Chapter 740
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.
'Til 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 many other patients to visit, so I'll make a move first."
Diana went out to send him off.

give us prescriptions just because he was happy with your clothes."
He was sure that woman might play some underhanded tricks.
"Do you really think every woman in this world will die for you?" Diana scoffed. "Mr. Fulcher, you regard yourself too
highly."
Julian chuckled awkwardly, and leaned coquettishly on Diana’s shoulder. "Yes Diana, you're right. I can't be an
egomaniac, or you won't like me."
His voice was so warm and gentle.
Diana would always surrender herself to such unintentional wonderful moments.
It was precisely because they were wonderful that she didn't dare to linger for too long.
She suppressed the desire in her heart and pushed his head off her shoulder, stopping him from getting too close to
her lest her desire for him grew too strong.
She intertwined her fingers and covered up the sorrow in her eyes. "I'll have Mrs. Lay prepare your medication."
Having waged a cold war for so many days, Julian didn't have many chances to speak with Diana.
He naturally refused to let her go right now. "I said I won't take it."
Since her nausea couldn't be treated, he would vomit alongside her.
At the very least, she wouldn’t be suffering alone.
Frustrated, Diana chided him. "How could you not take it?!"
His condition was severe enough for a doctor of Shiloh's caliber to consider a tricky situation. How could he still not
cooperate and refuse to take his medicine?
Julian was slightly taken aback by her agitated response." What’s wrong, Diana?"
His mind had always been as keen as a predator on a hunt for prey. Immediately, he demanded, "What’s the true
reason behind Shiloh coming here and giving me a prescription?"
She would let him find out the truth over her dead body!
Alarm bells rang in Diana's heart. "What are you thinking about? Have you become silly from working too much? Or
is it that you don't believe the clothes I designed are good enough to win over my clients?"
"Not so." Julian smiled guiltily.
He simply felt that Diana was behaving rather strangely today.
She wasn't really looking him in the eye. Each time he drew close to her, she seemed to be resistant toward his
advances.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPerhaps it was because she was still upset at the foolish things he blurted before.
The thought of having to sleep outside the bedroom over the past two days made Julian shudder. He immediately
changed the subject, for fear that Diana might talk about the wrong things he had said before. "How are the results
of my check-up?"
"Pretty good." Diana paused for a moment before turning around to retrieve the report from her bag. "I was just
thinking too much."
She composed herself as she tried her best to hide the sorrow of having to leave him soon. In a bid to pretend that
nothing was wrong, she teased him. "You're stronger than a bull"
"I told you I was fine." Julian then took the report from her and looked through it.
After confirming nothing was wrong, he dispelled the thought that something was off from his mind.
Perhaps he really was overthinking things.
Perhaps exercising his keen sense at home wasn't a good thing.
"I'll be better next time," he said. He was always so humble and meek before her, and always the first at admitting
his mistake.
Yet, Diana could no longer stay by his side.
