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!"
As soon as she arrived home, Fia was surrounded by her children and Sophia.“Mommy, how’s Uncle Conrad’s leg?” Irene was the first to speak. Sophia did not dare to ask so she had to rely on the children to do the talking.Petting her daughter’s head, Fia said, “The operation was successful. Now, all he has to do is rest.”Adrian said, “So, after taking a rest, he’ll be able to walk properly?”“Yes.” Fia gave Sophia a warm smile. “Thank you for looking after them for me, Sophia.”Sophia shook her head and said, “Oh, don’t mention it. Actually, Adrian and Irene are so independent. They didn’t need me to babysit them at all. They did not even let me help them with their baths.”Hearing this, Fia felt a pain in her heart. “Compared to other children their age, these two are mentally mature. It’s my fault. I’ve been busy with work and could not do much for them. They are so independent because they have been living a rough childhood.”Sophia instinctively asked, “Did Mr. Guthrie no
“It’s all right, Sophia.” Fia comforted her with a warm smile, “Go get some rest. You must be very tired from taking care of the kids for the past few days.”She quietly opened the children’s bedroom to check on them. The kids were fast asleep, tucked in their blankets tightly. They were so smart and mature compared to other children of their age. So, she did not have to worry about them too much.Returning to her bedroom, Fia sent a message to Lucifer. “I’m going to buy an apartment in this residential area. When you’re done with your work, you can stay in it. Okay?”Meanwhile, Lucifer, dressed in a full business suit, was talking to his business partners. Suddenly, a soothing chime was sounded by his phone. It was the one with his personal number. Only Fia and the children knew of this number.“Excuse me for a moment, gentlemen.” He then stepped to a secluded corner before taking out his phone. After reading Fia’s message, he began replying to it, giving it his full attention
“We did but we aren’t able to get the number. He masks his number every time he calls her,” Tyler answered in frustration.Conrad answered with a smile, “I see. It’s fine. You go home and be with your family. Let’s stop for now.”“Wait, you’re not going to interrogate your mother further?”“It’s no use. She doesn’t know anything.”Tyler nodded. “Yeah, I think so too. So, what now?”“Let her live. She’s still my birth mother after all.” Conrad closed his eyes and said, “Send her to a nursing home.”He did not even want to see her face again. No matter what kind of grudge she had with Garrett Maxwell, she had no reason to take it out on her child. Yet, that was exactly what she did, making his childhood miserable!In the last five years, he had lost his memories so he had formed a dependency on her. He did everything to satisfy her demands yet she drugged him! Fortunately, that person did not want him dead too easily, or else Beryl would have poisoned him to death long ago!She w
Irene had a bad stomachache, and so Fia was taking her to the hospital.Sophia was wearing a hat, mask, and sunglasses, holding Adrian’s hand as she accompanied them.They met each other at the hospital entrance. Fia was holding Irene in her arms when she walked past Conrad. She couldn’t help but ask, “Your legs haven’t healed?”“They did.” Conrad wanted to say something else.But Tiger cut him off first. “Sir could already walk about half a month ago, and he has fully recovered! It’s all thanks to you.”“Huh. I thought my skills weren’t sufficient.” With that, Fia ran in together with Irene.Conrad frowned. He and Silas had noticed the woman who was trying to hide her face.Sophia wanted to hasten together with Adrian, but Adrian was curious about Conrad’s legs.“If your legs are okay, why are you still in a wheelchair?”Conrad and the others looked at Adrian.Silas then said, “He has just recovered. I’m worried that he’ll tire himself out and it won’t help with his recover
Both Fia and Sophia froze.Irene shrunk in Fia’s arm. She wasn’t in the mood.Adrian then said, “Daddy is very busy and is working outstation, but he’ll contact us every day.”He didn’t want the doctor to have any misconceptions and affect his father’s reputation.The doctor smiled awkwardly. “That’s not what I meant. I’m just asking. It’s quite difficult for a single person to take care of the children. Luckily, you have a friend who can help you with the admission process while you take care of the kids.”“Thank you, doctor.” Fia nodded and took Irene out of the doctor’s office. She immediately saw Conrad standing outside with Tiger and Silas next to him like his guardian angels.“Ms. Sia, please hold the young miss. Let me help you with the admission.” Tiger grabbed the letter from Sophia.Sophia looked at him running away, wanting to give him a kick.“Is the girl okay?” Conrad asked.Fia held Irene slightly tighter. “She’s fine. She just needs to be admitted for a day or t
However, it felt extremely strange to Conrad. When he remembered how Silas said that the woman looked like Sophia, he wanted to find out more.“Even if you don’t mind about it, I do,” Sophia said as she lowered her voice.Adrian frowned. Aunt Sophia lied. She was scared to look at his lousy father.Why?He felt that it was strange, but he didn’t expose her.After the nurse gave Irene an injection, she left.Fia looked at the needle on the back of her hand. She only turned to look at Conrad once she was sure that it wouldn’t bleed or get swollen.“She’s my friend. Are you interested in her?”“I’m not!” Conrad had no choice but to move away under her gaze.“If you have nothing else, please leave and don’t interrupt my daughter’s rest.” Fia coldly asked him to leave.If he and Silas were to stay here, they would eventually recognize Sophia.Tiger was worried about it too. “Let’s go, Sir. We can’t help her by staying.”Conrad had no choice but to leave when faced with how unwel
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
