Conrad knew that it was pointless to explain to her. He turned to Eileen and asked her in an irritated tone, “Why did you bring her here?”“I wanted her to come here,” Fia said as she pulled Eileen back and took a step forward.However, she was still looking in the wrong direction. She wasn’t facing Conrad but an empty space next to him.“I wanted to see if you’re going to be here by the riverside.”She bit her lips and said, “I knew you'd be here, though. You can’t give up on any hope to save her, right?”“I…” Conrad looked at Fia. She had a small frame. However, he felt that the person in front of him was a giant rock of ice.He wanted to explain, but she cut him off. “The bus exploded and fell into the river. She’s dead.”With that, she passed the phone to Conrad.“Fia said that I received an anonymous message on my phone. Take a look.”Conrad received it and then saw the message.’ll curs

Their surroundings were very quiet.Thus, Fia decided to break that silence herself.“What do you want to say to me, Evans?”Jason looked at her and slowly approached her.He crouched down in front of her and held her hand that had already curled up.“Fia, I don’t want to see you get hurt again.”Fia’s blank eyes blinked. “Evans, no one wants to get hurt. Unfortunately, this is fate.”“I’ll take you away!” Jason held her hands. “We can leave Gryphon! We can leave Conrad Maxwell! You can then live whatever life you want!”The air seemed to freeze for a few seconds before Fia forcefully pulled her hands away.She straightened her back and said, “Evans, I’m blind.”“I don’t care!”“A blind, divorcee… It’s not worth it.”Her voice was cold. She couldn’t reciprocate Jason’s feelings even when she could see.How could she take advantage of him when she was blind?No matter how much she wanted freedom, she refused to use such a shortcut.She wouldn’t do it in the past, she woul

“That’s enough, Garrett!” Clarice, who was tall and slim and wearing a traditional dress, pulled Garrett to his seat and gave him a glass of iced water.She then sighed at her son who was still standing there. “Now that you’re back, don’t stand there as if you’re standing in front of an altar. Have a seat.”Jason looked at his mother, Clarice Evans. Despite how she spoke, she was very gentle.She was the main reason that he grew up well-adjusted.“Speak. What are you thinking about?” Garrett’s temper rose again after he drank the water.“Seriously. You drank a cold glass of water already. Why are you still so angry?”Clarice then gave Garrett’s shoulders a massage while she blinked at her son.“To be honest, Jason is quite mature now. It’s a good thing that he likes someone.”“Ridiculous!” Garrett became even angrier and he turned to look at Clarice. “Don’t you know who he fell in love with?!”Clarice pouted and shrugged as she spread her hands in front of her.“I know, but

“Is it true, Fia?”Conrad didn’t dare to blink and simply stared at Fia.Her unfocused eyes blinked a few times as if she was in a panic.However, in two seconds, it became calm.“How’s that possible?”“…”“I simply didn’t want him to waste time on me.”Conrad’s anxious heart slowly returned to normal.While he felt disappointed, he was also secretly relieved.If she really did love him ever since she was little, then his sins would be even heavier.He wouldn’t know how to face her anymore.“That’s for the best,” he said and covered her with her blanket. “Don’t worry. I’ll find a way to heal your eyes.”Fia closed her eyes, and she was covered in darkness.Only a blind person like her could know how it felt to see nothing but gray when she opened her eyes, and to see nothing but black when she closed them.She said in despair, “Maybe it’s just like what Esme had said. This is my punishment.”“Don’t say that!”She chuckled. “Do you remember the time that she pretended

“Can I get discharged, Sally?” Fia suddenly asked Sally after she was finished with her rounds.“Discharged?” Sally said with a frown. “This time, your injury is inside your brain and it has already formed a blood clot. The back of your head is also still swollen. It’s not suitable for you to get discharged.”Fia couldn’t stand needing to stay in the hospital all the time. “I don’t know when I can see things. I feel upset having to stay in the hospital every day.”Sally looked at Conrad and asked, “What do you say, Mr. Maxwell?”“Fia, why not stay in the hospital for now?”“No!” Fia took a deep breath. In her world of gray fog, all she could smell was the scent of disinfectant. It made her feel very stressed. “I want to get discharged, but I don’t mind coming back for a visit once every few days. I simply don’t want to stay here.”Sally thought about her suppressed emotions.“It’s fine if you want to get discharged. Mr. Maxwell, please speak with our director so that we can send
