Nina Sinclair hurriedly rushed over and saw a large group of people gathered around Julian Lancaster’s room, her face involuntarily showing even more anxiety.
She quickly walked forward and finally saw Julian Lancaster lying on the bed. His tall and upright body lay quietly, his face somewhat pale, looking very weak, his breathing very calm and faint.
The scene before her was somewhat reminiscent of the first time Nina Sinclair saw her mother in the hospital many years ago.
She nearly couldn’t stand steady, but Sharon Lancaster noticed her presence and quickly came forward to support her, "Nina, you’re finally here."
"What’s wrong with Julian Lancaster?"
The family doctor, seeing Nina Sinclair appear, said, "Young Master Quentin fainted because he hasn’t had enough rest for a long time and was suddenly stimulated. Now he is immersed in his own world, unwilling to wake up. Perhaps Miss Sinclair, you could wake him."
After speaking, she looked around at the surrounding people, and with difficulty said, "There are too many people here, even the air has become stifling. Everyone should leave, except for Miss Sinclair."
Old Master Lancaster, although feeling it was somewhat inappropriate, seeing that Julian Lancaster hadn’t woken up, had no choice but to compromise.
Finally, the crowd in the room orderly withdrew, leaving only Nina Sinclair there.
Without others watching, Nina Sinclair didn’t feel as pressured and her whole body relaxed.
"Julian Lancaster, how have you been taking care of yourself? To the point of ending up , please wake up quickly, okay? Don’t turn into my mother!" Saying this, Nina Sinclair’s eyes reddened.
She reached out and touched Julian Lancaster’s cheek, feeling a deep pain in her heart.
Suddenly, Julian Lancaster opened his eyes, and Nina Sinclair, startled, quickly withdrew her hand, staring blankly at Julian Lancaster, nearly having forgotten to cry.
Julian Lancaster... wasn’t he in a vegetative state?
Nina Sinclair was so surprised that she could barely speak, just staring blankly at Julian Lancaster.
After a while, Nina Sinclair finally found her voice. She wanted to speak, but unexpectedly Julian Lancaster got up and covered her mouth with his hand. He pulled her into a strong embrace.
His voice whispered softly in her ear, "Don’t make a sound, Grandpa and Grandma are outside, be careful they don’t hear."
Nina Sinclair slowly realized what was happening.
Julian Lancaster was likely pretending to faint. Knowing he was alright, Nina Sinclair’s tightly wound nerves finally eased a little, but thinking of how he deceived people filled her with anger!
"Nina, I missed you so much," Julian Lancaster murmured softly in her ear.
His head deeply buried in her shoulder, pulling her forcefully into his arms, as if carrying endless longing.
Nina Sinclair originally wanted to push Julian Lancaster away, but in his embrace, she felt some attachment and reluctance, ultimately not pushing him away.
In fact, it wasn’t just Julian Lancaster who missed her; during the few days they were apart, she missed him terribly too. Thɪs chapter is updated by novęlfire.net
It was just knowing that she couldn’t let herself go, so she suppressed everything in her heart, using work to numb her emotions. Today, hearing Sharon say that Julian Lancaster had fainted, she was almost panicked.
