Fia gave it a thought as she could hear Jason’s concern in his words. As if he knew about her being kidnapped not long ago.“Thank you, Evans. I’ll pay more attention to it.” Fia paused a moment before continuing, “You knew about my kidnapping from Sally?”“Yeah. I did.” Jason didn’t mention the fact that he was the one that got to the scene of the accident and sent her to the hospital.However, at this time, there was suddenly a flash of inspiration in her mind. She listened to Jason’s voice and remembered the call that she had picked up on that day.It didn’t sound like Conrad’s voice… It sounded more like Jason’s.Was she misremembering things?“Did you give me a call that day?” She couldn’t help but ask.Jason was stunned, his eyes looking at the Maybach on the opposite side of the road. A third of the window had been rolled down, just enough for him to see her clean face.“No.”“I see,” Fia said. Fia thought that maybe she was thinking a little too much into it.Since sh
Fia nodded and took the pregnancy test kit from his hand.“Can you leave for a while? I’ll do it myself.”“Do you know how to use it?”Fia frowned. How could she not know how to use one?Last time when she discovered she was pregnant at the hospital, even she herself couldn’t believe it. She bought both strips and sticks and tried them all.Before she was pregnant, any time she missed her period, she would buy a pregnancy test kit to test it at home.But every time, it was only one red line and not two. After a few days, she would menstruate.She had never told him any of this.Just like how she had never told him about how she had been secretly in love with him for eleven years.Even if she was very fulfilled with how the two of them were right now, she still didn’t feel at peace.A human heart could change very easily. No one could know what would happen in the future.She would cherish and enjoy how well he treated her. However, she was also ready for him to abandon her a
Conrad had his eyes on her, worried that she would fall. His hands were only several centimeters away from her back at all times.Since she was walking slowly, he also followed her slowly. Going downstairs would normally take less than a minute or two, but she took about ten minutes.Once she had descended the last step, Fia heaved out a sigh of relief.“With a walking stick, I can walk much further on my own in the future,” she said softly.Mrs. Whitley looked at the husband and wife with a frown. She felt something wasn’t right with the two of them.After receiving a glance from Conrad, she took a step forward and held Fia’s hand, and took away the walking stick in her hand.“I’ll help you into the dining room, Madam.”“Thanks, Mrs. Whitley,” Fia said as she felt the affection from Mrs. Whitley. She was beginning to miss Mrs. Taylor.It would have been good if she could have a child soon.She can have Mrs. Whitley and Mrs. Taylor stay in this house to help with the cooking a
“I just want to see them from a distance. I won’t show myself.”Peter gave it a thought before touching her red lips lightly. Then, he said in a frigid voice, “I already promised you that I’ll send them to a safe place to live the rest of their lives in peace. What else do you want?”Esme couldn’t say anything.“If you don’t obey me, they’ll have to live on the streets once they’ve lost my protection.”Esme remembered how heartless Conrad was. Not only did he destroy everything the Mannings had, but her family also owed a large amount of debt. If they were found by their debtors, she couldn’t imagine what they would be forced to go through.“Fine. I won’t see them. But you have to let me know that they’re safe.”“Of course.” Peter took out his phone and clicked on a security camera app.Shown on screen was a small countryside cottage. There were all sorts of vegetables and flowers inside the garden.Esme saw how aged her parents had become. Her father was bending his back toget
“Huh?” Fia couldn’t help but stop as she looked at Sally. “What are you going to do then?”“Why are you asking me what I’m going to do about Jason’s matters?”Fia asked, “If you don’t care, you wouldn’t tell me about it, right?”Sally then said bitterly, “But my parents don’t know anyone from Jason’s family.”“Then does the Thomas family know someone from his family?”“Their mothers have been good friends for many years. That’s why they want to matchmake them.”Fia asked, “The second daughter, though? Is their eldest married?”“She was, but she’s also a divorcee. Since she’s older, she’s not a match for Jason.”“I see.”Fia said, “If you don’t want any regrets, fight for it.”Compared to that woman from the Thomas family, she felt that Sally had a better chance.Since she was also a medical practitioner, she could speak the same language as Jason did.“What do I do?” Sally asked Fia for help.“Since your mother has been to the Thomas’ as a guest, that means they know someo
A smile appeared on Fia’s face that was previously frozen from her anxiety.“Really?”“Yes.” Sally patted her shoulders as she sat by her side. “The doctor said that you need to eat your medicine on time so that your blood clot could shrink even quicker. You also need to maintain a good mood.”“Alright. I’ll remember!”“Then I’ll take you two to lunch?”“We should treat you to lunch instead,” Conrad said in a good mood, which was a rare sight. He could tell that Sally was very sincere with Fia.“That’s fine too.”When Fia was doing her ultrasound, Sally was with her in the examination room.When the screen was showing how Fia’s womb was doing, Sally’s face froze.Conrad looked at her. “What’s going on?”Sally looked at Fia who was lying in bed and tried to smile calmly. “It’s fine. Let’s continue.”She looked at the dark spots in the womb on the screen. Perhaps it was her menstruation or ovulation.”The doctor that was performing the ultrasound turned to look at her. “Is sh
Fia’s scream shocked the doctor that performed the ultrasound.She wondered if something had happened between the couple.Could it be that the miscarriage had something to do with the husband?Meanwhile, Sally could clearly see that the pain and regret in Conrad’s eyes wasn’t born from doing an evil act. His pain stemmed from being unable to protect Fia.She quickly stepped forward and said, “Fia, you’ve misunderstood him. He only apologized because he didn’t take good care of you.”Even Conrad didn’t think that an apology would make Fia believe that he would kill his own child. He quickly said, “Fia, I didn’t know about the pregnancy as well. The strip only showed one line…”“Really?” Fia looked at Conrad, her tears blurring his image in her eyes.She grabbed his arm and her nails dug into flesh. He didn’t even know that he was already bleeding.Conrad simply let her grab him, trying to explain. However, when he remembered that he didn’t insist on taking her to the hospital f
Conrad’s eyes lowered and looked at Fia’s bag. He then turned around and left.…“Why didn’t the madam come back with you, Mr. Maxwell?”When Mrs. Whitley saw Conrad come back with a darkened expression on his face, she got herself together and asked him about Fia despite her fear. She was a good girl. Innocent and humble.Conrad didn’t say anything and simply went upstairs to grab all of Fia’s medicine. Her folic acid tablets and the ones for the blood clot in her brain. She had finished her medicine once, so she had them refilled.Because it was the same medicine as before, he didn’t suspect anything. But thinking about how Fia had a miscarriage out of the blue, something must have happened.He took the medicine and was going to get them analyzed. Meanwhile, Mrs. Whitley braved herself and asked about Fia again.He looked at Mrs. Whitley. She was Silas’s mother. He could trust her.It might be possible that something went wrong when she was out grocery shopping.“Mrs. Whitle
