Chapter 1519
All his life, Simon had wanted the recognition of the Fulcher family. Yet, until his death, Julian never acknowledged
him as a brother.
Simon also never saw Betty acknowledge him as a blood- related uncle instead of just a close family friend.
Diana decided to tell Betty everything about Simon. She felt that Betty was old enough to understand many things.
She believed Betty had the right to form her own opinions and impressions about Simon.
After listening, Betty remained silent for a long while. Then, she looked at Diana and asked, "Mommy, do you think
Uncle Simon was a good person?"

away from Julian.
But now, Simon had sacrificed himself to protect them. For the first time, Betty felt the complexity of human
nature.
"Yes," Diana responded decisively. "I think he's a good person. He just...never received love when he was younger,
so he didn't know how to love."
But...
If Simon hadn't passed away this time, she believed that both she and Julian would have treated him like family.
However, everything was too late now.
Every mention of Simon made Diana more emotional. The grief she had previously suppressed to keep Julian from
noticing now surged up.
"Anyway, Uncle Simon was a very good person. Sweetie, always remember him."
Julian didn’t disagree with Diana's sentiment.
He kneeled to Betty, and said, "Sweetie, he's your uncle.
Your real uncle. When we return to Richburgh, well bring him home together."
Diana looked at Julian in shock. "You intend to let Simon be buried in the Fulcher family's ancestral tomb?"
Julian nodded. "Yes."
Since Simon was no longer alive, he could do nothing more than recognize him as part of the Fulcher family.
"If his spirit exists somewhere above, I'm sure he wouldn't oppose it," Julian reflected.

Thinking back to how they had gathered together for New Year's Eve dinner, Julian regretted not showing Simon
more warmth.
Diana knew that Julian might appear cold on the outside, but he was truly sentimental inside. She touched his hand
gently.
"Don't be sad. Simon will understand our intentions."
Diana's health indicators were all positive, and she would soon be discharged from the hospital. However, with her
growing belly, Julian had booked a VIP compartment on the high-speed train for their journey back to Richburgh.
This ensured comfort and quietness for her during the trip. To maintain this tranquility, he even booked the entire
train compartment.
