Adrian pursed his lips. "Are you happy?"He couldn't believe his little sister was asking such a strange question, especially in front of this heartless old man!Fia put the gift box down and walked behind the two children, her gaze coolly fixed on Conrad.Conrad’s eyes remained locked on the two children, finding their words quite peculiar.Were they asking if the other was happy to see him injured?Did he have some deep-seated grudge with these two kids?Before he recovered his memories, he had been quite kind to them, and they seemed to like him."Are you doing okay?" Fia interrupted Conrad’s thoughts.Conrad raised his gaze to meet Fia’s, and a wicked thought crossed his mind.This woman was too mysterious to him.Perhaps he should provoke her a bit!"No need to worry," he said in a cold tone. "The one I saved wasn’t you."Fia and the two children stared at him in bewilderment.He continued with a lie. "I saved you on impulse because you reminded me of my deceased wife
“Ms. Sia, what do you mean?” Tiger interjected in astonishment. "Are you saying you can perform surgery on Sir right now?" Fia met Tiger’s skeptical gaze. "Yes, the surgery has a one hundred percent success rate, and with my medicine, he'll only need a month of rest before he can walk again." “How is that possible! I don’t believe it!” Tiger said agitatedly. "Believe it or not, that's up to you. There is no gain or loss for me. It's up to him whether he wants it or not," Fia said, looking at Conrad who was lying down.Conrad's forehead was oozing with sweat. The anesthesia had worn off, and the operated area was becoming increasingly painful, affecting his entire leg.Silas helped him wipe the sweat from his forehead and said with some disapproval, "Sir has just come out of surgery, and now you're suggesting another one. I'm afraid his body won't be able to handle it."“Exactly!” Tiger disagreed as well.Conrad stared at Fia, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "I
"What do you mean unconventional methods? I know traditional Chinese medicine and pharmaceuticals, while he can analyze the composition of drugs." Tiger frowned. "But what she just said, about continuing surgery on Sir and letting him walk in a month, that's not something ordinary people in our field can achieve.""So, she might not be an ordinary person," Silas said."Not an ordinary person?" Tiger stopped and grabbed Silas’ arm. "Does that mean she's from a training camp like us?"Silas replied, "If that's the case, then who does she belong to?"Both of them stared at each other with big question marks on their foreheads."Can you get me an extra pillow?" Conrad stared at Fia, who was sitting on the side playing with her phone.Fia looked up at him and said, "The pillow shouldn't be too high."Conrad sighed and lifted his head to see the two children squatting at the foot of the bed. They had placed a chair in between them and were playing with a puzzle."Are the two children
"He's a patient, you know? He just had surgery, and it's painful. If you're harsh with him, he'll hurt even more." Irene said with a little grievance.Adrian became even angrier. "He's not anyone to us. Why do you care so much about him?!"“Adrian.” Fia’s tone was a little stern. “Talk to your sister a little more gently.”“Mommy.” Adrian felt aggrieved. He was just a little more repulsed toward the scum of a man than his sister was! It was not like he did anything wrong.“Alright, stop arguing.” Fia finally moved her gaze away from her phone.She passed her phone over to Adrian. “Come over. I’ll let you play with my phone.”Adrian walked over a little reluctantly, accepting his mother’s phone and he started playing games.Fia got up to Irene’s side and rubbed her head. She looked at Conrad and said, “What intentions do you hold?”“I have no intentions.” Conrad started to frown when speaking, his wound hurting even more.Fia glanced at his leg and asked. "Do you want me to cal
In his last life, he must have saved the galaxy to have gotten this mother-children trio.“What are you looking at!” Adrian glared at Conrad, dissatisfied that he was staring at them foolishly.Conrad scratched his nose. “You three have a very good relationship. I’m a little jealous.”Adrian thought of how Conrad's mother had drugged his food for five whole years and could not bear to continue being fierce.“I will never be able to feel sibling love in this lifetime.” Conrad’s amber eyes turned gentle. “You have to appreciate the fate you have with your sister, love her, and protect her.”“I don’t need you to tell me that. Mommy and Daddy tell me this all the time!” Adrian pulled his sister to his side and sat down, crawling to the side of her ear and said, “Do you feel like he looks a little silly now?”Irene looked at Conrad. “I don’t think so.”“It’s like he's crazy, his emotions are ever changing.” Adrian continued to speak by his sister’s ear.Irene scratched her head. “I
“Mr. Maxwell, it is true that I said I would treat your leg. But it’s still up to me whether or not this leg will be completely healed.”As she was saying this, Fia pressed on Conrad’s wound forcefully. Feeling pain on his wound, a layer of sweat seeped up on his forehead. Still, he did his best to bear with the pain, not making a sound.Seeing him withstanding pain like that, Fia felt an intense urge to hurt him more. Hence, she pressed on the wound even harder. Conrad’s face turned pale as he sweated more but he still did not make a sound. She hated seeing him acting tough in front of her like this. If he whimpered out in pain, she would have stopped. Yet, he did his darndest in bearing the pain and not saying anything. This angered her even more.Suddenly, she sensed something wet and sticky in her palm. It was then she realized she had pressed his wound too hard, making it bleed. She quickly flipped his blanket open to check his wound. Sure enough, there was a huge patch of re
No, it’s not possible! After all, their relationship had gone sour a long time ago.“Not without reason? Then would you kindly tell me what’s the reason then?” Conrad was quick to notice the vagueness in her words.Looking back at him straight in the eyes for a while, Fia gave a pretty smile and said, “I did not have a good first impression of you. That’s why.”Furrowing his brows, Conrad recalled the first time they met. He had fallen down and Adrian had come to his aid. He had not regained any memory at all at the time and he felt a warm closeness when facing Adrian. When he wanted to befriend the little boy, she trudged to their side and pulled Adrian away from him.Her eyes were cold and hostile when she looked at him, as though she thought he was a human trafficker who was planning to kidnap her son.“I don’t think I did anything wrong the first time we met.”“You appearing in front of us is already a huge mistake.” Fia stood up and walked to the balcony to accompany her kid
Tiger frowned as he detected the seething hatred beneath her sharp sarcasm. Not understanding where that hatred was coming from, Tiger could only retort back, “No woman has ever treated our boss like this ever!”“…”Fia took a moment to think about it and concluded that he was right. Not even Esme Manning or her—his wife—had treated him like this before. To them, he was their treasure and they would never do anything to hurt his pride. Regardless, he was not her Mr. Perfect anymore. Now, seeing him only reminded her of all the unbearable pain and torment she had endured in the past. She wanted nothing to do with this man anymore. Yet, he kept on getting close to her despite getting rejected again and again!So, the more he approached her, the more she wanted to torture him!“He asked for it,” Fia said coldly and looked away.“Just who the heck are you?!” “Tiger, be quiet.” Conrad was dissatisfied with Tiger’s rude attitude to Fia. It had taken him great effort to make this
