The drumming of the rain filled Fia’s ears. The voice that suddenly came made her eyes tremble.She looked at the man in the white shirt. Her vision was still blurred as she smiled.“You’re here, Conrad?”Jason was stunned as he choked. He didn’t correct her.He carefully picked her up and put her into the back seat. He glanced at the car that was flipped over and called 911 for an ambulance and the police.“Look, sir! That’s Doctor Evans’ car!”Conrad turned around and saw a black Bentley. He had one as well.However, after he noticed that Jason drove the same car as he did, he abandoned the black Bentley in the garage.“Sir, why is he here in the countryside? Is he related to why the madam is here?” Silas asked.Conrad looked at his phone, and the GPS signal was not moving.“Forget about him!”In a few minutes, they arrived at the scene of the accident. Conrad and Silas ran toward it once they got out of the car.They only saw the driver laying on the steering wheel with
Half an hour had passed and the door to the examination room finally opened. When the director saw Conrad waiting at the door, he looked around instinctively but didn’t see Jason.“How’s my wife?!” Conrad broke the director’s search.“Doctor Hall can explain it to you. I have something else to attend to.” The director didn’t like Conrad that much. He was worried that Conrad had harassed Jason again.“You!”“Mr. Maxwell.” Sally quickly walked out of the room. “Don’t worry. Fia doesn’t have any serious injuries from this car accident. There are no internal injuries or bone cracks. At most, there are a few bruises and cuts from the broken glass.”“I want to see her!” Conrad pushed Sally away and walked in.A doctor and a nurse were bandaging Fia’s wounds.Her shirt had been removed and she was lying on her stomach on the hospital bed, her back completely red and there were still some glass fragments on her back.The nurse was retrieving those glass fragments when her hand trembled
“Why did she say good luck?” Conrad asked curiously.Fia narrowed her eyes as she smiled, not letting Conrad know that she had regained some of her vision.She said, “Maybe because she saw that you’re treating me especially well now, not like in the past when you kept on hurting me.”“If I can wind back time, I’d never ask for a divorce.”Once they were at the ward, Fia lay there with a frown.Thanks to the medicine on her back, she was in pain.Her hands grabbed at the bed sheet, but she didn’t cry out.Conrad looked at her and remembered Jason.He wanted to explain to Fia that the person that got to her was Jason, not him.But he was afraid. He was afraid that if he said that, Fia would be even more regretful toward Jason.He kept on reading articles from some of the so-called dating experts on the web. He saw something that went along the lines of “Guilt and regret, after a long time, can become love”.He was afraid that her guilt toward Jason would become love, and she w
“How did you know that I was playing with your phone?”Fia blinked and lied, mumbling, “I heard Silas give you my phone.”Silas was confused. “I didn’t say anything of the sort?”“Is that so? Then you must have forgotten about it. Silas, you must be working very hard to the point of forgetfulness.”Silas scratched his head, still confused.He had forgotten?Conrad looked at Fia suspiciously. He felt that something wasn’t right. But looking at her calm expression, nothing felt out of place.Meanwhile, Fia was complaining inside. ‘You used my phone for so long. Even though I have severe myopia, I definitely didn’t see it wrongly!”“Where’s my phone?” She extended her hand.Conrad immediately placed the phone on her palm.She held it and snorted. “And you said that you didn’t use my phone… It’s all hot right now!”Conrad scratched his nose. He miscalculated.“Now. Be honest. What did you do to my phone?”Silas looked at Conrad pitifully before interrupting, saying, “Mr. Maxwe
“It hurts!”“You know that it hurts too?” But Peter didn’t stop after that. Instead, he exerted more force to crush Esme’s leg.“This is my last warning. If you start any trouble and provoke anyone again, I’ll personally send you to Conrad Maxwell!”He moved his foot away and then squatted down, holding her red face. “Also, take good care of your face. If you drink any more wine, you’ll definitely fail your plastic surgery and your face will end up destroyed!”Esme’s chest tightened and she grabbed Peter’s wrist.“Don’t you like me? Love me?”Peter’s eyes narrowed and looked at her quietly.“I’m curious. You love me so much… Why must you change my face to someone else’s?”“That’s because…” He swallowed. “Changing that face of yours can save your life!”He held her chin tightly. “Now, calm yourself down. If you go crazy again, I’ll abandon you too!”With that, he bent over and bit her red lips until it bled.The only reason that he chose Britney to be her scapegoat was becaus
The reason she didn’t tell him that her vision had improved was so that she could give him a surprise when her sight got completely restored.Lips and lips touched. He held her face and slowly opened her lips.He growled. “Is this much better?”Fia felt something explode in her mind. She was embarrassed, but she felt sweet as well.It was the first time that he kissed her like this after their marriage.It made her feel cherished.Conrad’s hand slipped to the back of her head as he gently held her, and he also kissed her softly, as if wanting to heal all the wounds inside her heart.A long time passed before Fia eventually pushed him away as she felt it was getting harder to breathe.“Still tastes bland, Fia?”She touched her slightly plump lips. “I don’t know what you’re saying.”“Want more practice?” Conrad joked.“You… Why are you so lecherous all of a sudden?” Fia said with a face red from embarrassment.Conrad chuckled. “Then, do you still want to eat something spicy?”
Annie lowered her eyes. There was disgust in them.She didn’t want to come at all!Ever since she knew that this blind woman was Mr. Maxwell’s wife, her torment never ended!She was only making it worse for herself by coming over and seeing him take such good care of the woman in front of her.And to think that Fia was her uncle’s daughter and that they both had the same blood flowing within their veins… She felt uncomfortable just thinking about it!She could take it if she was a beautiful, healthy, and graceful lady! But, she was just a blind woman. How could she be worthy of him?Realizing how despicable her thoughts had become, Annie looked up nervously, worried that people would see what she was thinking.Luckily, that woman was blind. Mr. Maxwell wasn’t paying attention to her either.“Have some water, Fia.” Conrad held a glass of water and put the straw in before holding it close to Fia’s mouth.When Annie saw that, the envy within her grew even stronger!A great man l
She suddenly didn’t want to play along with her anymore and asked, “Other than visiting me, who else are you visiting?”Annie couldn’t answer the question.“For example, were you thinking of visiting my husband? To see how he was taking care of me? A blind woman?” Fia’s tone was still very gentle and relaxed. No one could hear what she was feeling at the time.Annie frowned, as she couldn’t handle Fia’s tone. “I don’t know what you’re saying!”“You don’t understand my words?” Fia said, her tone slightly icier. “No matter if this is Director Parker’s or your idea, you have an aim yourself, don’t you?”Annie took a deep breath.“Yes, my father has his own goal! He wants you to return to the household since you have no one else. The Parkers can protect you!”“Ha…” Fia chuckled. She found it laughable.“As for my own goals… Fine. I have nothing to hide. I admit that my first impression of Mr. Maxwell is very good! Since he’s a very good man! But the reason that I went to Maxwell Co
