    “I just want to see them from a distance. I won’t show myself.”


    Peter gave it a thought before touching her red lips lightly. Then, he said in a frigid voice, “I already


    promised you that I’ll send them to a safe ce to live the rest of their lives in peace. What else do you


    want?”


    Esme couldn’t say anything.


    “If you don’t obey me, they’ll have to live on the streets once they’ve lost my protection.”


    Esme remembered how heartless Conrad was. Not only did he destroy everything the Mannings had,


    but her family also owed arge amount of debt. If they were found by their debtors, she couldn’t


    imagine what they would be forced to go through.


    “Fine. I won’t see them. But you have to let me know that they’re safe.”


    “Of course.” Peter took out his phone and clicked on a security


    camera app.


    Shown on screen was a small countryside cottage. There were all sorts of vegetables and flowers


    inside the garden.


    Esme saw how aged her parents had be. Her father was bending his back together with her


    mother, taking care of the crops.


    The man’s cold, threatening voice rang in her ears. “Whether they can safely live the rest of their lives


    depends on how loyal you are to me.”Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Esme bit her lips and said, “I won’t betray you.”


    “Hahaha!” Peterughed and stroked her spine. “You don’t have the courage to betray me anyway.”


    The next day, Fia woke up early in the morning. She kicked the man


    next to her.


    Conrad raised her head and looked at her. “You want a drink?”


    “Here’s the bad news for you.”


    “Huh?”


    “My period’s here.”


    Which meant that she wasn’t pregnant.


    It was indeed bad news for Conrad.


    He wanted to have a child with her.


    “It’s fine. We have time.” He got up and grabbed a pad for her.


    Because of her period, Fia had wasted about five days doing nothing. She didn’t have much strength


    and she couldn’t concentrate. So, all she did was lie around.


    Even when she went to thepany with Conrad, she would lie down on the sofa or the lounge.


    She felt that she was discharging a bit too much during her period, and she felt quite powerless.


    After her period was over, she pushed Conrad the next morning.


    “I want to go to the hospital for a checkup. Can you ask Ss or Tiger to apany me?”


    “Can’t I apany you?” Conrad’s tone was a bit deep. He didn’t like the fact that if she needed to do


    something, she would always ask Ss or Tiger to apany her, but not him.


    “Don’t you have an important meeting at thepany today?”


    “I can dy it.”


    simply let him help her wash up without really expecting him tomit. They then went to the


    hospital after breakfast.


    They went over to the gynecology department to see Sally.


    When Sally saw her, she let out a wide smile.


    “Don’t tell me you’re pregnant.”


    “No. It’s just that I’m discharging a bit too much during my period and


    feel quite weak.”


    Sally nodded and said, “Let’s do the usual blood test and an


    ultrasound.”


    Fia said, “No need for ultrasound. I’m not pregnant.”


    “You should do a test anyway.” Sally gave Conrad a nce. “I’ll do her checkup for now. You go and


    pay and get a number for the


    ultrasound.”


    “Sure.” Conrad didn’t suspect anything and went over to line up for


    the ultrasound. It was a normal procedure.


    Not to mention that a lot of people would go for the ultrasound, so he needed to line up earlier. Since


    Fia didn’t like him to use his connections to skip the queue, he had no choice but to line up and


    register.


    After Conrad was away, Fia quickly told Sally, “Ever since my eyes could see something blurryst


    time, it didn’t improve any further.”


    “The specialist is here today. I’ll take you there.”


    “Thanks.”


    “You’re wee,” Sally said and then called her assistant to assist her while she was away for the


    moment.


    While she led Fia to the ophthalmology department, she asked, “Have


    you been in touch with Jasontely?”


    “Not really.”


    “I’m worried about somethingtely.


    “About what?”


    “I’m acquainted with the Thomas family in Gryphon. Several days ago, I apanied my mother to


    Thomas‘ for a visit. They said that their second daughter wasing home soon and they want her to


    meet with Jason. Seems like the parents from both sides wanted to matchmake them.“
