Blizzard, First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 213

Julian gave Evelyn a long, hard look but said nothing.

"Did you come out to get food?"

Only then did Evelyn remember. "Right, right."

But before she could take a step, Isabel emerged with Edmund.

"If we waited for you, the kid and I would have starved to death."

Evelyn chuckled awkwardly, about to reply when a loud child's voice cut her off.

"Mom!"

"Mom, save me! I don't feel good!"

From where Isabel was standing, she couldn't get a clear view of the villa's entrance.

Plus, Oliver was blocked by two towering bodyguards.

She hadn't noticed him at first.

It was only when she heard his voice that she looked over and asked Julian, "What is he doing here?"

"..."

Good question.

Julian didn't answer, instead ushering them inside. "Go eat. Get back to your work. I'll handle this."

Isabel glanced at the sun overhead.

She could see beads of sweat on Julian's forehead.

The temperature had suddenly spiked today; it was getting hot.

"Have you been out here all morning?"

Julian leaned lazily against the wall. "Yep. Soaking up the sun, getting my vitamin D."

"..."

Isabel asked again, "Is Adrian with him?"

"No."

"Then send him to the police station."

Julian said, "Don't worry about it. Tonight, I'll..."

He had assumed Isabel would be in the lab all day.

He couldn't make a move during the day, and Adrian wasn't answering his phone.

So he'd planned to deal with it at night.

Julian had always been curious about this. "Did you use some kind of illicit drug?"

He sounded displeased. "You haven't fully recovered yet."

"No," Isabel said. "Last time Catherine tested me, I really didn't do anything. It was because the upgraded Y-2, which I'm using to treat my lungs, caused a data anomaly."

"Since my lungs are still in the recovery phase, and I just took an upgraded Y-2 pill, they probably won't find a match. This is something I just discovered."

That put Julian's mind at ease.

His main concern had been potential harm to her body. Now, there was nothing to worry about.

"I'll smooth things over with the police."

As they expected, things unfolded just so.

When Oliver woke up in the hospital, he was uncooperative, just shouting for his mother.

When the doctor asked who his mother was, he said it was Isabel.

He didn't have her phone number, but he gave them Julian's address.

Everyone in Aurelia City knew of Julian.

The hospital contacted him.
