Chapter 1201
Overjoyed to see Sophia in the picture, Fia immediately dialed Lucifer’s number.
“She’s still alive?”
“Of course.” Lucifer took a sip of water from his cup and said, “I have no qualms with the girl. Why’d I want her dead? Besides, you know just how much I love playing games. It’s more fun forto toy with someone than end their life, right?”
Fia’s heart sank when she heard this. “You…you….!”
“Hehe, what? Cat got your tongue, Fia?” Lucifer said with a mischievous grin.
“So, she’s now working for you?” Fia asked coldly.
“Yes. She pledged herself towholeheartedly as a pawn.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis could not be! Fia recalled just how unwilling Sophia was to get back to the Hellish Training Camp when she disappointed Conrad back then. She said she had enough of the harsh life in the camp and wanted a normal civilian life.
Yet now, Lucifer said Sophia willingly offered to be a pawn? A pawn that would live in the shadows?
“It’s impossible!”
“Why not? She’s really pissed back then, you know? She’s pissed and disgusted at how Conrad Maxwell mistreated you. So, she forfeited her life amongst the civilians and cto me. Don’t worry. She’s now working underso I treat her well.”
“I want to see her right now!” Fia yelled into the phone agitatedly. She had a bad feeling that Sophia’s decision to work under Lucifer was mostly related to her.
“You’d actually seen her before. It’s just that she did not want to reveal herself to you.” Lucifer sighed, “Look, I had a long day. So, I’ll go hit to sack now. Toodeloo.”
Not giving her a chance to say anything back, Lucifer hung up the phone. When Fia tried dialing the number again, it showed that the man had switched off his phone.
It was the first tFia felt such a strong guilt for a person in the last five years. She shut her eyes and thought about Sophia’s sweet smile… Oh, Sophia… Poor Sophia…
“Madam!”
“Don’t you worry, Madam! I will protect you!”
“Madam, I’ll follow you wherever you go. No matter what Sir says, I’ll listen to you first! After all, it is my duty to protect you!”
Leaning against the wall, Fia squatted down and covered her eyes with her trembling hands.
“Sophia… why’d you have to be so foolish…” Fia mumbled to herself with a stifled sob.
‘You wanted a normal civilian life… You had Tiger who loved you very much… Why? Why did you have to lunge into the darkness like that?’
After being haunted by this thought throughout the night, Fla brought the kids to the upper floor first thing in the morning.
As the door opened, a pale, weakened Conrad Maxwell appeared before their eyes. It was quite apparent that he was having ssort of fever. Even his breath was burning hot.
Despite how ill he felt, he gave a bright smile the moment he saw her.
“Welcome. Why are you here?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAdrian and Irene greeted him in unison, “Good morning, Uncle Maxwell!”
Conrad turned and smiled at the children. When he was about to say something to them, Fla interjected, “I know someone who could remove that poison of yours.”
“Who?” Conrad asked as he leaned against the wall. Even though it was a vain attempt at looking tough, he tried to not let her see him in such a weakened state.
Ignoring his needless attempt at not looking weak, Fia said coldly, “Five years ago, you had an underling named ‘Tiger’. He’s an expert investigator and chemist. If you can find him, it wouldn’t take long to find out what poison you’re dealing with.”
“Tiger?” Conrad furrowed his brows and said, “I think Silas has mentioned that nbefore.”
“Find him. He can help you.”
Fia wanted to find Tiger first before convincing Sophia to leave Lucifer’s entourage. Then, she’d beg Lucifer to let Sophia go.
Fia could shrug off her past and treat Eileen, Jason, and Sally as strangers-because no matter how heartbroken they were, they still had a life of their own to lead.
However, Sophia willingly gave up on her own livelihood-all just for her. Fia could not allow that. She wanted to give Sophia back the peaceful, normal life that she deserved!
“How do you know about Tiger?” Conrad asked weakly.
“It’s none of your business.” Fia turned and walked away, bringing her children with her.
However, after a few steps away, she heard a loud thud from behind!
“Mommy, Uncle Maxwell fainted!” Adrian and Irene cried out.
