Chapter 552
A few minutes after Silas left, someone knocked on the door again.
Conrad, upon hearing this, responded calmly, “Come in.”
The tall and muscular 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.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFia 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 a coma.
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 blamed 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 plans for
them, and they went separate ways. Echo regretted how brash and thoughtless they were for having ended their
relationship the way it did. Yet, problems kept piling up as their fight worsened.
“I can’t be with you anymore. But if he does come looking for you, if he treats you well, then go home with him.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmConrad 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.
Silas mentioned that the motorbike had no registration plate 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 place, 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
