Unexpected Encounter: A Second Chance at Love-Chapter 213 Juliana Bella Green

When Owen found out the real name and address of the woman who had robbed him, he had been following her since then.

At first he had plans of assigning men to do so but later he decided against it and voluntarily started keeping a close eye on her.

For some odd reason, the curiosity to know everything about the woman that had robbed him kept getting stronger and stronger until he could no longer ignore it.

Within ten days, Owen found out many things about her. Some using his sources and others while stalking her.

Her full name was Juliana Bella Green, she was twenty-seven years old. She had lost both her parents three years ago. Her mother passed away of cancer and her father was found dead in their house a month later.

She had an elder brother who had moved abroad seven years ago and hadn't been in contact with anyone since then. She also had a younger brother who was still a teenager.

In order to support her youngest brother, Juliana had taken up multiple jobs throughout the day.

In the morning, she worked at a departmental store. In the evening, she worked at a local restaurant as a waitress and at night, she worked at a bar.

"Please let me go—" Juliana requested as she tried to free herself from his tight grasp.

"H-He won't let me strip—" she added.

When Owen frowned, she further explained, "Jack loves to mess with me, he would never let me strip in front of strangers."

"Asking a woman to strip herself shows how much he respects you," he scoffed. He had no idea if he was mad at the man who had asked her to strip or her for defending him.

When he tightened his grip around her, Juliana hissed in pain. "Owen, you are hurting me—"

When he let go of her arms, she was about to rush inside when a man stepped out holding a stack of cash.

"Hey Juli, boss sent this for you." He tossed it to her before walking back.

"Wait—" Owen stopped him. Without saying anything, he snatched the cash from her hand and tossed it towards the man. "She won't be needing this."

Before Juliana could react or say anything, Owen grabbed her hand and dragged her away.

...

"What the hell are you doing?" She tried to break away from his strong hold. "Let me go."

Without saying anything, he opened his car door and tossed her inside.

As soon as Owen entered the car, Juliana tried to attack him with a pocket knife but he grabbed her hand before it could even touch him.

"You should keep these tools for Jack and use it if he makes you strip in public next time," he smirked before snatching it from her hand and tossing it at the back seat.

"What do you want from me?" She didn't understand why he was here, especially after what she had done.

"Why do you think I am here?" He questioned her back.

Contemplating for a while, she said, "I will return the money back as soon as possible."

When he chuckled, she quickly added, "I will, I promise."

"Which hospital?" When she widened her eyes in shock, he repeated his question, "Which hospital?"

"City hospital."

[Collins Mansion]

[Rachael and Andrew's room]

"Zip it for me."

Without saying anything, Andrew zipped her dress up before walking towards his wardrobe.

Rachael looked at him and frowned a little. She then ran towards him and touched his forehead.

"What are you doing?" He chuckled.

"I am checking if you have any fever or something." She frowned. "No fever…..did you hit your head somewhere?"

"No—"

"Then what is wrong?" She questioned him. "This is the first time you zipped my dress without doing or trying to do anything."

"Silly—" He lightly flicked her forehead before resuming what he was doing.

"No seriously—" She grabbed his arm. "What is wrong with you these days?"

"Nothing is wrong honey," he assured her.

"Andrew come on—" she sighed. "You have been behaving so weirdly weird these days. It's really very weird."

"It's seriously nothing." Andrew wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her forehead. "Isn't Emma waiting for you? You should hurry."

"See, this is what I am talking about." She pouted her lips and poked his chest with her finger.

"Anyway—" she sighed. "Emma is really waiting for me, I should hurry before she starts getting all cranky."

"While I am gone, can you do some packing?" Without waiting for his reply, she added, "Also can you make sure that Ben is also joining us tomorrow? I have a feeling he has plans of staying back."

"I will call him."

"It's been days since I heard from Owen, is he okay?" Rachael frowned.

"He should be okay," Andrew shrugged.

[City Hospital, Room no: 28]

Juliana looked at Owen who was standing right beside her. "Thanks for that."

Without waiting for his reply, she added, "I will return back your money as soon as possible. The one that I stole from you and today's hospital bill."

When Owen did not say anything, she gulped in nervousness. She had zero idea if he was mad or immersed in a deep thought. It was really hard to tell.

"Ms. Green, please fill out these forms and get these medications from the pharmacy." The nurse gave the receipts to her.

When the nurse left, Owen grabbed the prescription from her hand. "Stay with your brother, I'll get it."

Left with no other choice, she could only nod in agreement.

"Don't worry, I won't make you strip in return," he remarked before walking away.

Juliana pursed her lips as she watched him walk out of the room. 𝘧𝑟𝘦𝒆w𝚎𝙗nov𝘦𝗹.𝐜o𝓶

Though it felt weird but having someone by her side while she had to take care of her chronically ill younger brother, made her shoulders feel a little lighter than usual.

She knew it wasn't permanent and she shouldn't get used to it but it still felt very nice.
