"You clearly said there were no issues in the medical report, so how did your father discover the problem from the very same report?" Diana asked.Kiki replied somewhat impatiently, "I've already said it before. We saw no issues in that report, but my father can identify problems just by examining the trace elements."That was the terrifying aspect of a great traditional medicine practitioner. Not only was he well-versed in traditional medicine, but he also had a deep understanding of various indicators and data in modern medicine. He could always uncover problems others couldn't see—it was evident that his medical skills were nothing short of extraordinary.Diana understood now. "What's your father's name?""Shiloh Stewart."Diana nodded, and immediately searched for him on her phone. She found out that what Kiki had said was true. There was a lot of information about Shiloh, but the genuine testimonials from many patients caught her attention the most. They described situations

Money, money, money!When Julian initially proposed divorce to Diana, it was about giving her money—and now, Kiki was forcing her to leave by offering money as well!Did the rich always solve their problems in such a crude and straightforward manner?Even son, being that way didn't necessarily solve the problems.In this world, there were always things that money couldn't buy.Diana gradually calmed down, then turned to Kiki with a composed expression. "I'll pretend I didn't hear what you said."She would return home, and she wouldn't bring up everything that happened today to Julian."As for your father, I’ll find a way to meet him. You don't have to worry about it."Seeing her plan failing, Kiki immediately stood up from her seat in a panic. "Diana! Can't you understand what I'm saying? You don't care at all about Julian's health! Why do you insist on watching his condition worsen and watch him die?!""I've already said it." Diana took a deep breath, restraining the urge to

Kiki didn't know who she had slept with.She only remembered that his eyes were somewhat sinister, and his demeanor was icy.In her dazed state, she had once thought about leaving the room.However, his strength was overpowering.She gradually lost all her strength and didn't know anything anymore. When she finally woke up, she found herself alone in the room.In reality, whether this incident could be considered against her will was still up for debate because, in truth, she...had taken the initiative.But that was all because she was intoxicated!Kiki firmly believed everything wasn’t her fault, and that she hadn't consented!She was just drunk, and that man took advantage of her vulnerability.However, what surprised her was that she actually got pregnant.At first, she thought about not keeping the baby. After she saw Julian leaning over Diana's belly so tenderly, those warm moments kept replaying in her mind.She believed she had the ability to provide a happy family fo

Kiki didn’t expect her father would want to visit Julian and give him a consultation immediately.She hesitated for a moment, apprehension in her heart. “Dad… Is Julian’s condition very serious?”“Yes, very.” Many severe illnesses began with no symptoms.That was especially so for many cancer patients, who look like any other person even until the late stages of their cancer. They only realized something was wrong with their health when they got terminally ill—by then things would be too late.Julian’s condition was even more tricky than terminal cancer.He wasn’t suffering from cancer, but something even scarier than cancer.Shiloh had seen such cases before, in which patients would lose much weight from vomiting and imbalance in micronutrients in the body. Ordinary doctors might think that the patient’s body only lacked something and required the corresponding nutrients.In actual fact, it was a symptom of a severe disease.If treatment and medication were received in time, t

She suddenly charged toward Julian and yelled, “Why didn’t you put them back up after they dropped? I made myself so clear in my letter that you should put up the decorations. Why are you so half-hearted about it?!”Ever since Simon tore the wall decorations, she should have sensed that the luck she and Julian shared was running out…She tried her best to make up for it by buying more wall decorations, but they weren’t able to paste them up together on new year’s eve. The decorations even ended up with shoe marks all over.They looked so dirty—perhaps an accurate reflection of their miserable and unfortunate destiny.Afterwards, Julian did follow her instructions to put up the new wall decorations.Yet, they dropped again.Was this heaven's will?No matter how hard she tried to embrace the blessings of the new year, she was bound to be in lack of it.She and Julian…Were fated to be separated.No! She looked up at Layla, fire burning in her eyes.“Layla, tell me again what

Diana was rarely so serious.She was usually smiling, and this was especially so when she used to visit Madam Fulcher at the old mansion. She was always gentle and mild-mannered, like a calm lake on a quiet spring afternoon.But now, she reminded Layla of a snowstorm during the freezing winter.Cold and harsh.She was so scared that she stood right where she was, not daring to move. “Yes, ma’am.”Diana was finally assured when she saw Layla stand rooted on the spot. Only then did she approach Shiloh Stewart.The moment Shiloh saw Diana walking toward him, he looked at her with a guilty gaze. “Are you Ms. Diana Winnington?”Diana nodded. “Are you Dr. Stewart?”“Yes, I am,” A tinge of awkwardness flashed past the old man’s face. “I’m here to diagnose Mr. Fulcher’s condition.”This should have been something that delighted Diana.She didn’t have to go through the effort of reaching out to him, or worry that he wouldn’t treat Julian because of his daughter Kiki.And yet, Dian
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 739
Shiloh looked straight into Diana’s eyes and said frankly, “As long as you’re willing to give Mr. Fulcher to Kiki, I’ll do anything you ask of me.”“I’ll just ask you one question,” Diana said. “Please don’t lie to me.”If he dared to lie to her, she would make them go to hell no matter what it took her!Shiloh had never seen such a look of determination on a young person’s face, and he couldn’t help but be moved. A look of respect flashed past his eyes as he said, “Please speak, Ms. Winnington.”“Is it true that Julian is really sick?”“Yes, it’s true,” Shiloh said sincerely. “To be sure that my judgment wasn’t wrong, I looked through his medical reports before coming here to look for you. I can only say that his condition is worse than what all of us might think.”That was why he hurried over with the intention of confirming Julian’s diagnosis.“Okay.” Diana looked at him. “I believe you.”If she didn’t believe him and stopped him from diagnosing Julian’s condition, Julian mi

Shiloh, who was eager to treat him, almost blurted out the truth about how severe Julian’s condition was.The moment he thought of his tearful daughter back home, he stopped himself just in time.“What sin…” He lowered his head and mumbled to himself as he tried to suppress his sense of duty as a doctor. He tried his best not to think about the love between Julian and Diana. He knew that Kiki was lying.No matter where the child in her womb came from, it was impossible for her claim that Diana was the third wheel between her and Julian to be true. Conversely, Kiki was the barrier standing between Julian and Diana.Yet for the sake of his daughter and the unborn baby in her womb, Shiloh had to pretend he was kept in the dark and that he knew nothing.His greatly troubled conscience made him unable to stay a minute longer.“I’ll place the prescriptions right here.” Because of his guilty conscience, he didn’t even dare to look up into Diana’s eyes. “Ms. Winnington, I still have ma

“Life is all about reconciliation.” Decades passed in the blink of an eye. Diana’s children had all grown up.Kate and Isaac had both passed away. Even Diana’s old friends, Fanny and Oliver, had left the world too.Fanny was never able to get pregnant again after that rainy night. She had gradually let go of her desire to get pregnant under Oliver’s persuasion.They stayed relentlessly by each other’s side, albeit childless. Over the years, having experienced all that life had to offer and being each other’s best friend, Oliver died on a peaceful night, never awaking again.Fanny held his hand while sending him off, and closed her eyes forever as well.Diana had seen too many people off in her lifetime.She had grown old herself, too. She could see her life slowly ebbing away.“Julian, I’m so happy to have lived my life with you.” She had transformed from a disgraced young woman to Mrs. Fulcher, respected by all in Richburgh. Julian even took care of her in person when she

He blurted those words instinctively.He had been waiting so long for a pair of daughters, yet when the doctor came over, he saw a pair of sons instead.Diana thought the hospital must have made a mistake and kicked up a fuss, insisting that she had a pair of daughters. She insisted for them to check the footage from the surveillance camera to see if there was a mix-up. The culprit, Julian, could only stand guiltily at a corner and mumble, “Actually…sons are fine too.”As long as it was their children, it didn’t matter whether they were girls or boys. Either way, Diana was the only woman he loved his entire life. Even his love for his only daughter Betty didn’t match up to that.After witnessing Diana giving birth, Julian’s love for Diana went up a notch, to the point of paranoia.For the rest of their lives, he made sure to never let her worry or touch cold water.He took great care of her.Kate finally appeared two years after Diana gave birth.When the mother and daughter

Nina mentioned the Jenningses. “The Jennings family is gone overnight, just like that.”Diana wasn’t shocked.She guessed that Julian had wanted to do that for a while. Not just for her and to seek justice for the Lemmington family, but also for Simon.Although Julian never allowed Simon to call him his brother, he had wanted to annihilate everything that was involved with the Hughes family since Simon’s death.Him making his move on the Jenningses indicated that the time had come.“Congratulations,” Diana said to Nina. “Has Vans come back to you?”“No,” Nina said with a shake of her head. “Lina Jennings isn’t the only thing standing in between us. We have problems of our own to overcome.”Diana sighed. “I think Marcus is pretty good.”She felt relaxed and comfortable around him.Even if Vans came round and worked with Julian to bring down the Jenningses, and had no feelings whatsoever for Lina, Diana wasn’t exactly eager to be with him.As if they had telepathy with each oth

“He doesn’t need to be jailed,” Fanny said, confused. “One word from him, and his lawyers will be able to exonerate him. I just don’t understand why he’d rather go to jail.”“He wants to pay for his father’s sins,” Diana said with a sigh.Fanny didn’t know what to think of that. Was Oliver innocent, or not? He even went to such great lengths to stop her.Yet, the moment she declared that she would never compromise and would rather be under the protection of Diana than to be involved with Oliver, he clearly looked like he was in a daze.Diana noticed that Fanny hardly smiled over the past few days, and rubbed her hand comfortingly. “He just wants a clean start with you.”Fanny’s heart shook. She couldn’t sleep the entire night.The next morning, she told Diana, “Today’s the day of his trial and sentencing. I want to see him.”Diana asked Julian to send a few bodyguards with Fanny on her trip there.When she returned, she looked as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoul

Fanny bet that he wouldn’t dare.That was equivalent to eliminating all chances he stood with Diana.Julian witnessed the scene unfolding before him. Instead of getting frustrated, he stood quietly there, ready to protect Diana, as he watched Fanny and Oliver fight it out with each other.Oliver was confused. “Why not?”He glanced at Diana, and went on, “I did like Diana in the past, but I have since given up on those feelings for her. Fanny Smith, is your heart made of stone? Can’t you tell who the woman I like is after all this time?”Fanny was stunned, feeling suffocated as if something was stuck in her throat. “Don’t tell me it’s me.”Oliver was dumbfounded. Who else could he be talking about? The stars in the sky?Fanny felt indignant under his glare. “If you like me, why did you say that I’m just a child-bearing tool for you?”“If I didn’t say that, would I be able to keep you confined in the villa? Would I be able to dash all your hopes and make you feel hopeless?”
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 1548
Oliver would never let her go. “Fanny Smith, don’t even think about leaving me in this life!”That was when Diana and Julian hurriedly made their way.Sean located Oliver very accurately. Diana saw the scene unfolding before her, and couldn’t help but recall everything that happened in Jacroaof. She hurriedly told Noel to take Sean outside and wait. She couldn’t afford to gamble on Sean’s safety. She didn’t want Sean exposed to any form of danger right under her nose.Her actions made Oliver tense. “Diana, do you think I’ve gone mad?” He grabbed Fanny’s hand, as if he was holding onto the most precious treasure in the world.Diana didn’t answer him, but she threw her bag that Julian was helping her carry toward Fanny.She was exerting so much force for a pregnant lady, looking as if she wanted to fight with Fanny.Even Julian didn’t know what Diana was trying to do, not to mention Fanny herself.By the time he snapped back to attention and wanted to stop Diana from doing s

However, Fanny must let go of her hatred and past grudges first.The mention of children made Fanny waver. The hatred in her eyes grew even more intense. “Oliver Channing! The cheek of you to mention children!” What gave him the right to say that?!“We agreed,” Oliver said. He didn’t find anything wrong with that. “Fanny, if you want to leave that villa and be free once more, you must give birth to a child of ours.”“What about the child I lost just a few days ago?” Fanny demanded. She found him unreasonable. “Over the past few days, have you ever thought of him, or felt like you let him down? We haven’t even resolved the issues between us, and you want me to get pregnant again. Are you really ready to be a father?!”“I want you to get pregnant again?” Oliver said as he drew closer to her. His eyes were dark, looking as if he wanted to crush Fanny and put her in his pocket. “Weren’t you the one who tried to seduce me by wearing a revealing dress in my house? Fanny Smith, do

Julian stopped talking to the butler, but he was already making plans in his heart.He returned to the study, and told Diana, “Fanny and Oliver have been fighting for a long time, and it might be over something that might potentially destroy their relationship.”In fact… “Fanny might no longer love Oliver right now.”However, the fact that Oliver faked her death and confined her was enough to show that he still cared for her.If he realized that Fanny no longer loved him, he might do something even crazier.“Let’s hurry up and save her, then!” Diana said.“Wait,” Julian said calmly, “I’m not done with my prediction.”“What?”“Oliver really doesn’t like you now.” Julian’s mood lifted as he arrived at his final conclusion. “We can step in to help Fanny.”Diana was dumbfounded.She had thought that Julian went to such great lengths to analyze the situation for the sake of saving another. To think that his possessiveness took over, and he prioritized figuring out Oliver’s feeli

The three of them entered the study.None of them expected to see a portrait of Diana right in the middle of the study.The portrait was most likely drawn by copying a photo. In the portrait, Diana was eating something with a smile. It looked like the day when Diana encountered a pervert on the train and Oliver stepped in to help her and treated her to a meal.Did she smile so tenderly at him at that time?“You couldn’t have smiled so happily at that time when we were fighting over Kayla.”It was a portrait, not a photo. It was likely that the owner of this portrait added his own interpretation and features when he commissioned this portrait.“He still has feelings for you,” Julian said coldly.He no longer wanted to interfere with the affairs of the Channings.However, Diana disagreed. “If he really had feelings for me, he wouldn’t hang my portrait up so boldly right here.”The fact that Oliver could display the portrait for all to see proved that his feelings for Diana were
