Love's Cunning Ruse novel Chapter 58

Grant never saw it coming, Kieran popping up out of nowhere at a moment like this. Least of all, Kieran unexpectedly carried Julie in his arms right in front of everyone.

Julie was as white as a sheet, her face glistening with sweat, making it particularly noticeable.

Kieran calmly told Karl, who stood behind him, "Go start the car." After saying this, he took off his coat, draped it over Julie's head, and with all eyes on him, carried her out.

Many staff members pulled out their phones to snap photos, leaving Grant stunned. It took him a while to snap out of it. By the time he reacted and managed to chase after them, Kieran had already put Julie into the car.

When Julie woke up again, she found herself lying in a hospital bed. Groggily, she opened her eyes and saw the IV drip hanging overhead. Her memory stopped at the moment she fainted and fell into Grant's arms after leaving the restroom.

However, when she opened her eyes, the first person she saw was Karl. Seeing Julie awake, Karl immediately stood up from the couch, "How are you feeling?”

Julie didn't have the strength to argue with Karl's question, she just asked, "What are you doing here?" She tried to sit up a bit.

Karl explained, "Julie, you've got gastroenteritis from food poisoning. Kieran brought you to the hospital."

"Where is he now..." Julie intended to ask about Kieran's whereabouts but stopped midway. She assumed he must have rushed her to the hospital out of urgency, there was no reason for him to stick around.

However, Karl told her, "Kieran stepped out for a bit, he should be back soon. He was the one who carried you here."

"What else?" In Julie's mind, Karl wasn't a man of many words. Yet he was emphasizing the word 'personally' so much, was he trying to hint at something? That she held some kind of significant place in Kieran's heart?

Karl felt that Julie had changed. He looked at Julie and said, "Before you woke up, Kieran was here with you. If you want to know how Kieran brought you to the hospital, you can check out the trending topics on twitter."

With that said, Karl turned around and walked out the door.

After Karl left, Julie pulled out her phone. She hadn't expected that what had just happened in the Simpo Co. lobby had already been captured in full by someone. Luckily, Kieran had covered her face with his coat, which had saved her from being exposed. Otherwise, it would be her that netizens were searching for, given that the situation with Kieran and Creative Nexus Media was currently trending.

Julie frustratingly ran her fingers through her hair. A nurse who just entered the room was startled by her behavior and forgot to even close the door. The nurse pushed her cart towards Julie.

Julie quickly fixed her hair and smiled at the nurse. After the nurse removed Julie's IV, she quickly turned around and left.

Outside the hospital room.

Ivan quickly passed by Julie's hospital room, followed by a group of bodyguards and nannies. Originally, he was intending to run away, but he suddenly stopped in his tracks, quickly looking back at the nanny, "Was that my mom in the room just now?”

"Don't start this again…" The nanny hadn't finished her sentence when Ivan darted towards Julie's room.

Ivan burst into Julie's room, yelling excitedly, "Mom, it's really you, it's me, Ivan!”

Julie had just finished getting her IV removed and was about to be discharged when a kid suddenly ran to her side, hugging her thigh. Julie glanced down at Ivan who was clinging to her and was initially startled, then overwhelmingly surprised. She hadn't expected to run into this kid under such circumstances.

The nannies and bodyguards outside were also taken aback by Ivan's behavior.

Julie squatted down, patting Ivan's head, patiently saying, "Ivan, I'm not your mom."

"Yes you are!" Ivan looked at Julie resolutely, seemingly refusing to change his address for her.

Julie couldn't help but laugh, "Well, if you say so."

Ivan smiled satisfactorily, revealing two adorable dimples, "Mom, are you sick?"

Seeing Ivan's concerned expression, Julie felt a soft spot in her heart. She ruffled Ivan's hair, smiling as she replied, "I'm fine."

Julie looked up at the nannies and bodyguards outside the room, then looked back down at Ivan, "Why are you at the hospital?"

At this, Ivan seemed unhappy. He glared at the nanny, "I'm so old now, and they still want to give me shots!"

Despite feeling bad, the nanny told the truth, "You're only five and a half, you're supposed to get shots."
