Chapter 1708 Eva’s Visit
Julian pursed his thin lips. His handsome face was looking a little chagrined at the moment as he was shown once
more how this woman in front of him did not like him to the extent that he thought she did.
It was then the doors to Julian’s ward were pushed open. What came next was Louie entering in hurried steps.
Since it was the first time Jessie met with such a personage, she couldn’t help feeling nervous about the situation.
Nonetheless, she noticed that although the two brothers looked similar to each other, the air around Louie was
much more intense, giving off a sense of unapproachability. “Hello, President Gilmore.” She greeted him.
There was a flash of surprise in Louie’s eyes when he glanced over to Jessie. Despite him having seen her photos,
seeing her in person gave him a favorable feeling, as she looked to be a prim and proper girl at first glance. “Were
you the one insisting on admitting Julian to the hospital?” he asked with a look of gratitude in his eyes.
This is what anyone would do, Jessie thought as she nodded. “Then, I’ll leave you two to it.” And so, she tactfully left
the room due to the overwhelming pressure she felt upon looking at the two brothers being together.

clear he already knew the reason Julian suddenly came down with a fever.
Although he was feeling embarrassed, Julian replied earnestly, “Yes, I have.”
Louie nodded. “At your age, you should already settle down with a family. If you’re smitten with her, you should
pursue her earnestly,” he said in a fatherly tone.
“How about you? Has Eva accepted you yet?” Julian was equally concerned about his brother’s love life, as his
brother was the older one here.
“She will, eventually,” Louie replied confidently.
“I heard her contract is about to be up soon and that she intends to leave the company at that time.” Julian was
worried for his brother.
“I’ll find a way to retain her.” Louie was reluctant in letting Eva go. Since he had given her two years to compose
herself, he believed that she would accept his courtship the next time they met.
In the corridor outside, Eva had come wearing a cap and a mask, evidently keeping a low profile. After she finished
filming, she heard that Julian fell ill and was admitted to the hospital. As his friend, it was only natural for her to visit
him.
“Miss Duncan.” Jessie came over and held onto her.
“Jessie, how’s Julian doing?”
“His fever has gone down considerably. He’s currently on an IV drip.”
Bethany opened the door and said to Julian, “Young Master Julian, Miss Duncan is here to visit you.”
Upon hearing Bethany’s announcement, the man sitting in the chair was clearly much happier about it than the
man lying on the bed. “Let her in,” Louie replied.
“Tell Jessie to come in as well,” Julian added.
Bethany immediately smiled at Julian’s instruction. “I understand.” Then, she turned to the two lovely ladies who
were linking arms with one another and thought that the two of them were going to be part of the family soon.
“Miss Silverstein, Miss Duncan, President Gilmore asks for your presence.”
With their arms still linked, Jessie pulled Eva into the room. After they entered the room, Eva only looked at Julian

“Yeah, I’m feeling much better.”
“I’m glad that you’re feeling better. Then, I’ll take my leave here.” After saying that, she made her way out the
door.
“I’ll see you out,” Louie said in a deep voice.
“There’s no need for you to do that.” Having said that, Eva left the room.
Behind her, Julian immediately threw a look at his brother, asking him to hurry up and go after Eva. Naturally, Louie
wouldn’t allow such an opportunity to pass him by, so he left the room as well.
Since Eva left in a hurry to avoid Louie, she couldn’t recall where she had kept her mask. Hence, she was
recognized the moment she was about to enter the elevator. Just as the elevator doors were about to close after
she entered the elevator, a large hand prevented them from closing. In the next moment, Louie entered as well. It
was then Eva felt as though she was trapped like a rat in the situation. Since there were many others in the
elevator, she had no other option but to stand close to the man.
“Goodness! It’s Eva Duncan!”
“It really is her. She’s so pretty!”
Eva raised her head and gave the female fans a polite and grateful smile, to which they immediately clenched their
fists in excitement and boldly asked, “Miss Duncan, is he your boyfriend?”
