Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 1506
Julian glared hard at Simon, as if trying to bore a hole through his soul.
"Where is Diana?"
Simon couldn’t speak; instead, he pointed at a room.
Panicky, he started making horrible raspy sounds.
Julian, whose fist was about to land on Simon’s face, paused in midair.
"Simon, what's wrong with you?"
Thinking of the letter, he got a bad feeling.
Simon looked emotionlessly at Julian.He grabbed Julian's wrist and walked forward.
The room wasn't actually a room at all.
It was a huge lab suite with a small room inside.
Rather than calling it a small room, it looked more like an office.
After pushing open a door of the same color as the walls, many herbal medicines could be seen.
There was a sofa, a foldable bed for resting, and a huge office desk.
A display cabinet stood right opposite the door, filled with all sorts of samples.
Aside from a wide variety of herbal medicines, there were many fetal samples.
They all looked to be in the embryonic stage.
They were all soaked and stuffed in bottles put on display.
Just one glance would make one’s hair stand on end.
A second would give shock and fright.

Julian did have some medical knowledge, so he knew that such medical samples were not out of norm.
However, he found it overwhelming seeing so many at one go, especially now that he was a father of four.
This was...
He looked at Simon, and asked, "Is this Jim’s office?"
Simon nodded.
They walked deeper into the office, and realized that there were more than one cabinet of samples.
In fact, there were multiple rows of them.
It resembled a school library, with rows of bottles with fetal samples in them and labeled with dates.
Great fear rose in Julian’s chest.
What if Jim lured Diana to Jacroaof to make their babies in her womb fetal samples like the ones he was seeing...? Julian
shuddered, feeling a chill up his spine.
He turned to Simon, and asked again, "Do you know where Diana is or not?"
They were almost at the end of the office, but they still hadn't seen anyone else.
Julian didn’t understand what Simon was trying to do.
Simon raised a hand, signaling for Julian to not panic.
He pointed ahead, and Julian saw his eyes turning solemn.
Julian took two steps forward, passing by the rows of bottles.
He looked up, and his eyes widened.
"Jim Hughes!"
Julian didn’t know when or how, but Jim moved after than he did.
Jim restrained Diana and Betty behind him, then looked calmly at him.

"Between your wife and daughter, I'll only give one of them back to you," Jim said.
He then looked at Diana.
"Tell me, should I hand you or Betty back to Julian?"
A mother’s love rose above all else.
Diana didn’t hesitate.
She looked at Julian, her eyes filled with tears.
"Julian..."
She had missed him badly over the past few days.
She shouldn't have been angry at him and walk into a lion’s den.
Now, both she and her children had to suffer.
"I won't be able to forgive myself if anything happened to Betty.Take Betty away right now."
Jim was no ordinary man.
She bit her lip, and clenched her trembling fists.It took so much from her to say what she wanted to say next.
"He tied explosives to his body.Julian, take Betty away."
Jim tied explosives tied to himself? Julian stared blankly at the man seated on the chair, bewildered.
"Jim, I can give you anything you want.You..."
"Don't bother negotiating with me.I won't agree to anything you offer.I just want Diana to stay," Jim said indifferently.
He was impenetrable.But in the same way, Julian would never agree to that.
