“Calm down. Esme is already suffering like this, and we’ll need more money to treat her. If something happens to the company at this juncture, how are we going to survive?!”

The door to the ward was still open. Fia listened to her aunt and uncle’s argument as they walked further and further away. She then glared at Conrad coldly.

“Looks like my husband has been quite generous lately and gave my uncle’s company some more projects?”

Conrad’s expression froze. “I promised to give Grandmother Thea’s project to Esme before. I didn’t do what I said, so I’m simply reimbursing them.”

“A good explanation. But you need to be clear about something. My grandma owns that project and she gave it to me. You don’t owe the Mannings anything!”

Fia looked at him with her eyes getting even colder as she slightly raised her chin. “Or maybe you’re still thinking of her?”

Conrad became extremely irritated. “Why are you splitting hairs about that?”

“So I did that too late and you got used to it?”

“…”

    Jason avoided the topic and lifted her bangs.“The injury is almost healed. It’s almost time to remove the suture. Just wait for me here. I’ll go get the tools.”Fia nodded and waited in silence. She looked at her surroundings and suddenly felt suffocated with the atmosphere.When Jason came back, he pushed in a cart with a milk lollipop and gave it to Fia.“I’m not a child anymore.” Fia smiled helplessly.“It’s not sweet and is enriched with calcium. Just right for you.”“Thanks,” Fia said as she removed the packaging and put it in her mouth.Jason quickly removed the suture on her forehead, applied some cream, and then covered it with a bandaid.“You won’t even need the bandaid in two more days. All you need is a scar-removal cream.”He then took out a cream that was manufactured overseas and said, “This is especially good for removing scars. It’s suitable for pregnant women too.”“Thanks.” Fia accepted it. She then asked, “When can I get discharged?”Jason frowned and sai

    “It doesn’t matter what you believe. Give the picture in your phone to the police then. They can do with me however they see fit.”“You…” Conrad took in a deep breath and said. “Just stay in the hospital and I won’t let you go to jail.”Fia chuckled. “Yes, you won’t let me go to prison. Not because you believe me, but because you’re worried that I’ll bring disgrace to you.”“…”“It should be very easy for you to divorce me now.” She gave him a wink and a smile as if the divorce was a ticket to freedom for her.Conrad could feel himself choking again before saying, “I won’t get a divorce.”“Then forget about getting together with her!”“I told you a lot of times that I…”“Excuse me!” A calm and severe tone broke their fight.Two police officers came in and said, “We have received evidence of Mrs. Maxwell hiring hitmen. Please come with us, Mrs. Maxwell.”“What evidence?” Conrad asked coldly.The other officer said, “Proof that Mrs. Maxwell had used an anonymous overseas accou

    “Please don’t stop us anymore. Otherwise, we can sue you for obstruction of justice!”“Doctor, please just wait for the investigation’s results.”One of the police stopped Jason from approaching while the other pushed Fia into the elevator.Jason looked at the fragile Fia as his eyes became red.“Don’t be afraid, Fia. I’ll find the evidence to clear you of the crimes!”Fia smiled. “I’m not afraid. Don’t worry about me. I believe that justice will prevail in the end.” There was pain in his eyes… Because he didn’t believe that!“I’ll visit you soon. Don’t let your imagination run wild. Maintain your high spirits.”“Sure.”The elevator door closed. She maintained that smile even until the end. She didn’t want anyone else to feel anxious for her, so the last thing she could give them was her smile.When Jason went back to his office, he immediately closed the door and made a call.“I want you to help me with something!”The other person was silent for a few seconds and said, “

    “Enough talk. Ask the questions!”Priscilla took a deep breath. “Fine. Where were you last night at eight-thirty in the evening?”“At the hospital. I didn’t leave the hospital at all. The doctors and nurses can prove this.”“Who have you spoken to?”“Can’t you just check my call history?”“Of course, we can, but we’re hoping that you will admit to things on your own.”Fia smiled coldly and answered everything.Within the one hour of questioning, Fia answered everything she was asked. She didn’t hesitate and didn’t lie. She cooperated fully with her.After the questioning was done, Priscilla closed her notebook and looked at Fia, confused.“So, you admit that you hired those criminals?”“I simply transferred money to them. I didn’t tell them to touch Esme at all.”“Who can prove this?”“There’s a record of the conversation on my phone.”Something appeared in Priscilla’s eyes as she stood up and said, “Fine. I’ll come back once I check the audio recording.”Fia didn’t say a

    Fia looked at the small window on the wall above her. No wonder she was so hungry. The sky had already darkened.That Priscilla Manning was obviously hostile toward her. She wondered if anyone would send her any food.Perhaps she would say that she had already eaten?That meant she would have to go hungry today!No! She couldn’t wait like a fool and went hungry. The baby wouldn’t be able to survive for long.She tried to open the door and noticed that she couldn’t. All she could do was bang on it.It was already evening. A lot of the officers had gone for dinner while those who were on duty were in front of the station. No one paid any attention to her.She hit at the door till she slid down and sat on the floor. She was so hungry that she had no more strength.“A pregnant woman is so useless,” she said as she touched her stomach. “I’m sorry, my baby. Mommy is so useless.”She sat by the door when she heard footsteps coming from outside. She happily stood up and the door was o

    “The reason I became friends with you is because I like you as a person, not because of your family background.”When Jason heard the word “friend” in her mouth, Jason’s heart turned cold.What he wanted was, in the end, just his own desire.“Fia, this friend of yours won’t disappoint you.”“I believe you! You’re a very good person!” Fia cracked a smile. “A very good big brother.”Jason’s eyes shifted for a while and nodded. “Rest well, then. You can’t stay here for long. I’ll visit you again tomorrow.”“Sure.”After Jason left, he looked at the officer that was on duty and told him that Fia hadn’t eaten.Just then, Priscilla came back, her takeaway from the restaurant in hand. When she heard them talking, she ran over.“I’m so sorry, sir. I’ll bring the food over now. I got caught in a bad traffic jam.”A shadow hung over Jason’s handsome face.“Are you the one watching over Fia?”“Yes.” Priscilla looked at Jason timidly. He was tall and handsome, no worse than Conrad Maxw

    “Know your place!”Priscilla could feel her chest thumping and she instantly dragged Fia by the hair, wanting to drag her down from the bed!Suddenly, there was a loud bang from behind her. “What are you doing?!”A raging flame burst forth toward Priscilla and she let go in fear, but she was already kicked away by the man and was slammed into the wall.“How dare you commit police brutality to my wife!” Conrad tightened his fists, wishing that he could shred Priscilla into pieces.If he didn’t suddenly come back after leaving, he would never have seen this.Since Fia was still angry at him, she would never tell him.Priscilla massaged the spot where she was kicked in her chest, and the anger on her face disappeared when she saw who it was.“Con… Conrad?!”Conrad didn’t even give her a look and simply looked at Fia.“How are you feeling? Are you hurt somewhere?”Fia was really feeling sleepy. She only wanted to go to sleep. But after Priscilla pulled her hair, she was in so mu

    “I’m only going to say it once. If anything happens to my wife while she’s here, you and your daughter won’t be here for long!”He left after that brutal warning.When Assistant Director Manning came back to his senses, he gave Priscilla’s head a poke.“Did you make some business transaction with your uncle?”Priscilla shook her head pitifully and said, “No, I didn’t.”“You heard him just now. Take good care of his wife. If something happens to her, I won’t be able to protect my own office!”“I know.”“You’re on the graveyard shift for the time being. Go and take a look if anything happens. Nothing can happen to her here!”After Priscilla sent her dad away, there was a malicious glint in her eyes.She simply had to make sure that she was safe here. She didn’t have to worry about it once she was out.Not to mention that she had deleted the audio recording. She was worried Fia would tell Conrad about it just now, but she didn’t.It seemed like Conrad didn’t care that much abou

    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
