Fia looked at the small window on the wall above her. No wonder she was so hungry. The sky had
already. darkened.
That Priscilla Manning was obviously hostile toward her. She wondered if anyone would send her any
food.
Perhaps she would say that she had already eaten?
That meant she would have to go hungry today!
No! She couldn’t wait like a fool and went hungry. The baby wouldn’t be able to survive for long.
She tried to open the door and noticed that she couldn’t. All she could do was bang on it.
It was already evening. A lot of the officers had gone for dinner while those who were on duty were in
front of the station. No one paid any attention to her.
She hit at the door till she slid down and sat on the floor. She was so hungry that she had no more
strength.
“A pregnant woman is so useless,” she said as she touched her stomach. “I’m sorry, my baby. Mommy
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtis so useless.”
She sat by the door when she heard footsteps coming from outside. She happily stood up and the door
was opened. She was so shocked that she took a few steps back.
She was worried that her stomach would get hit, but she didn’t expect to almost fall with a misstep.
“Careful!”
“Evans?” Fia instinctively held Jason’s arm and let out a sigh of relief. “Luckily it’s you.”
Jason helped her sit in her wheelchair. “Why are you sleeping next to the door? What would happen if
someone knocked into you?”
“I’m hungry. But no one cared when I knocked on the door.”
Jason frowned and said, “They didn’t give you any food?”
“One of the officers is an old acquaintance of mine. She seems to have some resentment toward me,
but she’s also the officer tasked with looking after me,”
“She harassed you?”
“Not exactly.” Fia didn’t want to say anything to worry Jason. She was already in a lot of trouble.
Seeing that she didn’t say anything, Jason didn’t ask anything else and gave her the takeout.
“I got this from the hospital. Have a bite.”
“Nice. To be honest, the food from your hospital is quite nice.”
“If you like it, I’ll bring some for you every day.”
“Thank you!” Fia accepted the food. Just as she was munching happily, she sensed someone looking
at her with dreadful eyes.
She turned around and looked before frowning.
Conrad was so angry that he threw the container in his hand away before leaving.
What was that?
Did she have to wait until he brought her food? And she couldn’t eat food from someone else?
If he didn’t come, was she supposed to just starve to death?
Jason stood up and didn’t say anything while he prepared to clean up the outside of the door.
When he came back, Fia was done eating and he cleaned her container too.
“How did you come in?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“My dad knows someone in the station. He let me in.”
“Your dad…” Fia remembered something and the smile on his face froze.
“I’m sorry Fia, for hiding it from you.”
Fia frowned and looked at Jason before giving him a gentle smile. “We don’t have the right to choose
our birth parents. You did nothing wrong.”
The misery in Jason’s eyes was dispelled, replaced with tenderness.
“Thank you, Fia.”
“What is there for you to thank me for? I’m the one who’s always disturbing you.”
“You didn’t judge me just because of my origin.”
Fia became much more serious, but the gentleness in her eyes remained. “Evans, you’re a gentleman
and you’ve never been affected by your birth family. Once someone gets to know you, they’ll naturally
be blown away by you.”
Jason was stunned and stared at her.
Every smile she made left an everlasting impression in his mind, and he began to complain about how
Fate was being so fickle and unfair again.
If he had met her first, he would protect her forever. He would never betray her.
