Chapter 548

Author: Stellar Strands
Annie tried her best to suppress the uneasiness that was boiling in her heart. This man was so cold and cruel.

When she thought about how gentle and warm he was when he looked after Fia, and compared that to how he treated her, Annie could not help but to feel an intense dread.

As she tried to calm down, Annie said, “I am here to apologize on behalf of my uncle.”

She put on a hurt look.

“My uncle has been troubling Maxwell Corporation because Fia does not want to come home. It was unfair of him to do that to you. But, Mr. Maxwell! If you could convince Fia to come home, to call my uncle her dad, he would not cause any trouble any more.”

Conrad looked at Annie as though he was looking at a clown. “So, you think I’m a man who would sell off his wife for profit?”

“No, no!” Annie waved her hand nervously. “I just don’t want you to endure so many unnecessary problems that could be easily avoided.

“If… If Fia knew, she would also not want to cause you this much trouble.”

Conrad smirk

    After a few rings, the call was answered but there was no sound from the other side. Annie looked at Britney worriedly.Britney mouthed “Good luck” and gave her a thumb’s up.“Fia… I know you don’t have any feelings toward us, the Parkers. But Mr. Maxwell is innocent. Uncle’s Parker Group is a very huge and resourceful goliath in the business world. If my uncle keeps on bothering Maxwell Corporation like this…”“Fine.” Fia interrupted Annie halfway. She did not think this little witch was talking out of kindness.Well, sure, perhaps she was. But that kindness was for her husband, not for her. And that kindness came with a price, with her taking her place as his wife.After hanging up, Fia hesitated. She could not decide if she should go and face Conall Parker.She had no intention of calling that man her father. Yet, there was no way she could allow him to attack her husband like that.After lunch, Fia said to Mrs. Whitley, who was cleaning up the table, “Mrs. Whitley, could you

    “My child, that’s because you don’t know her completely. She’s just worried that you wouldn’t accept me if she had just dropped the truth about your birth on you all of a sudden.”Conall looked at Fia earnestly and continued on, “When she was dying, she made a phone call to your uncles. She asked them to tell you about me after she’s gone.”“Liar!” A crack seemed to have appeared on Fia’s cold and stern face.Conall said sadly, “I know it’s difficult to believe this. Much has happened since then. Here’s a letter from your mother. She left it with your Uncle Wallace before she died.”Conall took out a letter from his jacket. “Your Uncle Wallace did not give it to you the first chance he got because he wanted you to spend some time to process your mother’s passing. Now that I’ve come to find you, Wallace decided to hand it to me instead.”“Liar!” Fia repeated her rejection again. This time, however, her resolute determination to reject this man was slowly wavering.Before her mom p

    Fia did not understand. The man had not shown up in her life for so many years. There was no connection between them whatsoever.But why? Why did he save her like how he did?“Mr. Maxwell, her head was hurt from the fall. Yet, she insisted on staying here, not wanting to see a doctor. Please, sir. You should bring her for treatment.”Seeing that the surgery was still ongoing, Conrad ordered Silas to stay there as he carried Fia to a doctor.Along the way, Fia fit herself tightly in his embrace, completely dazed with confusion from what had happened.“Why… Why did he save me... I said so many hurtful things to him. Yet… why…?”Conrad could not help feeling sorry for her. He hugged her tighter and kissed the tears off her eyes.“Because you are a girl who is worth dying for.”Fia, upon hearing this, began to sob on his chest. Then, from sobbing, she began to weep and wail loudly.“Fia…”Conrad did not know how to comfort her. Suddenly, there was no sound from her. Conrad qui

    A few minutes after Silas left, someone knocked on the door again.Conrad, upon hearing this, responded calmly, “Come in.”The tall and muscular visitor had a conflicted expression on his face.“Fia, are you not going to pay him a visit?”It was Finn.Fia, still tightly in Conrad’s embrace, bit her lips. Given the circumstances, she could not show animosity toward the Parkers.Conrad lightly tapped her back. “We are thankful for Mr. Parker’s noble act in saving my wife’s life. I’ll personally visit him to extend our gratitude.” Finn sighed. “Fia, I know you’ve lived with your mother your whole life, and now you want nothing to do with us. But please understand that we earnestly want the best for you.”Fia grabbed Conrad’s waist tighter, not wanting to face Finn.Conrad looked toward Finn and answered on her behalf, “She needs rest.”Finn nodded. “Of course. Fia, don’t feel too pressured about it. We’ve gotten the best physicians flying over from Lumenpolis. Your father will

    Sure enough, after a while, there were people attempting to pay Fia a visit. They were Sally, Jason, Annie, Barbara, and Britney. However, their request for a visit was rejected by the bodyguards.Being the professional physician that she was, Sally explained to everyone, “Fia’s emotionally unstable at the moment. Too much has happened lately, so it’s only natural for her to want to have some peace of mind. Let’s let her be for now, shall we?”Conrad heard someone talking outside of the private ward. And judging from the footsteps, there were a lot of people too. He had only just soothed Fia to sleep a few minutes ago. So, he got up to get the door. He needed to send them away so his wife could get a good rest.Seeing that the door was opened, Sally quickly took a peek into the ward. Conrad closed the door behind him, glaring at the people who were walking away, “Did you call them over?”“No, I didn’t.” Sally shook her head with a puzzled face. Come on now, she had many patient

    Conrad knew that she hesitated because of her silence.He put a hand behind her back and stroked, trying to find an excuse for her.“Let’s not be so hasty. I’m not sure either, so let’s wait here for another two days?”She nodded and buried herself in his arms.Conrad put her back in bed, pulled her blanket carefully, and stared into her eyes.Their eyes didn’t meet and Fia simply closed her eyes.Conrad stared at her as he became even more suspicious.Fia then said, “Let me sleep.”“Wait, I’ll apply some medicine first.”Conrad carefully moved her hair away with the medicine in hand and saw her gently trembling eyes.After looking at her for two seconds, he sprayed the medicine on her head.“Alright. Sleep.”“Alright.” She placed her hands on the blanket, her face beautiful but cold.Despite being at the age where she was supposed to be full of vigor, she looked so depressed.Conrad couldn’t help holding her two hands with his.“If you’re worried that you’ll get disturb

    That was why she didn’t tell Conrad about it in her sadness.“I’m sorry.” Conrad bent down and pulled her and the blanket into his arms. “It’s my fault. I should have been by your side.”Fia instantly felt hurt.She didn’t feel hurt or sad even when Joy cursed and blamed her. But when this man hugged her and apologized to her, she could feel the pain in her heart suddenly growing. She couldn’t help but tear up and sob. “I didn’t do anything wrong. Why are there so many people who hate me so much?”“They’re blind! They’re the ones that are sick!” Conrad said coldly as he held her even tighter.She was becoming much more emotional and sensitive. Now that her sight had returned, she was going to see even more of such filth. He had to protect her!Five in the evening.Silas delivered them their dinner.“My mom and Mrs. Taylor made dinner together tonight. It’s very hearty!”Conrad helped Fia up, had her lean against the headboard, and set up the table. Silas opened up the two

    “How can you guarantee that it won’t happen?!” Conrad’s face paled, and his joy became worry.The doctor said that the blood clot hadn’t completely disappeared and it appeared to be a time bomb.“We don’t have any better way for now. The best we can do is make sure she takes her medicine and maintains a good mood… As well as not getting injured anymore,” the ophthalmologist said carefully, and it was obvious from his eyes that he cared about Fia.He was hoping that his attitude wouldn’t anger Conrad, so that he could continue his career a bit longer.Conrad stared at the ophthalmologist coldly. He had just wanted to say something to him angrily when Fia tugged at his shirt.“Don’t worry. I’m doing quite well right now.”Since her eyesight had improved, what was she worried about?Even Sally couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat for her colleague. She quickly said, “It’s good that her eyes have recovered, so don’t get angry again or that’ll bring bad luck!”The words “bring

    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
