Love’s Cunning Ruse ( Mr.Kieran And Julie )

Chapter 188

The figure by the window drew a cigarette and then found a lighter. In the dim room, the flame flickered to life, igniting the cigarette. The fire died, leaving only a twinkling ember behind.

“Do you know why you’re still alive?” The voice was as cold as ice.

Davina Field laid on the bed, unable to move. She felt like a zombie that had just crawled out of a grave; even breathing was a chore, let alone answering questions. She wished this would all end quickly, but it seemed like an extravagant hope.

The figure was a bit far away, and his voice was unclear, but she thought she heard him say, “You don’t have the right to die.”

Tranquil Care Hospital.

When Kieran Hernandez returned to the ward, he found Julie Abraham and Daphne Flores chatting away happily.

As he entered, he overheard Daphne discussing a shocking topic with Julie.

Daphne clearly didn’t expect Kieran to return at this time. She didn’t even have time to retract her words, “So, Julie, do you think Mr. Hernandez has been a two-timer in spirit and body over these years? Or just physically and not emotionally? Or has he been repressing his desires?”

Julie had already coughed a few times and tried to signal with her eyes for Daphne to stop talking. But Daphne was too engrossed in the topic to notice Julie’s hints.

So, Julie failed to stop Daphne from asking this profound question.

Seeing that Julie was not responding, Daphne continued analyzing seriously, “I personally think that Kieran only did it physically. It’s unlikely that he cheated emotionally too!”

“Ms. Daphne, maybe you could ask me directly?” Kieran’s voice suddenly came from behind Daphne, startling her.

She spun around and was shocked to see Kieran right behind her, making her feel extremely embarrassed. She shot Julie a blaming look. The look seemed to say, ‘why didn’t you warn me?’

Julie shrugged innocently, indicating she had tried her best. She had almost gone cross-eyed trying to signal Daphne.

Daphne obviously wouldn’t really ask Kieran this question face-to-face; her immediate reaction was to grab her stuff and leave. She put her phone into her pocket and waved goodbye to Kieran and Julie,

“See ya! I’ll pick you up tomorrow; bye!” Daphne blew a kiss to Julie, gave Kieran an awkward smile, and then made a quick exit.

Kieran walked towards Julie’s bed and leaned on the headboard with one hand while looking down at her somewhat pale face, “What do you want for dinner?”

“Whatever you want to eat!” She replied.

“What I want to eat isn’t being served recently; we can have it in a few days.” Kieran said, with a deep meaning, then asked Julie again, “What do you want?”
