Chatper 1231


    Chapter 1231


    “Ms. Sia, do you think he might die?” Eileen suddenly tossed a rather unexpected question at her.


    Fia frowned and answered, “He won’t die.”


    “He doesn’t deserve to die just yet. He didn’t even die five years ago.”


    Letting out a sigh, Eileen said, “We live in the same building now, Ms. Sia. My apartment is right below


    yours.”

    Fia kept quiet, not knowing how to answer her.


    “So, can I visit you now? Your children are asleep, right? So, I figured you’d have the time for a chat


    now.”


    Checking the clock on the wall, Fia said, “It’s almost 10PM. You should go to bed, Ms. Reid.”


    “Oh, it’s okay. You see, I’m a night owl. So, I can’t really sleep right now even if I lie on the bed. But if


    you’re feeling sleepy then… then perhaps we’ll chat some other time…”


    Hearing the dejected tone in Eileen’s voice, Fia could not help answering, “I don’t usually sleep that


    early either.”


    “So I can visit you now?”


    “Sure.”


    “Yay! You finally agreed!” Eileen was so happy that she jumped down from her sofa.


    “Ouch! Oww, that hurts!” When shended on the floor, her knee rammed against the coffee table,


    causing her great pain.


    “Hey! What’s wrong?” Fia’s heart skipped a beat hearing Eileen’s excruciating cry. She could not help


    but recall that one time this girl jumped off from a building for Victor.


    Eileen was indeed a strong, independent woman. However, behind that thick, impregnable wall, she


    was just as fragile as any girl, who always needed someone to treasure her, care for her.


    “Oh, it’s nothing. I knocked my knee against the coffee table just now. That’s all.” Eileen rolled up her


    jeans to check her knee. There was already a bluish bruise on her knee.


    Shrugging it off, Eileen said to the phone, “I’ll be at your ce in a sec! Wait for me!”


    Fia answered, “Sure. Take your time. There’s no rush.”


    Yet, Eileen being Eileen, she only took her phone with her when she stepped out of her apartment.


    When she arrived at Fia’s door, she was stunned by a solemn fact.


    “Oh no! I… I forgot to bring my keys with me. How will I return hometer?”

    Staring at Fia’s door, Eileen thought to herself, ‘Ms. Sia has a bad temper and is really cold to


    strangers. She wouldn’t let me stay for the night.”


    Suddenly, the door opened as Fia stepped out to meet Eileen.


    “Oh, you’re here. Why didn’t you knock?”


    “Well… Well, you see… I was so excited toe over that I forgot to bring my keys.” Eileen said in


    embarrassment, “Oh, I didn’t do this on purpose. Don’t worry. I’ll make a call and ask my personal


    assistant to fetch me the spare key.”


    “It’s gettingte. Let’s not trouble your assistant. You can stay overnight at my ce and ask her to


    fetch the key tomorrow morning.”


    Eileen stared at Fia’s cold, indifferent eyes and asked, “Really?”


    Fia turned and walked into the living room. “Yes, but you only get to sleep on the sofa.”


    “Oh, the sofa sounds good to me!” Eileen quickly followed her into the apartment.


    “Would you like a drink?”


    “Do you have wine?”


    (


    “}


    Fia furrowed her brows and said sternly, “Taking alcohol would damage your nerves. Aren’t you worried


    that you might not be able to act anymore?”


    “I’ll worry about it when that happens. What’s important is that we savor the present!”


    Fia rolled her eyes at Eileen and poured her a ss of water. “Here. You should drink more water, dear


    superstar!”


    Eileen’s eyes widened and stared at Fia. That sentence… that voice and tone… they sounded just like


    what Fia would say to her years ago.


    Yet, this woman… Ms. Sia was not Fia. Her face did not look simr to Fia’s.


    “Who… Who are you exactly?”


    Even Esme Manning, that wretched witch, got a second chance toe back with a new face. So,


    perhaps…! Eileen felt hope igniting in her heart.


    Fia looked at her and answered calmly, “My name is Sia Stewart.”


    “Are you only Sia Stewart?” Tears began streaming down Eileen’s eyes as she asked this question,


    almost like she was pleading.


    “Your words just now… They sounded just like what my best friend used to say to me. Your voices


    sound so alike.”


    Fia remained quiet as she looked at Eileen.


    If it were not for her having gone through a surgery on her vocal chord when she was younger, Fia


    would have asked Lucifer to change her voice too.


    However, due to her past surgery, doing so would most likely result in her bing mute.
