Chapter 210 Juliana Falls
Another half month had passed and Juliana was getting more and more anxious. The baby was now in the pelvis and no longer moving, but she could just feel it was coming out, and Sophie had called to say that she would be returning home next week.
One night, while Arthur had not yet returned home, Juliana asked Kane to ask Poppy out. She needed to ask Poppy face to face about it.
When she arrived at the appointed place, Kane came forward to support Juliana as soon as he saw her, and his careful look indicated that he had regarded her as his treasure.
Poppy looked at Kane with hatred, but when they walked over, she raised a smile and asked Juliana, "Julia, why do you ask me out so late at night?"
"I feel like I'm in labor. Have you made arrangements?" Juliana said anxiously as soon as she sat down.
Juliana felt his concern and got a little bit calmer. She looked at Poppy and waited for her answer.
"So soon?" Poppy raised an eyebrow and said, "In that case, I'll have the hospital ready. You just need to give birth at the hospital I specified."
"Don't worry. I can do that," Juliana responded with a nod. "Once the baby is born, there will be no more possibilities for Arthur and Lucia to get back together."
Juliana deliberately mentioned this. This was exactly the reason and purpose of Poppy doing all this. It was a critical moment now. Juliana who did not fully trust Poppy solemnly remind her. "All right." As expected, after Juliana mentioned Lucia, Poppy's eyes were filled with hatred.
"It's no way that Lucia can use Arthur to hit me and Jacob!"
More than that, Poppy hated that Lucia hurt her so much.
'Lucia, after seeing the man you love have a child with another woman, will you be able to pull yourself together this time?'
Thinking that she could make Lucia suffer, Poppy could not refrain from laughing out loud. She was backlit, so her face was shadowed. She looked very horrible like a mad woman. Juliana was a little bit scared of Poppy, so she held Kane's hand tightly to reassure herself.
Kane gently squeezed Juliana's hand and said to Poppy, "Poppy, calm down."
Poppy finally stopped laughing. She wiped tears of joy off the corners of her eyes and said, "Sorry, I got excited and I lost control a little bit when I thought about what would happen to Lucia."
"Do you hate Lucia that much?" Juliana's heart palpitated. It was the first time she felt Poppy's strong hatred of Lucia, and a strange feeling surged through her.
"Of course!" Poppy's face was fierce as she bluntly said, "I hate her so much I wanna see her die!"This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
"Just because she once stole Jacob from you?" asked Juliana cautiously, "But didn't Jacob belong to you in the end?"
"I used to think so, but it turned out that Jacob still had feelings for Lucia ..." Poppy said through gritted teeth.
"I will never allow Lucia to be happier than me!"
Faced with Poppy's extreme hatred, Juliana was speechless, just looking up at Kane with some worry in her eyes.
Kane worried about Poppy's outburst would hurt Juliana, so he said to intervene, "Well, that's all for today. You should quickly go back to rest."
"Well, I'm going back now," Juliana said as she stood up with Kane's help and pinched his arm, "You drive me back."
Kane understood Juliana's meaning, nodded, and accompanied her out of the park where they met. Only when they were far away did Juliana dare to look back at Poppy and see her standing alone in the light. She said to Kane, "Kane, Poppy..."
"Don't pay any attention to her. Let's focus on ourselves," Kane said.
"OK." Hearing Kane say that, Juliana did not pursue the matter and decided to take care of herself and Kane.
"These days you must take good care of yourself. If there is anything wrong, contact me immediately, understand?" Kane revealed his concern for Juliana.
"OK." Juliana nodded, feeling the happiness of being cared for, which prevailed over her gloom.
She smiled and said, "I'll take good care of myself. I'm not afraid with you by my side."
Kane embraced Juliana into his arms, wishing that everything would go well.
Over the next few days, Juliana felt uneasy every day. If not for Kane who reassured her, she was afraid she could not go through it.
Finally, on the day she and Poppy had agreed on, Juliana got dressed, prepared everything, and sent Arthur out as usual.
Standing at the door, she said to Arthur, "Arthur, I've had a very strange feeling lately that the baby is about to come out."
"How come? Isn't it the due date in a month?" Arthur asked.
"I don't know. I just have that kind of feeling," said Juliana as she reached out to touch her belly, her face full of the happiness of being a mother. Arthur saw Juliana's happy face. Affected by her, he said to Peter, who was standing behind them.
"Peter, pay attention to Julia. If there is anything wrong, send her to the hospital right away."
"I contact the doctor who has been doing checkups for me just in case, so if anything happens, send me to her immediately," Juliana added. "Roger that," Peter said respectfully.
"Julia, take care of yourself." Before leaving, Arthur once again reminded Juliana. He vaguely had a bad hunch because of her words.
In the afternoon, while Arthur was having a routine meeting with several executives in his office, his cell phone suddenly rang. He took it out and saw that it was his home landline phone number. His heart thumped, and he immediately thought of Juliana.
He quickly pressed the answer button. From the other end came Peter's anxious voice, and Juliana's painful moans.
"Mr. Davies! Ms. Knight fell accidentally when she was going downstairs. Now the situation is urgent. I have called the hospital. The ambulance will be here soon!"
"What?!" Arthur stood up at once, and the veins stood out on his hand holding the phone.
"The ambulance is here. Mr. Davies, you should come to the hospital ASAP!" Peter said and hung up the phone. Sweat broke out on Arthur's forehead. Without saying anything, he put on the jacket and ran outside, leaving several executives embarrassed.
