“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
Beryl turned around and looked at Silas. “Can you actually do that?”Silas looked at Conrad who was in the ICU. “As long as you wake him up.”“I want your shares,” Beryl brutally said. “I’m his mother. What right does he have to leave me no shares in the company at all?!”Silas frowned. He had five percent of the company’s shares. His boss gave it to him.“Fine! As long as you can wake him up. I’ll transfer it to you!”Beryl smiled coldly. “And Ford’s farm!”Silas frowned. If the farm belonged to him, he could give it to her without any hesitation.But that belonged to his brother, Ford. He couldn’t make the decision on his behalf.“I’ll need to call him and ask him first.”“No need for that. Give it to her!” Ford said as he walked over.“Good. I like it when you’re that decisive,” Beryl said coldly before looking at Conrad. “From tomorrow onward, I can have anyone here to see him. None of you can stop me!”Silas and Ford exchanged a glance and said, “But if you hurt him in
Half of the fourth floor was already in flames. When the man exited the staircase, reaching the fourth floor, someone pounced on him.He moved to the side, but the person reached out to him with her arm and locked it around his throat.“For the madam!” Sophia screamed.The man sighed. “You’re the only one among Conrad’s lackeys that actually put her first.”Sophia hurled a fist at the man’s head, but he simply raised his hand and held the arm that was locked around his throat and bent down, throwing her.Sophia hit a piece of burning wood. However, she didn’t care about the pain or the fire, and simply darted toward the man once again.“I’ll let you see her,” the man suddenly said.Sophia froze. “What… What?”The man whispered, “Remain loyal to me for eternity, and I’ll let you see her.”“The madam… isn’t dead?” Sophia’s tears rolled. When she saw that charred corpse they took out of the mortuary, she was filled with despair.“Are you willing to be loyal to me?” the man asked
On the day that Tiger filled an expensive urn with Sophia’s ash, he couldn’t hold his tears back.He carried the urn back home and then lay down in his bed motionless.Silas had been busy the whole day and only went home when it was around midnight.“Tiger, let’s bury Sophia!”Tiger looked at the ceiling light and let out a laugh as he held the urn.“Why is she so foolish? The boss simply asked her to protect the madam. He didn’t tell her to die for her.”Silas also felt upset when he thought about it. “She had never encountered anyone as pure as the madam when she was back at the camp.”Tiger closed her eyes. “I’ll avenge Madam and Sophia!”He gritted his teeth. “Even if I have to travel the world, I’ll find him and kill him!”Silas said nothing.Tiger sat up and carefully handed the urn to Silas.“I’ll leave Sophia in your capable hands.”Silas nervously asked, “What are you up to?”“Don’t worry about me. I won’t die before I catch him!” Tiger ran away despite his fatigu
Only at this point did Silas realize that without Tiger, he was like a man without an arm.Koi Gardens.No matter how good Conrad looked, with his pale skin and wearing a hospital gown, he looked like a mad man running around barefooted in the middle of winter.When he reached the apartment that once belonged to Fia’s mother, he knocked on the door, but no one opened it. He then kicked the door and it collapsed.He walked on the door, and began yelling, “Fia! Fia!“Fia! Don’t hide from me! I know that I’m wrong now! Come out! I won’t do anything that will hurt you again!“Fia? Fia!”He started yelling from the living room to the kitchen to the bathroom, and then at the washroom. But there was no sign of Fia anywhere.When he reached the bedroom, he looked at the blanket that was folded properly and let out a smile.“You’ll come back, right? Fia?”He lay down on the bed and sniffed at Fia’s scent, and he held the blanket tightly.Suddenly, he touched something hard inside the
