After all , if her son wasn't actually impaired , then he would know he was about to be sent to prison . In that case , he would definitely try to find a way to escape this hellhole . He was a normal person - he knew prison was no place for anyone to be . If Carol hadn't realized her son had recovered , she might've steeled herself and sent him in without hesitation . But now , knowing he was still sane , there was no way a mother could accept that . Her perfectly fine child - was he supposed to be locked away just like that ? How could she possibly accept it ?

No one knows a child better than their mother . Sure enough , Julian made his move the following night . That night , Carol had come downstairs to get a glass of water and saw Julian sneaking out . She froze on the spot , unsure what to say . The moment Julian saw her , his first instinct was to kill . After all , it was this very pair of parents who planned to hand him over to the authorities . If the truth - that he wasn't mentally ill - got out now , he'd be the only one to die , especially with his father in this state , seeing nothing but money .

There was no room left for a son like him . Julian understood clearly now - he had nothing left . His fiancée betrayed him . His parents abandoned him . But then he remembered . Lily was still waiting for him . He'd told her last time he'd be back in a few days . Now it had been far longer than expected . He didn't know how Lily was doing . For some reason , he couldn't shake the bad feeling in his gut . The thought made him even more anxious . 1/2 Chapter 1044 +15 BONUS His unkempt hair had grown long enough to cover his eyes .

His phoenix eyes , hidden beneath messy strands of hair , stared darkly at Carol . His right hand slowly curled into a fist . Julian was already prepared to be caught . Showing up here in the middle of the night was proof enough that he wasn't actually impaired . So , if Carol tried to report him , he was ready to act first and take control of her . But in the next second , Carol calmly turned away , as if she hadn't seen him at all . She even took a few sips of water in a composed manner .

As she walked upstairs , she deliberately lightened her steps and muttered under her breath , " The east- side camera's been acting up lately . I'll need to get someone to fix it tomorrow . " Hearing that , Julian's heart gave a jolt - he instantly understood . His mother was letting him go . So , she was giving her silent permission ? Julian thought she was in on it with Albert . But now it seemed ... had he misjudged her ? Still , the next second , Julian shook that thought away . After all , she had agreed to turn him in . Even if she was letting him go now , so what ?

" His voice , once deep and steady , had become hoarse from disuse . The confidence and pride he once carried were gone . Carol's eyes welled with tears , but she didn't turn around . She quietly made her way upstairs without saying another word to him . She didn't leave him with any final instructions .
