“I won’t let her get close to Fla.”
“Fine! You better walk the talk. Otherwise, I’ll cback and take Fia away no matter how far I am!”
Conrad frowned and looked at Eileen. “You’re leaving today?”
“Yeah.” Eileen lowered her eyes. “Thanks for helping me, but I can’t let Victor realize that anything’s wrong. Otherwise, it’ll be quite messy afterward.”
Conrad nodded and said, “Good luck.”
“Take care of Fia for me.”
“Don’t worry.”
Eileen left.
Conrad quietly got up to the bedroom, but Fia was already asleep.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMaybe it was because she hit her head, but she got sleepy very easily.
She slept until three in the afternoon. Fia opened her eyes, but the world was still a fog of gray.
Every tshe opened her eyes after she woke up from her sleep, she wished her eyes could see again.
She hated that she couldn’t see anything nor do anything.
“You’re awake? Are you hungry?” Conrad asked as he sat by the bed, holding her hand.
Fla frowned and asked, “Eileen’s gone?”
“Yes. Don’t worry. I’ll do everything that I promised you.”
Conrad was getting worried, so he grabbed a document and put a pen in her hand.
“Fia, I’ve shown my sincerity. All I need is for you to sign a contract that you won’t divorce me.”
Fia didn’t hesitate. While holding the pen, she signed the paper under his guidance.
Because she couldn’t see, the signature was quite shabby.
Conrad looked at her signature on the document and felt much more at ease.
“I wish that you’ll focus on Eileen,” Fia said.
However, she had already decided that signing the papers was only to make him feel more grounded and to make him willingly work for her. Once she was done, she wanted to leave. This was not something that a contract could stop her from doing.
Even if she couldn’t divorce, if she wanted to leave, she would leave as long as she could.
Conrad raised his head and looked at her. “I keep my promises.”
In the evening, Silas’s mother had prepared dinner and asked the two to cdown to eat.
Conrad carried Fia and heard her asking, “Who’s that?”
“Silas’s mother.”
“Mrs. Taylor isn’t coming back?” Thinking about how Mrs. Taylor took care of her, she was worried that Beryl would do something to her.
“Something happened at Mrs. Taylor’s home, so Silas’s mother will be taking care of us for now.”
Fia held his arm tightly. “What happened? When will she cback?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmConrad didn’t want her to know what his mother did.
“Private business.”
Seeing that he wouldn’t tell her, she didn’t force the matter.
Mrs. Taylor had looked after him since he was a boy. She believed that he would take good care of her.
“Mr. Maxwell, please lethelp her.”
In the beginning, Fia felt a bit restrained. Since she had never seen her, she didn’t know what she was like.
After staying together for about four days, she realized that Silas’s mother was just as kind as Mrs. Taylor.
When Conrad went to work every day and left them alone, Silas’s mother would take good care of her. She would check up on her every half an hour.
She would ask her if she was hungry or thirsty, whether she needed to go to the toilet, and whether she needed to rest by lying down.
Fia was really touched by that. She warmed up to her and would call her “Mrs. Whitley” if she needed anything.
Every tshe called her, Mrs. Whitley would crunning after acknowledging her call.
Her days were harmonious. A doctor would cand perform a routine checkup every two or three days and they would prescribe smedicine for her.
“You’re awake, Fia?”
“Yes.” Fia lay on the bed, unmoved. *
Conrad looked at his watch. He had an important meeting in the morning. He grabbed a folic acid pill and helped her up with a glass of water in hand.
