Chapter 1158


    Julian’s Stand-In Wife chapter 1158


    On the other hand, he could tolerate Nina making a mess all over the ce.


    He could even summon the energy to listen to her chatter about the boring gossip in the entertainment


    industry, even


    when he was exhausted after surgery.


    Julian handed him the box, and helped him sit down. “Here’s the medical kit. You can bandage


    yourself.”


    Vans was speechless.


    “Feeling more awake?” Julian asked.


    “Much better,” Vans replied.


    Whenever Vans picked up something rted to medicine, he would be focused. Even when he


    was the patient, his


    gaze was clearer than ever.


    At this moment, he sat on the couch, holding gauze and iodine, examining the wound on his foot.


    “You’re quite ruthless…”


    Julian brushed it off casually. “It’s not like this is your first day knowing me.”


    Indeed, Vans had known Julian for a long time. In his youth, Julian had used particrly ruthless


    means to support the


    Fulcher family after his grandfather’s death. Vans had witnessed it all.


    Over the years, he had been Julian’s most loyalpanion and was always by Julian’s side. Julian


    never asked him, but


    Vans kept improving his medical skills.


    Vans stopped the bleeding, and suddenly blurted out, “Don’t worry. I’m no worse than Oliver now.”


    In the past, Oliver was known as a medical genius. When he returned to the country, he garnered a lot


    of attention. His


    medical skills were legendary, which was why Vans had let him perform the heart surgery on Julian


    Unfortunately, Oliver didn’t stick around. He had to take over the Channing family.


    But Vans didn’t do that.


    Over the years, Vans had seen countless patients in the hospital and had be the hospital’s ace.


    His medical skills


    were solid, honed from all the patients he had treated. It was also because he had a very strong


    foundation.


    “This minor injury won’t defeat me,” he said.


    “I’ve never doubted that.” Julian saw that Vans had regained some of his spirits, and knew that Vans


    had pulled himself


    together. Smiling, he said, “I’m going to pick up Diana and see what she’s doing at the studio. Do you


    want toe


    along?”


    He added, “Nina’s also there.”


    They were together when he had spoken to Diana on the phone.


    Vans shook his head. “No, I need to meet Lina. My old man gave me a task.”


    If he couldn’tplete it…


    His mother would probably go to great lengths to seek death again.


    Thinking of that scenario, Vans felt tired. He closed his eyes for a moment.


    “Sometimes, I think that…it might be fine without a family.”


    Even so, he couldn’t abandon his mother. He couldn’t bear to leave her alone among the Stanleys, and


    suffer. She had


    put in so much effort to keep him in the family. He would never forget it.

    Julian leaned against the door frame. “What about Nina? Have you really decided to give her up?”


    If Nina got upset because of Vans, Diana might hold Julian ountable. In fact, she might get angry


    with him. Recalling


    her displeased tone on the phone, Julian decided to give Vans a reminder.


    “As long as I don’t go to her, Nina will understand,” Vans said.


    They were different from Diana and Julian.


    Diana and Julian’s love was a symbiotic rtionship; they would wither away without each other. They


    would try


    desperately to get back to each other’s side, regardless of anything.


    On the other hand, he and Nina…


    “We were originally from two different worlds.”


    Vans had given up many times before. He could do it again this time. The difference was, he and Nina


    wouldn’t have a


    future together anymore.


    “Maybe I shouldn’t have gone to see her again after Lina’s partyst time.”


    Nina’s three years of youth wouldn’t have been in vai
