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
“My mother has been sent to the nursing home?” Conrad asked numbly.“Yes, Sir. Mr. Lane has arranged for it after you ordered it.”“I want to see her.”Silas then took Conrad to the nursing home.It was the best nursing home in the capital. The environment and everything else were superb.Conrad walked around and didn’t find anything lacking.Silas said, “Don’t worry, Sir. Her life here won’t be any worse than living at the mansion.”“Sure.”Beryl was sitting in the park when the sight of Conrad walking in caught her attention. She looked at his legs.Silas had been following him and was standing next to him. Only then could he better protect him if anything happened.“Your legs are healed?” Beryl said in disbelief. “You couldn’t walk for five years, and you recovered just like that?”“Ms. Sia did the surgery,” Conrad said calmly.“Her?” Beryl became even more skeptical. “She’s no doctor! How could she save your legs?!”“Mother,” Conrad said as the atmosphere around him be
