Chapter 236 Romeo And Juliet
“Liliana, he’s—”
Before Natalie could finish her sentence, Liliana interrupted her, “Dr. Nichols, do you want to say that Josiah is dead?”
A hint of paranoia flickered across her eyes when she continued, “He’s not dead. Now, he’s just badly injured and fell asleep. Once you heal his wounds, he’ll wake up.”
Hearing that, Natalie gasped.
No one can come back from the dead. It’s just impossible!
Liliana wrapped the scarf tightly around her body. As she thought of her past memories, there was a painful expression on her face. “My parents died because of Julian. Then, he took a fancy of me and asked me to be his woman. In order to protect me, my younger brother was killed by a so-called accident orchestrated by that bastard.”
Natalie could not tell what to feel.
Perhaps, those things were not the worst among the evil deeds Julian had done, but when a victim like Liliana gave an account of what she had experienced in person, it still made Natalie feel suffocated.
“That was when Josiah appeared in front of me. He said he could take me away and save me. But how could I leave? I want to avenge my family! Hence, I seduced Julian and made him fall for me. In the end, I became his legally married wife. In order to protect me, Josiah lurked around Julian. When Julian’s confidant found out what I had done and wanted to assassinate me, Josiah rushed out to protect me. He was seriously injured, and his body was covered in blood. Every doctor told me that he was beyond saving.”
Liliana’s eyes reddened as she spoke.
Clenching her fists tightly, she added, “Who says he can’t be cured? Those doctors are useless! They don’t know how to save my beloved Josiah. Dr. Nichols, you’re a miracle doctor. If you can cure those incurable diseases, you can definitely save Josiah too! Please help me! As long as you can save him, I’ll give you everything. I can give you everything that Julian has. I don’t need anything. I only want Josiah to be alive!”
Tears streamed down her face as she was overwhelmed by emotions.
Listening to her, Natalie felt sad and was on the verge of tears as well.
Nevertheless, sympathy could not change the fate of a person.
If the man lying in the transparent coffin was at his last gasp, she was willing to do whatever she could to help them.
However, he was already dead. She could never resurrect a person who had been dead for a few months.
“Liliana, I’m sorry, but I can’t do it,” enunciated Natalie while looking into Liliana’s eyes.
“No!” Unwilling to accept the fact, Liliana shook her head violently. “You can do it. You just don’t want to try, right? If you’re willing to try, Josiah will definitely come back to life!”
Her tearful eyes made people feel sympathetic toward her, but the paranoia in her eyes made people shudder.
For some reason, Natalie shivered when she met Liliana’s eyes.
“Dr. Nichols, I’ll show you something. I believe you’ll agree to help after this.” Wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Liliana picked up a tablet from the coffee table and fiddled with it for a moment before handing it to Natalie.
The next moment, Natalie saw a woman lying on a haystack with her hands and feet tied on the tablet screen.
At a glance, she recognized the woman as Cecilia Fane, her best friend in the past five years.
“Cecilia? She’s in your hands?” questioned Natalie.
“She’s your best friend, right?” Liliana narrowed her eyes, and a hint of viciousness flashed across her crystal clear eyes. “As long as you save Josiah, she’ll be fine.”
