Chapter 120
“Holy sh*t!” Nina was unable to hold back from cursing. “So James is planning to use that contract so that you’d
owe the Winningtons thirteen million instead?”
“I think that’s his plan,” Diana said, exasperated. “He kept going on and on about how he wanted justice for himself
and Kayla, but essentially…”
James had simply never seen Diana as his daughter.
It seemed the Winningtons would do anything to keep Kayla happy.
“That’s weird,” Nina said as she pondered over the flawed logic of the story. “No matter how angry James is, he
should know that you want the money to pay Julian so that you can divorce him. Isn’t that exactly what the
Winningtons want? But now that they’re not giving you the money, then…”
“I don’t know.” Diana shook her head. “Perhaps he thought I was being too outrageous when I said all those things.
There’s also Kayla’s throat…”

It was a sleek, black Rolls Royce; one of Julian’s cars.
Suddenly conscious of which department they were in, Diana immediately turned around nervously. “Nina! Julian
and Kayla are here!”
Nina was startled by the sudden exclamation, and all thoughts about why the Winnington family refused to give
Diana the money flew out the window. She followed closely behind Diana and ducked behind a tree, only emerging
once they saw Julian and Kayla entering the surgical department before they made their way carefully back to the
gynecology department.
“If Julian’s here, staying in Vans’s office isn’t safe either,” Diana said. “Let’s just wait here for a bit. If Julian goes to
meet Vans and we run into him…”
If Julian noticed anything, it would be a problem.
Nina agreed without hesitation. “Okay. I’ll send Vans a text to explain things so he won’t panic if he doesn’t see us in
his office.”
Strangely enough, Vans never replied. Even when it was Diana’s turn to enter the ultrasound room, he never
appeared.
Fearing that he might be in trouble, Nina rushed to Vans’s office to check on him. Meanwhile, Diana stayed in the
ultrasound room.
However, Vans never returned to his office.
It didn’t look like Julian had come looking for him, either.
Without any other leads, Nina could only return to the waiting area at the gynecology department. Once Diana was
done with her ultrasound, she would try and contact Vans one more time before they leave.
After Kayla had her checkup, she and Julian were supposed to leave the hospital. However, Julian wanted to
talk to Vans about a famous surgeon he hadn’t been able to contact all week. With that, they went to Vans‘
office.
Instead of Vans, they noticed Nina sneaking out of his office toward the gynecology department.
An idea came to Kayla almost instantly. “Julian, my period is irregular, so I’d like to see a gynecologist. Could you go

Nina and Diana were like two peas in a pod; they were inseparable. Since Nina was at the hospital, it would mean
that Diana was nearby, right?
Julian was staring quietly at Nina’s retreating back, not realizing there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. When he
heard Kayla’s words, he replied without hesitation, “If you feel any discomfort next time, you should tell me earlier.”
As he spoke, he gently ushered Kayla toward the gynecology department.
Diana had just exited the ultrasound room when Nina returned.
“How was it?” Nina asked anxiously. “Is the baby okay?”
Diana nodded excitedly. “Yes, everything’s fine. The ultrasound shows the fetus’s development, which is now close
to twelve weeks. So far, everything’s good. I’ll need to consult the chief physician for any other precautions.”
After saying that, Diana looked around before asking, “Has Vans shown himself?”
“No,” Nina replied with a sigh. “I just went to his office to check, but there’s no one there. I’m afraid he won’t be
able to come with us to see the chief physician.”
“That’s fine,” Diana said with a smile. “Anyway, the baby is healthy. I can hear its strong heartbeat!”
Nine couldn’t help but relax at that. Noticing that there was now an empty seat near them, she guided Diana to it.
“That’s great! I’ll get a number to see the chief physician. Just sit here and rest while I do that, okay?“
