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
Conrad placed an arm over her shoulders. “He will.”“What did the doctor say? How bad is it?”“Internal bleeding.”Fia could feel her heart sink. She didn’t know what to say as she looked at Conall in the ward.Conrad stroked her back and said, “Don’t worry. We managed to get him to the hospital in time and the doctors saved him. He’ll wake up.”Fia didn’t want to see the person inside anymore. She turned around and walked into Conrad’s arms.“Let’s go.”Just then, the sound of high heels tapping on the floor rapidly approached them.Fia raised her eyes and saw a young, enthusiastic woman running over.She looked very excited, and she had a pretty face.Like her, she also had long, black hair, and she wore a white dress and a pair of white Mary Janes. She looked white and clean.She even smiled at her. She was wondering if this was Britney or Annie.The woman said, “You’re finally here to see Uncle Conall, Fia!”“…”‘Ah, she’s Annie.’Fia got out of Conrad’s arms and sta
Conrad stroked Fia’s back, calming her down.Fia held his arm and said, “I want to get discharged.”“Sure.”When Annie heard them, she quickly said, “Britney’s going to come to visit you later!”“Britney?” Fia turned around and looked at Annie.“Britney has been paying Doctor Sally visits lately and knows about you getting admitted to the hospital. Yesterday, she came to visit you with us, but…”Annie looked at Conrad weakly. “He didn’t let us in.”She then said, “Jason was here too! Everyone cares about you. It’s wrong for Mr. Maxwell to stop all of us from seeing you.”Fia frowned. “So… Are you trying to turn us against each other?”“No!” Annie said anxiously. She looked innocent and appeared to be doing things for her sake. But now that she could see, her voice and her expression made Fia dislike her even more. “If you have the time to spout nonsense here, you should focus on improving your work quality. Then, you don’t have to worry about being unable to find a good man
And now, she was even showing her hostility toward him?Conrad didn’t understand as well. Fia was very grateful for Jason. He knew that better than anyone.But whether it was Britney or Jason, they were thorns in his eyes.It was a good thing to him if Fia hated them all.“Please leave!” With that, he picked Fia up and got back into the ward, then kicked the door close.Jason and Britney had just wanted to go in when the bodyguards stopped them outside the door.Britney was confused. “Why is she suddenly treating me like this?”Jason consoled her, seeing that she was still so young. “She probably isn’t treating only you like that. She must have realized too many things lately and is upset.”“Really?” Britney lowered her head as she sniffed so that others would think that she was crying. “Originally, I liked Fia a lot too, and wanted to be good friends with her. But from the looks of it, she probably doesn’t like me.”Jason stayed silent.Fia had never been that aggressive. Wh
Barbara frowned. “I can believe it if you said Mr. Maxwell did that, but Mrs. Maxwell wouldn’t.”“She must treat you better because you’re a director in the company. Does she have a problem with me because you asked me to be your assistant without the company’s approval? She was treating me quite well during lunch last time.”Barbara looked at how pitiful Britney was. But due to their blood relation, no matter how much she liked her boss’ wife, she loved her own sister more.“Don’t worry about her. Even Mr. Maxwell didn’t say a word when I recruited you, so she can’t say anything.”“But I heard from Sally that she was emotionally unstable. If she became unhappy because of me and that made her sickness worse, aren’t I at fault because of that?”“Don’t be so kind anymore, Britney. How did you become so soft after going overseas!” Barbara patted her face before saying, “You didn’t make her like this. If she really wanted to take offense because of that, then it’s her problem.”“But
Britney kept on turning around and said, “Sally, Jason! Don’t get angry. That’s just my sister’s temper.”She was the one that slowly started the fire. But she would never give them a chance to find any direct evidence that pointed to her.She wanted to make them feel uncomfortable. And then, she would find a chance to do something “sincere” for them. To make them feel grateful for her.With more situations like this, she believed that she would finally be able to act out Britney’s gentle and kind personality well. Then, she could give them that one critical strike she needed.Just you wait, Fia!It took a few seconds after the sisters left for Sally to look at Jason, confused. “What did they mean by that?”Jason looked at her and said, “There’s no need for them to ruin your mood and affect your work.”“Who said that you can’t bring friends over to a date? Must you be a gentleman and take good care of her? You didn’t like her, right? If you’re a gentleman, what if she fell in lo
Fia smiled helplessly and unbuckled her seat belt before bending over to his side.Just when Conrad thought that Fia was going to kiss him, she suddenly extended her hand and pinched his ears.“Oh, you… Do you think I don’t know you? You keep on starting problems.”While Conrad gave his ear a rub, he was secretly delighted.Now that Fia had become much bolder with him, did that mean they were closer to each other now?“What is it?”When Fia saw Conrad’s happy eyes, her heart began to throb uncontrollably.“Fia… I’ll make it up for you.”He looked at him earnestly and the smile in his eyes disappeared. He promised her.Fia’s heart throbbed as she lay back in her seat and pulled her seatbelt.However, she didn’t expect the man to suddenly bend over and kiss her instead.When Jason was leaving the parking lot in his car, he looked at the windshield from his window as he passed by. He then saw Conrad kissing Fia.From his arrogance, it was clear that he was making him see it al
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
