“Fia!”Eileen held Fia’s hand and sobbed. “You’re finally awake.”Fia quietly blinked. It was still a blur.“Where am I, Eileen?”“In the hospital. You’re hurt and have been unconscious for three days.”“Three days…”Fia tried to pluck herself from the sadness and pain from her dreams. She tried to see with wide eyes, but everything was still a blur to her.She held out her hand that Eileen was holding and waved in the air.“Eileen, where are you? I… I can’t see you.”Eileen was stunned. She looked into Fia’s beautiful eyes but noticed that they were empty… They weren't focusing.“Wait here. I’ll call the doctor!”Eileen ran out and it sounded like someone opened the door and walked inside after that.He saw the woman open her eyes and stare at the ceiling.He thought she was still angry at him and didn’t dare to approach her.“Fia… I had no choice. Compared to her escaping, your life is more important.”Fia blinked and used her hands to sit up and “look” in front.Ever
Conrad looked at her and said, “Please take good care of her.”Eileen nodded. Once he was out of the ward, she looked at Fia who was screaming until her veins popped. She bent over and hugged her.“Fia, it’s me. Eileen.”Fia’s tense body calmed down as she stopped shouting. Her tears rolled as she let out low growls like a threatened beast.Sally was going to give her a shot of tranquilizer. When she saw that she had calmed down, she then gave the tranquilizer to the nurse.“Come, let’s see your eyes.”Eileen nodded at Sally. She had just wanted to let go of Fia, but Fia caught her arm.“Eileen, please don’t leave me alone. I beg you.”Her eyes were opened wide, but they weren’t focused on anything. Fear filled them.Eileen cried as she turned to Sally, “How is she, doctor?”Sally looked at Fia quietly. She then remembered the self-report forms that she filled up. It was all normal.It looked like she was doing it intentionally. She wasn’t being honest with her.“I’ll check
When she woke up, Fia held Eileen’s hand in fear. She didn’t want anyone else other than her.Eileen was worried about her condition. She wanted to ask Sally about it but didn’t dare to leave her alone in this place.But she also couldn’t take Fia to Sally and ask Sally about it. She was worried that if Fia knew about it herself, she would become even more agitated.“Fia, can we discuss something?”“About what?” Fia looked at Eileen numbly. It was all gray. She could only try to imagine her face through her voice.“Can you stay here for a while? I’ll ask a nurse to watch over you.”“Where are you going?!” Fia was already on edge, her eyes showing how unsettled she was.Eileen quickly patted her hand and said, “I’m not leaving. I’ll buy you something nice to eat. What do you want to eat?”Fia was stunned for a few seconds. “Something cold. Something spicy.”“You can’t eat something that causes irritation for now. Let’s see. What about chocolate?”Fia shook her head.“What abo
“Hahaha! Run? Where to? How? They want to kill me because of that woman! You can’t escape too if you’re with me!”Esme laughed out in a craze. “She’s so lucky! Why didn’t that truck crush her completely?!”She had tossed Fia down the van when she saw a truck coming from the opposite direction.“Stop it and listen to me if you want to live!”Hope appeared in Esme’s eyes. “You know a way?”“But you have to promise me this. Once we’re done here, leave the country with me and never come back!” The man wished he could kill her, but as much as he hated her, he was also in love with her!Because of her, he had turned from a teacher to a vagabond. He could never ever cleanse himself again!“Fine, I promise you!” Esme held the man’s neck and kissed him deeply.As long as she could leave this place alive!One day, she would return, and she would return all the humiliation and pain she had suffered.… “Mr. Maxwell, Director Parker’s men have found Ms. Manning!”Conrad stopped as he l
All they could hear were cries as there were people playing in the river further upstream.The vehicle carrying Esme suddenly burst into flames and fell into the river.Everything happened so suddenly and quickly that Silas and Tiger were all shocked.Conrad and the others quickly ran over, with Silas following behind them.At the riverbank further away, a man in black wearing a black hat looked at Conrad who was on the bridge over River Fane.He smirked wickedly and glanced at where the truck fell before leaving without alerting anyone.“What should we do, Mr. Maxwell?”Conrad’s eyes were red. Red from fury.“Find her and bring her to me! I want her corpse even if she’s dead!”“Of course!”Conrad glared at the river's surface. Everything had happened too conveniently!Esme couldn’t have died just like that!Fia was very angry at him right now. He hadn’t taken her to Fia to explain to her yet!His fists cracked loudly as things spiraled out of control.“Oh, cuz… I never t
Even if she couldn’t see, she didn’t want him to think that she was staring at him!“It has nothing to do with you.”Eileen pursed her lips and said, “She did a brain scan. It's a brain hemorrhage. The doctor said it formed a clot and it might have pressed on some nerves.”“Don’t waste your breath on him, Eileen.”Eileen then said with mixed feelings, “She needs to rest and can’t take any more provocations. Please speak to her gently.”“Tell him to leave!” Fia said stubbornly.Eileen then looked at Conrad and begged, “Please go for now.”Conrad really wanted to hug Fia, but when he saw how cold her expression was, he listened to what Eileen had to say and didn’t do anything else.But he didn’t leave. He intentionally walked away but stopped when he was at the doorway.He wanted to protect her.“You leave too.” Eileen stared at Victor.“I didn’t do anything to hurt her. Why should I leave?” Victor sat on the chair.Eileen had just wanted to yell at him when Fia asked, “Is wh
“Oh, speaking of which, do you still want a divorce?” Victor let out a snicker and continued. “Betrayed during your marriage, getting so many injuries, you lost your child and your health. Don’t tell me that you still don’t want a divorce?”Victor ignored Eileen’s angry eyes and said, “If you still don’t want a divorce after all of this, then you deserve this.”Fia’s body trembled as her eyes began to show nothing but sorrow.True… She deserved it all.She knew that he didn’t love her, yet she wanted to marry him anyway.“Can you stop, Victor?!” Eileen looked at Fia worryingly. “Don’t listen to him. He never worked well with Conrad, so he wants to provoke you to divorce so he could feel better!”“No… He’s right. I deserve all of this.”To Fia, what Victor said was really cruel.He showed her the truth that she never wanted to see.Conrad couldn’t just watch anymore and said, “Victor, just give up if all you want is to watch us suffer! I don’t have an ex-wife, only a dead wife!
Victor had not married yet, but Eileen’s reputation was already endangered because of her relationship with him. Had they been outed after his marriage, she would be blamed for being a homewrecker for knowing fully well that he was already married.That would completely ruin her!She couldn’t make Eileen end up like her!“I can help,” Conrad said in a deep tone and his eyes grew darker.Esme was missing so he couldn’t prove his innocence.He needed to find a way to make her stay with him! And Eileen’s predicament was a very good opening.Fia was stunned as she let go of him with her hands shaking. She sat down on the bed and grabbed the fabric of her pants tightly.Her eyes were staring right into the air as she scoffed.“Does it come with a condition?”“Yes.”“Alright. I’ll agree to it.”Conrad looked at her in shock. She didn’t ask what the condition was and simply agreed to it.“As long as you can help Eileen leave Victor and let her go free, I’m willing to do anything y
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
