A week and a few days later:
Julian was healing well, he wasn't flinching every time his shoulder moved now and he could apply a little pressure on it. Which was a step forward because his previous condition hadn't been as good.After failing at convincing him to stop working and rest well so he could continue later with renewed vigor, I snuck his laptop out and handed it to Edward. Who did exactly what I had expected of him and had locked it up with his study.Now Julian was forced to relax and sleep, healing properly with a bit of scolding from Donna. It was funny to see tiny Donna size up these two bulky men. And especially funny when she pulled their ears for being too stubborn.Easy to say, Julian hadn't touched a single paper since. I had never really imagined that I would have Julian use me as a shield against his mother and that too while running away from motherly affection.
