She had to find Sia. She was left with no choice but to make her brother take any medicine she obtained from her. She knew Peter had done a lot of bad things overseas. So, she had always been worried that someone would come looking to hurt him for revenge.Peter was her brother. She had to protect him with whatever she could.Half an hour later, Mrs. Hall put a hand on Peter’s forehead to check his body temperature. “Oh my, it’s still really hot!”Sally unbuttoned Peter’s shirt to perform a simple medical checkup. A few seconds later, she exclaimed in joy, “He’s sweating! Oh, thank goodness! Mom, he’s sweating! It’s a sign that the fever is fading.”“Really? You don’t have to comfort me, Sally.”“It’s true, mom! Don’t worry. Peter is getting better now. You go get some rest. I’ll look after him.”Wiping off her tears, Mrs. Hall sobbed in joy. “Thank goodness. If this goes on, I don’t know what to tell your father.”Sally patted on her mother’s back and sighed. “It’s fine now
“What is it?” Noticing Peter gawking from behind, Lucifer stopped and turned toward him impatiently.Regaining his composure, Peter said instinctively, “Nothing. It’s just that… It’s great to see you like this.”“Like this? What do you mean by that?” Lucifer looked at Peter intently with his inhospitable, cold eyes.Seeing his master's unfriendly gaze, Peter could feel extreme anxiety and fear filling his mind. Yet, he took a deep breath and worked up his courage to say it.“This is the first time I’ve seen you warming up to people. It’s great to see you like this.”“Heh, so this is what you have to say when we’re meeting for the first time? What? Is this your new, creative way of begging for my kindness?” Lucifer said sarcastically. “…”Peter dared not say more. He lowered his head and silently followed his master to the elevator. Entering it, Lucifer took a glance at the security camera as the door closed. Before exiting the elevator, they did not say a word at all.As th
“Heh, you don’t get it. She’s indeed a little smarter than the rest of you. More importantly, she had a close relationship with Conrad Maxwell so she has more use than all of you.”Finishing his words, Lucifer began gulping down the whiskey from the bottle.Staring at his master, Peter had a feeling that he was not speaking truthfully. Yet, he did not dare to call him out on it.“Are you done talking?” Lucifer gave him a cold side-eye.Remaining silent for a few seconds, Peter finally opened his mouth again.“Master, I just wish that you do not repeat my mistake.”“…”“No matter what your intention is, Ms. Sia is innocent. She’s like Britney, a victim through and through from the beginning. I hope that you do not treat her as another dispensable pawn.”Taking a deep breath, Peter continued, “I wish that you’d live a normal, peaceful life. You’ve lived such a lonely life all these years, Master. Seeing you living happily with Ms. Sia and her children… I feel that this is the lif
“Once this last mission is done, I will just be another normal man. I’ll be Adrian and Irene’s daddy.”As Lucifer said that, he grasped Fia’s wrist even tighter.“What are you worried about?” Fia asked, pretending not to know why.Lucifer wished he could break her wrist. “You let them discover Conrad is their real father!”Fia lowered her gaze. “We can’t hide it from them forever.”“Aren’t you worried?”“Adrian and Irene have no feelings for him. He’s less important than you. How could he be compared to me? Their own birth mother?”“Ha!” Lucifer let go of her. “Fia, you bend like a reed. You’re like a madwoman.”Fia said nothing.“Alright, stand properly and stop lying,” Lucifer said with a smile.Fia was a bit embarrassed and said in an irritated tone, “You don’t have to worry about me. You better put your focus on whether you can outplay Conrad!”She turned around and went back to her room to take a nap.Evening. Lucifer woke up from his drunkenness. He then took his car
As Conrad and Lucifer exchanged words, the atmosphere got awkward.Silas glanced at Conrad, to Lucifer, and then back again. He wasn’t sure what Lucifer was trying to say.Despite how he was being courteous toward his boss and showed that he cared…Silas felt his senses tingling.Conrad stared at Lucifer for another two seconds before asking, “Seems like you’re interested in me a lot?”“Of course I am. The young hero of the business world… How can others not be impressed?“But who knew that you almost didn’t survive after letting a car run you over because of your dead wife, and that you lost your memories as a result of that.“I wonder if I should feel pity for how you and your wife aren’t meant to be together, or if I should praise you for your persistence.”Lucifer then let out a pretentious sigh. “So many kings and heroes couldn’t escape the stings of beauties since ancient times.”Conrad’s expression became even colder. “I don’t know what you’re trying to say to me.”“Yo
When Silas finished his explanation but saw how Conrad was unmoved, he realized that this was the result he wanted.“Thank you,” Conrad said faintly. “You should leave.”“Let me stay with you.”“I’m going to sleep. You don’t need to be here.”Silas said nothing.When Conrad saw that he wasn’t leaving, he said, “Stay at the company tomorrow. Without me there, things will go out of hand if you’re absent too.”“Alright. I’ll leave in a while.” Silas was still worried. He was hoping that Conrad would tell Tiger to come back.But he said that he still hadn’t fully recovered his memories. He couldn’t remember how to log into the Training Camp’s site.But now, even he suspected that it was not that his boss hadn’t recovered his full memories… He simply didn’t want to look for Tiger.“I’m going to bed now. You’ll only disturb me if you stay here!” Conrad’s tone was cold and filled with disdain.Silas had no more excuses to stay. After arranging for the bodyguards and caretaker, he le
Since Conrad had regained his memories today, he had been thinking about what had happened in the past five years. He hadn’t thought about Sia and her children yet.But now, they were in his mind thanks to Adrian’s call.Sia’s temperament was different from Fia’s, and she had a different skin color. Even her facial features were generally different from hers.But why would he feel upset when he first saw her when he didn’t have his memories? Was it all because her voice was the same as Fia's?Then he remembered how he woke up five years ago and fell into Beryl, Felicity, and Annie’s trap. Suddenly, he was disgusted with his affection for Sia.Perhaps it was because his slight dependence on Felicity and Annie made others think that they saw his weakness.And they created a woman like her!Felicity and Annie could already deceive him despite their voices being only slightly like Fia's because of their blood relation!Then, what about a woman like Sia whose voice was the same as F
If those benefits ended up in Beryl’s hands, at least it would end up with the Maxwells in the end.But if Beryl gave it to someone else, then she would have wasted everything she did in the past five years!Beryl suddenly realized that she couldn’t stand up straight when she looked into Felicity’s inquisitive eyes.She could rightfully say that she didn’t owe her son anything.No children could hate their mothers in the end!She was his mother! That was her right!But she and Felicity had no relationship at all. However, Felicity had been treating her well in the past five years all things considered. It would be a lie to say she wasn’t touched.She had lived for so long and no one had treated her that well.“Aunt Beryl, you…” Felicity shook her head in disappointment.However, she had already seen plenty of shake-ups during her time as the CEO of Parker Group.Beryl’s eyes had already proven that Conrad was right.“I’m so sorry, Felicity. All I could do is let Conrad mar
