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
Conrad carried the breakfast over and pretended not to see her worries.“You’re awake. I’ll get you some water to wash up. You can have breakfast after that.”Fia’s eyes were fixed on him. When he came over with a basin of warm water, she asked, “You knew?”“You already guessed it,” Conrad said calmly. He wasn’t that interested in Victor’s marriage.He placed the basin of warm water on the chair and dampened a towel to wipe her hands and face. He then put some toothpaste on the toothbrush and asked her to brush her teeth.Fia took the basin and brushed her teeth as her eyes shifted.The entire atmosphere for the day was very quiet and calm. After they had breakfast, Conrad saw Fia looking at the window dully. He asked, “I’ll take you to Ms. Reid?”Fia felt very conflicted. She knew Eileen. She didn’t want to see her at a time like this.However, she did want to accompany her. She already knew that this was how things would develop after Sapphire helped with the video.Just as
“Conrad, give your cousin a call!” Fia held her phone as the words that Eileen had said echoed in her ears. She felt rattled by it.Conrad pulled the chair and sat opposite the bed, his deep eyes focused on Fia.“Our interference means nothing when it comes to this.”“Can you ask him what his plans are for Eileen after this?”There was a sense of urgency in her eyes. She had been cold toward him, and this was the first time she was begging him like this.Conrad was silent for a moment before saying, “Sure.”His relationship with Victor had always been sour since they were children. He really didn’t want to interfere if he didn’t have to.When Fia saw him dial the number, she quickly said, “Can you put it on loudspeaker?”“Sure.”The moment the call went through, Victor’s relaxed voice came. “You must be very free to give me a call, cousin. Are you calling to congratulate me?”Conrad glanced at Fia and then said to the man coldly, “Now that you’ve married Sapphire, what will h
Conrad let out a cold smile. “That’s because he doesn’t have the time. He has plenty to do since he started his own business, not to mention that he wants to keep his celebrities in line.“Right, he had to sleep with all those girls from his company too. He’s very busy!”Fia’s eyebrows almost locked together. “You shouldn’t say something like that without evidence.”“Isn’t Ms. Reid one of them?”“She’s the only one. He never had any scandals with his other celebrities.”Conrad looked at her and his tone became heavier. “I suddenly realized that all men are good in your eyes. Except me.”“…”“Fia, it’s not good to be so unfair. I’m your husband. You should be taking my side instead.”“I just don’t want Eileen to be in such a bad position. Just Sapphire alone was enough to make her suffer.”Conrad frowned and said, “I made that up. Other than Ms. Reid, he didn’t touch any of the other celebrities. However, many others wanted to offer themselves up to him on a silver platter. He
Eileen looked at him confused. “What are you up to?”“I’m just a little jealous that my cuz has been having such a wonderful life lately.” With that, Victor put his head on Eileen’s shoulder. “Should I find something to make his and your best friend’s life more exciting?”Eileen pushed his hand away and pouted.The man patted her waist and said, “Don’t worry. As long as you listen to me, I won’t harass anyone else other than you.”Outside the door, Jason frowned and mumbled, “Wait, Fia’s at the hospital.”He stared at the door. He had heard someone close the door with a slam just now.A thief?He quickly went back to the apartment and made a call.When Fia received Jason’s call, she called Eileen out of worry.The ringtone kept on playing, but Eileen couldn’t push the man away. She didn’t dare to yell at him either. Despite him looking like a gentleman, deep inside, he was crazy!He could do anything!She then said, “Fia’s quite worried about me lately and she would call me
Eileen held the doorknob tightly, trying to control her expression and be as calm as possible.“Come with me!” Victor pulled her arm. “Don’t stay here.”“Are you crazy? I can stay wherever I want! It has nothing to do with you!”“Don’t make me!” Victor gave her a dark gaze as if he would eat Eileen whole.Eileen softened as she felt her heart skip a beat. “It’s safer for me here. Once the matter between you and Ms. Starling is over, I’ll move back to my own home.”“Fine, I’ll stay with you here!” Victor pushed her in and forced his way in again.Eileen’s headache was getting so bad that she slammed her hand on the door and glared at him angrily.“What do you want?”“I should be the one asking,” Victor said coldly. “You want to seduce the man staying opposite of you?”“You’re crazy!” Eileen felt that she couldn’t communicate with him anymore and simply turned and walked toward the sofa. She sat down at the coffee table and picked up a glass of beer that was half-full.Victor w
Conrad’s attitude was clear though. “Finish your ravioli and I’ll take you there.”Fia grabbed the bowl of ravioli and stuffed its contents all into her mouth. She almost threw up.After she finished the last piece, she stared at Conrad with spirited eyes. “Can we go now? Take me there!”Conrad gritted his teeth as great disappointment grew in his heart.He hated how she worried about someone else. It made him realize that he mattered less than a friend. He was like a clown.“No.” He looked away. “Doctor Evans and Doctor Halls already said that you’re not feeling well and you need to rest. You can’t just leave like that.”“Then carry me there!” Fia couldn’t help but pinch his arm. “I can’t get through to Eileen’s phone. She wouldn’t miss my call like that without a reason.”At that moment, the door opened and Sally came in. When she realized the atmosphere was getting tense, she asked, “Mr. Maxwell, did you make her angry again?”“I didn’t. With her condition, it’s not suitable
Conrad remained silent.“What do you want to eat?” Fia suddenly asked him as she turned to him, and saw the dark expression on his face. She quickly asked, “Are you hiding something from me?”When Conrad saw how Fia looked at him with scrutiny, he raised his hand to loosen his necktie. He didn’t want to hide it from her anymore. “Ms. Reid isn’t doing that well.”Suddenly, someone barged into the ward and grabbed Conrad by the collar. “Come with me!”“What are you doing?!” Conrad pushed Victor away in disdain.Victor couldn’t care about his image anymore. “Eileen needs blood and the hospital doesn’t have enough! I remember that your blood type is O negative! Give her your blood! I can do anything for you!”Conrad frowned and looked at Victor who couldn’t hide his anxiety.“If you knew, why did you force her?”“Conrad, I don’t have time for this! Eileen can’t wait any longer! She’s already going into a coma!”Fia’s heart suddenly missed a beat as she asked, “What happened? What’
