Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Simon came while Diana was lost in her thoughts and memories.

He sat in his wheelchair, and draped a scarf around her shoulders. He looked at her with a pained gaze, and asked,”

Do you regret it?”

“I do.”

Simon’s face twitched. It was an expression of relief mixed with joy.

Diana had no capacity to figure him out. Whatever it was, she was thankful that he came today.

But… Why couldn’t it be Julian?

He was the one she wanted to see the most.

The man who went through so much with her. The man who could make her fall in love with him again, even after she lost her memories.

He clearly knew the pain of not having her around when he needed her the most. Yet, he chose to abandon her and not come looking for her.

Diana smiled weakly. She didn’t try to guess what Simon was feeling right now.

She was feeling ambivalent about Simon. Naturally, that meant she didn’t care about his feelings.

She heard herself reply to him, “I regret not taking this medicine earlier.”

Simon’s face changed again.
