Fia bit her lips and said, “I want to visit Eileen. Can you bring me to her?”She rubbed her belly. “I can’t get off the bed and walk around like this.”Conrad got some medicine out from the drawer and said, “Take your medicine first.”Fia quickly ate it and looked at him expectantly.“Can we go now?”“Leave Doctor Hall a message.” With that, Conrad carried Fia like a princess.Fia sent a message to Sally while she was in his arms, then she grabbed Conrad’s neck tightly.He gave her buttocks a pat and asked, “Where to?”“Bellwood Hills.”Conrad frowned. “She has a place there?”“Yes, I’ve been there once.”“Victor has a mansion there too.”Fia frowned.Conrad then said coldly, “Sapphire saved her this once. She wouldn’t save her again.”Fia’s heart sank. She knew that he was trying to tell her not to let Eileen stay with Victor.“Tell her to move out from Bellwood Hills. Fia, I’m doing this because of you.”“I know.”Conrad was worried that Fia would get hurt while the
Fia stared at Victor with a fire burning in her eyes.She hated how lightly he was making the situation sound!“You’re Conrad’s cousin, so I should call you cousin-in-law as well. So, what are you going to do to Eileen next, dear cousin-in-law?”Victor’s eyes turned frigid. “This is between me and her. I have no need to tell you anything.”Conrad then said, “Fia can refuse the transfer using the same reason as well.”“…”Eileen looked at the three of them who looked like they were going to start a war at any time and said, “We should deal with the transfer first. If you think that it’s not convenient for you, don’t worry about it. I’ll ask my personal assistant about it later.”“You misunderstood me, Eileen. I’m willing to help you. But if someone wanted to really dig into this matter, they’ll still find some traces even if the title was transferred a few times. It’s not the best way to deal with this.”Fia then turned and gave Conrad a look.Conrad looked at Victor and said,
Eileen paused, but she stood with her back straight. “There’s no need to reconsider my options. Please thank Ms. Starling on my behalf. I’m a human, after all. Not an animal. I can’t hurt another innocent person knowingly!”Fia looked at Eileen worriedly. After she got into the car from the other side, she looked out of the car numbly.“Our future will only get better.”“Yeah.” Eileen sighed before flashing a smile at Fia. “Don’t worry, I’m fine.”Conrad focused on driving the whole way and didn’t cut in between their conversation.He drove directly to the Koi Gardens basement. No one knew Eileen Reid would be here, so there was no one here at all.Even when she got down the car, Eileen was still covering herself. She then said to Conrad, “Take Fia back to the hospital. I can head up myself.”“Eileen…” Fia looked at her with worry on her face as she held onto Eileen’s hand.Eileen grinned at her, saying, “I’m not that weak. Trust me.”“I want to stay with you.”“Now that the
When they were on their way back from Koi Gardens to the hospital, the two of them didn’t speak to each other.Conrad carried Fia back to her ward in the hospital, but there was already someone sitting there.“Conrad…”Esme looked at Conrad carrying Fia with teary eyes. She tightened her hands and cursed at Fia to die sooner than later in her mind.Conrad looked at her with a frown before putting Fia back on the bed and he said in a frosty demeanor, “Didn’t I tell you not to come here and disturb Fia?”“I have something important to tell you. It’s very important. I’ve been waiting for an hour, and I didn’t even eat breakfast.”Fia raised an eyebrow as she lay on the bed. She sighed. ‘Here we go again. She’s trying to act pitiful to get more attention.’“What is it?” Conrad sat next to the bed and said to her coldly.Esme kept on acting and said, “After what happened to Eileen, I don’t know how they did their investigation but they pinned it on me. Your cousin then started to at
Conrad frowned even deeper and looked at Esme coldly, upset.“That’s not what I…” Mean.Before he could say the final word, Esme cried out first. “Fia, I know that you don’t like how Conrad and I were together. But everyone has a past! No matter what, we can’t erase what happened in the past to make you feel better.”Fia could only feel the pain in her head throbbing as if her heart had been skewered by something.She slapped Conrad's hand away as she stared at her with red eyes and brutally said, “Esme, a shameless whore like you will die a terrible death! Go to hell!”“Why are you cursing me like that, Fia? I didn’t say anything at all!”The more Esme was pretending, the worse Fia lost control of her emotions. She scratched Conrad’s hand and growled, “Let go!”“Calm down!” Conrad stood up, hoping to calm her down by holding her shoulders. Instead, she bit him on the hand instead.“Ah…” He gasped out in pain.“What are you doing, Fia?! You’re not a dog. You shouldn’t be bitin
The person on the other end was silent for two seconds. “Ms. Manning offered 300 thousand.”“Give me an account number. I’ll transfer 150 thousand first. Once it’s done, I’ll transfer the remaining 450 thousand.”After she hung up, Fia could feel her limbs go cold as she felt nervousness overtake her.She had never spoken with those people, but she really couldn’t let go of what Esme wanted to do to her.She must reveal the true face of his childhood love to him!Inside the general surgeon’s office.“Conrad!” Esme grabbed Conrad’s arm, her face filled with fear.Conrad gave the doctor that was bandaging her a look and said, “I can’t help with anything here. The doctor will deal with your injuries.”Esme grabbed his arm and refused to let go.Conrad pulled his arm out of her grasp and the impatience in his eyes became apparent.“I won’t repeat myself and there’s nothing else to say. Goodbye.”He turned around and walked out, worried that Fia would let her mind wander too far
When Fia turned around, her face and ears became red uncontrollably.The handsome man that was properly dressed a moment ago was wearing nothing but a pair of boxers, and his perfect abdominal V-line was so alluring.“I don’t want my clothes, alright?” he asked sincerely.Fia couldn’t help but gulp as her eyes shifted away. Her heart began to beat even faster.The man was becoming more and more unpredictable.“You still think I’m filthy? You can’t expect me to shred my skin, right?” Conrad said with a sad tone. However, it was not girly at all. His voice was still cold, but there was a hint of lethargy in it.Fia bit her tongue and accidentally bit the spot where she had bit before this. It was so painful that she winced.“What happened?” Conrad instantly became anxious. “Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Wait for me. I’ll get the doctor.”Fia pulled his hand and said, “I’m fine.”She took a deep breath and said, “Just don’t let her in and annoy me.”“Yeah, I know.”S
Sapphire was stunned before her smile became even more widened and honest.“Even then, that’s the person that we love. Isn’t marrying him a dream come true?”“…” Fia could only remain silent.“Fia, we’re both the same. Neither of us is any better than the other, so don’t advise me to give up just like I never advised you to. Even if the path we take is a lonely one and we find out that we have chosen wrongly, we at least tried it and gave it our all. That’s better than not doing anything at all.”But slowly, Sapphire’s smile disappeared from her face, and she looked at Fia cynically.“You and Eileen Reid are good friends, right?”Fia’s hand tightened. She couldn’t hide any of her emotions from Sapphire anymore as she looked at her.“I know that the reason you asked me to come over is to let go of Victor, am I right? All of you think that he doesn’t love me, so I shouldn’t pester him. But my feelings are genuine. Why should I be the one to let him go? He didn’t ask for my help th
