Chapter 1000


    Diana was stunned for a moment.She gripped her shirt so tightly, she almost tore it.It took her


    everything she had to keep listening to him.


    "Diana, Cecilia’s a patient."


    His brows were furrowed, as if Diana was the one hurting Cecilia.

    And yet, she was clearly the one being hurt.She was fast asleep when she was suddenly dragged to


    the floor.She even got hit over the head.


    Right now, she didn’t even know whether she had sustained a head injury.


    Bruises were starting to appear on her arms and legs where she had been bound, but the pain was


    nothingpared to the pain in her heart.


    "Try to be understanding."


    Damn his understanding! Why couldn''t he objectively, fairly, and reasonably judge who''s in the right


    and wrong?! Why did she have to bear with all these, just because Cecilia was sick? Diana knew she


    should keep silent right now.


    She knew she shouldn''t argue with Julian right now.


    Even so, she couldn''t hold herself back—not because she couldn''t take the indignation or the pain


    inflicted on her, but because she couldn''t take how biased Julian was to another woman! She took a


    deep breath, and looked at this cold, unyielding man before her.


    "I can’t be understanding toward her."


    "What do you mean?"


    "You asked me to be understanding with her, but I can’t do that at all!"


    She showed him the marks on her body, and tears welled up in her eyes.


    "I''m the victim here! Even if I can’t get an apology from her, shouldn''t I at least receive some form of


    comfort?"


    "Oh?" Julian''s brows arched.He stared at her in silence.


    Diana gained a bit more courage to continue speaking."What''s more, Cecilia might not really be


    insane."


    She nced at Cecilia standing at the door and, in hushed tones, told Julian what Cecilia had said


    earlier—about insane people not needing to bear criminal consequences for their actions.


    The moment she said it, Julian sneered and pressed her against a cupboard.


    Her back hit the handle of the cupboard.


    She winced in pain, and tears fell from her eyes.


    Julian pretended not to see the pain he caused her.


    "Don''t say such ridiculous things ever again!" he yelled.


    "I can defend Cecilia as much as you''re allowed to defend Simon!"


    His voice was as strong as a wave crashing in the ocean, so impactful it shook her to the core.


    Regret enveloped Diana.


    That''s right.


    Before Julian treated her like this, she herself had been biased in her treatment toward him for many


    days.


    That was despite knowing that Julian wasn''t two-faced.


    He couldn''t behave a certain way before her, and then inapletely different way before Simon.


    However, she chose to believe Simon because his legs were injured, and because he could never


    stand for the rest of his life.


    And now...


    It was Julian’s turn to treat her like this.


    Because Cecilia was crazy.


    She had to give way and tolerate everything Cecilia did.


    "Your back..."


    She suddenly remembered that he had hit his back in the kitchen that day.


    She had personally bandaged the wound for him.


    But since then, she hadn''t shown him any concern whatsoever.


    What was the point of showing him concern now? Diana swallowed the rest of her words, and silently


    rubbed her own back.


    She hit her back just now, too.


    She probably skinned it as well.


    Instead of feeling the pain, she was thankful instead.
