Silas had been sandwiched between Beryl and Conrad for the past five years. He had to work really hard in Maxwell Corporation to help Conrad maintain the Maxwells’ business empire. At the same time, he also needed to be wary of Beryl, fearing that she might stab them in the back.“I’ve been careful to make sure she didn’t have a chance of hurting Sir all these years. Yet, I didn’t think she’s this despicable!” Silas felt so saddened and furious that he rushed back to the living room.“Sir, you’ve been poisoned by your mother!”Hearing this, Conrad furrowed his brows before looking at Fia.“What do you mean?”Fia lazily sat on a chair, crossed her legs, and smirked at Conrad.“It means that someone has been drugging you in the past five years, ensuring that you do not recover your memories.”Conrad’s face turned grim upon hearing this. “No, it’s not possible! She’s my mother!”Due to losing his memories, Conrad had been very wary of people around him. He would never eat or dri
Silas was surprised to hear this, “You mean Doctor Sally? No no! She’s a really kind, goodhearted doctor! She would never hurt you!”“Have you forgotten how she injured me from her clumsy injection the last time she’s in my office?” Conrad said grimly.“…” Silas frowned in silence.To him, Sally was a really kind woman. Even though she had feelings for Jason, Sally had never hurt Fia out of jealousy.“I suppose Doctor Sally was just too nervous when treating you.”Conrad looked at him intently, “Silas, do you have feelings for that doctor?”“What? No!” Silas answered anxiously, “I do not have feelings for her!”It was true. Silas had no feelings for Sally. He was defending her because of her good relationship with Fia. There was no way he would fall for Doctor Sally! No way! He was not Kent! He would fall for someone who’d never love him back!“If you don’t have feelings for her, why did you defend her so much just now?” Conrad’s piercing words got sharper.“Sigh. Sir, what do
Silas continued, “Sir had experienced a severe reaction to the drug you administered to him. He was in so much pain that he passed out at home, almost falling into a coma…”Clenching her fists, Sally asked, “How… How is he?”Silas looked at her with a conflicted face and said, “Doctor Sally, why did you do it? I don’t believe you could do something like this at first. I thought you must have been tricked by your brother.”Sally shook her head and said, “No, my brother has nothing to do with this!”“Then where did you get that drug?” It was quite apparent that Silas did not believe that this had nothing to do with Peter.“I stole it from my brother. I went to his lab to pretend to help him with his experiments a few times.” To be honest, this was the first time Sally did something so morally questionable on her own will. So, she felt a heavy burden weighing on her heart. She asked, “So, how’s Conrad Maxwell?”“Doctor Sally… How could you do such a thing? You’re a doctor!” Sila
“Sia?” Sally asked confusedly.She then recalled that woman she saw in the hospital the other day—the one woman who had a daughter who had blood coagulation dysfunction. Due to curiosity, Sally went to the front desks to check her signed documents and learned that her name was “Sia Stewart”.“You know Ms. Sia?” Silas asked.“No, I don’t. But I met a young woman with her daughter at the hospital the other day. She reminded me of…”“Doctor Sally, perhaps you could explain the risk of using that drug to my boss?” Silas interjected Sally at the nick of time. He did not want her to mention Fia so as to not spark his boss’s interest. Right now, his boss’s poison is still lingering in his body. And they have no idea how he would react to recent events after recovering his memories.Looking at Conrad’s hopeful eyes, Sally decided to be frank about the drug. “I don't have it with me anymore.”“Can you synthesize a new batch?” Conrad asked.“I don’t know how to.” Sally then recalled wha
“Why did you get rid of Silas?” Sally was somewhat nervous, worried that Conrad would silence her.“Don’t worry. I simply have a few questions, because you’re a woman too,” Conrad said as he lowered down his gaze.“If I want to see someone for the whole day everyday, what does that mean?”Sally frowned. “Have you fallen for Miss Parker?”“Not her!” Disdain appeared on Conrad’s face as soon as Annie was mentioned.“Ms. Sia?” When Sally saw that woman at the hospital the other day, she couldn’t help but feel annoyed.That woman was too cold. Even if she did look similar to Fia, she was still a different person in the end.“When I was in pain, a stranger appeared in my mind. However, her figure seemed to overlap with Ms. Sia. I don’t know what that means.”Conrad massaged his face. “I’ve never felt something like this… For someone to be able to affect me emotionally like this.”“Now I’m curious about meeting Ms. Sia. She can affect you that much?” Sally was very curious.Conrad
“You have a pair of twins, don’t you?” she quickly asked.Fia remained silent.At this point, Irene had already reached the door. Sally looked at the two kids and noticed that the boy was about an inch taller than the girl.“Not twins?”Fia took a deep breath and immediately started a game app on her phone.Sally was speechless.“Mommy.” Irene pulled her mother’s sleeve and said, “She’s the one that called you at the hospital yesterday.”“Yes, she’s a doctor.” Fia nodded and then walked back into the apartment as she looked at her phone. She then said to Adrian, “Close the door.”“…Okay.” Adrian pushed the door to close it.Sally slid through the gap and into the apartment.Adrian and Irene couldn’t say a word.Sally was a very polite woman. And so, she removed her shoes and followed Fia with her socks still on.“Ms. Sia, can we talk?”Fia sat back on the sofa as if she was obsessed with the game and said, “Ever since I moved in here, there have been quite a few people app
But when she finally saw someone that looked like Fia and had two children just like her…She was so cruel and cold. She didn’t care about her feelings when she spoke.How was it possible for Fia to become like that?“You’re thinking too much. I’ve told you a lot of times… She’s dead.”Peter sighed inside of his heart. She chose to fake her own death. What was the difference between that and being actually dead?What was the difference between being dead and chaining herself to his master, becoming a puppet?He wished that his sister would forget all of this, and not lose herself to it.“Pete, you cannot lie to me!” Sally’s voice was coarse. She was really sad.How could she meet someone that looked so much like Fia, but with such a different temperament?“Fia, I hope that your life can be peaceful and happy after this. Please, don’t waste yourself away for someone that’s no longer important, alright?”Sally looked at the cars passing her by. Despite the bustling city she was
“There’s no difference, Eileen.” Sally held the popular celebrity’s hand as she cooked up the courage. “You’re Fia’s only best friend. Fia wants you to be happy, and not drown yourself in all this scheming.”Eileen frowned. “I know better than anyone how kind she is. It’s because she’s too compassionate… I want to do something for her that she should have done years ago.”Suddenly, there was a honk not far away.A gray car drove by, and Sally pulled Eileen away.Tyler walked out of the car and grumbled. “If you want to chat, can’t you find somewhere else to do so? Are you trying to set me up by standing in the middle of the basement car park?”“Tyler?” Eileen said with a bad taste in her mouth.Tyler narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman who was completely covered from head to toe, and then looked at Sally next to her.“You’re…”He realized who they were, and instinctively walked toward the elevator.“Stop!” Eileen chased after him.Sally helplessly followed after them.
