Chapter 373
Once she was ready, he helped her with her seatbelt.
Fia smelled the familiar fragrance in his car. It was the slight scent of the ocean. She would feel relaxed every time
she sat in his car.
And now that she couldn’t see, that feeling was even stronger.
Conrad got into the driver’s seat. He wasn’t in a hurry to drive away, so he turned around to look at her.
Her eyes were wider than usual. He didn’t know if it was because she wanted to see this world clearer now that she
couldn’t see anything.
“Are you afraid, Fia?” He couldn’t help but ask. She had been on high alert since he saw her. She didn’t show any
signs of being afraid.
Fia could feel her body tense up as the hands and her feet curled into fists.
All she could see was an endless patch of gray and it amplified her sense of hearing.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOnly the blind could feel how she was feeling.
But she didn’t want to cry. She didn’t want to throw a tantrum.
Those were the most pointless reactions to have.
“Please drive. Eileen’s going to be worried about me.” She didn’t want to answer Conrad’s questions.
Even if she was afraid, she would not show it to him.
Just like she had never shown him when she wasn’t in a good mood.
She could make it alone.
“I don’t want you to do it alone, Fia. You’re not alone.” Conrad carefully bent over and looked at her emotionless
face. He couldn’t help but extend his hand to touch her.

Fia instinctively moved away. But, she felt someone pulling her into his arms in that world of gray.
She fought back but he shushed her and said, “Fia, only when you promise to be my wife forever will I help Eileen
get her freedom.

“That’s why you can’t push me away. We’re husband and wife. We should be together!”
Fia’s heart trembled as she said, “You won’t look for her? If she’s alive, she must be waiting for you to save her.”
“No matter if she’s alive or dead, she has nothing to do with me! The reason I want to find her is to get her to
apologize to you and do everything she has ever done to you back to her!”
When the man’s firm voice entered her ears, it brought life to her blood and heart.
Something seemed to want to bloom in her barren and icy heart.
Fia sensed the warmth of his caress, yet she still couldn’t see anything. Her heart instantly turned cold and she
snuffed out that little feeling she had.
“The injuries that I’ve suffered, the pain that I had… They’re not caused by her alone. You… You gave her the

She stopped fighting. Conrad felt like he was holding a statue. Emotionless. Lifeless.
He let her go and helped her put her hair by her ears.
“Let’s go back to the hospital. I found a few famous specialists to look at your eyes.”
Fla’s empty eyes blinked as her fists tightened.
She didn’t dare to have too much hope. For someone as unfortunate as her, only when she expected little would
she not drown in her own disappointment and despair.
Fia was like a walking corpse as the doctors diagnosed her and she answered their questions.
After that, Conrad told Eileen to take good care of her while he and the doctors went to the office to discuss her
eyes.
Eileen was just about to close the door when Jason entered.
“Aren’t you going to listen to what they say, doctor?”
“There’s something I want to speak to her about.”
When Eileen saw that Fia was simply sitting there without getting angry, she said, “Fine. Do it quickly though. Don’t
let Conrad know about it.”
With that, she walked out and closed the door, guarding from the outside.
