Chapter 378
“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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtnothing 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 to be beaten and blinded in one eye? In the end, she
was fine. Instead, I’m the one that became blind. Isn’t that her curse?”
When Conrad remembered that, he felt immense guilt.
Fia intentionally brought it up saying, “Despite pretending to be blind in one eye and covering her eyes. with a white
linen, she was still very beautiful when she openly announced her engagement with you in that veil of hers.”
That day, she was involved in that car accident. As the car flipped over, she looked outside the car as its windows
shattered and the pain in her belly slowly overtook her.
She would always remember the image on the screen.
That was for the best. She could always remind herself not to fall into Conrad’s schemes anymore!
“I’m sorry.”
Conrad frowned. “I know that there’s nothing that I can say to make you believe me. The only reason I agreed to
that is to buy time and so that they would withdraw their accusation and get you out of the station.”
“Get me out of the station? And the moment they did that, I was caught in a car accident? And my baby died in my
womb?”
Fia’s eyes were closed, but she still couldn’t stop her tears from flowing from the edge of her eyes.
“Now that I think about it, everything happened according to her plans. She wanted the baby to die. She wanted me
to die too. But I have to say that I’m suspicious, whether or not this was also part of your plan?
“You told me that you didn’t like children earlier. Perhaps, I shouldn’t have let anyone know about this. Then, it
wouldn’t have troubled you and you wouldn’t have needed to find ways to make me lose my baby.
“Conrad, be honest with me. Have you ever wanted me to abort my baby when you knew I was pregnant?”
Conrad became tense. He had never thought that he was someone so vicious and heartless to her.
“Are you admitting it with your silence?”
“No!” Conrad replied angrily. “Before I knew you were pregnant, I admit that I didn’t wish for a baby. But once I
found out you’re pregnant, I had never ever thought of wanting you to get an abortion!”
“Ha, really? I don’t even know if I can trust you,” Fia said. Her eyes remained closed, but the tears were rolling even
stronger.
“I’m blind now and I can’t do anything for you anymore. I don’t know why you must make me your wife?”
Conrad suddenly choked up, as if he was being forced underwater.
He wanted to scream and yell, but the moment he opened his mouth, the water would go into his throat. There was
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmnothing that he could do.
Fia was being very extreme and pessimistic and believed that he was working with Esme to get her killed.
He also had that same mentality once.
When he was little, his parents never loved him. He grew up in an incomplete family. No matter how his grandfather
loved him, he had to be independent.
All the voices that surrounded him were jeers and denial. He had the feeling that everyone wanted to attack him,
wanting to see him fall and unable to climb up.
That was why he was like a mad dog when he was a teenager. Even if others didn’t attack him, he would
attack others!
He didn’t want Fia to become just like him.
“When the truth came out, my entire world seemed to have crumbled.” He tried to explain his feelings to
her.
“My trust toward Esme… Or rather, my indulgence, caused you to be on the verge of death multiple times and be
both physically and mentally injured. I was regretful… I was also scared. I wished that we could do. it all over again
and feel what you felt a hundred times over.”
