But now, he was busy with the engagement with his first love. They were talking about their wedding date.She could hear the death throes from her heart. She was dying.If she died, she no longer had to face anyone or anything.‘Mom, Grandma, I’m going to meet you now.‘Can you wait for me a little bit more?’…“Move! Move, all of you!”The ambulance and the fire truck finally appeared and the people in the area were evacuated.Jason put on his mask and looked at the deformed car, not realizing who was at the back of it.As a doctor, he had to be calm.The front of the car had been damaged, and the driver was stuck inside. His organs could easily be injured from the pressure. It was very dangerous!He could die at any time! They were fighting Death itself for more time!That was why he pulled his sleeves up and was prepared to first remove the deformed, front part of the car to save the driver first together with a few firemen.Meanwhile, two other firemen were going to he
Eileen’s hurt voice echoed in the car even after she hung up.Conrad’s hands suddenly became numb as they shook.“Hello? Sir?”“Silas, where is Fia? Did you pick her up?”“You told me to pick her up at eight, right? It’s only seven right, but I’ll go now…”“Find out where she is right now!”Suddenly, there was a little thumping coming from outside. Conrad looked at the person who was knocking at his car window with angry eyes.The moment when the car window was lowered and the man encountered the pair of murderous, amber eyes, he couldn’t help but take two steps back.“Friend, the people at the back can’t drive anymore with you suddenly stopping your car in the middle of the road. Can you move to the side if you need to do something?”“Scram!” Conrad roared as he opened the door like an angry lion.He was so scary that the innocent passerby ran back to his car.… Gryphonheart Hospital.Two surgeries needed to be done at the same time. Jason removed his bloodied clothes an
Suddenly, there was a string of footsteps approaching them.Lyn turned and was shocked to see what was happening.“Eileen, so many reporters are here. We can’t stay here any longer.”Eileen turned and looked, and one of the reporters snapped a picture of her teary face.She couldn’t care less as she tightened her fists.“I can’t leave at a time like this. I want to wait until Fia comes out.”“Eileen, the boss is still discussing you with the media. The reason they’re blocking you here is so they could question you.”Eileen shook her head and said coldly, “He already announced his marriage with Sapphire. What right do they have to question me?!”“But…”Lyn still wanted to warn her, but several microphones had already been extended toward them, and so she blocked them instinctively.“I’m sorry, but Eileen is busy right now and doesn’t have the time to answer any questions. Our boss and Ms. Starling’s wedding date has already been announced. If you have any questions, please go
Eileen didn’t know what to do. Fia’s mother had passed away and no one knew who her father was. Family? Which family? The Mannings?Suddenly, Lyn’s brain ticked and asked, “Does her husband count?”“Of course! Where is he right now? Tell him to come over and sign the form!”Lyn held Eileen’s shaking hand and whispered, “Eileen, give Fia’s husband a call.”Eileen’s eyes were so red as if they were bleeding with hate pulsing in them.“He’s not worthy!” But even then, she knew it was not the time to make any sort of complaints. And so, she gave Conrad a call.“Hello?”“Get to Gryphonheart Hospital right now! The hospital needs someone from her family to sign the paperwork!”“I’m already in the elevator. I’ll be there soon!” Conrad hung up the call. When the elevator door opened, he immediately ran out only to see a group of reporters waiting outside.“Silas, get rid of all of them!”“Of course!”When the reporters saw Conrad, all of them rushed over excitedly.Silas immediatel
Sally gulped and wanted to advise Jason to wait when footsteps could be heard.The nurse who went out just now had come back with hope on her face.“Doctor Hall, her family has signed the letter!”Sally let out a sigh of relief and prepared herself. “Everyone, support Doctor Evans!”“Is… Is she going to be alright?” Conrad stared at the door with his fists tightened.Eileen looked at him angrily, “You can leave now!”“…”Conrad frowned. He was not in the mood to fight her.“Go back to your engagement ceremony! Don’t stay here and disgust Fia!”Silas quietly walked over and said, “Ms. Reid, my boss promised to get engaged with Ms. Manning out of desperation.”“Liar!” Eileen glared at Conrad with angry eyes. “Ever since Esme came back, all you’ve wanted to do is divorce Fia! You only made her stay because of the baby! Now that she has been locked up, you can divorce her openly! Everyone out there wouldn’t say that you abandoned your original wife for a homewrecker! They would o
“Oh? Does this count as anger out of embarrassment?” Victor quickly moved away, and the sneer in his eyes became even more apparent.“You have a death wish!” Conrad became a raging beast and immediately attacked him.Victor didn’t have too many hobbies, but he liked to box and trained himself physically. The two of them started fighting right in the corridor.Eileen frowned but the interest in her eyes became brighter.“They have the same blood in their veins… They’re both garbage.”Lyn wanted to say something, but she didn’t dare to say anything. She was very regretful of losing all the documents.“Should we report our loss to the police?”“After Fia’s surgery,” Eileen said after she took a deep breath. She was very anxious and she couldn’t think straight.The most important thing was for Fia to get out of the surgery theater safely. Everything else could wait.All the two cared about was attacking each other. In the end, it was Silas who pushed them apart despite the risk. H
“Are you sick in the head?!” Eileen glared at him. How could he be so insolent?!“Everyone has to die eventually. There’s nothing to it.” Victor let out a smile.“You trash!” Conrad could feel the fire that had already extinguished in his heart begin to burn again when he heard what Victor said. “How dare you curse my wife?!”He shouted and rushed over toward him.Victor frowned when he saw how he rushed over. If he were to move away, he would ram into Eileen.Eileen had accumulated quite a number of sicknesses during the past few years of acting. She would feel pain in her bones if she were hit even a little with how frail she was.That was why he didn’t move away.Bang!The fist hit Victor in the face. Conrad held his collar and pressed him against the wall.“Why do you have to curse others to die?!”“Ha, did I say a name?” Victor laughed despite being hit.Eileen could only feel herself getting a headache when she saw how carefree he was.“Silas!”“Yes, Ms. Reid?” Silas
Sally could see the fear in his eyes and she said to him gently, “Rest for a while. I’ll speak with her family.”“Sure,” Jason said as he gritted his teeth. He hated Conrad even more than ever.The surgery theater’s door opened.“Doctor Hall!” Both Conrad and Eileen walked to her.Sally gave Conrad a glance and then focused her eyes on Eileen.“The patient has been saved, but she’ll need to stay in the ICU for the time being. Once her condition stabilizes, we can then move her to a normal ward.”Eileen was stunned and asked, “Then, the baby…”That was also what Conrad wanted to ask about.“I’m sorry.”Sally took in a deep breath and remembered the pressure Jason was under during the entire surgery.“Ms. Reid, since you came to the hospital, you know what was happening at the time.“With an accident like that, no pregnant woman would be able to protect the baby inside of her. Not to mention that Fia had had multiple signs of placental abruption before this. She was already qu
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
