Chapter 462
Annie lowered her eyes. There was disgust in them.
She didn’t want to come at all!
Ever since she knew that this blind woman was Mr. Maxwell’s wife,
her torment never ended!
She was only making it worse for herself by coming over and seeing him take such good care of the woman in front
of her.
And to think that Fia was her uncle’s daughter and that they both had the same blood flowing within their veins…
She felt uncomfortable just thinking about it!
She could take it if she was a beautiful, healthy, and graceful lady! But, she was just a blind woman. How could she
be worthy of him?
Realizing how despicable her thoughts had become, Annie looked up nervously, worried that people would see what
she was thinking.
Luckily, that woman was blind. Mr. Maxwell wasn’t paying attention

“Have some water, Fia.” Conrad held a glass of water and put the straw in before holding it close to Fia’s mouth.
When Annie saw that, the envy within her grew even stronger!
A great man like him shouldn’t be spending his time taking care of the
blind!
Thinking of Fia’s relationship with the Parkers, a plan popped up in her mind. It excited her.
“Mr. Maxwell, let me help you take care of the madam.”
She looked innocent and kind, wanting to take the glass from
Conrad’s hand…
But before her hands could even touch Conrad, he had already moved away and said, “Scram!”
Annie then said miserably, “I just wanted to help you, seeing how busy you are. Not to mention that Mrs. Maxwell is
my uncle’s daughter. She’s a year older than me, so she’s my older cousin. As cousins, it’s normal for me to take
care of her.”
Fia was laying there, holding Conrad’s hand. She took two more sips before raising her head and looking at Annie’s
blurry face. “Thanks for coming to visit me, Miss Parker. Have a seat. No need to take care of me… My husband is
here.”
Annie bit her lips and sat at the side, watching how Conrad helped Fia with her drink and then wiped her lips with his
handkerchief.
She held her hands tightly. She had to endure! It was good that Fia was a member of the Parker household. She
could use this chance to
get close to Conrad.
She could never believe that she was worse than a blind woman!
“Miss Parker, you’re afraid of my husband?” Fia smiled faintly as she looked at the white shadow.
“I’m just an employee. It’s normal that I’m afraid of my boss.” Seemed like Annie was very afraid of Conrad. She
eyed him once before lowering her head.
“Conrad might look scary, but he listens to reason. You’ll be fine as long as you don’t start any trouble with him.”
Fia was quite gentle, but it sounded different to Annie. It sounded like Fia was warning her.
Annie straightened the wrinkles on her skirt and tilted her head as she looked at Fia, who was also looking back at
her as she lay on the bed.
“It looks quite hard for you to lay like that.”

Annie looked at Conrad carefully and said to her, “I’ll chat with you for a while.”
“Sure,” Fia said.
Conrad looked at Fia. He didn’t believe that she and Annie had anything to talk about.
“Do you want to know about my uncle? I can tell you about him,” Annie said.
Fia frowned and said, “I don’t want to know anything about the Parkers, Miss Parker. I just wanted to ask you if
you’re doing alright in the company.”
“I’m doing alright. Everyone in the department treats me very well.”
“Ah. You never saw any of your seniors bullying a junior?”
“No,” Annie answered honestly as she quickly glanced at Conrad, who was looking at Fia.
Fia’s heart sank when she heard the woman’s innocent voice. A woman like that… would always have to endure a
bit of harassment no matter where she worked.
Those who didn’t get harassed were usually quite good at socializing. And those that were especially good would
have skills that someone innocent wouldn’t have.
