Never Judge

"Are you sure about this?" Miguel asked Adrianna as they spoke to the side.

She needed to tell Miguel about what Jonathan was about to say to his sister. She didn't want Miguel to enter that room unprepared. He would have gotten shocked to hear those words from Jonathan.

"I am." Adrianna said with a determined nod. "The last thing Jonathan wants is for his sister to learn about your son, he feels that Julia doesn't deserve to mee the boy."

Miguel shook his head in disbelief.

"That's just crazy, she's his biological mother. The boy deserves to know." Miguel said in a low voice as he tried to control his temper. "Plus Dominic is smart. Julia is Jonathan's sister, his mother is Jonathan's sister. It doesn't take a genius."

"I know, I know." Adrianna told Miguel. "But for now the introduction might have to wait and I don't disagree with Jonathan on that. Julia is dangerous and unstable. The less she knows about Dominic the better."

Miguel remained silent as he considered Adrianna's words, he knew she was right.

"I'll explain to him, he'll understand. I'll also have him fly back on my plane with Veronica and probably Guan Ming and his family." Miguel said with a nod.

"Good, let's take Jonathan to see his sister and hopefully be done with this." Adrianna told Miguel as she turned around and marched back towards Jonathan.

Jonathan had told Adrianna that he was ready a few minutes before Miguel had arrived.

Adrianna didn't want to speak to Julia without Miguel around. She knew that her friend was not in peak physical condition and that there was still a risk that she might relapse. Adrianna wanted to make sure that she had the best doctor with them.

"Let's go." Adrianna told Jonathan as she led their group towards Julia's room.

Luckily the hospital on Kashmere wasn't too big or else Miguel, upon the insistence of Cedric, would have asked Adrianna to take a wheelchair so that she wouldn't get too tired.

Before entering the room, they stopped at the door and Adrianna looked back at Jonathan.

He was clearly nervous as he looked down at his feet and shuffled a little.

"Don't worry, just be your charming self. I'm sure your sister missed you and she will listen." Adrianna said as she tried to encourage the younger man.

Jonathan wordlessly nodded.

Adrianna slowly pushed the door open to find Julia leaning back against the headboard of the bed, munching on some snacks in front of her.

"I knew you would appreciate those." Adrianna said with a smile as she stood by the door, not letting Julia see who was behind her.

"They are life savers, but don't think that all is settled and forgiven. I haven't agreed to what you want." Julia said as she gave Adrianna a kind smile.

"I didn't think it was." Adrianna said sadly. "But I did invite someone over."

"Who?" Julia asked as she sat up.

Adrianna couldn't help but worry if Julia thought she had brought Lucius Ting to speak to her. If Julia still wanted to be with the man then they were in danger.

"Julia." Came Jonathan's voice as he entered the room behind Adrianna.

Julia gasped at the sight of her brother. It may have only been months, but since Jonathan started living with Cedric and Adrianna, much had changed about him.

Gone was the awkward rich kid, he was now more confident and dressed even better.

Adrianna and the others may not have noticed it, but Cedric and his friends seemed to have a significant influence on the young man.

He also started to choose his friends much more carefully, in the end he spent more time with Dave and his group than his own.

"You're different." Julia said as she watched her brother make his way to her bedside and give her a hug.

"I don't feel different. Maybe it's the clothes." Jonathan said as he looked down at himself. "Cedric had my new clothes made by his tailor and they fit much better than store bought ones."

"Oh." Julia was at a loss for words, she never expected Adrianna and her husband to do so much for Jonathan.

"I missed you big sis." Jonathan admitted. "You just left and we had no idea where you went."

"I'm sorry about that, I was just so lost I needed to find myself and the next thing I know I'm waking up here. In a hospital." Julia looked down at her hands, she knew that she should have at least told her family where she was going, but she needed to get away from it all.

"I know that mom and dad were pressuring you to get into a more serious relationship with Ram, but you could have told me." Jonathan sounded pained as he told her that she should have said something.

"It was just so hard for me, Jonathan. He is everywhere." Julia admitted, telling her brother something that she hadn't told Adrianna.

"Of course he is, he's Ramon Abad, one of the five princes!" Jonathan told Julia as if she had been oblivious to such an important fact.

"I know that, of course I know that. It's just I needed to go somewhere, anywhere but here." Julia said as a tear fell from her eye.

"And you ran to him? The one man that had hurt you so bad that it broke you." Jonathan reminded her.

"He loved me, he loves me." Julia mumbled loud enough for Jonathan to hear.

"He was obsessed with you and if he gets his hands on you again he will never let you go! He is a bad person Julia! How can you love him?" Jonathan was practically shouting at his sister at this point.

"He is the father of my child!" Julia answered back.

"Lucius Ting will use your son as a weapon, a tool if he ever got his hands on him. Don't think for a second that he wouldn't do the same to you!" Jonathan reasoned out to her.

Julia was silent as she didn't know what to answer back.

"Julia, for once in your life think of what is for the best for everyone, stop being so fucking selfish. You will suffer and the entire nation will suffer and you still don't care!" With that Jonathan stomped out of the room, turning his back on his sister.

It was silent for a little while before Julia looked up and spoke with her voice trembling.

"Jonathan is right, what do you need me to do?" She asked Adrianna, much to her friend's surprise.
