Chapter 334 Illness


    As Eric had killed himself by jumping off the cliff, no one could be held responsible for Caroline''s death.


    When the police found Eric down the cliff, he was already dead. His men were soon arrested. From


    them, the police knew what Eric had


    done in recent days, from how Yvonne Sullivan was poisoned and then illusioned to crash into Julian


    and Emelia''s car to how Rosalind


    Longman and Caroline died.


    Rosalind was also poisoned by Eric, who revealed his identity to Rosalind and then told her how he


    would carry out his revenge. After


    knowing such an evil n and the story behind it, Rosalind lost control of her own body and jumped


    into the sea.


    And the poison Eric used would evaporate quickly in cold water. Therefore, the police found no poison


    within her body since her body


    had already been soaked in the sea for a long time.


    Since Caroline died of drugs, the Hughes family only held a simple funeral for her.


    Julian fell ill and had to stay in his bed after Caroline was buried. Then he even became racked by high


    fever for days.


    As his friend and a doctor, Arthur checked his situation and said to Ezra and Phil, "Julian was actually


    fine. He might have fallen ill only


    because he was in extreme sorrow.’


    And they all know why he was so sad.


    In the letter for Julian, Emelia hinted that she was determined to break up with him. After Emelia left,


    Julian didn''t receive a phone call


    or a single message from her. He really got no enough energy to do anything else after he had


    arranged Caroline''s funeral.


    Ezra and Phil looked quite worried, "Then what could we do now?"


    Grandpa Hughes was now old and Heather was having a mental breakdown due to Caroline''s death. It


    was said that Gerhard Hughes,


    who was now abroad, was also seriously injured due to the kidnapping case. He didn''t even show up


    on Caroline''s funeral.


    Now the three friends of Julian''s were the only ones staying beside his bed.


    Seeing how Julian suffered now, they all felt sorry for him.


    With his eyes fixed on the poor man ina on the bed, Ezra said, "Coward! We''ve experienced life


    and death together but now he is


    lying on his bed like a coward just for a woman!"


    Phil didn''t like Ezra''s attitude towards women and love, "You could say that just because it doesn''t


    happen to you. If someday the


    woman you love dumps you, you may fall sick just as Julian does now.’


    Ezra sniffed, "It''s just a woman. He can find a new one."


    The moment he finished his words, someone knocked on the door and then walked in. It was Maisie


    Brennan.


    Phil instantly threw a nce at Ezra. Now Maisie was Ezra''s lover, and she must have heard what Ezra


    had just said. Phil expected that


    a quarrel may break out between them.


    But things didn''t go as what Phil had expected. But it turned out that he didn''t know what kind of person


    Maisie was. She didn''t appear


    angry at all and only put a few files onto the desk, "I''m here to deliver a few documents to you."


    Julian was in the hospital, but he also needed to deal with some business affairs when he was sober.


    Now Maisie and David Brennan were in charge of the Hughes Group''s daily operation, but there are


    still some documents that needed Julian''s signature.


    Maisie put down the files and asked a few questions to Ezra about Julian''s situation before she was


    going to leave.


    Phil said to her smilingly, "Now you look really like apetent manager, Ms. Brennan. No matter


    who''s going to marry you in future, he must be a lucky boy.’


    "Thank you for your praise, Mr. Henderson,’ Maisie knew that he was actually saying these words to


    Ezra. So, she only replied in a low yet polite voice and left.


    Ezra wouldn''t marry her no matter how hard Phil persuaded them.


    After she left, Phil asked Ezra, "You really have no n to get married with Maisie?"


    Phil admired Maisie from the bottom of his heart, "Though she is of no prominent background, she is


    outstanding as a business leader.


    N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    She could help you to run yourpany."


    Phil didn''t exaggerate. Maisie was indeed outstanding.


    Having been working as an assistant of Julian for years, now Maisie had already been able to run a


    as they were still working for Julian due to loyalty.


    But Ezra saidzily, "The only duty of my woman is to obey me and to serve me well in bed. And | don''t


    need any women to help me run my business."


    Phil said, "I know. Your love for her is not enough. If you really love her, you''ll marry her in spite of her


    capability and background."


    Phil finally concluded with he himself as an example, "As what | did when | married my wife."


    He loved her so much so he began to woo her since she was quite young. Finally, with great efforts


    made, she eventually became his woman.


    Outside the room, Maisie was still there. She clenched her hands into fists and a bitter smile climbed


    onto her face.


    She shouldn''t have stayed here to listen what they were going to say. She knew what she would get


    was nothing but humiliation and disappointment.


    He never loved her. He would make her his girlfriend only because he had never had any romantic


    rtionship with a woman of her type.


    You are such a greedy woman, Maisie.


    What you wanted is only to be his girlfriend, isn''t it?


    One day spent with him is already enough for you, isn''t it?


    You know he doesn''t love you, don''t you?


    And you also know he would leave you at any time, don''t you?


    So, what words are you expecting from him? What promise are you wishing for from him?


    And... What are you feeling heartbroken for right now?


    She said to herself. Then she put on a poker face again before she left.


    When Julian finally got better, the first thing he did was to say these words to Arthur, "| must leave the


    hospital right now."


    Arthur didn''t know what to say. He had no choice but to talk him out of it, "You have not recovered yet


    and you dont have to leave the hospital. All the business affairs in yourpany are now handled by


    Maisie and David."


    Julian said determinedly, "I must find Emelia.’


    Arthur felt helpless, "I know you got a lot of things to say to Emelia. But you''d better do it after you


    recover."


    Julian interrupted his words, "| dreamed of her falling ill. | need to see her.’


    Arthur said anxiously, "If she did fall ill, the Longerich’s would definitely find the best medication for her.


    You don''t have to meet her in person. And now you yourself are ill!"


    Julian simply ignored his words and quickly got down his bed. But before he could walk towards the


    door, Ezra came inside. The two friends of Julian''s pressed him back onto the bed.
