Chapter 51 Supernatural Powers
Shiloh was baffled. All he knew was that his brother had insomnia, but sleepwalking? That was like a curveball he wasn’t expecting. And now, out of the blue, Julia was quizzing him about it. “Well, here’s what happened last night, Shiloh. I was asleep when your brother sneaks into my room like a ninja, plops himself on my bed, and sleeps there like a pig. If you don’t think that’s sleepwalking, then what is?”
Shiloh was taken aback, his mouth slightly agape.
Jared mentioned he was in Julia’s room because he couldn’t sleep, but he didn’t understand what his brother meant at that time. But now, combining that with Julia’s words, it suddenly clicked. ‘So, Jared went to Julia’s room because he couldn’t sleep, and somehow just being there helped him. But how was that possible? How can my brother, who struggled with serious sleep disorders, only manage to doze off in Julia’s bed?‘
Could it be-
Shiloh’s eyes
widened as he looked at Julia with a hint of hostility.
“What’s wrong?” Julia innocently asked.
“What’s wrong? You tell me what’s wrong! Did you use your medical know–how to hypnotize my brother? Is that why he, someone with severe insomnia, manages to fall asleep as soon as he enters your room and gets close to you?” Shiloh snapped, taking Julia aback.
“Your brother has insomnia?” she clarified, thinking of the man who held her last night before sleeping so deeply that it was almost like he was under a spell.
‘How was that insomnia?!‘
“Don’t change the subject, Julia,” Shiloh warned, dead serious. “My brother had terrible sleep problems for years. He went to all sorts of doctors, but none were capable enough. Medications didn’t help much, and since they didn’t, he even tried a psychiatrist and hypnotism, but that didn’t work either. Oddly enough, he only managed to sleep in your room. Coincidence? Nah, I don’t think so.”
Suddenly, Julia burst out laughing.
“Laughing ‘cause you’re feeling a bit guilty, huh?”
“Oh, please stop. I can’t take this anymore,” Julia said, teary–eyed.
“So, you’re saying your brother’s insomnia was beyond medication and hypnosis, but somehow what I did helped? God! That’s not your typical medical skills anymore, Shiloh, but some supernatural stuff. I don’t have that!”
“Shut it, Julia! Just answer me. Did you put a spell on my brother to make him sleep?”
Julia couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Shiloh. “If I had some magical powers, do you honestly think I’d let my fiancé slip through my fingers? Of course not!”
Hearing Julia’s words, Shiloh found himself speechless.
He knew Julia’s story well. She and Carter had been inseparable since childhood, their connection strong even before Vivien entered the picture. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have gladly considered getting married.
Shiloh also knew that when Julia and Carter were just eight years old, Carter fell into an icy river during winter, where Julia bravely jumped in to save him.

Julia even selflessly donated blood to Vivien multiple times for Carter’s sake. Even though she was aware of their budding relationship, she never hesitated to help with blood transfusions whenever Carter asked.
In other words, Julia genuinely loved Carter. So if she truly had the power to bend men’s will, how could she let things be like this?
Thinking this through, Shiloh’s sympathy for Julia grew, mingling with a touch of frustration.
‘How can she be so naive?!‘
“By the way, you’re aware of Carter and that woman’s upcoming wedding, right?” Shiloh’s tone shifted, his focus trained on Julia’s reaction.
“Mhm,” Julia indifferently replied.
“Aren’t you planning to do something about it?”
“Well, I’ll stop the wedding and run away with him.”
