Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 1501

Diana clung on tight to Betty, not letting go, as if afraid that Kate might snatch Betty away from her. The truth was, she simply didn’t know what to do right now.

Deep in her heart, she was indignant.

Diana had never felt any love from Kate before. Yet now, after Kate lost her memories, she began showing Diana warmth and kindness.

But when Diana had been her daughter, never once had she received even an ounce of such gentle kindness.

Kate started feeling anxious. “Ms. Winnington, please don’t cry. The professor sent me here to take care of you. If you keep crying, I’ll be reprimanded when I return.”

Kate had no choice but to see if Diana would stop crying on her account.

“You’re pregnant. It’ll be bad for the babies if you keep crying.”

She grabbed a round cushion, and put it behind Diana’s back. Then, she filled a cup with water for Diana to quench her thirst.

Diana felt better under Kate’s thoughtful care.

Speaking of indignation, the one who really should feel indignant should be Kate. She was still in the dark about everything, and had been completely fooled by Jim and his mother.

Until now, the poor woman had no idea that she had been manipulated like a puppet by the mother-and- son pair.

Diana knew she couldn’t cry.

Conversely, she had to be strong.

Now wasn’t the time to feel indignant.

This time, she had to take Kate out of this place. She just didn’t know if that young man who said that there was a bad person trying to hurt her was referring to Julian.

As long as he was here, she had hope.

Diana gradually stopped crying as she began praying in her heart.

Yet, after she finally managed to calm herself, she heard someone push open the door of the lab.

“Ms. Winnington,” said the young man from before. His gaze landed on Betty.

“There are some toys for children outside. Shall I bring her out to pick some?”

Diana shook her head. “No need. She’ll just stay by my side.”

Diana trusted no one from this place.

No matter how innocent this young man looked, he was on Jim’s side. Now that Jim had revealed his true colors, she couldn’t possibly let her daughter out of her sight so easily.

The young man shrugged helplessly. “Then I’ll bring them all in for you.”

As it turned out, he genuinely wanted to bring Betty out to get some toys.

Guilt flashed past Diana’s eyes. “I’m sorry, but we don’t need anything more.

Just go and busy yourself.”

She felt more comfortable without the young man around. At the moment, she was in the innermost room of the lab. NôvelDrama.Org content.

The young man nodded.

“The washroom is right inside.” He pointed at the en-suite room in the house.

“There’s toilet paper prepared. Feel free to use it.” With that, he turned to leave. Once again, only Diana, Kate, and Betty were left inside.

Diana continued to observe Kate. She didn’t look different from before-her skin was still smooth, with no sign of wrinkles. Aside from giving her a second round of amnesia, the Hughes family seemed to be treating her pretty well.

Kate noticed Diana kept staring at her. She started smoothing out her hair, feeling slightly awkward. “Miss Winnington…”

Her behavior was worlds apart from the haughty and proud Kate of the past.

“Did I do something wrong?”

Diana shook her head profusely.

“No, no.” Her heart ached for Kate. “I just feel as though I know you, and I have a good impression of you. I couldn’t help but stare at you.”

Tears sprang into her eyes.

They were clearly mother and daughter, standing so close to each other, but Diana couldn’t call Kate “Mom”.

More time was needed before Diana could acknowledge Kate as family. Diana had to think of an easy-to- digest way to share her life with Kate before the latter lost her memories.

She hoped that Kate wouldn’t faint upon hearing the truth.
