Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Julian’s Stand-In Wife chapter 1455
Diana thought the same. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have needed to go to such great lengths to invent a memory loss pill.
The thought of the burdens of the past Kate was forced to bear brought Diana to tears. Her feelings toward Kate became even
more complicated, and she felt her heart being torn apart.
“People like you aren’t fit to be doctors!” she screamed.
“I’m not a doctor,” Jim said as he pushed his glasses up his nose bridge. He looked even more confused and innocent than
Diana. “My mother isn’t a doctor, either. We are merely researchers in the medical field.”
“My ass!”
Diana couldn’t hide her disgust toward Jim any longer.
She spat at him, and exclaimed, “What researchers? Don’t insult that term!
Don’t insult experts, either! You people are thieves who make use of resources and advanced knowledge to steal and destroy
other people’s lives!”
Diana glared at the indifferent man standing before her.
At that instant, Jim was filled with doubt.
He couldn’t understand her train of thought.
“Why do you think that way? Some people lead very miserable lives, and want to forget the past and be happy again. People like
them can do that when they take the pill we develop. We’re clearly trying to help people.”
“Help people?! You are equipped with such excellent resources and knowledge.
Instead of developing drugs to cure cancer and researching how to save lives, you’re wasting effort in something like this. You’re
not helping people, you’re harming people!”
Jim didn’t agree with her at all. “So do you mean that only the pain of cancer patients matters? Do we only need to care for
people with terminal illnesses? Or do you mean to say that we can forget about doing little acts of kindness?”

Diana’s scalp went numb when she saw how serious he looked. “Don’t insult the idea of kindness.”
Jim chuckled. “Am I bringing insult to every single term I’m using now?”
“Yes,” Diana said with a nod. “Jim, my mother...”
The mention of Kate burned Diana’s tongue. The tears she had been fighting to hold back finally fell, cascading down her
cheeks.
Seeing Diana in a bad mood, Jim’s expression changed. He hurriedly handed her a napkin. “Don’t cry.”
Diana thought he was finally showing a humane side to himself, but then she heard him say, “Crying like this isn’t good for fetal
development. Your children are my children. In the future, I’ll be raising them to adulthood.”
She was stunned. She felt even worse, as if someone had reached into her chest and was squeezing her heart.
“I won’t let you touch my children.”
Jim remained silent, merely smiling in the face of Diana’s objection. He even reached out to pat her back, wanting her to calm
down and to make her feel better.
Yet, his actions only made Diana’s hair stand on end.
Aside from Julian, she never had her back touched so intimately by another man. Even though Jim didn’t touch her with sexual
intent, his touch felt like a bomb that exploded on her back.
At this point, she was rather fearful of Jim treating her as an insider.
The closer he thought he was to her, the more he would treat her babies as his.
And yet, her babies clearly have nothing to do with him! What right did he have to take them away from her?
What right did he have to confine her in here?
