“It was my fault. I did not put on my seat belt properly.”
Victor frowned and heard Sapphire speak again. “Dad, Mom, why don’t you all go back first? I want to speak to Conrad and Fia.”
“Fine, remember to ring us if there’s anything,” Mrs. Starling said.
Mr. Starling said, “I have instructed the nurse at the nurse’s
station to arrange for you two dedicated nurses.”
“There’s no need for that. Isn’t my husband here?” Sapphire seemed to smile as she shouted, “Victor, you’ll stay with me at night, right?”
Victor swallowed and his tone was faint. “Yes.”
Mr. and Mrs. Starling glared at him. Before they left, they said that if anything else happened to their daughter, they would have
a lesson for him!
Victor did not have much expression from start to end. It was as
if he was not involved.
After her parents left, Sapphire said, “Victor, I want to drink lemonade. Can you help me buy some?”
“Okay.” Victor turned around and put both his hands into his pockets and left the ward.
Sapphire looked at Conrad and Fia with a complicated gaze.
“Now, can I make another request of the both of you for the piece of land in the northern suburbs?”
Fla lowered her gaze and even her face, not wanting Sapphire to misunderstand her expression.
She still found it hard to accept Sapphire acting like this, she wanted to coerce Conrad with her injury.
as if
Conrad looked Sapphire in the eyes and was silent for a couple of seconds before saying, “I will give the instructions to give up on the piece of land in the northern suburbs.”
Sapphire tugged her lips into a smile. “Thank you.”
“Is this your decision?” Conrad made an effort to ask something
extra.
“Yes, this is my decision. Ms. Reid has made hers and I have NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
also made mine.”
Fia frowned, and quietly hugged Conrad’s arm tightly.
“Very well then, take care.” Conrad picked Fia up by her waist, turned around, and left.
It was late and Fia should have long been asleep. It was difficult for her to accompany him at the hospital for so long.
Looking at how Conrad treated Fia as if she was a treasure, Sapphire felt a little envy in her heart.
If Victor could treat her like that, she would be willing to give all the resources of the Starling family to him!
After suffering half the night, the two of them returned home and Conrad brought Fia for a bath before heading to the
bedroom.
After they laid down, Fia turned to face Conrad.
Conrad was quiet for a couple of seconds before turning to hug her waist with a single hand.
She gently sighed in his embrace, her finger poking at his chest.
“What’s wrong?” Conrad used his chin to gently knock on her. head. “Something on your mind?”
“Sapphire wasn’t like this in the past.”
A hint of complication flashed in the bottom of Conrad’s eyes.” Yeah.”
“I know I should not think this of her, but I still think so.” Fia was deeply bothered. Originally, she wanted to see Sapphire to say some comforting words.
However, the moment Sapphire opened her mouth, she
mentioned about the piece of land in the northern suburbs. Instantly she felt her heart chill and decided to keep her mouth. shut.
“I know what you are worried about.” Conrad gently patted her back.
“Today, her jumping out of the car was somewhat related to me bringing her to see Eileen. The piece of land in the northern suburbs is entirely as compensation to her. In the future, I will no longer give way.”
Fia let out a breath. She had been thinking about this matter since she returned from the hospital.
She was worried that if it could happen once, then it would happen a second time. She was worried that Conrad would take a step back yet again, and end up feeding Victor till he was full.
And in the end, Victor would deal with him.
Now that she heard him say the words she needed to hear, she felt quite a bit of relief.
“Fia, thank you for thinking about me.” Conrad raised her chin and gently kissed her.
Fia’s eyelashes trembled and she quietly leaned toward him, not letting him work too hard.
The two people’s originally dangling, anxious emotions were slowly ‘soothed by the gentle kiss, both wanting to only taste the other’s sweetness.
