Twin Cupids at Work Daddy Come Home novel Chapter 439

Christian down the stairs, moving slowly. “It’s the middle of the night. Where are you going?”

Julian turned back, his voice steady and bland. “Couldn’t sleep. Thought I’d go for a walk.”

“Couldn’t sleep, so you’re going for a walk?” Christian echoed Julian with a heavy sigh. “Taking a walk, or are you off to see Madeline?”

Christian’s expression was ice cold. Both kids were with the Graysons. If Madeline was alive, she’d show up again sooner or later. The way Julian and the boys were acting made it obvious—she was back.

Worry crept into Christian’s eyes.

Julian pressed his lips together, then suddenly said in a light, almost careless tone, “I’m dying.”

“What?” Christian frowned hard.

“Sleep disorder. Brady says if I don’t get help, I’ll die.”

Julian spoke so calmly, like he was talking about the weather. That calm unsettled Christian more than anything else.

He stepped closer, studying Julian’s face. He did look worn out. Up close, his eyes were shadowed and sunken, exhaustion written all over him.

A single thought shot through Christian’s mind, one that made his heart lurch.

Terminal. It was that bad.

His heart hammered in his chest. “Someone get the doctor. Hurry.”

Julian just shook his head, voice slow and unhurried. “No point. If there was, I wouldn’t be like this.”

His voice was too calm, his eyes almost empty. Christian couldn’t tell if he was serious or making it all up.

He knew about Julian’s sleep problems, but he never thought it was this bad—that it could kill him. But with how pale Julian looked, Christian couldn’t help but believe it.

Off to the side, Oliver’s eyes shimmered and he started to quietly wipe away tears. Noah looked at his brother, caught on quick, and dropped his head in sadness.

Seeing the boys like that, Christian’s doubts disappeared.

Julian led the two boys out of the house and almost laughed at how ridiculous it all was.
