    “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 nket.


    “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 ck when she closed them.


    She said in despair, “Maybe it’s just like what Esme had said. This is my punishment.”N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    “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 ident. 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 usation 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 ident? 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 ording to her ns. 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 n?


    “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 nothing 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 iplete 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 be just like him.


    “When the truth came out, my entire world seemed to have crumbled.” He tried to exin 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.”
