Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Chapter 279 Uncovering My Wife’s Secrets

Layla Cory was only 19 years old. Although she was scheming, she was nothing compared to people like Julian

Parks, who had many years of experience on this kind of battlefield. She had no idea there was a deeper meaning

behind Julian's question. She followed the preplanned script and regurgitated her lines with a sobbing voice,

"Julian... I... I don't know why I'm here either. I was on my way to school when someone inexplicably knocked me

out with a stick. When I woke up, I found out I had been kidnapped. Boo hoo..." At this moment, Grandpa Samuel

groaned in pain again. Julian panicked. "Grandpa!" He saw at once that Grandpa Samuel's leg was bleeding. His

eyes turned bloodshot and he uttered through tightly gritted teeth, "Dammit!" Pow!

Julian sent another flying kick to one of the men who was holding onto Grandpa Samuel earlier. The kick was so

vicious that it sent the man flying and he smashed into the wall with a loud crash. Initially, the two men were

crouching on the ground, waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack on Julian. In the end, after one of

them was kicked so hard that he cried out in pain, the other person instantly lost the courage to approach again. He

stepped back cautiously, afraid of angering Julian.

However, pretending to be docile at this point could no longer mollify Julian's anger. He landed another kick on the

man who was trying to sneak away and sent him flying too. Immediately after that, his sharp gaze shot toward the

woman in the black butterfly mask. The woman's eyes widened slightly in fear. "Julian..." Grandpa Samuel saw that

Julian seemed to have gone berserk, and was afraid that he would lose all rationality. In his opinion, their current

situation was already very advantageous. Their best course of action now was to leave immediately and then call

the police.

Whether these people were kidnappers or murderers, they would be handed over to the police. Julian shouldn't be

taking things into his own hands and getting his hands stained with blood in the process. "Grandpa..." Tears welled

up in Julian's eyes. Annalise knew that Julian was too worried about Grandpa Samuel now. He was no longer able to

remain calm and rational. She immediately signaled with her eye to Trevor to take over the dagger in her hand.

Trevor took over the dagger at once and held the woman in the black butterfly mask hostage. Annalise rushed over

and squatted down. She immediately deployed the silver needles to help Grandpa Samuel stop the bleeding.

After piercing both his legs with a few needles, she turned to Julian and comforted him. "Grandpa is fine. It's my

fault for not protecting Grandpa well." Julian's throat quivered once. He reached out and grabbed Annalise's hand

wordlessly. He simply held her hand tightly. It was not Annalise who had not protected Grandpa Samuel well. It was

Julian himself. The moment he pounced on Grandpa Samuel and rescued him, he saw Annalise. When he saw her

holding the dagger against the masked woman's neck, he noticed that her expression was so vigilant and her

concentration was so highly focused. She had been battling with the kidnappers all the while. Yet she was a

pregnant woman!

At that juncture, Julian's heart was all tensed up Julian was extremely thankful that Annalise was unharmed at that

moment. He was even more gratified to see that she had the upper hand. When he saw that Annalise was fine, he

then immediately checked Grandpa Samuel's condition. Upon hearing Layla crying for help, Julian felt extremely

disgusted. Regardless of whether she was his savior or not, at this moment, he did not have the mood to care about

her, even if it made him look heartless and callous. When Julian held her hand tightly, Annalise suddenly felt at

ease. She said to him comfortingly, "It's alright. I'll take care of Grandpa's injuries!" "Do you feel... okay?" Julian

asked. His throat felt a little tight.

Annalise was pregnant. First, she rushed to the office of Caretech Pharmaceutical Company. Now, she had rushed

here and even held her adversary hostage. Needless to say, she must have gone through quite a battle. "I'm fine.

Don't worry," Annalise said. In order to make Julian feel more at ease, she said softly, "The baby is fine too. He's

very obedient. Don't worry!" "Mm-hmm." Julian tightened his grip on Annalise's hand. He had calmed down

completely. He then said to Annalise, "Let's leave first!" He picked up Grandpa Samuel and stood up. Next, he

turned to Trevor and said, "Death for the mastermind!" Julian, save me..." Layla immediately cried out.

Why didn't they follow the seript? The woman in the black butterfly mask was also shocked. Julian Parks didn't care

about his elusive love anymore? Was it because he had recognized it wasn't her? Impossible! That was absolutely

impossible! She immediately signaled to Layla with her eyes. Layla immediately cried out in despair, "Julian, have

you forgotten that I saved you?" Julian stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Layla with a steely gaze while

carrying Grandpa Samuel. When she saw that she had gotten Julian's attention, Layla immediately cried,

"Twelve years ago, at Yogan railway station, your asthma suddenly acted You collapsed to the ground, and I helped

to perform acupuncture on you..." Julian Parks interrupted her, "Which day was it?" Layla said, "I'don't remember

what day it was, but remember that it was in the month of May. The weather was still a little cold, and there were

willow catkins fluttering in the air. That day, the temperature dropped suddenly, and your body couldn't cope. Ah, I

remember now. It was a Wednesday."

In reality, when Nancy Zeller asked Layla to put up this act, she had told Layla the exact date. However, making up

such details would make the story sound more authentic. After all, if she remembered the day from 12 years ago

so clearly, it would seem too fake. Nancy knew the details so well because her aunt Sybil Xander had a habit of

keeping a diary. Sybil's writing was not good, but she was great at keeping track of day-to-day accounts of events.

She would even record what happened to her very close friends, or if they shared some important or interesting

matter with her, she would record all of them down.

Moreover, she would even record the minute details. Back then, there was a small image in Sybil's diary that

depicted the method of holding the acupuncture needle with the thumb and middle finger Layla had practiced for

quite a while to master this technique. When Annalise heard Layla's words, she looked at Julian with a peculiar

expression. "Twelve years ago, at Yogan City?" When Julian saw Annalise's peculiar expression, he immediately

panicked. "Annalise, let's go. I'll explain these things to you later." He must not let Annalise misunderstand him.

Before he met Annalise, Julian had been searching for his savior.

After getting to know Annalise, he stopped looking for her. When he found out that his savior was Layla Cory, Julian

only wanted Trevor to take care of her. This was to repay her for saving his life, in a sense. Other than that, he

really did not have any other thoughts. "12 years ago, Yogan railway station, asthma, May?" Annalise looked at

Julian with an expression that seemed to have become more complicated. There was a glint of curious probing in

the midst of that complex expression. In the past, Annalise had also saved a very refined, handsome young man

with a squeaky-clean disposition at Yogan railway station.

That was her first time going on a long trip, so she had a deep impression of it. That day was Wednesday. Annalise

remembered it was Wednesday because she had checked the calendar before going out as she was so excited.

This was the first time she had saved someone outside, and she had even asked Joseph Quigley to give her credit

for this deed. Joseph was waiting for an opportunity to educate her. He said that if she wanted to save more people,

she had to study harder. Could it be that coincidental? Julian also had asthma and was saved by another girl? Or

could it be that the person she saved back then was actually Julian Parks? Was someone impersonating Annalise

now?
