Chapter 1220
Diana leaned against Julian’s chest, gasping for breath. Her small face was flushed from exhaustion.
Julian feared hurting her with too much movement, so he quickly resumed massaging her to rx her
muscles.
Dianay half-reclined on the bed,fortably enjoying the fruits ced within her reach.
“Is your knee hurting?” Julian asked.
He originally hesitated to bring up the topic, but he couldn’t hold back.
“In the future, don’t kneel for anyone. If I’m not around, let Noel handle things. If Noel can’t handle it,
just leave it be. You can’t continue to neglect yourself like this.”
He held her knee, gently moving it back and forth. What Diana had suffered in the Jarvises’ residence
was nothingpared to the emotional turmoil she was experiencing now.
A spark of defiance lit up in her eyes. In Julian’s presence, she was undoubtedly the boss, and she
adopted amanding tone.
“What are you implying? Should I just ignore you if you get into trouble in the future? Am I that
heartless in your eyes?”
Julian’s hands never stopped massaging her, but his voice suddenly turned mncholic. “I’d rather you
were heartless.”
If she was heartless, she wouldn’t have kneeled. She wouldn’t have injured herself on the forehead.
She wouldn’t have been running around while pregnant.
“Anyway, once I’m gone, our considerable wealth will all be yours. What are you afraid of? Just don’t
bother with me anymore.”
The more Julian spoke, the more out of ce it felt.
Diana became furious, and refused to let him continue massaging. She raised her foot and ced it on
his neck.” Go ahead and die! If you die, it’ll be just me and the children. Heartless scum.”
Hearing her unusual tone, Julian knew she was genuinely angry. He dared not say anything more that
might upset her. Instead, he focused on her belly.
Rubbing it gently, he said, “I don’t want to die. I won’t die so easily. I’m just genuinely worried about
you. I can’t be with you every moment.”
At a time he couldn’t ensure his own safety, he hoped she wouldn’t do anything risky. Her primary duty
should be to protect herself and the children.
“Do you regret remarrying me?” Julian asked.
“What’s wrong with you today?”
Diana sensed that something was amiss, and rolled over to press him beneath her. She held his
cheeks between her hands and asked, “Why do you keep talking about so many random things today?
Is it a side effect of Professor Hughes’s medication?”
“It has nothing to do with that.”
Julian had been feeling quitefortable after taking the medication so far, although he remained wary
of Jim’s sudden appearance.
At the moment, he had no other option but to seek Jim’s assistance. These unapproved drugs flowing
in his bloodstream did pose significant threats.
However, his priority was to stay alive to address other matters.
“What is it, then?”
“After Professor Lemmington’s passing, Mrs. Lemmington had a tough time.”
It wasn’t about material hardships, but rather, emotional struggles.
“When I returned home today, I keep feeling anxious. I thought that if I really died by Enzo’s hand, then
you and the children… You…”
“Stop talking.”
Diana nestled in his arms, not moving. She held onto him tightly, as if she had found the safest ce in
the world.
“You’ll be fine. I won’t let anything happen to you. I’ll take this chance to ask Professor Hughes to help
you thoroughly detox, and remove all those toxic substances from your body.”
But then, Diana suddenly sat up.
“Wait a minute.”

Julian frowned. “What’s wrong?”
“Why did you take the pill Enzo gave you?”
Given Julian’s character, even if Enzo held the twins as bargaining chips, he could still escape. It was
hard to believe he would willingly take the pill.
“I’ve already told you,” Julian replied. “Enzo threatened Sean. If I didn’t take the medication, Sean
would worry about you.”
“That’s not it.” Diana didn’t believe it. She got up, and kissed him on the face.
“You better tell me the real reason you took the pill.”
Julian held her close. “Using the seduction strategy, huh? Are you really eager to know?”
