Chapter 638
Julian didn't spare anyone who harmed the babies, not even himself.
He went without food for multiple days until his body couldn't bear it any longer. Only under Noel's persuasion did
he eat some soup. It was the kind of nourishing soup that Diana excelled at making.
Even though Diana didn't make it herself, it still carried a warmth that made him value his own life.
And this bowl of soup was served to him by none other than Mr. Carter.
"Sir..."
Mr. Carter had heard from Noel about Diana's pregnancy; he had wept and regretted his actions deeply. He even
knelt until his knees were bloody and torn, filled with immense pain and remorse.
"I... This old servant of yours..."
Having served the Fulcher family all his life, it wasn't unusual or exaggerated for him to refer to himself as an old
servant. Julian usually didn't like such strong distinctions of status, so he never allowed the old man to call himself
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthat. But now, Mr. Carter knew that he couldn't stay in the family anymore. Even if he called himself an old servant,
Julian wouldn't reprimand him.
After all, Julian no longer regarded him as one of his own.
Looking at the young man he had cared for since childhood, Mr. Carter's eyes grew even mistier.
"This old servant didn't know about the madam's pregnancy... When I found out, I had already made a grave
mistake."
"No." Julian finally spoke up after hearing Mr. Carter's words. "Even if Diana wasn't pregnant, harming her was
already a grave mistake. And hurting her while she was pregnant was an even greater mistake! If it weren't for you
switching the powders and having a bit of conscience..."
Mr. Carter should already be in prison, with no possibility of seeing the sun ever again in his entire life.
At this point, Julian stopped speaking. No matter how much Mr. Carter begged and pleaded, Julian remained
indifferent.
"I won't see you off."
The old man, who had worked in the Fulcher family for a lifetime, left in a desolate manner. Julian didn't even spare
Mr. Carter a glance when he finally left.
There were deep wounds and scars on Mr. Carter's knees. The discomfort was unbearable not only on rainy days,
but even on regular days.
This was Diana's first time hearing about Mr. Carter's outcome, and she felt a little emotional.
"Actually, he was a good butler."
During the three years of their marriage, Mr. Carter managed everything in the villa with great efficiency.
"Luckily, he switched those powders."
If he hadn't, the consequences would've been even more tragic than a miscarriage. Now that Diana knew Julian
hadn't shown mercy to those who harmed her and hadn't been burdened by sentimental attachment, she was
relieved.
"As a mother, I'm also responsible for what happened to my babies."
At that time, she often worried about experiencing the same fright she had gone through after being abducted by
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLuke. The emotional entanglement between her and Julian also left her restless.
In reality, she understood that the powder was only one of the causes of her miscarriage. It seemed Heaven was
punishing her and Julian, causing them to lose so much time and their babies.
For parents, what could be a deeper punishment than losing their children?
Just the thought of Aster and Star made Diana’s heart ache.
Noel had no intention of stirring up this sad topic, and quickly changed the subject. As he did so, he handed her a
USB drive. "Ma'am, this is a recording related to Miss Kayla. Mr. Fulcher said you should watch it."
He emphasized, "I didn't miss a single thing. I recorded the whole thing from start to finish."
When Diana took it, her lips twitched slightly. "Is it bloody?"
Noel chuckled. "Ma'am, Fulcher Inc. doesn't involve itself in anything violent. We wouldn't do anything like that. Only
those who are desperate to please Fulcher Inc. by any means necessary would take such a brutal path."
It just so happened that those who were dealt with were the scum of society and the dregs of humanity.
Just like the Pabian family, who had dealt with their own flesh and blood Luke. From the family's actions, it was easy
to tell that it was impossible for them to raise virtuous sons. It was why Luke committed numerous crimes and
continuously harassed women, yet was repeatedly released without punishment.
