Adrian then added, “Daddy, no one can replace you in our hearts! You’re our family! We won’t be complete without you!”“You really know how to talk, boy.”At the door, the man stared at the woman as he held his cane.“Can I come in?”“No.” Fia extended her hand and blocked the door. She couldn’t help being nervous.She was suddenly very worried for him to meet with Lucifer face to face.“I don’t mean any harm. I just want to look at the kids.”“The kids don’t need you to look at them!” She refused to budge. “Please leave!”Conrad then pointed at the fruits to the side with his cane and said, “I bought them fruit.”“I can buy those myself. You can take them back!” Fia had just wanted to close the door when suddenly, someone held her hand.She had no words.She didn’t even need to turn around to know who it was.Kids didn’t have such big hands.Lucifer didn’t let her pull her hand away as he looked at the man with the cane from behind her.“You are?”Conrad looked at him.
Meanwhile, Fia had already led the twins who had finished breakfast to their multimedia room.“Mommy, will Daddy and Uncle Maxwell start fighting?” Irene asked.Adrian wanted to ask too, but he wasn’t as brave as his sister, so he could only watch his mother worriedly.“They won’t.” Fia gave her twins a smile. “Your daddy’s a patient man. He wouldn’t start a fight with anyone.”“That’s right! Daddy’s the best!” Irene immediately agreed too.Adrian, however, became even more worried.Fia ignored how he looked at her and patted his head. “Adrian, you’re still young. Don’t be like an adult and worry about everything. Learn from your sister.”“I can’t.”“What?”Adrian then said, “You told me to take good care of my sister since I was little. This is how I am. I can’t fix it.”When Fia heard that, she felt something stinging her heart.Adrian sighed. “It’s fine, Mommy. I don’t feel sad at all! I’m the big brother. It’s normal for me to take care of my little sister.”“Really?” F
Conrad gave a scornful look. He was not completely forgotten.But the person who remembered him was not the person he wanted.“Can we have lunch together? We haven’t had lunch together for so long.” Annie was worried that he would refuse, so she quickly added, “My mom also asked Mr. Payne to join us.”“Sure, understood.”“Conrad, you have to come. Mr. Payne said that he really loves the painting you gave him.”“I’ll go.” Conrad hung up.Annie didn’t dare to interrupt him anymore. But since he said that he would come, he wouldn’t go back on his word. She was worried that if she pestered him, he would simply reverse his decision.In the afternoon, Silas came to pick Conrad up. When the two of them were in the elevator, they saw the “family of four”.Lucifer was holding both the children with each hand while Fia was behind him.When she saw Conrad, she nodded at him and pulled her scarf.Meanwhile, Lucifer sincerely said, “What a coincidence, Mr. Maxwell.”Conrad simply nodde
“If you’re sick, go see the doctor!” Conrad used his cane to smack Silas’ butt.“You don’t know what’s good for you!” Fia took the opportunity to say her bit, pulling her son and daughter over to educate them. “Didn’t I tell you they aren’t good people?”Adrian and Irene’s eyes were red and they were about to cry.“Alright.” Lucifer pulled her hand away. “Don’t scare the kids.”“You!” Fia raised her head and glared at Lucifer, wanting to scold him, to say that he was crazy. Why did he have to blindly get involved!However, seeing his blue eyes that had a hint of laughter, she could not say anything.She was sent here by him for a mission. She did not have any right to blame him.This person was crazy and unfathomable.She could offend anyone but him.The two children were registered under him and for them to be moved under her register still depended on his consent.“Honey, what's wrong?" Lucifer asked with a smile, seemingly in a good temper."Don't talk to strangers." Fia’
Lucifer gently pulled out a few sheets of tissue to wipe away the sweat on Conrad’s face."I’m really sorry, I can’t assist. He has had medicine that contains toxins for many years and his body has been hollowed out. He won’t be able to be cured in a short period of time. I’m no Asclepius."Fia swept him a glance, internally despising him.Everything was directed by him. Why was he acting innocent!“Honey, don’t you agree?”“Yes, I do.” Fia forced herself to cooperate with him.She was in the same boat as Lucifer was, and it would not be possible to offend Lucifer for the sake of helping Conrad.“Then, could I trouble you to explain to the kids? Otherwise, the children will blame me for watching on without assisting.” Lucifer sounded worried and his expression matched his tone.This act of his tricked Silas.Silas immediately called Sally.“Doctor Sally, Mr. Maxwell’s fallen unconscious yet again. Can you… Is surgery more important than Mr. Maxwell?“I don’t mean that, Docto
Fia shuddered and stared at Lucifer’s blue eyes in a daze.“What kind of deep hatred do you have for him?”“Why? Does your heart hurt for him?” Lucifer’s gaze was mocking.“No. I’m just curious. It has been so many years, yet you have not let him go. What exactly is the hatred between you?”“Transforming like a phoenix, reborn from the ashes.” Lucifer gently spat out the words and walked toward the carousel.The moment it stopped, he carried each child up with either hand.Lucifer and the two children turned around and smiled at Fia.At that instant, Fia experienced what was called visionary stimulation.Adrian and Irene trusted Lucifer and Lucifer liked them as well.If there wasn’t all this deceit and intrigue, it wouldn’t be so bad if they were a family.However, she knew that Lucifer was the one who couldn’t let things go, so she could not hope or count on it.What she could do was complete the last mission and leave with her children.“What’s wrong?” Lucifer saw her re
“Do you have an appointment?”“No.”The receptionist said quite apologetically, “I’m sorry, but you can’t meet Mr. Evans without an appointment.”At this moment, a series of steady footsteps came from outside the door.Fia subconsciously looked over and saw Jason, who was in the middle of the group, and immediately ran over.“Mr. Evans, I have something to discuss with you.”“Who are you? Move aside!” The security wanted to drag Fia away.Before he managed to touch her, a voice stopped him. “Wait a minute. I know her.”Jason dismissed the people around him and walked to Fia. “Why do you wish to meet me?”“You know me?” Fia was a little curious.“At the auction. Have you forgotten?”“Oh, yes. That’s right!” Fia was a little embarrassed. “Do you have time?”Jason looked at his watch and then at Fia. “Yes, let’s talk in my office.”“Sure, thank you.”In the office, he took off his coat and looked at the reserved Fia.“Ms. Sia, please take a seat.”“Thank you.” Fia sat at t
“You were once a good doctor. And a doctor’s dream is to save the dying and help the wounded. Why would you give up your dream to be where you are today?”She asked very calmly, not avoiding Jason’s increasingly terrifying gaze.“Why are you so sure that my dream is to save the dying and help the wounded?” Jason said sarcastically. “Who doesn’t wish to earn more money? What job would make me earn more than being a boss now?”Fia looked at him at a loss.Jason got up and threw away the beer can. “I accept your order. Leave your phone number. I will get someone to contact you.”Fia was a little bit disappointed. She drank a sip of water and said, “There is no need anymore. I think you are right. I don’t need to simply spend money.”She suddenly did not wish to stay even a second longer.For someone to not dare to even admit to their dreams, no matter how amazing they appeared, it showed that they were fearful within and not brave enough to even face themselves.She did not wish t
