Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart
Chapter 334 Illness

As Eric had killed himself by jumping off the cliff, no one could be held responsible for Caroline's death.

When the police found Eric down the cliff, he was already dead. His men were soon arrested. From them, the police knew what Eric had done in recent days, from how Yvonne Sullivan was poisoned and then illusioned to crash into Julian and Emelia's car to how Rosalind Longman and Caroline died.

Rosalind was also poisoned by Eric, who revealed his identity to Rosalind and then told her how he would carry out his revenge. After knowing such an evil plan and the story behind it, Rosalind lost control of her own body and jumped into the sea.

And the poison Eric used would evaporate quickly in cold water. Therefore, the police found no poison within her body since her body had already been soaked in the sea for a long time.

Since Caroline died of drugs, the Hughes family only held a simple funeral for her.

Julian fell ill and had to stay in his bed after Caroline was buried. Then he even became racked by high fever for days.

As his friend and a doctor, Arthur checked his situation and said to Ezra and Phil, "Julian was actually fine. He might have fallen ill only because he was in extreme sorrow.'

And they all know why he was so sad.

In the letter for Julian, Emelia hinted that she was determined to break up with him. After Emelia left, Julian didn't receive a phone call

or a single message from her. He really got no enough energy to do anything else after he had arranged Caroline's funeral. Ezra and Phil looked quite worried, "Then what could we do now?"

Grandpa Hughes was now old and Heather was having a mental breakdown due to Caroline's death. It was said that Gerhard Hughes, who was now abroad, was also seriously injured due to the kidnapping case. He didn't even show up on Caroline's funeral.

Now the three friends of Julian's were the only ones staying beside his bed.

Seeing how Julian suffered now, they all felt sorry for him.

With his eyes fixed on the poor man in coma on the bed, Ezra said, "Coward! We've experienced life and death together but now he is lying on his bed like a coward just for a woman!"

Phil didn't like Ezra's attitude towards women and love, "You could say that just because it doesn't happen to you. If someday the woman you love dumps you, you may fall sick just as Julian does now.'

Ezra sniffed, "It's just a woman. He can replace a new one."

The moment he finished his words, someone knocked on the door and then walked in. It was Maisie Brennan.

Phil instantly threw a glance at Ezra. Now Maisie was Ezra's lover, and she must have heard what Ezra had just said. Phil expected that a quarrel may break out between them.

But things didn't go as what Phil had expected. But it turned out that he didn't know what kind of person Maisie was. She didn't appear angry at all and only put a few files onto the desk, "I'm here to deliver a few documents to you."

Julian was in the hospital, but he also needed to deal with some business affairs when he was sober. Now Maisie and David Brennan were in charge of the Hughes Group's daily operation, but there are still some documents that needed Julian's signature.

Maisie put down the files and asked a few questions to Ezra about Julian's situation before she was going to leave.

Phil said to her smilingly, "Now you look really like a competent manager, Ms. Brennan. No matter who's going to marry you in future, he must be a lucky boy.' "Thank you for your praise, Mr. Henderson,' Maisie knew that he was actually saying these words to Ezra. So, she only replied in a low yet polite voice and left.

Ezra wouldn't marry her no matter how hard Phil persuaded them.

After she left, Phil asked Ezra, "You really have no plan to get married with Maisie?"

Phil admired Maisie from the bottom of his heart, "Though she is of no prominent background, she is outstanding as a business leader.

She could help you to run your company."

Phil didn't exaggerate. Maisie was indeed outstanding.

Having been working as an assistant of Julian for years, now Maisie had already been able to run a company independently. A lot of companies were already keen to recruit them as their managers, but as they were still working for Julian due to loyalty.

But Ezra said lazily, "The only duty of my woman is to obey me and to serve me well in bed. And I don't need any women to help me run my business."

Phil said, "I know. Your love for her is not enough. If you really love her, you'll marry her in spite of her capability and background."

Phil finally concluded with he himself as an example, "As what I did when I married my wife."

He loved her so much so he began to woo her since she was quite young. Finally, with great efforts made, she eventually became his woman.

Outside the room, Maisie was still there. She clenched her hands into fists and a bitter smile climbed onto her face.

She shouldn't have stayed here to listen what they were going to say. She knew what she would get was nothing but humiliation and disappointment.

He never loved her. He would make her his girlfriend only because he had never had any romantic relationship with a woman of her type.

You are such a greedy woman, Maisie.

What you wanted is only to be his girlfriend, isn't it?

One day spent with him is already enough for you, isn't it?

You know he doesn't love you, don't you?

And you also know he would leave you at any time, don't you?

So, what words are you expecting from him? What promise are you wishing for from him?

And... What are you feeling heartbroken for right now?

She said to herself. Then she put on a poker face again before she left.

When Julian finally got better, the first thing he did was to say these words to Arthur, "I must leave the hospital right now."

Arthur didn't know what to say. He had no choice but to talk him out of it, "You have not recovered yet and you dont have to leave the hospital. All the business affairs in your company are now handled by Maisie and David."

Julian said determinedly, "I must replace Emelia.'

Arthur felt helpless, "I know you got a lot of things to say to Emelia. But you'd better do it after you recover."

Julian interrupted his words, "I dreamed of her falling ill. I need to see her.'

Arthur said anxiously, "If she did fall ill, the Longerich's would definitely replace the best medication for her. You don't have to meet her in person. And now you yourself are ill!"

Julian simply ignored his words and quickly got down his bed. But before he could walk towards the door, Ezra came inside. The two friends of Julian's pressed him back onto the bed.
