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

Chapter 138

When Julie woke up again, she found herself in the hospital.

Her memories started playing back like a film reel.

All she remembered was dragging her suitcase, suddenly feeling a sharp pain in her stomach, and then staggering towards the company’s entrance.

Just as she walked out of the doorway, she heard a familiar, childish voice yelling, “Mama Julie!”

Then, the endless flash of camera lights…

Julien, hand in hand with Ivan, squeezed through the swarm of reporters to get to her.

Ivan clung to her leg, refusing to let go. Then Julien’s gaze shifted behind her, and in the moment Julie turned around, she saw Kieran’s tall figure.

Then Ivan called out to Kieran uneasily, “Dad…”

Then, an onslaught of camera flashes aimed at her again.

Eventually unable to endure the severe pain in her stomach, Julie collapsed into Kieran’s arms.

When she woke up again, she was in the hospital.

She saw white walls and IV bags by her bed. The pain in her stomach was much less. Julie guessed it was either gastritis or enteritis, an issue she’d had since childhood.

From outside, she heard Kieran’s angry voice, “If the news can’t be suppressed, then fire the entire PR department!”

He must be talking about what just happened at the company’s gate. All those media people had been waiting for so long, just to dig up some gossip, right? Now that they got their headline news, of course they would report it with all their might.

Even if Kieran wanted to keep the whole thing under control, he would need to put in some effort. But what Julie didn’t expect was Ivan

suddenly showing up at the company’s gate.

Kieran seemed to hang up the phone outside, and then he asked, “Do you realize what you did wrong?”

Then Julie heard Ivan’s stubborn reply, “No!”

“What do you mean, ‘no’?” Kieran’s voice was stern.

Ivan calmly replied, “I only have one Mama Julie. You’re so useless, what if she leaves again?”

“If she really wants to leave, do you think you can keep her by holding onto her leg?” Kieran countered.

Although Julie didn’t want to listen to Kieran and Ivan’s conversation, she was a bit surprised. It was the first time she had ever seen a father educate his child like that…
