“Come on, open your mouth. There are no bones. I made sure of it.”“Alright.” Fia opened her mouth and ate the fish. “Not bad. It’s delicious.”“Then eat more.”Mrs. Taylor was reminded of how Fia had been yelled at and cursed by Beryl multiple times after she married Conrad. She was even forced to eat medicine and go through physical therapies to get pregnant.That woman from the Manning household was even more arrogant.Conrad was a fool too, harming someone naïve and kind like Fia again and again for Esme.And now, she had lost their child and her sight. How was she going to live now?!“Have some more, madam.” Mrs. Taylor’s lips trembled slightly as she held back her tears, worried that it would affect Fia.After she fed Fia, she quickly cleaned up the containers.“Ms. Reid, please accompany our madam. I’ll take my leave now.”“Alright, sure.” Eileen first soaked the tissue in water before wiping Fia’s mouth. Once she had cleaned her, she took another and wiped her own mou
After finishing the battery of tests, Fia had a headache and her body was in pain.When Conrad saw that she wasn’t feeling well, he immediately brought her back to the ward and let Eileen accompany her while he went to look for Sally with the results.“Doctor, this is Fia’s results.”Sally raised her head and glanced at him before taking the results.“Where’s Fia?”“She’s feeling a bit tired after the tests so I asked her to return to the ward first.”Sally nodded and read the results sincerely.After finishing it all, she said, “She’s recovering well.”“What do you mean?”“Her slight anemia is gone and her blood has returned to normal.”Conrad sighed. “What about the other things?”Sally raised her head and looked at him.“Her womb is also recovering very well. If you’re still in a good relationship, you can prepare to have another baby.”There was silence in the air.“That’s a big if.” Sally’s eyes became cold.Conrad frowned and thought about his relationship with Fia
“Doctor Sally is a good doctor. If you’re feeling unwell, whether physically or mentally, look for her.”“Sure, alright.”“Okay, I’m leaving.”After Jason left, Conrad went to work on the discharge papers while Eileen cleaned up.Fia fell into deep thought.When she remembered his final advice for her, she knew that he could see through her heart.She didn’t tell anyone, not even Sally.While she wasn’t dreaming about that child every night anymore like when it had just happened, she would still dream about the baby.Every time she dreamed about the baby, her heart would empty, and sorrow would take over.Although she didn’t die during the car crash, losing her baby felt like she had lost half her life.She couldn’t keep on thinking about it, so she suppressed her feelings.And now, she became blind after Esme pushed her from the van.She was very scared, to be honest. In her world, there were no people, no light, only silence.Other than the moment she lost control when s
“You cursed me?” Finn was instantly enraged. “You should feel lucky that you married Fia, but you didn’t cherish her! And now, you came here to check on another woman’s body?”“I don’t have time for this!” Conrad turned around and left. His brain was full of crap, so he couldn’t speak to him at all.“Why did you come to the autopsy department, sir?” Silas walked over from the other direction. He had gotten a tan from trying to find the bodies for the past few days.Conrad asked as he headed out, “Have you checked if that body belonged to Esme?”“Yes, it’s hers. I kept an eye on the coroner.”“Did the truck really explode on its own? Not because of some other reason?”Silas looked at him weirdly. “Why are you asking that?”No matter how the car exploded, he believed that someone as vicious as Esme got what she deserved! He was cool with it!Could it be that his boss believed that someone had killed her and he wanted to avenge her?Conrad stopped and looked at Silas in disgust.
Silas looked at him in shock.“Silas Whitley.” Conrad saw the lingering pity in his eyes as he stopped. He held his shoulder firmly.“This is an extermination. We must be thorough!”Silas lowered his head and said, “Understood.”“Assist them with Esme’s funeral.” That would be the last thing he would do for the Mannings.“Of course.”… Mansion at the foot of a mountain.A woman’s wail could be heard from the living room.“Why?! Why is he treating the Mannings like this?! I’m already dead! Why can’t he spare us?!”The feminine man in a pair of wooden clogs slowly walked toward the woman sitting on the floor. The tapping sound from under his feet followed as he said, “I told you. After you betrayed him, he wouldn’t treat you like he did in the past.”The woman’s tears couldn’t stop as she shook her head and knelt before the man, and she grabbed his wide pants.“Mr. Green, I beg you… Help me, please.”The man knelt and held the woman’s chin, forcing her to raise her head.H
“What time is it now, Eileen?”“12 in the afternoon.”Fia smiled bitterly. “He didn’t come home for lunch. He must be there to see her.”“Don’t think too much, Fia.”“He must be quite sad too. He probably won’t be back today.”Fia stroked the designs on the table with her hand. “Eileen, if you have time, submit my designs for me.”Eileen took a step forward and glanced. “Didn’t you say that you wanted to save these designs for an elegant themed fashion collection in the future?”“Forget about it. I can’t see now and I can’t make any more designs. Rather than saving a few designs that would never form a collection, I prefer to offer them away.”“Alright. I’ll check which companies accept such designs.” Eileen paused before saying, “Right, do you want to ask Conrad? His company is so big, they probably accept all kinds of designs.”Fia shook her head and said, “His company’s designs all revolve around wealth and elegance. They wouldn’t promote such designs. It’s a waste of time
This was a new account that he had just created today. It was primarily used for business-related matters.Only a few high-level managers in his company knew about it.Eileen sat there and looked at Fia who was touching her own design and quickly typed.Fia’s face appeared in Jason’s mind and he replied, Eileen bit her lips and typed, “Fia, let me snap a few photos of your designs. I’ll send them to a few companies and let them have a look.”“Sure,” Fia said as she pushed the designs toward Eileen.Eileen glanced at her guiltily and quickly snapped the photos and sent them to Jason.When Jason saw the designs, he replied very quickly.
“Madam, Ms. Reid, time for lunch.”Mrs. Taylor came up and called out to them. It had been Master Maxwell who would usually tell them that it was time for lunch for the past few days, but he was away today.Eileen led Fia down the stairs and took her seat at the dinner table. Fia asked while pretending not to care, “Mrs. Taylor, did he call saying that he’ll come back for lunch?”Mrs. Taylor choked. She wanted to be honest but worried that it would hurt her.“Maybe there’s too much work in the company today and he was delayed.”“True, he must be quite busy!” Eileen agreed.“No matter how busy he is, would he miss lunch?” Fia asked coldly as she tried to find the spoon and hold it.For the past two days, she could already drink soup on her own.She believed that she would be able to eat and walk on her own before long.Only then would Eileen stop missing her when she had to leave.Mrs. Taylor walked out of the dining room and then saw Conrad who walked in quickly. She was over
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
