There were even a few pictures of Britney’s wounded shoulder.Britney looked like a tragic heroine as the blood on her shoulder flowed into her dress.Her eyes filled with sorrow and resentment.Fia felt like something had hit her in the head as she looked at Britney’s picture, stunned. She couldn’t help but enlarge the picture to look into those eyes.She had seen those eyes before…When they were at the hospital, Jason greeted Fia the moment she stepped out of the car as he had been waiting at the hospital entrance for a while.“Have you asked the doctor? How is he doing?” Fia asked anxiously.Jason replied, “We’ve moved him to a ward.”Fia asked him for the ward number and quickly ran over, and she even dropped one of her slippers.Jason picked it up but didn’t stop her. He took her slipper and followed her into the elevator.He crouched down and put the slipper in front of her. “Wear this, Fia.”Fia didn’t even realize that she had lost her slipper. She put it back on an
She didn’t know if it had something to do with Britney.Could it be that he was touched because of her?That couldn’t be right! With Conrad’s martial abilities, even without Britney blocking the attack for him, he could have easily taken the man down.Instead, because Britney blocked the attack, Conrad couldn’t capture the man!“Silas, is the reason he drank because of Britney?” Fia’s tone was still as calm.However, Silas became nervous and quickly explained, “Don’t think too much, madam! You know that the boss only thinks of you! He doesn’t have any feelings for Britney! She’s the one that pounced on him and grabbed the boss’ leg!”Fia was silent. She had already seen those pictures on the web and knew mostly what happened.“Have any of you visited her because of her injury?” “…I mean, we should visit her on behalf of the company, but the boss didn’t allow us to,” Silas said as he bit his lips. “Please don’t misunderstand him. He doesn’t have any feelings for her, not even a
Fia nodded. “Sure. Let’s have a chat tomorrow.”She believed that Barbara was a smart woman. She must have noticed something too.“Have a good rest, Miss Thomas. Please let me know if you need anything else. I’ll make sure that you have it.” With that, she grabbed a pile of bills from her purse and stacked them neatly by the side of the bed.When Mr. and Mrs. Thomas saw the stack of cash, their expression became brighter almost immediately. There were about twenty thousand dollars there, judging from their thickness.Mrs. Thomas said, “Don’t think that this stack of cash will be enough to compensate Britney for her injury!”Mr. Thomas continued, “That’s right! Mr. Maxwell must come personally tomorrow. I’ll wait for him here tomorrow.”Fia lowered her head and let out a silent scoff. “Alright. I’ll take my leave for now. Please take good care of her.”She turned around and Barbara was just going to tell her to take the money back.“Wait!” Britney called out to Fia first.Fia t
Sally quickly left Britney and chased after Fia.As Fia continued to walk down the corridor, her mind never stopped working. She had intentionally mentioned chrysanthemums.Esme never liked chrysanthemums.She was testing Britney.And the result was making her even more perplexed. If her love for the peach blossom scent was a coincidence, would her dislike of the chrysanthemum flower be a coincidence as well?How could a dead person reappear again?Fia shook her head and decided to temporarily stop thinking about them.“Fia!” Sally caught up with her. “Why did you intentionally provoke Britney just now?”Fia glanced at Sally and asked, “Why did you pretend not to know me in there just now, Sally?”“I’m sorry,” Sally said awkwardly. “My family has a good relationship with the Thomas family. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas have a bad temper. I’m worried that if I show our good relationship, they will become even more opinionated and would even double down on you.”“Madam Barbara’s parents
“Britney is a good person,” Sally said as she was worried by the development. Britney was like a little sister to her. While she hadn’t known Fia that long, they were the same to her.“Sally, I know what you’re thinking. But when it comes to friends… One’s feelings are very important,” Fia said as she held Sally's hand. “There’s something I want to ask you.”Sally nodded gently. “Ask away.”“Sally, you are sure that Britney likes your brother?”“Of course!” Sally said firmly. “My parents know about it too.”Fia bit her lips. She believed that she needed to remind Sally then.“Sally, maybe Britney is different now.”“Are you saying that she doesn’t like my brother? Impossible! Ever since my brother came back, she had been going to our house!”Sally said with a firm expression on her face.Fia was confused too. Could it be that the pictures were taken out of context? Angles? Or maybe the eyes and expression were photoshopped?She then grabbed her purse and took out her phone, a
Conrad looked at Fia with half-lidded eyes. "Did you hate me when we were younger?" he asked.Fia snorted and turned away. "You were so arrogant back then, didn't you know?""I..." Conrad furrowed his brows and coughed."What's wrong with you?" Fia said, not able to put up the pretense anymore. She stood and bent down to look at him, patting his chest gently to help him breathe.Conrad gripped her hand and said, "Fia, if I could do it all over again, I would have been nicer to you when we were children."Fia's eyes flickered. Would she have fallen more in love with him if he had done that? Sometimes, things that seemed good may not necessarily be so, and things that seemed bad may not be necessarily bad.Everything had two sides to it."Let's stop talking about the past or what could have been, okay? What we have now is good," Fia said wistfully as she held him and pinched his cheeks before scolding, "I thought you promised to stop drinking. Why did you drink so much? Also, wh
"As his wife, you can't underestimate things like stomach ulcers and gastric! Even if it's treated, you still have to be careful in the future or he will relapse!""Thank you, Doctor," Fia said. "I'll keep an eye on him.""Well, men are inevitably too busy with work and neglect their health. As his wife, you need to watch him more. Don't add pressure on him. It will also affect his condition if he's in a bad mood."Fia thanked the doctor again and took the prescription he gave her before walking out of his office.Outside the door, Tiger stood in the hallway. When he saw her come out, he immediately asked, "How is the boss's condition?"Fia pursed her lips and said, "When you go out with him in the future, don't let him drink or smoke. You need to pay attention to his diet too."Fia's expression was slightly downcast. "If he doesn't listen to you, just call me."Tiger nodded quickly. "Is there anything else?"She handed him the prescription with a pained look and said, "Get the
"She repulses me!" Conrad said with a deep frown.Fia was stunned."I don't know why, but every time I see her doing something, I feel like she has a motive behind it!""She..." Fia was afraid that Conrad was only saying these things to comfort her. "She did take a knife for you...""She didn't have to. I could have avoided it myself. Even if I couldn't, I don't need her to rush over to protect me!" Conrad exclaimed, looking disgusted.Fia stared at him in surprise."Fia, I'm not lying to you," Conrad said as he held her face and kissed her softly on her lips."I'm telling you the truth."He was worried that Britney would say something absurd in front of Fia, which would cause misunderstandings between them as a couple.So, he had to make it clear before anything like that happened.Fia pursed her lips and asked, "Why do you feel repulsed when you look at her? Does seeing her remind you of someone?"Conrad's brows deepened further. For a moment, he didn't dare to be complete
