Sally lowered her gaze and shook her head. “Thank you, Doctor Lawrence, however, it has been dealt with. Please help me take a look at my injuries and prescribe some medication.”“Alright.” Doctor Lawrence made sure to have sanitized hands before checking the injuries on her face, lightly touching her swollen face from time to time.Right at that moment, Jason brought Kent in.Sally saw Jason from the corner of her eye and immediately used Kent’s suit to cover her face.This level of nervousness made Doctor Lawrence suspicious.Quite a number of people knew about Sally’s one-sided love for Jason.Could it be that Sally’s confession was met with Jason’s rejection? And some accident happened?Or did she hit Jason in anger out of embarrassment after he rejected her and Jason accidentally hurt her?Doctor Lawrence’s mind was full of fantasies while sizing up Jason.“Hey! What kind of nonsense are you thinking about!” Kent interrupted rudely. “Quickly take a look at Doctor Sally’s
She guessed that Sally was doing it for her brother, not wishing to cause a huge ruckus.Sally looked at Conrad, who was by the side. “I’ll have to trouble you to hand that foreigner to the police.”Conrad did not hesitate. “Alright.”“Thank you all,” Sally said her thanks once more. “I have some work to do and need to make a trip to the office. I’ll make a move first.”“Sally…” Fia looked at her departing figure, feeling heartache, but she could only call out to her softly.Conrad walked over to her. “Let’s go. Let’s go home.”Fia was heartbroken and leaned into Conrad’s embrace.“Conrad, I’m very sad.”Conrad hugged her and gently patted her arm. “Doctor Sally will be fine.”He had seen many people. Although Sally appeared gentle and weak, on the inside, she was strong.Kent said, feeling at a loss, “How could it be? I saw the footage. She was totally unconscious when Britney brought her to the hotel. It’s very clear that she had been schemed against by Britney.”Fia repli
Jason gave Kent an elegant smile. “Don’t be courteous with me. I am not her lover.”“Then what do you plan to do in the future?” Kent looked at Jason with a little pity.Jason replied, “I’ll manage Argonauts Corp well and work hard.”Kent replied rudely, “Then what about the aspect of romance? You can’t possibly keep hanging yourself to death on the same tree!”“I won’t hang to death, nor will I have the chance to hang.” Jason laughed self-deprecatingly. “There are a lot of things to do at the company now. Where would I have the mood to consider things of the heart?”“All of these are excuses! Maxwell Corporation is such a big company. Aren’t there many matters to deal with? Conrad still manages to follow his wife around!”“Kent, are you blind?” Jason sighed. “He has so many people under him while I am alone.”“Oh my, isn’t that quite pitiful!” Kent ridiculed him. “Why don’t I go to your company to help you?”“You’re not willing to inherit your family business but are willing t
Kent’s expression was a little stunned. “Does your face need to be bandaged?”He was afraid that he would not be able to learn this skill as a disciple. What if he turned her into a mummy!Sally swept him an odd glance. “My face is swollen, and there are no open wounds. There is no need for bandaging.”Not only was this person a little funny, his brain was not quite the same as the ordinary person.“Then what did you take the bandages for?” “Don’t you want to learn how to deal with wounds? You guys usually get hurt due to fights, driving too fast and falling asleep, hitting something, something or another. If it’s not an open wound, usually it’d be a bone injury, so I’m teaching you how to bandage an open wound.”Kent was a little speechless and smiled awkwardly. “Doctor Sally, how do you know us men so well?”“I’ve seen many patients, so I’ve come to understand.”Kent was speechless.Sally said seriously, “I’ll teach you how to bandage and deal with open wounds that are blee
Fia looked at Sophia, wanting very much to know what else she was good at besides having good moves.Conrad said, “Fia, I have something to do and have to make a trip. Wherever you go, get Sophia to follow you.”“Alright, go on!” It’ll only be easier for her to ask Sophia some questions after he leaves.Before Conrad left, he instructed Sophia, “Before I return, you cannot leave Fia’s side!”“Yes, sir!” Sophia saluted Conrad respectfully.Fia was speechless.Sophia was like a loyal little soldier while her husband was like a general.“Sophia, let me ask you some things!” Hearing Conrad drive away, Fia spoke excitedly.Sophia smiled. “Please go ahead.”“Sigh, stop standing in a military position. You’re making me nervous.” Fia got up and grabbed Sophia to sit down.“Why were you in that hotel?”Sophia replied, “Sir sent me there to be a spy!”Fia asked, “Does that hotel do things that cannot be seen by others privately?”“Yes.”“Isn’t it very dangerous to send a girl like
Yet, Sally loved Jason. Feeling her head aching from thinking about it, Fia shook her head to stop.“Sophia, I’m pregnant. So could you teach me some self-defense techniques?”“You’re pregnant, madam?” It was a pleasant surprise for Sophia, “How far along are you? Is it a boy? A girl?”Fia sighed. “It’s not developed enough to tell its gender yet.”“Oh my! It’s still wonderful news regardless if it's a boy or a girl! Don’t worry, madam! Silas and Tiger are too busy to do this but I can teach your child self-defense techniques myself! I’ll make sure no one gets to bully the young master or young miss!”“Okay! Thank you, Sophia!” Fia was really fond of Sophia. This girl had good looks and an easy-going, tomboyish personality.***At the police station, Conrad was brought to meet Finn. The latter was on the phone when Conrad walked into his office. Finn pointed at the chair in front of his desk, signalling him to take a seat. When Conrad sat down, the police officer who was escor
“Check the surveillance camera!” Finn walked to the door, worried that this could be an inside job.Conrad quickly stood up to stop him. “Director Parker, the manager has already been murdered. Do you think the foreigner will still be useful to us?”Finn did not know what to say to him. If the person behind the scenes could make a spineless coward like that manager to commit suicide, it was clear that these people held psychological leverage on him to the point that he would rather die than talk.If that was true, then letting the foreigner go would serve very little in furthering their investigation.“Very well. The man will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. We will give Ms. Sally Hall the closure that she needs.” Finn finally made up his mind.Conrad nodded and left the police station. He was glad that he did not disappoint his Fia this time.“Madam, it’s not advisable to learn martial arts when you’re pregnant.” Sophia, on the other hand, was trying her darndest to
During the examination, Peter detected some minor bleeding from Esme’s womb. So he gave her some tocolytic agents to avoid premature labor.When Esme wanted to get up from the table, Peter ordered her coldly, “Lie down!”Esme lay back and wept again. “I did not intend to harm Sally. It was really her own doing. She was drinking alcohol and in a bad mood. I wanted to bring her to a hotel to rest… I didn’t think…”“You can stop lying now!” Peter glared at her with his brooding, loathing eyes. “No matter how much you speak to me, I will never believe a word you say! I’m only saving you for the sake of the child in your womb!”“…”Esme froze in horror. It was not uncommon to see Peter getting angry with her. However, he had never looked at her like this before. His eyes were filled with hatred, as though he was looking at human filth. Seeing him like this made her perturbed and terrified. It had been quite some time since she had returned to Fortuna but she had not successfully exac
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
