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.
Just as the two were still chatting, the door opened.It was Fia holding a bag of trash. She looked at Eileen and then Sally, who had made a return, fully cautious.Her numb expression became even colder. She looked away, and simply threw the trash into the trash can. She didn’t want to throw it downstairs anymore.“Wait!” When Eileen saw her wanting to go back, she quickly caught her hand.“Let go,” Fia said in a wintry tone.Eileen felt upset. Although she felt like she was Fia, she was so cold at the same time.She had no choice but to let go and whispered, “I… I just want to visit your children.”Fia’s back was facing her. She didn’t know what to say.“I’ve checked. Your children are twins. Your daughter is shorter than your son because she didn’t get enough nutrients,” Eileen said before pausing. She then continued to explain, “I don’t have any ill will. It’s just that my best friend also had a pair of twins just like you when she was alive. If nothing happened to her, her
After Sally helped Eileen apply the cream on her hand and covered it with some gauze, she said, “You didn’t hurt your bones. The gauze is just to prevent the cream from being exposed. The swelling will go away in a few days.”Eileen raised her hand and waved it to Fia. “You really did hurt me, Ms. Sia. I can sue you, you know?”Fia raised her eyes and looked at her. “I can compensate you.”“I don’t lack money, though!” Eileen said with a cunning glint in her eyes. “Give me a hand.”Fia said, “If I help you, can you leave my house?”“If you help me, I won’t pester you again!” Eileen said with a smile. She didn’t think much when she said that.They were all living in Aurora Residences now. She could disturb her whenever she wanted!Fia said, “Tell me, then!”Eileen grinned. “If you give that Conrad a kiss, I’ll forgive you!”“Are you crazy?” Fia gave Eileen an icy glare. “You can kiss him yourself!”“Blergh! I’m not kissing him! I want to kill him whenever I see him!” Eileen sa
She was not worthy of him.Right from the start."Wait a moment."She lowered her head to treat the wounds of a mother and son, then stood up with the medical kit and smiled at him."Shall I treat you to a meal?""Sure."She led him through the damp and moldy alley to a shabby restaurant.She ordered two bowls of noodles in the local language, sat down at the old table, took out a handkerchief, and wiped it vigorously.Conrad looked at her. It was obvious that she was different from before.She had gone through hardship, suffering, despair, and then settled down.The noodles were not delicious. There was no oil or salt, and even the soup was bland and tasteless.He looked at her sallow face and said, "Is this what you've been eating the whole year you’ve been here?""This is considered a good meal." Annie did not complain and said that she usually just ate some steamed buns.The conditions here were poor and backward in various ways.Moreover, Lucifer was determined to ma
Fia stood on the streets, looking at the photos and remembering what Lucifer had once mentioned."When everything is over, how about I take you, Adrian, and Irene on a trip?"The man's blue eyes were like the sea, looking at her deeply.She fell into a daze for a moment back then.After coming back to her senses, she replied without emotion, "You should find a partner and travel around the world, and I should live a good life with my children."The sound of car horns on the road brought Fia back from her thoughts.She looked at the blue sky and white clouds and remembered the beggar boy she met on the bridge when she was a child.If he hadn't been taken away that day, would it have been different if he managed to wait until she and her mother went to find him?The days ahead were still very long, and she was not sure whether she would be able to live peacefully with Conrad in the future.But she would never swallow her anger like she did before.Later, Conrad, a decisive char
Irene whimpered, turned around, and hugged Adrian. "Adrian, does Daddy not want us anymore?""No, don't talk nonsense! Didn't you hear what Daddy just said?""I heard him, but why do we have to choose? I won't be happy no matter who Mommy marries.""Shut up!" Adrian was a little anxious. If this silly sister of his said in front of everyone that their mommy could marry two men, it would be over!"Why shut up? Why can't we be with Mommy, Daddy, and our biological dad..."Adrian immediately covered her mouth. He knew that this sister of his could not speak normal words!Everyone in the audience also had mixed emotions. Those who originally complained about Lucifer’s actions all became quiet at this moment.With Lucifer’s blessings, Conrad took off the mask.Fia looked at him, tears rolling down her face.How much she had wished to have a wedding back then. She did not expect it to be so many years late.Conrad said with difficulty, "I didn't expect him to do this either."He w
"Do you really want to stop the wedding?" Lucifer smiled half-heartedly, looking at him like a fool.***"What's going on? Why hasn't the groom come yet?" Everyone couldn't help discussing.Fia stood on the stage and exchanged looks with the emcee.Both of them were a little tired from standing.The emcee asked her awkwardly, "The groom?""He should be coming soon." After Fia finished speaking, the wind blew and revealed her face under the veil. "Just wait."The emcee cursed internally. 'It's really rare to have a wedding with such a beautiful bride kept waiting.'Fia fiddled with the veil on her head to cover her face, making her hazy beauty even more attractive.Just as everyone was waiting impatiently, the music suddenly changed to a more passionate one.The groom appeared.Wearing a black suit with gold threads and a blue rose on his chest, the six-foot-two man wore a golden mask on his face.With just one glance, Fia’s heart suddenly jumped and her body temperature bec
The two kids could only rush back to find their mother and tell her what happened.Fia did not panic. "You were raised by Daddy. Don't you trust him? He is a man who keeps his promises. He said he is just inviting them to the wedding, so they are just attending the wedding."Even though she was suspicious in her heart, she would not speak ill of him to her two children.This island belonged to Lucifer, and his spies were everywhere.If he was infuriated, no one stood to gain anything from it."But that person was not arranged to sit down. He was taken into the woods," Adrian said anxiously.Fia turned to look at her son. "Are you worried about him?"Adrian could not look directly at her.Irene spoke first. "I'm the one who’s worried. I don't want them to fight.""Oh." Fia reassured them. "It should be fine. Today is a special day. Your daddy will not want to see blood."She thought Lucifer was simply afraid that Conrad would cause trouble, so he brought him to the island to l
Amused, Lucifer said, "Those people are not under my command.""They gave you all the companies under their names. You said you'd let bygones be bygones, but if you go back on your word, how will your subordinates see you?"Fia’s eyes were a little arrogant.Lucifer’s expression turned cold and he stared at her and said, "How important do you think Hellish Training Camp is to me?""Then give it away!" Fia raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of teasing.Lucifer was speechless for a couple of seconds and explained to her seriously in a rare instance, "Those people have sacrificed a lot since they started following me. I can't ignore them. Except one day when there is a more suitable successor. I will take the initiative to give up my position.""Then you have to lead them well." Fia smiled slyly.Lucifer gritted his teeth with hatred. "Marrying you is equivalent to marrying a housekeeper. From now on, must everything I do have your permission?"Fia said, "Invisible shackles."On
"I got it.""Thank you, Daddy!" Adrian kissed him twice on the face. "My sister and I will take care of you until you die.""Hahahaha!" Lucifer could not stop laughing. "Okay, I'll wait until you two grow up to see me off."He smiled while carrying Adrian and walked to Fia and Irene.Irene was eating something and said vaguely, "Adrian’s temper is getting worse now, and he lost his temper with me.""Who is angry with you!" Adrian slid off Lucifer. "Who do you think you are, that you can influence me?""Mommy, Adrian is shouting at me!" Irene pouted.Adrian turned his back. "Forget it. I won't talk to you anymore."Lucifer and Fia looked at Irene."Mommy, Daddy, what are you looking at me for?" Irene blinked, looking innocent.Lucifer sat down beside her. "Adrian should love you, but you should also respect him.""Didn't I respect him?" Irene was a little confused.Fia said, "While I'm still here, you just spread rumors that he is angry with you."Irene replied, "But he was
Eileen returned to the living room."Is she really going to marry Lucifer?" Victor asked nervously.Eileen remained silent.Victor threw the spatula in his hand. "Can't you stop her for a bit?""Why should I stop her? No matter who she marries, she will always be my best friend!" Eileen said angrily. "Whoever wants to stop her should stop her on their own!"Victor saw that she was angry and quickly picked up the spatula. "I'm going to cook."Eileen rolled her eyes at him, sat on the sofa, and scrolled through her phone.Thinking of Adrian and Irene, she could not help but feel a little irritable.What if Fia and Lucifer had a child in the future?For the happiness of the two children, she forwarded the photo sent by Fia to Conrad.After Conrad received the photo, he immediately ordered everyone under him to put down all work and find the location in the photo.Three days later.The wedding on the island was beautifully decorated, dreamy and gorgeous, with Lucifer’s involvem
Soon, Fia knew what they were doing with just a little of the decoration showing.Decorating the wedding venue.Irene was a little girl who was very happy when she saw balloons and pink ribbons.She ran over and grabbed them, but her brother, Adrian, slapped her little hand."Don't cause trouble!""So beautiful! These uncles and aunts were invited by Daddy. Can't I play with these things?"Adrian pinched her cheek and said, "That's Daddy decorating the wedding scene for Mommy!""What?" Irene immediately retracted her hand and said with an apologetic look. "I'm sorry. I didn't know."Adrian rubbed her head and said, "It doesn't matter. Don’t simply meddle. It should be beautiful when it's done."Irene nodded, took her brother’s hand and hid under a nearby coconut tree, and spent the whole day doing nothing except cooking and watching them.By evening, the dreamy and beautiful wedding scene was mostly completed.Irene leaned against her brother and asked dully, "Daddy and Momm
