“It is because you are my mother that I did not personally make a move.” Conrad was expressionless. He was lying in the hospital and was not allowed to move. However, investigating the person Beryl’s colluded with could not be delayed. The earlier he was able to investigate it, the faster he could deal with the person who was causing trouble behind the scenes! “Hahaha!” Beryl suddenly started laughing. “You unfilial child! You will receive your retribution!” Tyler turned the camera back on his own face. He said to Conrad, “Rest well. Leave the matter of interrogating your mother to me.” “Alright.” Tyler hung up and knelt down in front of Beryl. “Conrad has been at your beck and call, leaving you to torture him over the past five years. That has been filial of him. I advise you to spill everything about your mission. We will also take into consideration that you are mother and son and let things slide a little.” During the five years Conrad lost his memories, it was
“Don’t you plan to get married and have kids?” Sophia was speechless. “My sister and I still have Mommy and Daddy. When the time comes, we can’t take care of so many people. So, Aunt Sophia, it’s still better for you to get married and give birth to your own children.” Sophia looked at Adrian in astonishment, noticing how similar he was to Conrad. He was so young, yet his words were mature to the point of being terrifying. “Adrian is right. I think so too!” “Go take a bath first.” Adrian walked out with hope. He put his sister’s clothes neatly on the stool in the bathroom. Sophia squeezed in before Irene locked the door. Irene was shocked. “Aunt Sophia, what are you doing?” “Let me help you wash your hair, alright?” “Oh, I can wash my own hair standing under the shower head.” “I’ll help you. It’ll be faster.” Sophia had a look of anticipation. Irene pitied her a little. Seeing how she was about the same age as her own mother, yet did not have a hu
“I don’t know.” Irene’s small face was all scrunched up. “Neither does Adrian.” “Then, before you all found out that he was your father, what did you both think of him as an uncle?” Meeting Sophia’s eager gaze, Irene said seriously, “Quite good. Both Adrian and I pitied him because of his bad leg. Every time he saw the both of us, he would be extra gentle and kept giving us gifts.” “Then, did you all like him?” Irene nodded and said softly, “I quite liked him. Adrian too.” Sophia hugged Irene and gently patted her back. “I hope that you can have a complete family.” “Do you mean that you hope for Adrian and I to acknowledge our father? But Mommy would be very upset.” “It’s not possible now, but it doesn’t mean it will not be possible in the future.” Sophia let go of Irene and gave her a genuine smile. "I believe that once Mr. Maxwell knows of your identities, he would be extra happy."“Will he? Back then when Mommy had us, why did he hurt Mommy’s heart? He clearly k
Replying to Fia's message.Eileen had also mentioned it previously so Fia stared at Sophia’s message in a daze for quite a few seconds.Fia returned to the living room to sit down, thinking about it as she swiped through the online shopping platforms to search for a bunk bed.A lot of cute beds popped up, the kind where the top and bottom bunk were very safe and even had stairs. Just looking at it made her fancy it.The corners of Sophia’s lips curled up as she replied, ’ve taken a look. The nursery is spacious. We can put the bunk bed there. Then we can
His gaze turned deep as he stared at Fia. “The way you did it just now reminded me of my wife.”“......”Fia was speechless. "Except for my wife, you're the second one." Other women couldn't get this close to him at all. However, Fia said, "Miss Parker should be an exception, right?" "No." "Liar." Fia turned to pour water, suppressing her curiosity about this question. When he woke up with amnesia, besides his mother, there was Felicity by his side. She wouldn’t believe that Felicity hadn't taken care of him like a wife! Conrad saw her about to leave the master bedroom and hastily said, "During the days at the hospital, it was Silas and Charles who took turns watching over me." "Were the Parker sisters unwilling to take care of you?" Fia asked sarcastically. "No." Conrad frowned, not understanding why she was so concerned about the Parker sisters. "And why is that?" Fia leaned against the door, trying to keep her expression calm as if she was casually as
Fia cleared her throat. "You're overthinking it. Right now, in my eyes, you're just a patient, without any personal emotions."Conrad's lips curled slightly. "It's okay. I can handle any outcome. I've been limping for five years. I'm used to it."A tightness gripped Fia’s heart as she remembered the first time she saw him limping. Her emotions became a bit restless."Don't talk so much!"She reached out and gently pressed Conrad’s shoulder to lay him down."Tiger, administer the anesthesia."The lower half of his body would be numbed, making him unaware of the surgery process below the waist, but his brain would remain clear, and he wouldn't fall into a deep sleep.His right pant leg was cut off, exposing his entire leg.Fia took a deep breath and steadied herself. She said calmly, "I'm starting now. If you feel any discomfort, please let me know, okay?"She looked into his amber eyes."Okay." Conrad seemed to smile a bit, showing no fear.Tiger connected the monitoring devi
Fia didn't have time to correct how Tiger addressed her. She said, "Wait, it's almost done."This nerve had been injured five years ago and hadn't been repaired since. Nerves were delicate.There was only one chance!She couldn't afford to give up now.Hearing Tiger nearly breaking down, desperately urging Conrad not to fall asleep, Fia’s eyes couldn’t help reddening. Images of Conrad when he was young appeared in her mind."Sir, don't sleep, Sir!" Tiger shouted in his ear, his hand continuously slapping Conrad’s face.Conrad was in a daze, feeling too sleepy and too tired. He really wanted to close his eyes.Tiger agonized cries were so loud. He really wished he could cover his mouth.***"It's done!" Fia dropped the surgical instruments from her hand. "Tiger, I'll leave the rest to you!"She didn't have time to remove the blood-stained surgical gloves. She quickly pulled Tiger to where she was.Standing in front of Conrad, she grabbed his ears firmly, exerting force.At
She leaned on the bathroom sink with her hands and laughed at her reflection in the mirror."Am I stupid? Why did I save him?"At that moment, she had no intention of letting go, not even a bit.She was afraid that he might close his eyes and never wake up again.He didn't even know she was still alive, let alone that she had given birth to two lovely and kind-hearted children for him.How could he just die like that?“I don’t want him to die.” She closed her eyes as she said each word which came from the bottom of her heart.Whether it was because she hadn't completely let go of the past or because of their two children, she genuinely didn't want him to die in front of her.***Back in the hospital room, Conrad had been sleeping for two days, sustained by nutrition fluids.Tiger was anxious every day, frequently coming to Fia and asking, "Why does he keep sleeping?“When will he awaken?”Fia looked up impatiently. "What are you afraid of? I'm right here. I won't run away!"
