Conrad held one of Fia’s wrist, clearly not letting her see Jason.Fia said softly, “Then go with me?”Conrad frowned, unable to reject her.“Now you are a suspect. We can see him together and when he wakes up, it’ll be good for him to point out the person who hit him.” After Fia finished, she looked at Finn and asked, “Is it okay like this?”Finn went quiet for a couple of seconds. “Yes. But the both of you must be within our line of sight and aren’t allowed to leave on your own.”“Okay.” Fia looked at Conrad. “Is such an arrangement alright?”Although Conrad really didn’t like her going to Jason, she had arranged things very well and he could not reject her.Fia looked at him and seeing that he did not say a word, she spoke again. “Let Mr. White go over as well and find a time to perform hypnosis on me. I find it a little hard to bear not recognising anyone.”***In the end, Conrad agreed to Fia’s suggestion. He went to the hospital with her to see Jason and asked Marcus alo
“All evidence points to him!” Garrett stared at Conrad in disappointment.Every time he looked at Conrad, it was as if he was looking at Beryl.Beryl was vicious and unreasonable and Conrad had her blood flowing through him.The mother and son were the same and to add on, the car without a plate was a car under his bodyguard.“When Mr. Evans got into the accident, he was with me. He did not call anyone, nor did he send anyone to do bad things!” Fia defended him. Looking at Garrett’s disappointed gaze, she felt heartache for Conrad.“Mr. Maxwell, Conrad is your biological son! Even if the entire world doesn’t believe him, you should have some trust in him!”Clarice looked at how upset and anxious Fia was, and she was reminded of how her son had given up so much for her and felt heartache. Immediately, she lost the heart to say anything on Conrad’s behalf.“Fia, don’t waste your words on them.” Conrad held Fia’s wrist. “There’s no need.”“But…” Fia stared at Garrett. “Why did thi
“As if I will be afraid of you!” Conrad pushed Finn, looking as if he was going to fight Garrett to death!Finn and Fia stopped Conrad while the former yelled at Clarice, “Clarice, get him to calm down!”Clarice hugged Garrett’s waist. “Don’t be like this. Wait for Jason to wake up before talking further.”Conrad did not dare to continue struggling, fearful of banging into Fia.Garrett was the same. Clarice had bad bones and he was afraid of hurting her and no longer struggled.The father-son duo glared at each other ruthlessly, wishing nothing more than to kill the other party.Finn was sure that with the both of them being held back by their own women, they would no longer go crazy.He wiped the sweat off his forehead and said earnestly, “I am not here to see you two fight! Garrett, you are a mature man. How can you do this?!”Looking around, he walked to Garrett and said softly, “Based on my understanding of this kid, Conrad, he’s not someone who would do something so low. I
Conrad gave a cold laugh. “Just because I am my mother’s son?”Fia felt extremely upset and stretched out both hands to hug him.“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t suspect you.”Although she did not know the whole story, as his wife, before knowing the whole truth, she should trust him without any reservations!“It’s fine.” Conrad hugged Fia back, not wanting to blame her.How she was right now was all because he did not protect her well.Even if she suspected him, didn’t trust him, they were all his own doings.“It’s fine,” he said softly, as if he was comforting himself.Fia never imagined a day where he would be so humble before her.Clearly, in the past, he was invincible, absolutely hated people for suspecting him or taking him lightly the most.She could only hug him tightly and she said comfortingly, “The situation now is not the worst. That director did not limit your freedom and he even helped to pull Mr. Maxwell aside, which proves that he trusts you.”Conrad did not say anyt
It just made her so happy.He remembered that she was a little shorter when she had just entered university, and she grew a couple of centimeters during her university days. At that time, Esme intentionally came to complain in front of him. “How could Fia still grow when she’s already in university? My height has been the same since high school!”Seeing her happy, Conrad did not mention Esme, to avoid her recalling anything.“When did I grow taller? Was it when I married you?” Fia also thought about Esme. “Esme’s height hadn’t changed since Grade 11. However, she’s still taller than me.”She stuck out her tongue and said, “Esme is 5’4”, taller than I am!”After she finished speaking, the smile on her face froze.“Is she really dead?” She recalled the words Miss Thomas said.Conrad frowned, raised her face, and gave her a kiss.Fia was stunned, fireworks going off in her mind!He… He actually kissed her?!The kiss got deeper until someone passed by. Only then did he let her go
“No!” Fia’s pupils widened, as she rushed toward Clarice’s dagger.“Fia!”Conrad smacked the bag away. He saw Clarice with her gaze full of hatred and her hand holding a dagger as she rushed at him. And Fia stretching out her arms, rushing in front of him.He tried his best to grab Fia, but he was still a step too late. Clarice’s dagger stabbed into Fia’s arm and blood flowed.Conrad roared, “Scram!” And he pushed Clarice aside.Clarice fell to the ground, the pain awakening her confused mind.Seeing Fia in Conrad’s embrace and seeing the dagger stabbed into her shoulders, Clarice’s eyes instantly reddened.The words that her son, Jason, once told her rang out by her ears “Mom, I do everything for Fia willingly, I have never wished for anything in return.”“Jason…” she cried in heartache. What had she done?When Jason gained consciousness, he would definitely blame her.Garrett and Finn had just returned from their talk and were stunned when they saw this scene before them.
Bearing with an intense migraine, the director of the hospital said to her, “Come with us to the operating theater. We can talk about it on the way!”“Okay!”As the two of them walked into the staff elevator to get to the operating theater, the director told Sally everything from start to finish. After learning about how Fia got stabbed with a knife, Sally could not help but feel sad and worried for her.“These people from high society… tsk!” The director kept on complaining, “I’ve done everything I could to keep this under the press’s radar but… Let’s hope no one outside of the hospital catches wind of this. Or else… our hospital would have to bear the brunt of it!”Hearing this, Sally had a hunch that her brother had something to do with all this. “Sir, I have to make a call.”“This isn’t the time for that! You can make the call after we’ve handled Mrs. Maxwell’s wound! Mr. Maxwell is in a foul mood right now! We can’t afford to stall!”When they were treating Fia’s wound, Co
Sally’s tears began to roll down her cheeks upon hearing Fia’s apology. Poor Fia... She had lost her memories and gotten stabbed with a knife. Yet, her soul was still as pure and kind as before.And her? She blamed her for what had happened to her brother. She even refused to treat Fia when Conrad came to her home that day.“No, you’re not in the wrong, Fia. It’s me who needs to say sorry to you.”Fia was flustered with panic and confusion when she saw Sally crying. “Please don’t cry. It’s true. My wound doesn’t hurt anymore.”“Fia…” Sally’s tears streamed even more, drenching her surgical mask.“What…What’s wrong?” Fia pulled on Conrad’s hand in a panic. “Did I do something wrong?”“No.” Conrad took a cold glance at Sally before saying, “Thank you for your assistance, Doctor Sally. You may go now.”“Alright, I’ll be going then. Do call me if you need anything.” Still overwhelmed by her guilty conscience, Sally left the operating theater in a hurry, not wanting to cause Fia an
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
