Chapter 275: Chapter 275

Now Paige Sterling is asking him to touch Julian Hawthorne?

Wouldn’t Julian Hawthorne reflexively slap him away?

"Sis, please, I don’t dare."

"I’ll give you five seconds."

He can only muster courage, lean over, quickly touch Julian Hawthorne’s hand, and then promptly withdraw his hand.

Thankfully, Julian Hawthorne’s hand was held down by Paige Sterling, though it reflexively moved as though to hit him, it couldn’t rise.

Burt Chambers breathed a sigh of relief.

Paige Sterling stared at Julian Hawthorne; after a long time, there was no reaction from Julian Hawthorne.

"Touch again, but this time, for a longer duration."

This time, Burt Chambers was a bit bolder, his hand stayed on Julian Hawthorne’s hand for five seconds.

After five seconds, Julian Hawthorne suddenly got up and rushed to the bathroom, retching.

What? Did he actually throw up? Burt Chambers was disheartened, could it be that he’s so ugly it makes people nauseous? Get full chapters from 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩

Paige Sterling followed him in, Julian Hawthorne only retched but didn’t vomit anything, his face was somewhat pale.

Could it be that the allergy still exists, but the symptoms have changed?

To confirm this, Paige Sterling again made Sonny Chambers touch Julian Hawthorne.

If the time exceeded five seconds, Julian Hawthorne would vomit; the longer the duration, the longer the vomiting, to the point of exhaustion.

Paige Sterling initially had great faith in this bracelet, but she hadn’t expected it to cure Julian Hawthorne’s red-eye symptoms only to start causing him to vomit.

She frowned, but Julian Hawthorne comforted her, "It’s okay, I’m fine."

Paige Sterling couldn’t calm her heart, "Your illness is so strange, what exactly is causing it? What did your previous doctor say?"

Before Julian Hawthorne could say anything, Paige Sterling stood up anxiously.

"I can’t, I need to talk to your doctor."

Previously, it seemed Julian Hawthorne just had a unique physical constitution, but now, it doesn’t seem that way.

Paige Sterling ran to make a phone call to Julian Hawthorne’s doctor, which lasted quite a while.

Burt Chambers and Sonny Chambers looked at Julian Hawthorne with eyes of envy, jealousy, and resentment.

In this household, Julian Hawthorne seemed like a birth child of Paige Sterling, while they seemed picked up from somewhere, Paige Sterling was so biased.

Clearly, she was their sister...

Julian Hawthorne accepted their gaze of envy, jealousy, and resentment quite calmly, and after Paige Sterling finished her call, he immediately leaned towards her again.

Paige Sterling hurried to close the bedroom door, pushed him onto the bed, and began touching him all over.

Julian Hawthorne squinted comfortably, looking very pleased.

Paige Sterling noticed she still didn’t cause any allergic reaction to him and let out a sigh of relief.

"Your doctor said your illness started when you were twelve years old."

Since it’s not congenital, there must be an external cause, "What happened when you were twelve?"

Julian Hawthorne lay on the bed, gently stroking Paige Sterling’s waist, "I don’t remember, there’s a period of my twelve-year-old memory that’s missing."

After Julian Hawthorne spoke, he found Paige Sterling looking deep in thought, as if pondering something.

He sat up, pulled her over and laid her on the bed, then supported his body above hers, asking, "What’s wrong?"

Paige Sterling said, "When I was seven or eight, I seem to have some missing memories too, can’t recall too well..."

Well, isn’t that something.

Julian Hawthorne chuckled, "Do you think we might have met then? Perhaps even lived a legendary love story?"

Paige Sterling rolled her eyes, "Seven or eight, I was just a kid, how could there be a legendary tale?"

Since Julian Hawthorne didn’t remember, Paige Sterling didn’t ask further.

Some things, having chosen to forget, surely have reasons not to remember, she dare not rashly stir up Julian Hawthorne’s memory.

Everything must proceed slowly.

After Skylar Hughes moved out from Angus Langdon’s house, she rented a place by herself.

The apartment is pretty spacious, and now that she has a job, plus Yvette Hughes would send her some living expenses each month, she barely managed to cover her costs.

However, what Skylar Hughes didn’t expect was that her biological parents and stepmother quickly found out where she lived, and expressed their desire to move in with her.

They claimed that the owner of the previous house they rented refused to lease it to them anymore, and now they couldn’t find a place to live.

With this family moving in, chaos would surely follow, what quiet and privacy would she have?

Skylar Hughes certainly refused.

The stepmother, not one to be crossed, pointed at Skylar Hughes and said, "You ungrateful girl, we were the ones who took you in and fed you when the Sterling Family kicked you out, now when we’re in trouble, you’re just going to watch us suffer?"

She then said to Mr. Hughes, "Look at your daughter, no wonder the Sterling Family doesn’t want her, her ungrateful nature is so vile, if it were me, I’d also be hesitant..."

The stepmother scolded at the door, making Skylar Hughes’ face appear downtrodden, afraid the neighbors might hear.

Mr. Hughes also looked disappointedly at Skylar Hughes.

When he first took Skylar Hughes back, he still recalled her childhood image, thinking she was obedient and well-behaved.

For Yvette Hughes to allow the Sterling Family to kick Skylar Hughes out, she wasn’t fit to be a mother at all.

But as time passed, he realized Skylar Hughes was nothing like he imagined.

This girl is high-minded and looks down on the poor, calling whoever is wealthy her father, with no regard for her biological dad.

Yet he always considered that it’s because Skylar Hughes didn’t grow up by his side, leading the Sterling Family astray, it’s not her fault, but the Sterling Family’s.

However, when thinking that way, he never considered what he did wrong by leaving his court-appointed daughter with Yvette Hughes, and the Sterling Family had no obligation to raise his child.

Now seeing displeasure on Skylar Hughes’ face, Mr. Hughes said, "Skylar, if you really don’t want us to move in, then we’ll..."

The stepmother immediately interrupted Mr. Hughes, "If we don’t move in, where will we live? With such a big family, should we end up homeless? Also, she’s your daughter, the court awarded her to you, she should be supporting you, how can a father be homeless while his daughter lives well? If this spreads, others would curse your daughter heartlessly..."

This was a clear threat to Skylar Hughes.

If Skylar Hughes refused to let them stay, they could escalate the matter, making sure everyone knows Skylar Hughes watched her biological father go homeless without any action.

Skylar Hughes was furious but what could she do?

This family was the sort of troublesome bunch she couldn’t shake off like a sticky candy.

Mr. Hughes was vocally concerned about her, but if he truly cared, why show up suddenly? Why drag such a big family down with her?

After they moved in, just as Skylar Hughes suspected, there was chaos every day, and they received several complaints from neighbors living on the same floor.
