Chapter 1004
Simon was probably more important to Diana.
Shiloh came today with the intention of coming clean with Julian, about how he had joined hands with Kiki to make
Diana leave Julian before he would treat Julian. However, Julian's unhappy face and hostile countenance made him
swallow the words that were at the tip of his tongue.
After a moment's silence, he said, "Where is Ms. Jarvis' room?"
"Come with me.” Julian took Shiloh to the room. Noel was standing guard at the door.
He didn't sleep a wink last night, out of worry that Cecilia might do something again.
Although Cecilia was engaged to Julian on paper, if she really did hurt or even kill Diana, the consequences would
be utterly frightening.
He would do all he could to protect her while he had the chance to, before she officially became Mrs. Fulcher. He
would stand vigil for her all the way.

office..."
"I won’t let progress be held up at work."
Julian gave Noel his promise, and didn’t say more. His long lashes covered the emotions brewing in the depths of
his
eyes. He turned to Shiloh, "Mr. Stewart, please head in."
The moment Shiloh saw Cecilia, he began diagnosing her condition. He made Cecilia stretch her arm out.
"Please let me take your pulse."
Cecilia glanced at Julian in a daze, and stretched her arm out. "Okay."
Her wrist was overly thin, nothing but skin and bones.
Even Shiloh lamented about how skinny she was. "Does she not eat much?"
Noel chimed in immediately. "Not at all in the past. Ever since Mr. Fulcher started taking care of her, she began
eating more. She ate exceptionally well last night, almost as much as a normal person."
The moment Noel was done explaining, he glanced belatedly at Julian, as if realizing something. Regret filled his
eyes, and he hurriedly lowered his head.
Why did he...
Why did he jump to answer Mr. Shiloh before Mr. Fulcher did?
Yet, only he knew the reason why he had such courage.
Although Cecilia looked like she was looking in Julian's direction, she was in fact looking at Noel.
She exchanged glances with Noel, and stretched her arm out to Shiloh only when Noel nodded.
She trusted him so much...
Even the first bite of food she had at the Jarvises' residence before they brought her out was fed to her by Noel,
who coaxed her into eating.
What he should never have done was forget that Cecilia was the future Mrs. Fulcher, his future mistress!
He should already be thankful to be able to stay by her side like this.
Why did he have to jump in and answer on Julian’s behalf?

his voice was calm. "He's right."
That made Noel feel guiltier.
Mr. Fulcher could clearly sense his feelings for Cecilia, yet he didn't chase him out. Mr. Fulcher didn't embarrass him
in front of Cecilia, either.
He...
He wasn't fit to be Mr. Fulcher's assistant!
After Cecilia's condition stabilized, he wouldn’t wait for Julian to chase him away. He would take the initiative to
resign, and disappear before him and Cecilia.
That was the only way to repay Julian's mercy toward him.
Noel had made up his mind, but the moment he looked up and saw Cecilia's eyes, his heart softened.
He was really going to leave her in the future.
He had better not look at her so much.
Sorrow, helplessness, and guilt over betraying Julian tormented Noel. He had to force himself to beat a hasty
retreat.
"Sir, I'll head off first. The office..."
