Julian's Stand in Wife

Even if Jim created some questionable medicines in the process, it wouldn't matter. After all, he wouldn't be the one to suffer the consequences of the experimental drugs.

Take Simon, for example. After consuming the latest concoction from Jim's research, he transformed into someone incapable of uttering a word.

Even when Jim asked him to leave the pharmaceutical laboratory, Simon refused to budge.

Little did Jim expect that Diana would call Simon. Jim glanced at Simon, his eyes an indescribable emotion.

Eventually, his mocking tone turned into sarcasm.

“You seem to have deep feelings for her.”

Simon smiled, neither confirming nor denying Jim's words.

Whether the feelings were deep or not, Simon couldn't even figure it out himself.

He recalled that warm Christmas dinner, unsure whether he should continue treating Diana as a woman or regard her as his sister-in-law.
