Chapter 976
Cecilia was a patient right now.
Julian kept that in mind, and reminded himself that he was here to care for a patient. He truly hoped he could
alleviate Cecilia's condition.
He played along, and said smoothly, "Cecilia, you look very pretty."
Cecilia looked delighted, but Julian didn't expect her to hold Noel even more tightly. She was clinging onto him.
"Make him leave," she suddenly said to Noel, clearly upset." This is my room, and I don't want him inside. It’s
inappropriate.”
She had behaved too inappropriately in the past.
She was too proactive.
That was how she fell into that vixen Diana's trap, which made Julian splash paint on her.
She had to hide herself right now, so Julian wouldn't see her!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat was how she could be demure and appropriate.
That was how she could make Julian like her.
Cecilia's eyes had turned sharp and keen as she spoke.
She looked like she was on the verge of hiding under the bed once more if Julian insisted on staying in the room.
The room was stuffy, and she even bumped her head just now.
Noel noticed that she had a bruise on her forehead.
Yet she didn't find it painful at all, acting as if nothing had happened.
How could someone be so foolish as to only have eyes for Mr. Fulcher, and forget about everything else?
Oh, wait.
She really had turned foolish now.
Pity inevitably filled his eyes as he looked at Cecilia. "Mr. Fulcher..."
This time, he pleaded with Julian to leave the room.
Julian didn't hesitate any longer. "Thanks for holding the fort."
He walked out of the door. He wanted to light a cigarette, but held himself back. In the end, he just played with it in
his hand.
When Julian left this morning, Betty commented about the stench of smoke on him. From that moment on, he
decided that he would quit smoking.
But now, the desire to smoke came back to him again when he felt unsettled. Yet, he could only fiddle around with it
to try to soothe his addiction.
He wondered how Diana was holding up right now.
Did Simon blame her?
Would she cry out of remorse, till her eyes become swollen?
Sue saw him walking to and fro the corridor. Curious, she asked, "How is Cecilia? Where is Mr. Carter?"
"He's taking care of Ms. Jarvis in the room," Julian replied honestly.
Sue immediately became upset.
"Julian Fulcher!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe had been tolerant of him for a long time.
"If you're unwilling to take care of our Cecilia, you can always reject us! We aren't so shameless as to insist on you
to bear the responsibility! You shouldn’t try to placate me by making use of your assistant!"
Julian came here, did nothing, and made his assistant stay in the room with Cecilia. What was he trying to imply?
Cecilia had gone mad, that was right.
But Sue certainly hadn’t. She saw everything as clear as day!
Before Julian had a chance to explain himself, they saw Cecilia hiding behind Noel as the two walked out of the
room.
"Who is she? She's so fierce..." Cecilia said.
"I'm your mother," Sue said. She had seen her daughter exit the room, and wanted to pull Cecilia away from Noel.
Much to Sue's surprise, Cecilia shrunk back and slapped her hand away. Cecilia wrapped her arms around Noel's
waist, and buried her face in his chest.
"No!" she screamed. "I don't want anyone else to touch me! Mommy, protect me!"
She was skinny, but her body still felt soft and tender.
