His mind was echoing the words the doctor said. [When you’re pregnant, the hormones in your body will spike and that will stimulate the growth of your breast, which will cause nodules to become worse.]After drinking the third cup of icy water, the heat in his heart lowered. He took out his phone to search for news regarding nodules at the breast.He saw that some doctors said that most nodules were benign and would not turn malignant. His suspended heart felt a little at ease as he continued to search. He found that pregnancy would cause the pregnant wife to have a bad temper and even some examples of benign nodules becoming malignant, and instantly his heart fell to the pits of the valley.He slammed his phone on the counter hard and his good-looking amber eyes turned gloomy.His heart kept swaying with uncertainty, whether to choose the child or Fia’s health.The pills earlier and other medicine that could help with the nodule could not be eaten! And pregnancy would worsen the
“Conrad, are you treating me like a goddess? Compared to you, I’m not even worth a finger of yours!” Fia acted angry as she spoke.However, she had just finished speaking when she could not help but kiss his face.Conrad’s brows wiggled and he revealed a gentle smile.“Fia, are you taking advantage of me?”Fia tilted her head and leaned back, smiling at him as she asked, “Then, are you tofu?”Conrad was speechless. He made a mistake. How could he be a piece of tofu?“If you are tofu, then you must be the best looking, best tasting tofu!” Fia’s brows curved as she pinched Conrad’s cheeks.Conrad laughed helplessly. “Is there any difference in the looks of tofu? All of them are squares with four corners. What difference would there be?”“I don’t care about that!” She hooked her arms around his neck, looking into his charming amber eyes.“In my eyes, you are the best looking. No matter what you are, you are the best looking!”Conrad lightly squeezed her slender waist. “You too.”
Conrad opened his mouth. “You know everything about Fia’s situation?”“Yeah.” Sally sized up Fia. It had been some time since they met. Her complexion was good and there was no situation where she became weak or skinny. It could be seen that Conrad fed her quite well.Conrad was rarely in a hurry as he immediately asked, “Is it possible to ease her situation?”Sally looked at him. “Let me take a look first before we talk about it.”“I’ll have to trouble you then.” Fia held her hand the whole time.Not knowing why, with just a single gaze she noticed that Sally seemed to have undergone something lately.She was not as lively as she was before. She was a little melancholic and a little restrained.Fia also didn’t know whether or not it was related to what she had mentioned to her about her brother and Britney.Her original intention was for Sally to have her guard up in case she was unable to accept the truth in the future.“Mr. Maxwell, please step out for a bit. I’ll check Fia
Sally stared at Fia, and could see her nervousness and carefulness.“Keep it. If it didn’t come when it did, you wouldn’t have noticed your nodule. This child should be your lucky star.”Fia’s tears started to fall. “Sally, thank you.”“However.” Sally picked up two pieces of tissue and gently wiped Fia’s tears.“It is a blessing but it’s also a disaster. You need to be mentally prepared. If you want to keep the child, you can’t take medicine to treat the nodule and when you are pregnant, the nodule will worsen. When the time comes, your breast might be in frequent pain.”Fia blinked but did not say anything.Sally felt there was a need to make the details clear in order to avoid her having impetuous feelings when she was in pain.“Normal people would feel breast pain during pregnancy and your situation will be worse when the time comes. Are you sure you won’t regret it due to the discomfort?”Fia immediately shook her head. “I won’t regret it!”Sally helped her sit up and con
She said quite sadly, “If my brother really did anything bad, I am unable to judge him.”Fia was in a daze, her mind full of images of an elder brother chasing after a younger sister.She did not have any siblings.When she was young, she saw how female students in the same class were loved by their elder brothers and how they sat behind their brothers on their bikes.While she was alone all by herself. She would feel admiration too.“However, don’t worry. I won’t let things be either.” Sally choked a little. “I just hope that on account of me, you would be merciful toward him. He was really a good person in the past and now, he still remains a good brother to me.”Before Fia regained her senses, Sally held her crying face and left.Fia sat in the living room, a little stunned. Hearing her talk about the relationship she had with her brother made her subconsciously sucked in.If she had such a good brother, a great existence that was the same as a personal belief, she would be
“Really?” Fia was in a panic. Things were more complicated than she expected and they were not as clear cut anymore.Conrad said patiently, “Peter sold off all his villas abroad and gave Sally a bank card. All the money was kept inside.”Fia looked at him in a daze. “What does that mean?”“From my perspective, Peter is taking precautions. He’s worried that once things come to light, Doctor Sally and his parents will not live well. Therefore, he is taking some precautions, saving up a sum of money and giving it to Doctor Sally.”Fia slowly calmed down as she said with a frown, “For him to be selling the villas and giving money to Sally, aren’t these actions equivalent to exposing himself?”When Conrad found out, he also felt that Peter was being careless. However, his instinct told him that Peter was not a simple man. For him to dare to have done so, he must have made other plans.Unless, he overestimated him.“Perhaps he never thought of anyone else being suspicious.” Conrad was
“I didn’t want you to cry.”“I’m not a crybaby. Why’d you think I would cry?”“You really love the Lane twins.” Conrad sighed in dismay. “I was afraid that you might cry when you bid your farewells.”It was true that he did not want Fia to be emotionally affected. Knowing that he had good intentions, Fia did not press on the matter too much. She lightly shoved him to the door. “You go get Mary and Sharon at the entrance. They should be here any minute now.”“Okay.”Thus, Conrad walked to the gates. He was there in time to see Mary and Sharon arriving. Seeing the mother-and-daughter pair, a bodyguard approached them for questioning.Conrad said to the bodyguard, “Let them in.”The bodyguard obliged and opened the gate, allowing the pair to enter. Conrad took a glance at them before turning to the bodyguard. “In the future, if you see these two, you can let them in.”“Yes, sir.”“Come in. Fia’s waiting for you,” Conrad said in a distant yet polite tone to the pair.Mary heard a
“You know what I mean. It’s those characters in the movies that are mentally unstable. They tend to be very good-looking but viciously heartless!” Mary’s voice rose as she became increasingly excited.Still standing outside of the villa, Conrad suddenly lost the desire to go into the house after hearing what Mary thought of him.“Ahem! No, he’s not like that.” Fia cleared her throat and explained, “Conrad only looks cool and distant on the outside. But he’s actually a really…”“Fia, no need to pretend. He indeed loves you. That’s an undeniable fact. But men like these are very intolerant and paranoid. You must have led a tough life living with him.” Mary looked at Fia with teary eyes, feeling very sorry for her.“…”This conversation was getting ridiculous. Why did Mary suddenly have such a deep misunderstanding and negative preconception for her husband? Conrad, who was standing near the entrance, quietly leaned against the wall next to the door to eavesdrop on them.“Fia, you
