Chapter 371
Fla avoided her question and said with a smile, “I’m the one who should apologize to you, Eileen.”
“I can’t finish the other two dresses now that I’m like this.”
Eileen frowned and she couldn’t hold it anymore as tears flowed down her face silently.
Even now she still remembered the dresses.
“Don’t worry, Eileen. I’ll ask Conrad about it later. He has plenty of talented staff in his company. I’ll somehow send
the designs to him and get those people in his company to complete them for you.”
“No need. You already finished one, right? I’ll wait for your eyes to recover so you can complete the other two.”
Fia paused and mumbled, “I don’t know when that’ll be.”
After Conrad left the hospital, he drove to River Fane again.
He needed to find Esme. Even if she was dead, it was still something that he could give Fia!
“You’re here, sir!” Silas ran over when he saw the car stop by the roadside.
“Found anyone?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSilas shook his head. “We found one of the officers‘ bodies. There were some burns on him caused by the explosion
from the bus. He was the officer driving the bus.”
Conrad took a deep breath. “How many people were there on the bus?”
“Three officers and Ms. Manning. We still haven’t found the other two officers and Ms. Manning.”
“Continue with the search!” Conrad looked at the river and said, “There must at least be a piece of bone down
there!”
Silas nodded and called Tiger to tell him to add more personnel to the search.
When he hung up, he saw two women standing not too far away. He looked at the one wearing a hat and a mask
and quickly looked at the other.
She was wearing a black dress. Her hair was scattered on her pale face and it was easy to see that she was
mentally unwell.
“Sir. Madam and Ms. Reid are here!”
When Conrad heard that, he looked in the direction that Silas was looking and saw Fia.
Her face was filled with sorrow as she looked blankly toward the River Fane.
Eileen held her hand tightly, whispering something into her ear.
“Keep an eye on things!” He said to Silas before running toward Fia.
Despite the noisy surroundings, Fia could still hear the footsteps approaching her. Before Conrad even opened his
mouth, she turned and looked at him.
However, because she couldn’t see where he was, she was looking at the air about 45 degrees away from him.
Conrad was standing in front of her. As he looked at how pale her face was and how hard she tried to
focus her sight on him but instead looked at the air next to him, his heart ached like something stabbed him.
It was painful and frustrating.
“Do you feel sad?” Fia asked.
Conrad frowned, not knowing what to say.
“You did everything you could to save her from the court, yet personally saw the bus explode and fall into the
river… Do you feel sad? Sad that you gave up all the evidence to prove her crime?”
“Who told you that I saw what happened myself?”
Fia smiled. “After you left the ward, I told Eileen to switch on the television. Then, I heard it from the reporters
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhosting the local news. He made it sound so believable… And even explained how touching your love story was.”
Her voice was cold. “Oh, right. The reporter even said that she knew what she did was wrong, and she chose to
surrender and kill herself when she refused to leave with your help. And they said that I, Fia Lawson, is the
homewrecker. That I’m the queen that forced your first love to her death! Haha! How interesting!”
“It’s okay, Fia.” Eileen held Fia in her arms. She could feel her body slowly becoming cold as she trembled, and she
hugged her even tighter. “Let’s go back to the hospital!”
“No… The wind here is stronger. It’s not that hot. I feel very comfortable here.” Fia raised her head as she
imagined the blue sky and white clouds above her.
“I wonder if I feel better staying here because this place is the place she killed herself.” She purposely said it in a
cold way, trying to provoke a reaction from Conrad.
It would be best if she could tear apart his disguise, to show her how sad he was, and beg her to return.
his lover.
Then, she could let herself drown in the depths even deeper.
Perhaps, it would be less painful that way.
