Fia nodded. “Sure. Let’s have a chat tomorrow.”
She believed that Barbara was a smart woman. She must have noticed something too.

“Have a good rest, Miss Thomas. Please let me know if you need anything else. I’ll make sure you have it.” With
that, she grabbed a pile of bills from her purse and stacked them neatly by the side of the bed.
When Mr. and Mrs. Thomas saw the stack of cash, their expression became brighter almost. immediately. There
were about twenty thousand dollars there, judging from their thickness.
Mrs. Thomas said, “Don’t think that this stack of cash will be enough to compensate Britney for her injury!”
Mr. Thomas continued, “That’s right! Mr. Maxwell must come personally tomorrow. I’ll wait for him here tomorrow.”
Fia lowered her head and let out a silent scoff. “Alright. I’ll take my leave for now. Please take good care of her.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe turned around and Barbara was just going to tell her to take the money back.
“Wait!” Britney called out to Fia first.
Fia turned around and asked, “What is it?”
“What’s the meaning of these flowers?!”
Fia looked at the flowers on her bedside table and gently said, “I’m so sorry for not being able to buy you real peach
blossoms. It’s not easy to get them in this season. Since you like the scent of peach blossoms, you should like this
too.”
“How do you know that I like peach blossoms?” Britney tried her best to control herself.
Fia narrowed her eyes as she stared at Britney. There was nothing wrong. Her voice was also different from Esme.
However, that kind of resentment wasn’t something that the “Britney Thomas” that Sally described could have.
“Would you like some chrysanthemum then? I’ll buy some for you next time I come to visit, alright?”
“No, I don’t!” Britney reflexively yelled and Barbara and her parents looked at her in shock.
Peter, who was standing at the side, stared at Fia with darkened eyes without alerting anyone.
As expected of a Parker! Despite her innocent look, she was quite smart!
“Britney… You liked chrysanthemums when you’re little.” Mrs. Thomas looked at her daughter, confused. “You’re
the one that planted all the different colored chrysanthemums in the backyard. Don’t you remember?”
Britney instantly became nervous and lowered her head, holding the wound that had already been bandaged.
“It hurts. Every time I say something, it hurts.”
She lay back down on the bed and pulled the blanket over her and said, “I’m a grown-up now. My tastes can
change.”
Mrs. Thomas was stunned as she turned to look at Mr. Thomas.
He then said, “Why are you looking at me like that? Chrysanthemums are flowers that are used only during funerals
anyway! It’s best if she doesn’t like them anymore! Have the servants get rid of them!
Mrs. Thomas was speechless. She loved chrysanthemums too!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBarbara frowned and said, “Dad, we’ve already planted them for so long. Why must we get rid of them now?”
Britney realized that she had exposed herself. She then said, “It’s not that I hate chrysanthemums. It’s just that I’m
in a bad mood because of the pain. I feel like everything’s not to my liking.”
Fia frowned. She didn’t feel like Britney said she didn’t like chrysanthemums because of her bad mood.
Britney pulled her blanket, and the two stacks of cash by the bedside fell to the ground.
She turned around and saw Peter who was standing by the window. His eyes were cold and vicious.
Instantly, she felt a chill down her spine, and she didn’t dare to throw a temper tantrum anymore.
“Take your money back. As a staff of Maxwell Corporation, it’s normal to do something like that for Mr. Maxwell,”
Britney said as she recovered her usual calm and gentle self.
Fia didn’t show off her status. She knelt down to pick up the two wads of cash and then put
them on the bedside table.
She didn’t want to say any honeyed words anymore. She should leave now that she was done testing her.
“Take care of yourself. I’m leaving.”
Sally, who had been silent for a while, glanced at her brother and Mr. and Mrs. Thomas. “I need to go check the
other patients. Let me know if you need me.
