Julian’s Stand-In Wife

If he used explosives again, he might end up hurting Diana.
He stared at the password panel, as anxiety overtook him.
His men in the helicopter received no instructions from him. One of them finally asked, “Mr. Fulcher? Do you need help? The
explosives we’ve prepared are sufficient to raze the entire lab to the ground.”
“Don’t,” Julian said, stopping them from doing something so dangerous. “My wife is inside. Wait for my orders.”
Should they just be waiting here aimlessly if they’re not using the explosives?
No wonder Jim didn’t make any move after seeing him and his mother communicate, Julian thought. Jim was certain he wouldn’t
be able to make his way in.
Just as Julian was at his wit’s end, the door opened right before him.
Shock flashed past Julian’s eyes. “Simon?! What are you doing here?”
Simon smiled wordlessly.
Ever since he tried the drug, his voice box was destroyed. He couldn’t make a sound. The rare times he could, they sounded
frightening and scratchy.
He had frightened some passers-by, who looked at him as if he were a monster.
Since then, he decided not to say a word.
Julian followed Simon.
He didn’t ask anything further, because he realized that Simon seemed very familiar with this place.
The secure-looking passcode-protected doors posed no challenge for Simon, unlocked with a few quick presses of his finger.
Finally, they arrived at the last door.
This time, Simon wasn’t in a rush to open the door. Instead, he turned around and pulled out a letter, which he handed to Julian.
‘To Julian” was written on the envelope.

Julian looked up in shock, confused as to why Simon would write him a letter.
Shouldn’t Simon have written one to Diana instead?
Julian was about to ask Simon, but the look in Simon’s eyes stopped him.
Simon lifted his finger and pointed to the letter, signaling for Julian to keep it well and read it after he left this place.
At that moment, a strange feeling arose in Julian’s heart.
At that moment, all the disgust he felt toward Simon disappeared. A warmth he never felt toward Simon blossomed in the depths
of his heart.
Before Julian had the chance to revel in his feelings, the door before him opened.
This was the very last door.
Diana was right inside. She was still pregnant. He had come late.
Julian suppressed his agitation and stepped inside. What greeted him was a shocking scene.
There was no one in the lab!
“Diana!” Julian no longer bothered trying to communicate with Simon. He shoved the latter aside and hurried into the innermost
room. “Where is Diana?
Where is Betty?!”
Jim’s mother clearly said that they were locked in here!
Although Simon didn’t speak the entire way when he brought him here, he was clearly trying to convey that Diana was inside.
But where was she? Where was she?!
Julian threw his fist at Simon.
“Where are they? Are you in cahoots with Jim to set a trap for me?!
“Diana treated you so well, and she trusted you so much in the past. What did you do in return?

“You repeatedly try to hurt her. Simon Channing, do you have a conscience at all?!”
Simon did.
Of course he did. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have appeared here.
He was putting his life on the line by standing right in front of Julian and bringing him into the lab. He didn’t want to live anymore.
In fact, he would help Julian save Diana today.
But he had a selfish request, which was for Diana to never forget him. In exchange for his life, he wanted Diana to remember him
forever.
He didn’t care if she remembered him out of guilt and sorrow. He wanted her to never dare to forget about him!
