Chapter 1211

Sean gently pinched Betty’s face.Betty nodded. “When will you and Daddy come out?”Sean had no idea.The only thing he knew was that Enzo didn’t intend to let them leave in one piece. Ever since Enzo gave him that pill, Sean had a bad feeling. Perhaps both he and his father wouldn’t make it out of this place alive. Ensuring his sister’s safety was the most ideal outcome.“Very soon,” Sean said, trying to persuade Betty not to be sad. He then told Tommy to send Betty away, while he headed back to the house where Julian was locked in.This was the first time he saw his father in such a terrible state.Julian looked like very dizzy, his hands clutching his head and his eyes shut tight. When he heard Sean’s footsteps, he opened his eyes. “Sean, I…”“No need to say sorry,” Sean said, stepping forward to hold Julian’s hand. He looked around, and saw that there was no one else except for the two of them.It was time for him to feed Julian the pill Enzo gave him.Still, why did E

Julian was shocked. “Why do you think that way?!”“Because just now, my father chose to first save my sister without any hesitation. Once again, he gave up on his son when he had to choose between his two children.” Sean spoke just like an adult, his logic impeccable. His eyes didn’t seem to belong to that of a three-year-old child. They had a strange calm Julian didn’t expect of him.Sean placed the pill at the corner of Julian’s mouth. “Eat this.”Julian was about to open his mouth, when he heard Sean say indifferently, “It’s poison.”Julian was shocked. “You want to poison your daddy to death? Did Enzo Jennings give you this?”Sean nodded, and then shook his head. “He gave it to me, but I don’t actually want you dead. But I don’t want Mommy dead, either,” Sean said, looking at Julian. “I thought you’d be able to defeat Enzo when you came. I didn’t expect you to be carried in and end up curled like a ball on the floor. Now that Betty’s free, it seems we both don’t stand a

“Have you really not compared yourself with Betty before?” Julian asked in disbelief.He knew Sean protected Betty all the time, always standing in front of her and defending her. But how could he possibly not compare himself to her in the midst of doing so? “You want to be protected too, right?” Julian grabbed Sean’s hand before he stubbornly stood up to walk away.This was the first time the father and son pair held hands after so many days. Julian ran his fingers over each one of Sean’s. “Daddy’s protecting you.”His words were sudden. Sean’s heart leaped as he suddenly realized something. When he turned back, he saw that Julian had taken the pill.“Daddy!” Sean panicked, all thoughts in his mind vanishing into thin air. He crouched next to Julian anxiously, trying hard to pry open his father’s mouth and make the man spit out the pill.But Julian kept his mouth shut tight.After ingesting the pill, he finally opened his mouth to speak. “It’s useless, Sean. I’ve eaten i

“Someone will be coming to save us soon,” Julian said. Now that it was just them and no Betty, things were easier to handle.He instructed Sean, “Gather those syringes, and give them to the police when they come.”The more Sean thought about it, the more he felt that he had been immature. Everyone said he was an intelligent kid; but at that moment, he didn’t think he was as intelligent as they claimed. No father would come in unprepared when dealing with a child in dangerous situations, especially a father like Julian. He was used to arranging and commanding everything.He seemed to have come alone just now. In truth, he had planned everything out with the goal of bringing Jennings Pharmaceutical Co. down.Enzo had hurt Sean too much.“I’ll take revenge for you,” Julian said. He glanced at the wounds inflicted on Sean, not bearing to look a second time. “I’ll make Enzo Jennings pay a price far worse than physical pain.”Sean didn’t care about that. He was more concerned about J

“Senior Stewart,” Jim addressed Shiloh that day.Shiloh waved his hands. “Your knowledge in the use of drugs has surpassed mine, and your research and development skills all the more so. I heard you have shares in many pharmaceutical companies. Me, I haven’t done much over the years. I’m not worthy for you to address me as your senior.”Jim ignored Shiloh, and continued addressing him as Senior Stewart regardless.Strange.This man disregarded Shiloh’s words, but it didn’t anger Shiloh at all. Rather, he didn’t dare to be angry. The Hughes family was of an extraordinary presence in the medical field.Incense made of medicinal herbs was lit outdoors in the courtyard and in the living room, for the purposes of repelling insects and awakening the senses during summer. It also served to eliminate anti-bacteria and toxins during winter. The same incense was also lit in the study.Shiloh couldn’t tell which specific medicinal herbs were in the incense. To him, burning these herbs i

He was even helping her call Enzo. “Don’t panic,” Jim comforted Diana. “Your children and husband will be fine.”He even switched the phone to loudspeaker so Diana could hear his conversation with Enzo. “Enzo,” Jim said into the phone.The moment the arrogant Enzo got Jim’s call, he immediately bowed and replied respectfully. His hair stood on end; he was alert and ready to receive his commands. “I’m right here, Professor Hughes. How can I be of service?”“Release Mr. Fulcher and his children. I don’t want any mishap,” Jim said. He turned to Diana and said in a polite, almost distant manner, “Do you have anything else to add?”Diana was already very grateful to him, so she didn’t see the need to raise any further requests. She was now certain that Jim and Enzo weren’t in cahoots.“As long as they come back safely to me,” Diana said, knowing that she was unable to bear the loss of her loved ones.Jim nodded. “Okay.”Enzo’s voice turned a pitch higher. “But… But…”“But what?”

The sudden change in attitude…Did Enzo sense the police coming, and decided to back down in hopes of being spared by the law?That couldn’t be.Julian sought the help of the most reliable people he knew before coming here alone. They couldn’t possibly expose his plan before reaching here to gather hard evidence.What exactly went wrong?If Enzo released Julian earlier than expected, his plan would be botched.Could he still successfully stop Enzo from listing his company?Julian was still pondering how he had to adjust his plan, when he saw Diana and Noel standing at the door.He thought he was hallucinating. He rubbed his eyes, and looked again. It was really Diana in the flesh!Her eyes were filled with tears. There was also anger in them. Even without asking, Julian knew he must have worried Diana.The fact that she had to worry about him even when she was pregnant filled Julian with guilt. He immediately stood up to run toward her, but Diana stopped him. “Don’t move

Chapter 1218

Recently, Julian had consumed many unknown pills. He didn't want to take any more of these mysterious substances of unknown origin. He was about to open his mouth to spit the pill out, but Diana's gaze stopped him. She regarded Jim as a savior—to the point she treated every medicine he gave as a panacea, regardless of its name or ingredients. Diana wasn't usually so irrational; she used to look into even the ingredients in her skincare products. After becoming pregnant, her understanding of various components had reached an almost unbearable level. But now, regarding the pills Jim was urging Julian to take, she didn't ask a single question.Jim's fingers had already landed on Julian's arm, adopting a professional pulse-checking posture. Julian had spent a considerable amount of time lying in bed, watching Diana bustle around him. Back then, when Shiloh checked his pulse, it was the same. He liked to use a single finger for diagnosis, too. Every time he examined Julian, he wo

So far, none of the reliable police officers Julian had contacted had shown up. When it came to Julian, something like this was almost unheard of.It could only mean that someone had interfered behind the scenes."Thank you, Professor Hughes," Julian said.With how close Diana seemed to Jim, Julian arranged a banquet in the Fulcher Manor to express his gratitude. Enzo and Tommy also followed them. However, there was a notable difference—while their group sat at the dining table, Enzo and Tommy remained kneeling on the floor.Diana was very uncomfortable with this situation. Whenever she thought about her son's injuries and Julian's near escape, however, her distress overwhelmed her. Jim could only treat injuries that had been caused by the unknown pills they had consumed; he couldn't address other injuries. Sean's injuries had been assessed by the family doctor, who performed a CT scan at their home. The little child had bruising on his chest from the kick.If Diana wasn’t

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 relax her muscles.Diana lay half-reclined on the bed, comfortably enjoying the fruits placed 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 nothing compared 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 a commanding tone. "What are you implying? Should I just ignore you if you get into trouble in the future? Am I that
