“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
“Can’t I pay you a visit?”“Oh, just a sec. I need to give someone a call.”Peter had very good eyesight. Since the screen protector on his sister’s phone wasn’t a privacy screen protector, he saw everything.“He hit my car when he was leaving. He was compensating me.”“He did what?” Sally was stunned before standing up and asking nervously, “Was he hurt?”“We’re both quite slow so we’re fine.” Peter sighed and patted his sister’s head. “Are you stupid?”Sally bit her lips. She then turned around and walked over to a filing cabinet, pretending to be finding some files.“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”“It’s fine as long as I know what you’re thinking.” Peter knocked on her desk a few times before asking. “Do you want me to help you?”“Peter!” Sally turned around and looked at him nervously as she stomped. “Don’t interfere with my business!”Peter smiled helplessly and said, “I don’t want to see you running around like a fool.”“To be… To be honest, I don’t like him
