“Fia,” Conrad muttered as he held her cold hand.His amber eyes slowly turned red.In that instant, he could empathize with her sorrow and despair.When he saw how Fia was unable to wake up from her nightmare, he lied on the bed and used his strong arms to keep her close to him. He then rubbed her back.“It’s just a dream, Fia. It’s okay. Everything will pass. We’ll get our baby back.” His tone was calm and gentle and he continued to whisper in her ears again and again.Slowly, Fia calmed down as she fell into a deep sleep.When Fia woke up, she saw an Adam's apple. She was stunned.“You’re awake?” the man asked her.Fia wanted to push him away and get out of his arms, but the hospital bed was not wide enough and she almost fell off the bed.“Careful!” Conrad pulled her back in with a serious expression on his face. “What if you fall?”Fia looked at him, confused. She then asked, “Why are you on my bed?”Conrad stared at her for two seconds. He didn’t want to tell her the tr
“Down!”“Fine,” Conrad said as he massaged his face and got down the bed.Fia sighed in relief. She was upset, but his good attitude could easily make her change her opinion.She didn’t want to be easily manipulated by him anymore.“About that…” Conrad took out something from the drawer, his face red, and his eyes shifted to Fia’s stomach. “It’s almost time to change your pad.”Fia’s heart which was beating erratically just a moment ago started beating faster again, and her whole face turned red.She grabbed her thin blanket and stared at Conrad with suspicious eyes.“Who told you that?!”“Doctor Hall told me about it.”“She’s really…” Fia didn’t even know where to start.She knew that Sally was doing it for her benefit since Conrad was her husband and he should be taking full care of her.However, her relationship with Conrad was different from that of a common husband and wife. She didn’t dare to make him take care of her.“I’ll take you there.” Conrad didn’t wait for her
Glad, Conrad turned around and looked at Fia.When the sunlight bathed him through the window, it was like he had on a gold armor. Fia was mesmerized by the view.“I know you’re worried about me, Fia.”Conrad went back to her bedside and held her hand.“You care about me, right?”His heart jumped excitedly, joyfully.He didn’t know why. He didn’t have this kind of feeling when he was dating Esme.Fia looked at the joy in his eyes with confusion. She was first shocked and then she felt upset.She said coldly, “I knew it. Humans can’t feel joy and sorrow at the same time.“The baby may have been inside of me, the baby is also yours. Why aren’t you saddened by it at all?”Conrad was taken aback, but still, he held Fia’s hand tightly as he bent down and looked into her eyes.“It’s not that I’m not sad. I’m simply worried. If I drown in my sorrows too, what will you do?”Fia frowned. She couldn’t tell if he was telling the truth.“Fia, we men might be more logical and can’t be
The assassin came and went. With the support of her team, Fia managed to get a Penta Kill.The opposing team was slain!At this time, her team members began to complain.Fia couldn’t help but roll her eyes.She was an assassin, not a Tank that was supposed to go into the fray!She then continued to attack, earning her multiple Quad Kills and Penta Kills.‘Darn it!’ Fia cursed as she quickly replied to her teammates while she stopped in the jungle area.Conrad was shocked. He didn’t see what happened.But to think that he could see her eyes filled with fire when she was just playing a game…He got up and stood close to the bedside table, looking at her phone.Fia was getting angry so she didn’t notice him.Her fingers quickly typed a row of words.’t steal any k
Conrad looked at Fia who was lying on her side, before focusing on playing the game for her.Gaming was not difficult. What was difficult was using his brain.Someone as smart as him wouldn’t find the controls difficult.He first tried attacking some creeps just as a test. After that, he quickly proceeded into the central pathway and killed the opposing team’s assassin and support.When he was at half-life, he would quickly retreat into the jungle, kill a creep or two to recover his health, and then go for a triple kill!The opposing team was destroyed!The four newbies all cried out to attack!When the opposing team saw their tower topple, they were so angry that they almost threw their phones away.When Conrad went back to the game’s main menu, he looked at her username and then checked her bond in the game settings.When he saw that she was already bonded with someone, the name made him go cold.“Who’s this Lovefia?”“Huh?” Fia was stunned. “Oh, you mean the player that I
“I wouldn’t have married you when I was around eighteen and become the madam of the Maxwells. While I’m the object of envy to all the young women in Gryphon, I… am cheapened.”She cracked a smile, trying to find joy in her pain. “Forget about everything else. Just the accusation your mother hurled at me and all the medicine she forced me to take… No normal girl could take it all.”“I’m sorry. I didn’t know.”“True. You didn’t know and I didn’t tell you. You would leave early and come back late. You were busy managing your business empire. You don’t know anything!”Conrad had no words. That was his negligence. He owed her.“Conrad… Have you ever thought about something? Why do I have to cheapen myself so?”There were tears in Fia’s eyes. She blinked, trying not to cry.“This is not a society where a woman has to depend on a man or her husband to survive. I have the skills to flourish in my favorite career. Even if I can't earn a lot, I can at least support myself.”At the end of
Fia’s heart skipped a beat. His words were very cold, like an emotionless machine.“Yes.”Conrad tightened his fist and said, “Fine. We can finish the paperwork once we’re out of the hospital.“I hope you can promise me one thing while we’re in the hospital.”“What is it?” Fia’s heart tightened as she became defensive.“We’re still married. Can we still live as husband and wife during this time?”Fia’s chest felt stuffy. She didn’t know why he would make such a request.“This is…” He paused. “For our baby that had passed away. If the baby could still see us and how alienated we are, the baby wouldn’t be able to leave in peace.”“Sure.” Fia sniffed as tears rolled down her cheeks.True. She shouldn’t let the child worry about her.It was just one week. It was just until she was discharged. It shouldn’t be that hard.Conrad gulped and asked, “Do you have something you want to eat? I’ll buy some for you.”“I want to have some milk tea.”Conrad didn’t say anything and agreed t
Her brain exploded.What was he doing?“Hm… This isn’t half bad,” Conrad said as he straightened his back. He looked at the cup of milk tea with a smile.“This is mine!” Fia said as she grabbed the milk tea and stared at him. She then immediately bit the straw and gave it a few sips.However, a few seconds later, she realized something was wrong.She looked down. Her straw was new and still not bent as the one that she drank from was Conrad’s.When she remembered his germophobia, she moved the straw that she didn’t use toward him.“I didn’t use this one. You can eat it.”Conrad chuckled. “Fia, I don’t eat straws.”It was a mistake… She was sure that he knew it was a mistake.“Fia, I do mind that we’re using the same straw.”Fia felt her heart suddenly heat up.“I like to eat…”“Don’t disturb me while I’m drinking my milk tea!” She yelled at him to stop him. She was worried that if she let him continue, he would say things that he shouldn’t!Conrad helplessly smirked as he
