Chapter 335 Cruel oath
Niki’s face was a bit pale.
Julian fixed his eyes on the woman, waiting for her explanation.
He was playing with the talisman in his hand. The talisman was not big, and it became even more petite when held in the man’s big palm.
Looking from a distance, the material of the talisman was very good. The man’s fingertips meandered along the outline of the protruding “5” character, again and again, casual yet serious.
“Is this talisman from the Spears family?”
In fact, the moment he dropped the talisman on the ground that afternoon, he felt something was wrong. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
The material of an ordinary talisman would always be fragile, let alone Nild’s talisman, which was made of jade.
It is well known that although jade feels hard, its nature is extremely brittle. The better the material is, the more fragile it is.
And Niki’s piece… although it looked like jade, when it fell from such a high place, not only did it not break, not even
the outer skin was scratched at all.
The Spears family is a major family in New York, and the items they own are naturally of high quality.
If this amulet came from the Spears family, it must be made of high-quality jade, which was famous for its fragility.
Unless the Spears family has developed a higher level of jade, it was possible to make the jade so shatterproof.
Niki took a half step back and said, “Julian… what do you mean by that?”
She seemed to feel aggrieved by the man’s questioning and didn’t understand why the man suddenly asked herself
this way.
She didn’t do anything wrong, why did Julian get so fiercely?
Julian raised his eyebrows.
“Just answer my question.”
Niki, however, did not face his questions directly.
She took a deep breath and then spoke slowly, as if trying to fight for her grievances.
“Julian, you just questioned me, asking why I suddenly became so nervous yesterday.”
“What I want to say about this is… emotions are something hard to be explained clearly. Suddenly, there is something, and then it disappears. How can I explain this, Julian?”
Niki looked up at Julian, her eyes were filled with grievances and reluctance.
“Julian, why do you keep asking me?”
“Your tone makes me feel so sad… I clearly didn’t do anything and even fainted, but you not only didn’t feel sorry for me at all, but also treated me so harshly…”
!
Before she could finish speaking, Julian interrupted her. “Don’t shift the topic, answer me.”
“Have you already hinted at the answer by not answering my words?”
Niki realized that she couldn’t avoid it and could only say, “This talisman was passed down to me by my mother…”
“I can swear by my life that this talisman definitely comes from the Spears family.”
As she spoke, Niki stood up straight and knelt down on the floor of the ward.
The speed of her movement was so fast that even Julian couldn’t see it clearly.
“You…” Julian frowned.
Niki ignored Julian. She raised her hand and curled two fingers and swore to God.
“If I tell a lie, I will die on the street tomorrow and never marry Julian.”
It seemed that this oath was not enough, Niki continued, “Well, this talisman was given to me by my mother. Everything starts and ends. If this talisman is not from the Spears family, then my mother will be punished together with me.”
“Just punish… the spirit of my mother in heaven will never rest in peace.”
Her sound was sonorous and powerful, making Julian speechless for a long time.
Julian’s expression was complex.
Listening to the woman’s powerful oath, he felt a wave in his heart.
After all, the resolute appearance of Niki was too convincing.
Moreover, Niki’s mother has passed away, and no one would make such a cruel oath with her dead mother.
Believe it or not, if he continued to question her like this, it would make him not considerate.
Seeing Julian’s expression somewhat softened, Niki knelt on the ground and took a few steps forward.
She blinked her eyes and looked up at the man, with a soft tone.
“Julian… did I do something wrong and make you unhappy?”
If you feel any discomfort in your heart, just punish me, and I have no complaints.”

“I just don’t want to be treated like this without any reason, so I made a vow to prove myself…”
“If you have anything dissatisfied, you must tell me. I will definitely make changes.”
Although Niki was kneeling, she knelt straight.
She looked soft and weak, but it felt like there was something tough in her bones. Her eyes were as clear as moonlight, and there was a sense of Innocence that has been wronged by others.
Julian looked at Niki with a cold expression, but his eyes deepened.
He stopped stubbornly asking her.
“You can rest here for a while, and don’t follow me out.”
The man dropped a sentence and turned around to walk out of the ward.
“Julian… Julian, wait… “Niki saw Julian turn around to leave, quickly standing up from the ground.
She trotted to keep up with the man, reaching out to grab his clothes.
“Julian… can you give the talisman back to me…” Niki held onto the soft fabric, hesitating to speak.
The talisman was with Julian, and she was really uneasy.
“After all, this talisman is a relic given by my mother.”
Upon hearing this, Julian lowered her eyes, his heart twitched slightly, and he handed out the talisman in his hand.
Since this was a relic left by Niki’s mother, he really shouldn’t have held it in his hand.
“Thank you, Julian!”
A familiar touch came from her hand again, and Niki spoke excitedly, loudly thanking him.
She clenched the talisman as if she were holding onto her own destiny.
The man left in silence without speaking.
It wasn’t until Julian came outside of the ward that he stopped the attending doctor who was passing by, and he said, “Please help me take care of that woman in the ward. There’s no need not to let her out of the ward.”
“If it’s really necessary, make sure to report her whereabouts to me.”
“Okay, sir.” the doctor nodded.
After everything was done, Julian walked out of the hospital.
He sat in the car and remained silent for a long time.
When he finally picked up his phone, he realized that there was a missed call.
The name on it stood out – Natalie.

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly, and there were occasional pleasant bird calls not far away.
Natalie slept until dawn, which was the most fulfilling sleep she has had in recent days. If it weren’t for the nanny coming to call her, she might still be asleep.
“Miss, it’s time to get up. Mr. Graham is already in the dining room, and everyone is waiting for you.”
Natalie opened her eyes and was startled by the sound. She quickly sat up from the bed in a panic.
Damn it, yesterday she promised to have breakfast with grandpa, but she got up late today…
Natalie felt distressed and casually put on a shirt and a simple beige blouse, so she hurried to the dining room.
But as she hurried into the dining room with her skirt in hand, she realized something was not quite right.
Why was there someone else sitting in the dining room?
Natalie was stunned.
The atmosphere temporarily became weird.
