Chapter 494
Conall’s handsome brows gathered into a frown and he clenched his fists tightly.
He could not control his expression and slowly revealed his pain.
He hated his own arrogance. Why had he not searched for Echo all these years?.
As long as he wanted to, he would have been able to find a way to contact Echo at any time.
Then he would have been able to see this child earlier, the child
she had given birth to.
Thinking back to when they broke up, the ruthless words he had said to Echo, he felt as if his heart was being cut
with a knife.
He clearly knew that she had the same pride as he did, so why did he have to say such ruthless words!
It caused the two of them to go their separate ways, neither contacting the other.
Fia was supported by Conrad to sit down at the sofa, and she
lowered her head to smooth out her skirt and then sat down
properly and elegantly.
She took her hand which Conrad was holding back and she

She was looking at Conall, but he still remained a blur:
She managed to look calm and did not reveal her timidity, not showing any joy or anger, as if she was a wall.
“May I know who you are?”
She opened her mouth faintly to break the silence.
“I, I am your…” Conall suddenly could not continue.
For him, who had spent half his life time being all powerful in the business world, he never thought that there would
come a day where he would not even be able to speak when facing a girl.
Fia smiled slightly and something glinted in her eyes.
She continued to ask, “Who are you?”
She wanted to see how this man would reveal his identity!
The muscles on Conall’s face twitched and in the end, unable to
hold back, his tears came rolling down.
Conrad frowned as he looked on, finding it a little unbelievable.
If it were not for him personally witnessing this, who would believe that the resolute CEO Parker would actually cry?
His
tears were like a flood.
Conall wiped the tears off his face and his voice was a little hoarse as he spoke. “I am your mother’s old friend.”
In the end, he still could not face this child and take up the identity of a father.
“My mother’s old friend?”
Fia’s little mouth trembled a couple of times as she turned her head to look elsewhere. The tears in eyes were
making her
vision turn even fuzzier.
“Then… Would you like to see my mom?”
“Ye, yes.” Conȧll’s hands were interlocked together as he gave up trying to wipe his tears that he was trying to hold
back and cried like a fool!
“Before my mom died, she said that she did not wish to be
buried in the icy cold ground. She wanted to become part of the wind. So, as per her wishes, her ashes were
scattered on Mount Reditus. Actually, Mount Reditus is very cold. I wonder if she would be so cold alone that she
would be unable to hold on…”
Conall felt his heart ruthlessly suffocated and was almost unable to catch his breath.
“Old friend, do you know where Mount Reditus is?” Fia asked coldly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I, I do. It is the highest mountain in Gryphon.” He had once frequented the mountain with Echo, standing there,
looking down on the entire Gryphon.
Fia gently smiled, lowering her head as her tears fell.
“It turns out that you know. Seems like you know Gryphon quite well.”
Conall held the pain in his heart and said slowly, “When I was young, I stayed in Gryphon for a couple of years and
am very familiar with Gryphon.”
“I see.” Fia felt a huge sense of disappointment and after the disappointment was a sense of disgust! The breakfast
she had just eaten was revolting in her stomach, making her desire to vomit!
He clearly knew Gryphon very well and lived in Gryphon for a couple of years, yet he had never returned for so
many years, and never inquired about her mother.
If he had inquired, he would have known that her mother had a daughter out of wedlock and would definitely have
taken a look out of suspicion, wouldn’t he?
However, her pitiful mother was still waiting for him even till her death.
At Mount Reditus, waiting. Her mother wanted her to scatter her ashes on Mount Reditus after she died.
She had been waiting for the man who had heartlessly left back then, hoping he would return and go to Mount
Reditus to see her.
Today, she helped her mother fulfill her dying wish.
“Since you know Mount Reditus, I won’t accompany you there.” Fia coldly finished speaking and stood up.
