Chapter 244 Never Had a Normal Relationship Before
Emelia didn’t hear any response from Julian but only the sound of running water.
She had to call him. “Julian?”
A thought came to her mind, “Could it be that he passed out because staying too long in the rain?”
Then the situation would be awkward now. How could she save him if he fainted when taking a bath?
Thinking of this, Emelia could only knock on the door and shout, “Julian, are you alright?”
The sound of water stopped, and the man’s hoarse voice sounded again. “I won’t die.”
Emelia was furious by his words. Did he deliberately speak in such a gloomy tone to embarrass her?
Not wanting to talk to him anymore, Emelia turned around and walked out of the bathroom.
While sitting in the sofa and waiting for Julian, Emelia couldn’t help but complain to Nina on WhatsApp about Julian’s preposterous behavior tonight.
After hearing this, Nina responded her with some laughing emojis. Then, she said, “The rain today is as heavy as that when Julian went to the Longerich family to look for Emelia.”
Emelia was a little speechless. She knew that meme. The rain today was as heavy as that when Andy Dufresne succeeded in escaping from the prison; or as heavy as that when Robert Kincaid separated Francesca Johnson.
But she never thought that Nina would use it to make fun of Julian. As soon as she thought of Julian’s look of self-torment in the rain, she became furious. “What an annoying person he is! Childish!”
As soon as she finished complaining about Julian, Emelia heard the door open and saw Julian walked out, dressing neatly with blown dry hair.
At the first sight, Emelia slightly frowned because of the abnormally red face of Julian.
She got up and walked over to him and asked, “Why is your face burning like mad?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Julian suddenly hugged her. His handsome face, which was burning, pressed against her neck.
“Emelia, I really can’t live without you.” His tone sounded very sad. Only then did Emelia realize that he had a fever, which caused his voice to sound so hoarse.
“Julian, you have a fever!” Emelia couldn’t be bothered to listen to him. She quickly pushed him, trying to see his face clearly.
After being pushed, Julian couldn’t stand still due to the high fever. He simply fell onto the sofa next to him, which startled Emelia. “Julian!”
Vincent and Naomi, who came here after learned the news, did not expect such a situation. Naomi turned around and ordered the nanny, “Call the family doctor to come right now.”
It was raining heavily outside. They couldn’t send Julian in fever to the hospital and had to ask the family doctor to come.
Vincent helped Emelia to carry Julian to the bed in the guest room. Emelia took a wet towel over and put it on his forehead as a physical cooling.
After everything done, Vincent stared at the man on the bed who was dizzy because of the high fever. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he could do nothing about it.
Originally, he had planned to teach Julian a lesson and then drive him away after he changed his clothes. However, now that Julian had a fever, he couldn’t drive him away anymore.
The family doctor arrived very soon. After the examination, he diagnosed that Julian caught cold and fever due to fatigue of the long journey and rain. After asking Julian to take the antipyretic, he prescribed some anti-cold medicines.
Vincent said discontentedly, “A young and strong man has a fever just because of standing in the rain for a while. He is weaker than me!”
Not only Vincent but also Emelia was puzzled.
She had lived with Julian for three years, and no one knew better than her how strong he was. Except for some stomach troubles due to his busy work and social functions, he hardly got sick.
She didn’t understand why Julian caught a cold and had a fever because of rain this time.
What they didn’t know was that Julian was so disheartened that his body couldn’t hold on any longer.
From the time he learned that Emelia and Winston had spent most of the morning chatting in the coffee shop, till he saw Winston holding Emelia’s hand, his heart had been broken.
Life was hopeless.
It could also be said that his fury caused a fever.
Emelia fed him some medicine. Just as she was about to get up from the bed, she was grabbed by Julian. The man’s palm was hot with fever, causing her heart to tremble.
She tried to pull back her hand, but Julian held her tightly and murmured, “Don’t go…”
“Don’t leave me, Emelia.” Although he was dizzy, he instinctively wanted to keep her.
Vincent was so angry that he stepped forward and patted Julian’s hand. Then, he pulled Emelia’s hand back from his palm.
“Catch a break if you have a fever. Don’t think you can take advantage of her.”
Naomi didn’t even have time to stop Vincent from beating Julian. She was also a little helpless that she never expected that Vincent would beat someone. It seemed that a father’s attitude toward her daughter was really special.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Emelia glanced at the back of Julian’s hand, which had been flushed. She turned to Vincent and Naomi and said, “It’s late. Go back and rest. I’ll stay and watch him.”
Vincent disagreed. “No, you go to rest. I’ll stay.”
Vincent was very afraid that if Emelia stayed alone, Julian would take advantage of Emelia after his fever was gone.
But how could Emelia let an elder like Vincent stay to take care of Julian? She insisted on letting Vincent and Naomi rest, so Naomi took Vincent and left.
“No matter what, the two of them need to get along with each other alone.” Naomi comforted Vincent in this way, “Let them talk about it with each other after Julian’s fever is gone, and then we’ll ask them.”
Vincent could only listen to Naomi. They went back to their rooms to rest.
Emelia sat down on a single sofa in the corner of the guest room, observing Julian’s condition while chatting with Nina.
Julian had taken the antipyretics. If the fever dropped after a while, he should be fine. Otherwise, according to the doctor’s words, it would be troublesome. He might get a pneumonia and had to be sent to the hospital.
Nina couldn’t help clicking her tongue when she heard that Julian had a fever. “I have no choice but to admire him. This time, even the heavens are helping him. I’m afraid that he would eventually become a part of your family.”
Emelia was so annoyed. “We can’t just stand by and watch. What do you think he wants?”
Nina said, “He just wants to be with you again. Why don’t you two try to get along again?”
“Speaking of which, you two have never been in a normal relationship. At first you had sex, and then got married. You two have completely gone against the normal process of love.”
Emelia pursed her lips tightly and did not speak for a long time.
She really didn’t dare to do that. She didn’t dare to love him again.
If she was hurt by him again, her heart would probably be utterly broken for the rest of her life.
