Chapter 326 Sounds Like You Made That Up
Heather had been feeling palpitation in her heart. She took it as a bad sign.
At her wit’s end, she called Julian anxiously, “Julian, I have had a bad feeling for the past few days and I can’t get in touch with Caroline. Anything new on her?”
Julian said in an icy tone. “What makes you think I can find her if you didn’t?”
Julian cut off with Caroline after the big quarrel on the last call.
Caroline didn’t contact him either.
Heather asked tentatively, “Would you like to reach her? She sounds awful…”
Heather couldn’t tell what was wrong with Caroline’s tone, but she knew Caroline was much weaker than before.
“Mom, you know, she won’t answer my call.” Julian continued, “If you’re really worried about her, why don’t you send someone to check on her? Have you tried grandpa?”
Heather sighed in frustration. “Then why do you think I’m coming for you?”
She asked Grandpa Hughes to call Caroline at first, but he didn’t bother to ask. He even said that Caroline was reaping what she sowed.
“Sorry, there’s nothing I can do,” Julian replied to Heather and got off the phone.
He refused to call because on one hand, Caroline wouldn’t answer, and on the other hand, he didn’t want to hear any humiliation about Emelia.
Julian gave up on his sister just like Grandpa Hughes did.
Julian stayed in the hospital for a week and was finally discharged. The doctor confirmed that the residual blood congestion in his brain was cleared after giving him a full examination. There was no more surgery and sequelae.
Emelia let out a long sigh of relief as she cried in Julian’s arms.
She had a tough week. This was the first time she realized Julian was important to her. After all, the things that happened between Eric and Yvonne, they grew a feeling of closeness.
Julian held her tight and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, I should have done better.”
He blamed himself for not seeing through Eric’s trick earlier, putting Emelia in this mess.
Emelia had suffered a lot after being falsely accused of alleged assault by Yvonne.
Then Yvonne almost hurt Emelia, who then spent a hard week in the hospital with Julian, the real patient here.
These were supposed to be his parents’ stuff, but now Julian dragged her into this.
Emelia cried even more. “You’ve done a good job protecting me.”
If it wasn’t for Julian in the car accident, she would have been the one discharging today. If it wasn’t for his bravery, he wouldn’t have had a craniotomy.
David’s operation went well. The day after Julian left the hospital, he found Winnie’s friend.
Her name was Fanny Rumsey, and coincidently, she lived in the suburb of Riverside City.
Julian planned to visit her once he found the girl. He wanted to convince her to join their plan.
But David reported, “Fanny Rumsey was willing to help after I told her about our plan, but on one condition: don’t show up at her door to disturb her life, because she doesn’t want to attract Eric’s attention.”
“She’ll send us an audio recording of what she knows about Winnie.”
“This is good enough,” said Julian.
This might not convince Eric but was enough to mess with Eric.
Since everything was in place, it was time for Emelia to start writing.
This article was important. She needed to restore the past to the unrelated people and reveal the real Winnie to Eric.
Emelia sat in front of the computer for the entire afternoon. She wrote and deleted it, carefully weighing every word.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Julian was glad that he learned how to make coffee and cook, then he could serve Emelia a cup of coffee when she was tired. Emelia sipped her coffee through a smile.
Julian picked her up from the chair and asked softly, “Are you feeling better?”
“Yeah, the minute when you gave me the coffee,” Emelia nodded, “But I’m thinking of the article.”
Julian peered at her nose and said seriously, “This’s the first time I see you writing.”
Ironically, they had lived together for three years, but Julian had never seen Emelia writing anything.
Emelia said awkwardly, “Do I look irritable?”
She was used to working alone, so she didn’t realize she was no longer working by herself until she saw Julian.
Emelia wondered if she was doing something embarrassed, like anxiously tugging at her hair or smashing the table…
“Not really,” Julian denied her, “I think it’s cute.”
What she did when she didn’t come up with anything good a script was very cute in Julian’s eyes.
Emelia was always serious and these little moves turned her to be a different person. So, how was it irritable?
Emelia snorted and said, “Well, sounds like you made it up.”
Julian argued, “I’m telling the truth.”
They continued to chat. When their eyes met, they started to kiss
This was a big challenge for Julian. They hadn’t made out for a long time since Yvonne’s thing and his injury.
At this moment, surrounded by the fragrance and soft skin, all he wanted to do was have sex.
But he had underestimated Emelia’s stamina. When she sensed his intentions, she immediately pushed him away. “No, I have to write …”
Julian hoarsely said, “Write later.”
He had a fire to put out. Who cared about the writing thing?
He was going crazy when hugged Emelia in the hospital bed, doing nothing for the past few days.
Julian lifted her up, but Emelia still struggled by kicking her feet in the air.
