Sally’s tears rolled down her face as she heard Fia’s vengeful words through the phone. “Fia? Fia!!”Sally ran down the stairs as she spoke to the phone frantically.“Fia, where are you? Fia!”Sally’s heart sank as she heard Fia’s eerie, heartbreaking laughter from the phone.“Please answer me, Fia! Where are you? I’ll come get you home.”Peter, who just got home, saw Sally tearfully rushing out the door and immediately stopped her.“Where are you going?”Sally widened her eyes before covering her phone with her hand. She dared not to tell her brother, fearing that he would hurt Fia again.Peter frowned and asked, “I asked you a question, Sally!”Sally shook her head and said, “I’m just talking to Jason on the phone. We are fighting over something.”Peter looked at his sister in suspicion. “Fighting over something? With Jason Evans? Then why are you crying like this?”Sally glared at him with her tearful eyes. “Don’t you know? I love him! Yet, he doesn’t love me. He doesn’
Sally, too, rushed to Fia, kneeling next to her.“Fia… are you alright…? Fia…”She dug her hand out of the snow, and kept on blowing on them and rubbing them with her hands, trying to warm her up.Jason opened the med kit and began measuring her body temperature and blood pressure, trying to make sure that she was alright. As he was helping her, his eyes welled up with tears, feeling so heartbroken seeing her like this.A few moments later, Fia gradually regained consciousness. She opened her eyes and gave them a faint smile. Her smile was bleak and bitter. It was as though the girl had lost the naivety in her soul. “… Mom… I’ve had enough… I don’t think I can go on like this anymore… I’m so tired… of everything…”Jason put down the med kit and carried Fia in his arms.“Sally, we have to bring her to the hospital right away! You drive!”“Oh… Okay!” Sally quickly got to her feet and ran, almost stumbling and falling on the way to the car. She opened the door as Jason carried
Tiger frowned. “But Sir just woke up. And he’s got a fever too. Perhaps we should go and check up on Madam first.”Silas nodded. “Indeed. Sir can’t do anything to help her at the moment either.”“Yeah, let’s tell him after they both get better.”“Okay. After they get better.”……“She’s breathing!” Jason could feel Fia begin to breathe weakly again along the way to the elevator.After calling the hospital's director, Sally looked at her brother, pleasantly surprised upon hearing what Jason said.“Thank you, Peter.”“It’s too early to be glad. She’s not out of the woods yet,” Peter said with a heavy heart.He had known his master for a long time. So, he knew just what kind of game he was playing. Sally valued Fia so heavily as her friend. This whole ordeal would definitely break her heart.Not knowing what was going on in her brother’s mind, Sally gave him a tearful smile.“Pete, Fia will be fine.”“Perhaps.”As the door of the elevator opened, they quickly brought Fia in an
“What on Earth is going on?!” Sally’s hands began trembling anxiously as she stared at the equipment that was indicating a rapid rise in Fia’s blood pressure.Jason said to Sally while continuing on with the procedure, “Calm down, Sally! I’ll handle the blood pressure!”“Okay!” Sally answered as she resumed performing CPR on Fia. Still, she was so shaken that her tears began rolling down again. “Fia’s heart is beating very quickly!”Jason yelled impatiently as he heard the warning beeps in the background, “Get her the oxygen mask!”The hospital’s director immediately complied and helped Fia wear an oxygen mask. He was worried sick. Even though Conrad had married another woman, the twins in Fia’s womb were still his children. He sincerely wished that Fia would not die because of the children.Silas and Tiger waited impatiently outside of the emergency room while Peter fiddled with his phone.An hour later, Silas and Tiger could not wait any longer. So, they approached the room,
“Mr. Maxwell, please return to your ward,” the hospital director said.Conrad shoved him before marching straight into the emergency room. As soon as he stepped inside, he saw bloodied bandages everywhere. Silas and Tiger did not dare to stop him so all they could do was follow him inside. They, too, wanted to know what had happened to Madam. Sally collapsed onto the floor, weeping like a baby. Jason sat on the floor as well, looking completely defeated.As for Fia… she was just lying there… lifelessly…When he saw Fia, Conrad slowed his steps down and asked, “What are you crying about, Sally?”Sally raised her head and glared at him with her red, teary eyes. Then, she stood up and pushed him with every ounce of energy she had in her body!“It’s you! It’s all your fault!”Silas quickly took Conrad’s arm and helped his still weakened boss to stand still. “Doctor Sally, our boss didn’t mean to hurt Madam. It happened because…”“So, you still intend to lie to us?!” Sally shriek
Conrad’s tears fell on Fia’s face.His hand trembled as he held her icy hand. He didn’t dare to grip it.“Fia… I owe you a lot of ‘firsts’ and I plan to use my remaining life to compensate you… Can you get up?”He looked at how she remained motionless. Her body was icy, and he still couldn’t sense her pulse. Her heart remained still.He was helpless as he kneeled on the ground, holding her hand with both of his hands.“I told you I won’t divorce you, and I keep my word. The entire wedding with Esme was just a ploy. You have had enough of her, haven't you? Now that her identity has been exposed at the wedding, we can capture her. She’ll get her punishment.”Finn looked at how the usual prideful Conrad could only cry helplessly. He couldn’t help but say, “That’s right, Fia. Now that Esme’s identity has been exposed, we have enough evidence. This time, she’ll get the death penalty. Your future will be bright.”All of them wanted Fia, who was in a deep slumber, to gain consciousness
Britney sighed. She bent down and picked the document up before handing it to Conrad again.“She said that she had been lonely most of her life. But she had the most pain in the years that she had been married to you.”Conrad remained silent as he refused to believe it.Britney continued, “Conrad, there’s no need to make it difficult for the dead. Do as she wishes!”Conrad looked at Fia, who was sleeping there without any color on her cheeks. It was agonizing.He didn’t want them to stop being husband and wife! Even in death!“Conrad, why must you do this?” Britney let out a soft smile. “Where were you when she was thrown into the slums and two men forced themselves on her thanks to Esme scheming?”Conrad’s eyes opened wide as he remembered how she stumbled around by the river. He felt his heart being torn apart.He didn’t know that she experienced something like that.No wonder… No wonder she was so full of hatred… So full of determination…Britney smiled, but her smile was
“He deserves it!”Fia said.Her change filled the man with glee. He bent down and held her face.“Do you realize that you don’t care that much about him anymore?”Fia’s eyes met with the man’s mask and said, “Why should I care about a b*stard that only lies and hurts me?”“Very good!” The man let go of her face and happily paced back and forth in the room.“I lost both Esme and Britney for you this time. From now on, you’re the only woman that will be by my side! I’ll teach you so you’ll become the best!”Fia held her hand from touching her belly and slowly sat up.She looked at the man that was half mad and said, “Then can you let me see your face?”The man stopped and turned to look at Fia deeply.“No!”Fia sneered. “You’re not honest at all.”“No, I’m more honest than anyone. Once you know how I’ll teach you, you’ll know how good I am toward you!” the man said.Fia asked, “Is that right?”The man took out a key and put it in Fia’s hand. “I have a place that will help y
