The Headline Queen: President Hawthorne is Her Die-Hard Fan!-Chapter 432: Nothing Can Be Done

Once she was back in bed, Paige felt that her abs weren’t as defined anymore.

If she stayed in the hospital any longer, she might gain a few pounds.

"Dad, just let me go home. At least I can walk around there."

Jared, seeing how much his daughter wanted to be discharged, said, "Alright, I’ll ask the doctor tomorrow. If the doctor says you can be discharged, I’ll take you home to the Sterling Family. I’ll take care of you."

Paige didn’t object, but she felt she should try to ease the relationship between her father and Julian Hawthorne.

"Dad, erm, is Julian still outside?"

Jared’s face immediately turned stern, "Why do you care about him?"

Paige, "..."

Jared, bursting with anger, "It’s all his fault. If it weren’t for him, you wouldn’t have suffered like this!"

Paige agreed, "Yes, yes, it’s all his fault."

Outside the window, Julian’s heart ached. Even though he knew Paige said that just to placate Jared, he still felt terrible.

Because he also believed it was all his fault.

Jared continued to express his dissatisfaction with Julian, "He promised not to let you be aggrieved, and look what happened? You’re in the hospital now! He even sheltered that crazy woman and sent her abroad. Does he think I can’t do anything to her now? Dare to hurt my daughter, I’ll find her even if she hides to the ends of the earth!"

"Dad, it’s not his fault, he can’t control..."

"You’re still defending him?" Jared suddenly had a strange look in his eyes, "Beau, have you got Stockholm Syndrome?"

Paige, "..."

She glanced at the window, meeting Julian’s eyes through the glass, and sighed, "Dad, it’s late, you should go home and rest. I want to sleep too."

"Alright, alright, I’ll go now. You have a good rest, don’t overthink."

With that, Jared tucked Paige in and left the room.

Once Jared left, Paige sat up in bed and looked outside the window.

But Julian didn’t move for a long time.

So she just stared at him.

After a while, Julian stood up and climbed through the window.

"Beau," his voice was a little hoarse. He stood by the window, not daring to come closer.

His pitiful appearance made Paige’s heart ache immensely.

She called to Julian, "Come here."

Julian didn’t move, so Paige raised her voice, "Come here."

Only then did Julian walk over, his steps very slow, as if he was extremely cautious with every step.

He finally stopped at the bedside, and Paige, seeing his demeanor, knew this man was really taking all the blame onto himself.

"Julian, this was an accident, I don’t blame you. You shouldn’t be like this."

Elective abortion and forced abortion are inherently different.

Paige did hold some resentment towards Mrs. Hawthorne, but even without her, the outcome would have been the same, so she really had no one to blame.

More importantly, this incident really had little to do with Julian. If we must nitpick, and blame Julian’s sperm, she too enjoyed the time when they were XXOO.

So Paige truly didn’t mean to blame Julian. She had already accepted this result and naturally didn’t want him to continue in despair.

"Julian, did you hear me?"

Seeing him standing there speechless, just looking at her, Paige impatiently pulled him closer.

"Julian, if you keep this up, I’ll get angry!"

Seeing her glaring at him, full of life and energy, Julian’s eyes suddenly turned red.

Paige couldn’t keep up the pretense of being angry, she stretched out her arms and hugged him.

"Julian, why aren’t you saying anything?"

Julian slowly extended his arms to embrace her, even though it was Paige who had suffered, yet she had to comfort him.

He felt utterly useless, not only did Jared blame him, but he also blamed himself.

He buried his face in Paige’s neck and softly said, "Beau, let’s not have kids in the future."

They hadn’t even had kids yet, and he saw Paige suffer so much pain, he could barely stand it. If Paige really had kids in the future...

He couldn’t even imagine the scene.

The more he once anticipated having children, the more he now dreaded their arrival.

All in all, he cared most about Paige, liking children was based on Paige, but if children brought her pain, he’d rather not have them.

Paige didn’t argue with him, she nodded, "Alright, we’ll do as you say."

Paige patted his head. Although he stayed at the hospital every day, he still tidied himself up daily, fearing he’d frighten Paige if he looked too disheveled, so his hair was clean, though a bit long.

Paige said, "Don’t stay at the hospital every day, my dad won’t let you see me anyway, go to the company."

After saying this, seeing Julian’s aggrieved expression, she quickly added, "It’s not that I don’t want to see you on purpose, my dad has a big problem with you. If I see you, he’ll like you even less."

Julian grasped her hand, "I know, but I’m scared if I don’t see you."

Paige felt her heart soften, "What are you afraid of? I’m not going to fly away."

Julian said nothing, just held her tightly.

Paige fell asleep in his arms, and he couldn’t bear to leave, so he lay down holding her.

Julian didn’t sleep the entire night, keeping a watchful eye on Paige, as if afraid she would fly away if he looked away for a moment.

By the next morning, Julian left through the window before Jared arrived.

Jared mentioned arranging discharge procedures for Paige, but Paige said, "Dad, maybe I should stay at the hospital for a few more days?"

She thought, if she went back to the Sterling Family house, forget about climbing through windows, Julian wouldn’t even be able to get close to the gates.

Jared looked at Paige, "What’s the matter?"

Paige said, "I think you’re right, it’s more reassuring to be under the doctors’ supervision at the hospital. I still feel a bit uncomfortable, I should stay a few more days."

Jared glanced at her with suspicion, then chuckled, "Beau, don’t worry, there will be doctors at home too." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Paige, "..."

In the end, Jared took decisive action and directly discharged Paige.

Jared not only strengthened the security personnel in the villa area, but he also installed all the electronic security systems Paige had designed.

Forget about Julian, not even a mosquito could fly into the Sterling Family house now.

Jared just wanted his daughter to have a good rest for a while, preferably without any disturbances.

Julian tried various methods, but he couldn’t get into the Sterling Family house.

Paige probably never imagined that one day, the security systems she designed would become an obstacle for her and Julian to meet.

She had nothing much to do every day, so she just stayed home reading, watering flowers, thinking that anyway, Jared couldn’t keep her locked up forever. He would definitely let her go out eventually, she wasn’t worried.

And now, Julian probably wouldn’t overthink either, a little separation wasn’t a big deal.

At this moment, at the Hawthorne Group.

Simon rushed into Julian’s office, looking very grim.

"Brother, Mom is in trouble!"

Julian’s expression remained indifferent, without even lifting an eyebrow.

Simon hurriedly said, "Brother, I know Mom has done a lot of wrong things, but she’s still our mother. Now that she’s in trouble, you can’t ignore it."

Yet with his abilities alone, there was nothing he could do.
