Chapter 135 Accompany Me on a Business Trip
Chapter 135 Accompany Me on a Business Trip
Janna didn't stay for long and left in a hurry. That day at the airport, after listening to Wyatt's words, Janna understood that she would be the haven for her granddaughter and great-grandchildren in the future.
This Darwin, perhaps there's still a gap between him and her. But how old is he?
Janna was very direct and not arrogant at all. She knew it was only a matter of time before Darwin surpassed her in terms of wealth and notoriety. Therefore, she couldn't let Darwin focus his attention on her. Otherwise, even if she took her granddaughter away, if he grew suspicious, he would come knocking sooner or later to snatch her back. As for the grievances he made her granddaughter suffer, she would calculate them behind the scenes and make him pay.
Fiona returned to the hospital room.
Ashton stared blankly out of the window.
“What’s wrong?” Fiona walked over and asked.
Ashton looked at Fiona and said, "Babe, you should leave soon, right?"
Fiona was slightly surprised, but she didn't say anything and remained silent, which was considered her approval.
Ashton curled her lips.
She came over and hugged Fiona, saying, "Once you leave, will we still have a chance to meet?"
"We will." Fiona patted her back and reassured her, "We definitely will."
“Okay!” Ashton was deeply saddened.
But she could also see that Fiona, who had been with her recently, was not happy.
In the evening, Darwin called. Fiona initially didn't want to answer. She was afraid he would go crazy and disturb others. "What?" She picked up the call with a cold tone.
"Come downstairs, accompany me on a business trip," he said.
"Ashton, she..." Fiona hadn't finished speaking when Darwin coldly interrupted, "You accompany me on a business trip, and I'll release Dagmar."
Fiona instinctively tightened her grip on the phone. Even Ashton could feel the change in her aura during that moment. "I want to see him first and confirm how he's doing," Fiona said coldly.
Thirty minutes later, they were back at the hospital where Fiona had stayed last time. In the special care ward. Darwin stood by the window and she saw Dagmar with bandages on both hands. Fiona furrowed her brows, almost burst into tears.
Dagmar seemed completely listless, sitting on the hospital bed with his head drooping, while a nurse took care of him. Not sure if he sensed something, he suddenly raised his head and looked around.
"Seen enough?" Darwin stood behind Fiona and asked coldly.
"You said, I accompany you on a business trip, and you'll release Dagmar!" Fiona looked at Darwin, gritting her teeth to confirm.
Darwin looked at her, under the calm surface, his heart was already shattered. When she looked at Dagmar, her gaze was full of tenderness and sorrow. But when she looked at him... It was as if she was looking at a monster, filled with nothing but hatred.
It didn’t matter as long as she’s by my side. Whether love or hate. Being by his side was enough.
"I keep my word," Darwin...
Okay, let's go," Fiona withdrew her gaze and walked straight ahead.
Darwin let out a sigh and followed behind her.
On the way to the airport, Bay City welcomed its first snowfall of the year.
Darwin glanced out of the window. Suddenly, he remembered that during the first snowfall last year, he was at Fiona's apartment. Fiona saw online that it had snowed. She immediately climbed out of his arms, ran to the balcony, and happily spun around in circles.
"Fiona, it's the first snow," Darwin said to Fiona.
Fiona didn't even look outside, she just casually scrolled through short videos on her phone and replied with an "Oh."
Darwin felt frustrated. "Don't you even ask where we're going on this business trip?" he asked, sounding a bit resentful.
"Anywhere will do, there's nothing worth asking," Fiona replied indifferently.
Darwin fell silent for a moment. "We're going to Asia City, it's warm there and you can take better care of yourself."
Fiona still didn't react.
Darwin clenched his fists tightly. According to his previous temper, regardless of whether he had done anything wrong before, he should have erupted by now. Yet in the end, he didn't. In silence, he began looking at the project materials that they were going to discuss. Darwin's rage never came.
Fiona was quite surprised. But it was just a fleeting surprise.
After nearly three hours of flying, Darwin's private plane landed at the warm Asia City Airport.
The driver there picked them up and immediately drove to Darwin's private island.
Fiona remembered that two years ago, he bought a large piece of land nearby, planning to develop a high-end island resort. This project was probably going to start. Fiona was afraid of the cold, and she was there when they bought the land that year. Upon careful thought, that period of time should be the year when Darwin pampered her the most after acquiring her.
Even after buying that piece of land, he said to her, "When the project starts, I'll reserve a private area. You're afraid of the cold, right? You can come here for winter from now on."
At that time, Fiona still had some innocence about her. Because of Darwin's casual remark, she was happy for many days. But a few days later, everything had changed. Perhaps Darwin realized that he had been too good to her. The long winter hadn't even passed when he gradually grew colder towards her. Apart from the passion in bed, he treated her like a stranger.
In the bathroom, Fiona soaked in the bathtub, and through the floor-to-ceiling windows, there was a vast expanse of jungle that should look beautiful during the day.
After her bath, Fiona went out wearing a loose robe.
Darwin also took a shower and sat on the sofa in his robe, his gaze fixed on something.
She only glanced at him before heading towards the bedroom.
"Fiona," Darwin called her.
Fiona frowned and looked at Darwin.
"My nails have gotten long..."
Darwin looked at Fiona, devoid of any CEO-like aura. Looking pitiful.
Fiona found it amusing. How could Darwin look pitiful? She saw only a pitiful facade he put on, all for the sake of achieving his own goals.
She walked over. Darwin handed her the nail clippers.
Fiona looked at the nail clippers. Suddenly, she recalled the times when she used to trim Darwin's nails. He was always indifferent, while she remained cautious. Fiona took them and sat down in front of him.
Darwin extended his hand to her. When Fiona started clipping his first finger, she deliberately exerted a bit more force.
"Ah..." Darwin gasped. A bead of blood immediately appeared on his finger.
"The light was too dim, I didn't notice..." Fiona looked at Darwin without a trace of pity, "Should I continue?" How could Darwin not know that she did it intentionally?
"Hmm, please continue." If it could ease her anger and make her treat herself better, why not!
Fiona quickly grabbed a couple of tissues and wiped away the blood from his fingertip, then continued cutting. At first, she felt a bit uneasy. But thinking back to that day, when she begged him not to kill her babies, Fiona became more skillful with each cut.
