Chapter 552
A few minutes after Ss left, someone knocked on the door again.
Conrad, upon hearing this, responded calmly, “Come in.”
The tall and muscr visitor had a conflicted expression on his face.
“Fia, are you not going to pay him a visit?”
It was Finn.
Fia, still tightly in Conrad’s embrace, bit her lips. Given the circumstances, she could not show
animosity toward the Parkers.
Conrad lightly tapped her back. “We are thankful for Mr. Parker’s noble act in saving my wife’s life. I’ll
personally visit him to extend our gratitude.”
Finn sighed. “Fia, I know you’ve lived with your mother your whole life, and now you want nothing to do
with us. But please understand that we earnestly want the best for you.”
Fia grabbed Conrad’s waist tighter, not wanting to face Finn.
Conrad looked toward Finn and answered on her behalf, “She needs rest.”
Finn nodded. “Of course. Fia, don’t feel too pressured about it. We’ve gotten the best physicians flying
over from Lumenpolis. Your father will definitely be alright.”
Fia wanted to refute “He’s not my father!”, but then, she recalled Conall was still in aa.
She did not have the heart to say it.
After a while, Fia said, “Where’s the letter?”
A frown appeared on Conrad’s face. “It’s with me. Mrs. Whitley handed it to me earlier.”
“Read it for me, will you?”
“Sure.”
The letter detailed how Echo wanted her brothers to take care of Fia for her. She also mentioned
that after Fia had processed her death, the Lawson brothers were to tell her about her father.
She even added that Fia was still the little girl that she was not ready to let go, that she was still her
poor baby that needed much care. If the circumstances allowed it, she would like for Fia to return to her
birth father. With that, she would still have someone to take care of her, to protect
her.
Each sentence from the letter was full of a mother’s undying love for her child. She med herself for
not being able to provide a whole family for her little Fia.
“Fia, my sweet baby Fia… Sometimes I wonder if I’ve ever taken the wrong path in life. I wonder if I
should have asked him to stay. If I did, you would have a father who would love you with all his heart,
and he’d protect you with all he can.”
Then, she wrote about their story.
Echo and Conall were truly in love back then. They vowed to be together for life. Yet, fate had different
ns for them, and they went separate ways. Echo regretted how brash and thoughtless they were for
having ended their rtionship the way it did. Yet, problems kept piling up as their fight worsened.Original content from N?velDrama.Org.
“I can’t be with you anymore. But if he doese looking for you, if he treats you well, then go home
with him.”
Conrad tried to remain as calm as he could as he read the letter for his wife. However, the more he
read, the more she shook and trembled in his embrace. Her tears drenched his shirt over and
over.
He could not help but feel sorry for her.
“Conrad… That’s enough…” Fia blubbered.
Ss mentioned that the motorbike had no registration te and that the biker was wearing a full
helmet. After the incident, the biker rode all the way out of town. They knew this because the police
found the bike at the shore of River Fane.
Other than that, the perpetrator left no trace for them to find.
Rivér Fane, again.
Every time she heard the name of the ce, Fia always thought about Esme.
Were these all a coincidence? Was there someone behind all these? Fia felt dizzy as she thought
about this.
Conrad carefully folded the letter and put it in his pocket.
This was her mother’s letter. So, he better keep it safe because Fia might want to read it again.
“I want some peace and quiet,” Fia said softly. “If there’s any more visitors, please send them away.”
“Sure
