Chapter 1092
"Yeah," Vans said. "Humidity and moisture are eczema's best friends. Some children's eczema conditions flare up
during deep winters and intense summers.”
Julian turned silent at Vans's words.
Vans couldn't help but tease him. "Why do I seem to know more about your son than you do?"
Julian glared at him, effectively shutting him up.
Tve said enough," Vans said, waving his hand.
He didn't understand what Julian was thinking.
Julian didn't care about Diana and Sean, right? Yet, he insisted on coming over to help with their clogged bathtub
the moment he heard about it. He even said that hiring a plumber would be a waste of time.
Was it really?
Getting a plumber to their door and solve the problem was just one phone call away, and cost only a bit of money.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYet, Julian insisted on doing it himself.
Perhaps... He just wanted to do something for them with his own hands.
However, he didn't want them to know about it. He also forbade Vans to tell them about it. He really was a
contradictory person.
Vans couldn’t stand it any longer. "I’m so glad I'm not as stiff as you are."
"I'm not stiff. Diana and Sean just don’t want to see me," Julian retorted.
Vans refuted his claim. "If so, why did they head out to find you?"
"They weren't looking for me," Julian said, not wanting to continue the conversation any further. His face was
already dark with displeasure.
"They were already heading out," he said as he looked at Vans. "Didn't you say that they wanted to buy fresh
flowers and go to the cemetery?"
Vans's face was now stormy.
Julian was clearly not a fool, given his ability to grow Fulcher Inc. to its current scale. He clearly understood the
current situation, too. Yet, why did he refuse to admit that Diana and Sean wanted to see him?
"You just don’t have the guts to see them!" Vans yelled. That was his ultimate conclusion.
"What right do I have to see her?!" Julian glared at him, jaw hard as stone and sharp as a knife. He was furious now.
Vans wanted to say more, but the look on Julian’s face told him that nothing he said would convince the latter
otherwise. In the end, he decided to keep silent.
He took a deep breath to calm himself down, then continued telling Julian about the bathtub. "Bathing in
honeysuckle can help prevent and alleviate eczema. This is a good method."
It was something many parents for their children.
Japanese honeysuckle were also packaged and sold online. These sachets could be put in a bucket or a tub, which
was then filled with water for children to soak in. The method proved to be a great help to children with eczema.
'The bathtub was clogged because the Japanese honeysuckle stalks got out the sachet. Diana thought they were
tiny enough to be flushed away. She didn’t expect the tub to be so clogged that water can't flow through. The water
in the tub finally emptied out at three in the morning," Vans said.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJulian nodded. He first twisted the drain stopper open. He shone a torchlight in it, and said, "No wonder the water
flows out slowly. The inside is completely clogged."
It was filled with honeysuckle stalks.
Vans was inexperienced with handyman work. "What should we do?"
"Grab me a chopstick," Julian said, appearing very experienced with such things. "In the past, Diana's hair would
often clog the tub. Sometimes, as it accumulates, it'd eventually clog the whole drainage system."
Such trivial and mundane issues were a daily affair.
Oftentimes, one would suddenly realize that the water
wasn’t draining out halfway through a bath.
It was either a stuck pipe or drain.
During such times, it wouldn't be convenient to call for a plumber.
As much as Albert the butler knew the ins and outs of the house, Julian never allowed him into Diana's bathroom.
He always did it himself.
And then...
