did nothing, and made his assistant stay in the room with Cecilia. What was he trying


    to imply?


    Cecilia had gone mad, that was right.


    But Sue certainly hadn’t. She saw everything as clear as day!


    Before Julian had a chance to exin himself, they saw Cecilia hiding behind Noel as the two walked


    out of the room.


    “Who is she? She’s so fierce…” Cecilia said.


    “I’m your mother,” Sue said. She had seen her daughter exit the room, and wanted to pull Cecilia away


    from Noel.


    Much to Sue’s surprise, Cecilia shrunk back and pped her hand away. Cecilia wrapped her arms


    around Noel’s waist, and buried her face in his chest.


    “No!” she screamed. “I don’t want anyone else to touch me! Mommy, protect me!”


    She was skinny, but her body still felt soft and tender.
