Chapter 26
Fia looked at the floor and said, "Thanks, doctor."
Jason closed the water bottle and put it into his coat pocket. He then took out the packet of plums that hadn't been opened yet.
"Have some of these. It'll make you feel better."
Fia looked at the package in his hand with disinterest. She didn't know what to say, so she simply asked, "
What's this?"
The man carefully explained, "Dried plums. Something that most pregnant women like to eat. This brand is known to be very clean so you don't have to worry if it's bad for your child."
With that, he tore open the package and then gave it to her.
"Here, give it a try?"
Fia took one. The plums were individually packaged.
Jason took the small packed plum from her hand and tore it open. He then pushed it out and held it to her mouth.
"Open."
Fia opened her mouth and ate the dried plum in Jason's hand in a daze.
It was so sour... So sour that it made her remember something from her childhood.
She was bullied a lot by kids her age because she had no father.
Her schoolmates surrounded her one day when she was going to school and stole her school bag.
They dumped the books from her bag and stepped on them. She didn't fight back.
Because she was afraid.
She had tried to fight back but she would always end up being bullied.
After that, she learned from her experience. If she stopped fighting back, they would find it disinteresting and would leave on their own. However, on that particular day, they searched her pockets and took the snacks that her mom prepared for her.
She cried and rammed into one girl and tore at her hair.
In the end, they pressed her to the ground. They beat her face and kicked her stomach. It was so painful. However, Conrad appeared.
He was riding on a bicycle and he stopped with one foot on the ground, fire burning in his amber eyes.
"If
any of you touch her again, I'll ride the bike into you!" He roared and cycled right toward them. Everyone ran away in fear.
"Stop crying! You're so ugly when you cry!"
He yelled at her while he sat on the bike.
"Stand up. If they come back, they'll bully you again!"
She crawled back up from the ground and grabbed her snacks. They were all messed up because they had been stepped on.
And so, she started crying. She couldn't stop no matter how hard she tried.
The boy got off his bicycle and walked toward her. He then grabbed the snack in her hand and opened the packet.
He pushed the dried fruit out from its packet.
"Here, it's not poisoned. Eat it! You won't die so stop crying!"
She sniffed and bit the dried fruit... Then she broke into a smile.
The young Conrad gave her a disdainful look and threw that packet away.
"I hate useless little girls like you the most. If it isn't because you're Esme's cousin, I wouldn't even care about you!"
From that day onward, no one bullied her ever again.
That was because the boy told the bullies in school, "The crybaby is my sister. If any of you raise even a finger at her, I'll fight you to the death!" Conrad was known to have good results and was from a good family. He was known not to be trifled with.
After he said that, no one dared to bully her again. Many girls even wanted to befriend her and give her snacks, to help them deliver love letters. She had received hundreds of them, but she didn't give him a single one.
It's been years, and he would never know.
That the little crybaby had stopped so many romances for him.
