Chapter 7

When Julian woke up again, everything around him was a blurry white expanse, and his nostrils were filled with the strong smell of disinfectant.

The side effects of the alcohol still lingered, his head felt heavy and foggy, and his entire stomach felt a dull, sour ache.

He stared blankly at his surroundings, the模糊的景象逐渐变得清明起来。

Mrs. Albright’s eyes were bloodshot, as if furious.

“What kind of behavior is this, wanting to die for a woman like that? She’s just a housekeeper’s daughter. What do you even like about her?”

His friends gathered around, earnestly trying to persuade him.

“Vivian’s been gone for a month, no news at all. She must have done it on purpose, Julian. Let it go.”

Julian had heard these words countless times this past month.

He had never listened before, and now he just ignored them.

His bloodshot eyes were unfocused and empty, his thin lips pressed tightly, his face full of stubble, showing only stubbornness.

Seeing his stubborn demeanor, Mrs. Albright didn’t want to say anything more to him. She didn’t even glance at him, slamming the door as she left.

The room immediately fell into a dead silence. His friends exchanged glances, then cautiously spoke again.

“Honestly, with your status, what kind of woman can’t you have? Julian, there’s really no need to cling to Vivian like this.”

“You should let her see that you can live a better life without her, that you’ll have more women. And she’ll be nothing without you, won’t she just come crawling back in the end?”

“Yeah, if worst comes to worst, we can find you a few women who look like Vivian. You can train them, isn’t it all the same? What do you say…”

*Bang!* A water glass shattered at their feet, spraying water onto each of their pants. But everyone froze, too terrified to even breathe.

Before, seeing Vivian devotedly stay by blind Julian’s side, they had been disdainful.

A blind man was nothing but a disgraced heir, yet someone still tried to curry favor with him.

But gradually, that disdain turned into envy.

Each of them was a powerful family’s son, constantly changing girlfriends, but they had never encountered a woman so genuinely devoted.

They couldn’t help but introduce women to Julian, yet even after regaining his sight and becoming a formidable figure in elite circles, he never showed interest in other women, doting on Vivian alone.

Until Serena returned.

They pretended to advise Julian while secretly creating opportunities for him and Serena.

Sure enough, this time, they succeeded. Julian’s love for Vivian proved to be fleeting, and a woman like Vivian should realize that there’s no such thing as true sincerity in the world.

Now that Vivian had left, they had expected Julian to completely let loose, but instead, he suddenly went mad.

And now, he wouldn’t even let them say a few words.

“Get out, all of you! From now on, don’t you dare disrespect Vivian again, or I won’t guarantee what I’ll do to your families!”

As his chilling words fell, everyone’s faces instantly paled a few shades. One by one, they made excuses and left the hospital room.

The last man to leave, still resentful, closed the door and pulled out his phone, calling his assistant and sending a picture of Vivian.

“Look carefully at this woman. Go find someone who looks like her for me. The more similar, the better.”

He turned, coldly looking at the closed hospital room door.

He wanted to see how Julian could keep up his act now!
