Annie lowered her eyes. There was disgust in them.
She didn’t want toe at all!
Ever since she knew that this blind woman was Mr. Maxwell’s wife,
her torment never ended!
She was only making it worse for herself bying over and seeing him take such good care of the
woman in front of her.
And to think that Fia was her uncle’s daughter and that they both had the same blood flowing within
their veins… She felt ufortable just thinking about it!
She could take it if she was a beautiful, healthy, and gracefuldy! But, she was just a blind woman.
How could she be worthy of him?
Realizing how despicable her thoughts had be, Annie looked up nervously, worried that people
would see what she was thinking.
Luckily, that woman was blind. Mr. Maxwell wasn’t paying attention
to her either.
“Have some water, Fia.” Conrad held a ss of water and put the straw in before holding it close to
Fia’s mouth.
When Annie saw that, the envy within her grew even stronger!
A great man like him shouldn’t be spending his time taking care of the
blind!
Thinking of Fia’s rtionship with the Parkers, a n popped up in her mind. It excited her.
“Mr. Maxwell, let me help you take care of the madam.”
She looked innocent and kind, wanting to take the ss from
Conrad’s hand…
But before her hands could even touch Conrad, he had already moved away and said, “Scram!”
Annie then said miserably, “I just wanted to help you, seeing how busy you are. Not to mention that
Mrs. Maxwell is my uncle’s daughter. She’s a year older than me, so she’s my older cousin. As cousins,
it’s normal for me to take care of her.”
Fia wasying there, holding Conrad’s hand. She took two more sips before raising her head and
looking at Annie’s blurry face. “Thanks foring to visit me, Miss Parker. Have a seat. No need to
take care of me… My husband is here.”
Annie bit her lips and sat at the side, watching how Conrad helped Fia with her drink and then wiped
her lips with his handkerchief.
She held her hands tightly. She had to endure! It was good that Fia was a member of the Parker
household. She could use this chance to
get close to Conrad.
She could never believe that she was worse than a blind woman!
“Miss Parker, you’re afraid of my husband?” Fia smiled faintly as she looked at the white shadow.
“I’m just an employee. It’s normal that I’m afraid of my boss.” Seemed like Annie was very afraid of
Conrad. She eyed him once before lowering her head.
“Conrad might look scary, but he listens to reason. You’ll be fine as long as you don’t start any trouble
with him.”
Fia was quite gentle, but it sounded different to Annie. It sounded like Fia was warning her.

Annie straightened the wrinkles on her skirt and tilted her head as she looked at Fia, who was also
looking back at her as shey on the bed.
“It looks quite hard for you toy like that.”
“I have wounds on my back. I have to lie down on my stomach.”
Annie looked at Conrad carefully and said to her, “I’ll chat with you for a while.”
“Sure,” Fia said.
Conrad looked at Fia. He didn’t believe that she and Annie had anything to talk about.
“Do you want to know about my uncle? I can tell you about him,” Annie said.
Fia frowned and said, “I don’t want to know anything about the Parkers, Miss Parker. I just wanted to
ask you if you’re doing alright in thepany.”
“I’m doing alright. Everyone in the department treats me very well.”
“Ah. You never saw any of your seniors bullying a junior?”
“No,” Annie answered honestly as she quickly nced at Conrad, who was looking at Fia.
Fia’s heart sank when she heard the woman’s innocent voice. A woman like that… would always have
to endure a bit of harassment no matter where she worked.
Those who didn’t get harassed were usually quite good at socializing. And those that were especially
good would have skills that someone innocent wouldn’t have.
