Chapter 535
What's Going On With Julian "I'm fine. I can still hold the both of you," said Susan Shelby with a smile.
The two children left sensibly.
Lucas Shaw said in all apparent seriousness, "You're sick so you have to rest properly. You’re not allowed to be stubborn. Mommy."
Seeing Lucas' adult-like behavior, Susan could not help pinching his cheek, amused.
Even though she felt that she was already doing fine, she still went to lie on the bed under everyone's constant urging.
The two children guarded Susan for a long time until Susan ordered the servant to take them to nap, and only then did they leave unwillingly.
However, the rest of the people still guarded the area without letting her out of sight.
"Susie, are you really fine?” There was a look of concern in Luna Harris' eyes that could not be concealed.
There were so many viruses in Susan's body. She was really worried that something would suddenly happen one day.
"I feel well now." Susan said with a smile," Moreover, didn't the doctor say that the fever from earlier was the last?”
"Right right right. It must be fine because the doctor said so. Susie is going to be completely fine from now on," chimed in George Wright.
'It's rare for you to make a remark that sounds sensible." Luna glared at George.
George immediately shut his mouth in grievance.
'My wife bears grudges very much , she still resents me for bringing up Julian.’
Susan regarded them as having their usual daily quarrel so she paid no attention to that.
Susan felt rather stressed with a large group of people guarding around her with anxious expressions.
She could not help looking at Jacob Shelby and Seth Leeds. "Don’t you both need to go to the company?"
"It's fine. It's only a day—the company won’t go bankrupt yet," said Jacob calmly.
"That's right. What we’re doing is known as seizing the opportunity to take a break," said Seth while chuckling.
There was nothing Susan could do so she looked toward Oliver Wright. 'Oliver, don’t you need to report to duty yet?"
"I've been on leave recently." Oliver did not show the intention to leave either.
Susan then looked toward Luna and
George. "Dad, Mom, you..."
"We both are really free so there’s nothing for us to do." Luna held Susan's hand right away. "Susie, please allow me to stay here. Otherwise, I won't be at ease."
Susan was rather shocked but she felt warm and fuzzy in her heart as well.
She did not reject again but she nodded nonchalantly.
She was under the assumption that these people would only be nervous for a while
before they were done originally.
Yet, she had to brace the nervous gazes of these people every moment for the next three days beyond her expectation.
For three days, two people would guard by her side at the very least.
Luna insisted on sleeping next to her at night.
She moved ever so slightly and someone would immediately bring her water.
She swayed ever so slightly when she walked and someone would help her anxiously.
Three days passed. Susan felt as if she was having some super serious illness while in a daze.
She wondered if everyone was being a little overly anxious?
It was even more puzzling to Susan that there was no news of Julian Shaw after all this time.
She wanted to contact Julian all along yet she was being constantly monitored by so many pairs of eyes all day long. She could not even find time to make a call.
Susan was not a foolish person. She felt a vague ominous presentiment in her heart.
Did something happen to Julian?
As soon as the idea emerged in her mind, it entwined Susan's entire person akin to vines.
Susan seized the opportunity when she was all alone with Luna once. She grabbed Luna’s hand and asked with a shaky voice," Mom, it has been three days. Please tell me, where is Julian?"
Julian is away on business,” said Luna.
"Even if he is away on business, it's impossible for him to not have time to give me a call.” Susan denied it right away.
"It's possible that the business trip is quite urgent..." Luna concocted the lie recklessly.
"Mom!" Susan interrupted her. "You should know that I won’t believe a lie like this at all."
"I'm telling the truth.” Luna insisted.
The more Luna behaved like this, the more flurried Susan felt in her heart.
She clenched her teeth and suddenly asked shakily, "Mom... Did something happen to Julian?"
During this period of time, everyone was being overly cautious around her and this made Susan panic.
Countless terrifying ideas crossed her mind. The blood flowing in her entire body was almost frozen by the terrifying speculations.
"Nothing..." Luna still wanted to hide the truth.
"Mom!" Susan looked at Luna almost in a pleading manner. "No matter what happened to Julian, I'm still his wife and I have the right to know the truth."
She was already mentally prepared for the worst.
Judging by everyone's behavior, she speculated that Julian might have encountered an accident. However, he was still her husband regardless of which type of accident he encountered. The more he was trapped in a difficult situation, the more she wanted to be with him to face it.
Luna pursed her lips and refused to speak.
Susan's entire body was shaking involuntarily. Why did her mother still refuse to tell despite her inquiries? Could it be that...
"Julian, is he...is he..." asked Susan in agony. Her heart was convulsing in pain at this very moment.
Noticing her agitation, Luna realized that Susan misunderstood something so she could not help saying, "Susie, it's not what you think it is. Julian is fine, and he is doing alright."
"Mom, stop hiding from me.” Susan looked at her, misty-eyed. "If it's not because something happened to Julian, why hasn't he contacted me after all this time? If it’s not because something happened to Julian, why are all of you guarding me 24 hours a day? You may hide from me for a while, but you can't hide it from me for the rest of my life!"

Luna immediately panicked as soon as Susan cried.
She wiped away Susan's tears and felt sadness surging into her heart.
The matter could not remain hidden after all.
They wanted Susan to find out about the matter a little later initially.
They would count the day if they could make her happy for one more day.
Yet now, Susan had already speculated in that direction so it would be meaningless if they still insisted on not telling her the truth.
"Susie, the matter is not what you think it is. However, it's not much better than what you've imagined either..." said Luna through her clenched teeth.
"What’s going on?" Susan's entire body was tense.
"I-1 can't bring myself to say it. You'll just have to look at the photo yourself." Luna passed her phone right away.
Susan held the phone and brought up the photo shakily.
In the beginning, she was still worried that she might see a bloody scene.
Yet, an incredulous look flashed past her eyes at the very moment she saw the photo.
The photo was none other than Julian and Willa Doyle.
Willa Doyle!
Why was Willa in Skyking City! Moreover, why was Julian with her!
Was there something that these people wished to talk about?
