“Why didn’t you tell me about that?” Conrad said as he held Fia’s shoulders tightly, his eyes becoming red.“Tell you what? That my cousin didn’t want to help you? That she only helped because I dragged her there? Wouldn’t that make you detest me even more?“Or you would think that I was useless because you couldn’t win, and that I told the adults to come and see you fail?”Conrad couldn’t argue with those points.“Everyone knew how stubborn you were, that you had a bad temper because of your parents, and you hated it when people would do things unfairly.”“Fia…” All the things that happened in the past began to slowly appear in his mind. It had only just dawned upon him that his understanding of Fia all came from Esme’s mouth.“And the truth was that I was a coward, pretentious person that could never suffer with you,” Fia said with a smile as her eyes were filled with tears. “Meanwhile, my cousin is perfect.”“Fia, I…” Conrad frowned deeply as he held Fia’s shoulders and didn’
“Ngh…” Conrad let out another grunt. It was as if his back had just been bludgeoned by a warhammer. It was so painful that his back was going numb.When Fia saw his brows locked together, she grabbed his neck even tighter.She asked with a saddened tone, “Why are you so stupid? How’s your back?”The bricks were so hard. He must be in a lot of pain.Conrad endured the pain and gave her a smile.Fia’s tears rolled down her cheeks. “Does it hurt?”Conrad shook his head and asked, “Fia, are you hurt?”Fia shook her head and turned to look at the pedicab that had overturned some distance away. The driver was lying on the ground, bleeding.At that moment, she viciously thought to herself that the driver should die from the fall!Why didn’t he pedal properly? Why didn’t he cherish his life more that he even dragged pedestrians down with him?Conrad took in a deep breath and held Fia by the waist, helping her up.His back was in so much pain that he swayed, and Fia had to help him u
He lowered his eyes and looked at Fia earnestly, “Really?”Fia nodded and said, “Let her see your wounds first.”Conrad had no choice but to sit down.Sally grabbed the medical kit, but when she spoke to Conrad, she was not as soft as she was with Fia. She said coldly, “Remove your shirt!”Conrad had seen quite a few doctors, but she was the least respectful toward him!“Quickly! A doctor’s time is very precious!”“Can you shut up?!” Conrad argued back and took off his shirt.Fia glanced and gasped.His back was purple, and part of his backbone was inflamed.“Tsk… This is quite serious!” Sally said.Fia could only feel guilty when she remembered that he saved her.“Doctor, he has a bad temper so don’t talk to him like that anymore.”Sally smiled at Fia and then pretended to be rough with Conrad’s injuries.“Oh, Fia. Men don’t value things that they can get easily. You can’t just let him be like this.”Fia opened her mouth but chose silence in the end.During the entire p
“Promise me that you’ll get a physical examination then!”Sally laughed. And here she thought the man was going to ask Fia to do something difficult!One hour later, Conrad took a series of test results and came to Sally.“Here are all the results. Take a look.”Sally took the results and looked behind him. “Where’s Fia?”“Asleep. She’s too tired after today.”Sally nodded. “Good. She has anemia so she gets tired easily. Have your housekeeper prepare more nutritious and iron-rich food for her.”“Does she need medicine?”“No. Medicine should be used sparingly. It’s best if she can get her nutrition from her food.”“Of course.”“And everything else… She’s fine.” Sally put the reports on the table and signaled Conrad to take them away.He took the results but didn’t move.“Any more questions?”Conrad looked away and asked, “How long must she wait before she can have a baby again?”“Take care of her. You can’t have intercourse with her at this juncture. Wait for two more mont
The door opened and Fia opened her eyes. Then, she saw Conrad’s frowning face, as if the entire world owed him something.“Something wrong with the results?”“No!” Conrad said with a frown as he looked at Fia and then told her about his call with Eileen.Looking at how angry he was, she couldn’t help but ask, “Then, why did you call her and talk to her about this?”She remembered that he didn’t like Eileen.Conrad then sat on the chair in front of her bed with his legs folded together.“Because she’s your best friend. If something happens to her, you’ll get worried. I don’t want to be bothered about that.”“Oh.” Fia consoled him as she saw him getting angrier and angrier. “There are treatments for HDN. It isn’t that serious.”“But the baby is still so small… Any disease is too much!” Conrad paused. “Doctor Hall also told me that it’s easier for the mother to get uncontrolled bleeding.”“IThat can be solved too. The doctors will prepare the blood according to the mother’s circu
“What’s going on?” His tone was as cold as the Arctic winds.“The driver’s dead!”“Which driver?”“The truck driver that ran into the madam.”“What happened?”Silas looked at Fia who sat up. “Should we speak outside, sir?”“I can’t hear about it?” Fia asked in an upset tone.Conrad patted her head and said to Silas, “Just say it.”“A few minutes ago, he suddenly jumped out of the window. He was pronounced dead on the spot.”Conrad frowned and said, “Why did no one from the hospital tell us?”“Doctor Hall, Doctor Evans, the hospital director, the police, and the forensic team had all gone to investigate this!” Silas’s expression darkened. “I believe that this is a scheme… I just don’t know what the person behind this wants.Fia then said, “Aren’t the driver’s legs hurt? How did he get up the window?”“He used a chair to climb up the window. It is quite difficult. I wonder what made him so determined.”Conrad suddenly remembered the driver’s ill son. “How’s his son doing?”
Fia held Conrad’s arm tightly with refusal all over her face.He bent over to kiss her forehead and pulled her hand away.“Don’t worry, Fia. Wait for my return.”Fia sniffed. She didn’t raise her hand to grab his sleeve as she cried.Silas took a few steps after him before Conrad roared at him. “Go back and take good care of my wife or I’ll break your leg!”“…but sir!”“You’ve worked for me for years now. You know how I am!”Silas gritted his teeth and nodded.“Silas, I don’t need you here. Find someone to get him out of there!” Fia said with a firm expression on her face.Silas hesitated and said, “Don’t worry, madam. He’ll come back in one piece.”“I don’t need you to take care of me!”“Please, madam. Don’t make this hard on me. You know how he is, right? If I go against his direct orders, he is going to fire me.”Fia’s expression turned sour. “Since when has he ever suffered something like this?! He was well-taken care of since he was little!”Silas was stunned. He real
“Ah!”The woman screamed out in pain. Conrad let go and she knelt down in front of him.It was at this time that the light was suddenly turned on and he saw who it was.“It’s you?”Esme knelt in front of him with a pitiful expression on her face.“You almost killed me just now, Conrad.”There were terrifying fingerprints around her long, pale neck.Conrad frowned and said, “I didn’t know it was you.”He looked around the room and realized that it was the same room that Fia was in before. It also had a washroom.However, why did they lock him up together with Esme?“Is there something you want to tell me?” His voice was cold.“I… I didn’t know who came in just now. I just wanted to move to the door. I didn’t know you were there either.”“You didn’t know?” Conrad looked at her in disbelief. “You didn’t know or did you deliberately get close to me?”“Conrad, how can you think that of me? I’m not that wicked,” Esme said, still kneeling on the ground as carefully grabbed Conrad
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
