“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
