Chapter 128: SHE IS IN PAIN

"Astrid!" Julian yelled, chasing after her as she ran through the rain-soaked streets.

The droplets fell around them, but Astrid didn’t stop, her mind consumed by the truth that her mother was still hiding secrets from her.

How could she be related to the Matties as a cousin? The thought sent a pang to her heart. It sounded crazy she had snatched her cousin’s man. But why did it hurt her so much that Mattie was her cousin?

Julian finally caught up to her, his clothes drenched from the rain.

"Astrid, for God’s sake, let’s go home! You have all the time to think, not here in the rain!"

Astrid turned to him, her expression stern. "Why are you still out here with me? You’re getting soaked also."

Julian shot back, "Are you crazy? You want me to leave you here and go where exactly?"

Astrid’s thoughts flashed back to all the times Julian had been there for her, showing her kindness and care. Despite their fights, he always showed up, revealing the good part of his heart.

She acted cold to him in the morning, still he left his company to come stay here with her.

She moved closer to him and punched his chest, "Who asked you to come to me?"

He groaned and stared at her in shock, she hit him again, "What gave you the right to care for me?" again another followed.

"What is a billionaire doing in the middle of the rain?" she cried out again hitting him.

"What made you think I would want to be with you after kissing a girl I just found out to be my cousin!" she cried out this time her knees going weak as she fell to the ground.

Watching her broken made him speechless and confused, he didn’t feel for someone else.

The only girl he had acted nice to all his life was Mattie, but the lady before him was having a great effect on him.

He cares about his company more than anyone’s feelings, not even Mattie could make him leave his company that way for that long.

But for this lady, without asking he is ready to do anything. He wants to be the only one to make her smile.

Julian pulled Astrid into a tight embrace, "Cry..." he mumbled this time the rain was beginning to fall heavily.

"No one would stop you," he murmured and then he felt something was covering him.

He looked up to see Larry holding an umbrella and using it to cover them. He then collected it and gestured for him to go back to the car.

He did as told and then Julian covered her with the umbrella now standing there in the rain watching her break into a peal of tears wailing so badly.

"I hate you, Julian! I hate that my mum is lying to me! I hate Mattie!" she screamed out in the rain and Julian looked up in the rain trying his best not to look at her.

The whole rain poured on him for hours and still, he never complained, a few seconds after the rain had stopped he noticed she was no longer crying.

He squatted to her level with the umbrella thrown to the ground and Larry also walked out this time seeing his boss drained.

"Astrid?" Julian called, his voice soft with concern. He touched her, and she shivered involuntarily.

"Hey," he said, his tone surprising her, and he scooped her up from the ground. This time, she didn’t argue, letting him do as he pleased.

They got into the car, and Julian gestured to the driver, Larry, for a napkin.

He gently cleaned Astrid’s forehead as the car drove towards their mansion. Despite being cold and shivering himself, Julian’s only concern was Astrid’s health.

Their car pulled up to the mansion, and Julian quickly helped Astrid out. He didn’t want her to get sick, so he needed to take care of her. As they entered, Maren met them at the door.

"Oh my, what in the world happened?" Maren asked, shocked.

"Get me hot soup," Julian instructed, ignoring her question. He took Astrid to her room.

He dropped her onto the bed, not caring, he helped her undress immediately. Astrid grabbed his hands, staring at him weakly.

"What do you want to do?" she asked, her voice coarse.

"Get these wet things off you so you don’t get sick," Julian replied, his eyes locked on hers.

Astrid slipped her hands out of his grasp. "Go to your girl and let me be," she whispered.

"We can talk about that later," Julian said, his voice calm. "Right now, all I care about is my wife. So, let me take this off, or we can do it the rough way."

Astrid stared into his eyes, hoping he would let go, but she could see the determination in his gaze.

She took a deep breath, her eyes never leaving him. "I will take it off myself," she announced, peeling off her wet clothes. Julian turned his back on her, his shoulders tense.

He decided to go help her prepare her bathtub, he was still preparing it when she walked inside in her bra and pants.

He swallowed hard at this and gestured for her to walk into the bathtub.

She did as told without arguing, "Leave I will bathe myself I am not a kid," he nodded at her.

"Don’t take too long," he instructed her and walked outside of the bathroom. He glanced back at the bathroom door before throwing her dress in the laundry basket and decided to change himself.

As he walked out of the room he sneezed, "Fuck! I caught a cold." he murmured and then heard a snicker at him.

He glanced in the direction to see it was Miles. "Mile, why are you here?" he asked and he just shrugged his shoulders.

"You hate rain, I am stunned you got wet despite knowing it will make you sick." Miles teased.

Miles was supposed to go home but weirdly he decided to come back to Julian’s mansion so he could talk with Maren.

Only for this to occur tonight, he should have gone inside to check on his friend but he knew she needed privacy and couldn’t just burst into the room that way.

Julian glared at him now annoyed, "Are you trying to get me mad?" He pulled off his coat, throwing it at him and Miles shook his head.

"How is she?" he finally asked.

Julian glanced back at him feeling anger bubbling in him, "Stop getting fucking worried about my wife," he let out irritated.

"Whatever, go change," Miles told Julian, not caring about his friend’s anger.

Julian clenched his gist and walked into his room not ready to argue. He peeled his dress off, and went under the shower, his brain messed up as the water hit him.

After some minutes he walked out and changed to a nice casual outfit only then did he notice that Mattie wasn’t in the room.

He picked up his phone to call her when he heard a scream coming from Astrid’s room. Without thinking twice he dashed out of his room heading toward Astrid’s room.

"What is wrong?" he asked the already tensed Miles who couldn’t go in.

"As... Astrid.." Maren stammered running into the bathroom and he immediately rushed inside.

Julian immediately went pale only to see water pouring out from the bathtub Astrid was still not moving.
