Fia clenched her palms. "I'm sorry. I'm not used to giving my name to strangers."
Sally approached her hurriedly. "Do you... Do you find me familiar?"
For a moment, Fia did not know how to respond.
Sally was even bolder than Eileen.
Well, that made sense. She had always been a doctor, always saving lives and helping the needy, so her social circle was quite simple.
Eileen was different. She had seen countless tricks and deceptions, and therefore wasn't so emotionally expressive.
Sally looked at Irene. Her small face with big eyes, dark and bright, were quite similar to Fia’s eyes.
However, this woman in front of her was significantly different from Fia.
Different skin color, different eyes, and most notably, a different demeanor.
"You... You look somewhat like a friend of mine."
"Really? I don't know if I should be honored or offended." Fia's tone turned somewhat cold. "Since I came here, quite a few people have said the same thing to me."
"Have others said this too?" Sally stared at Fia. "Who have you met?"
She really wished to see the expression that Fia used to have on her face.
Sincere and gentle.
But, there was not a hint of it.
Irritated and cold, Fia said, "Do you have issues with your sexual orientation?"
Sally felt hurt. She had walked in with expectations, but they were all extinguished in an instant.
"I thought of a friend of mine when I saw your silhouette. I really miss her,"
"Although you're not my friend, I feel warmth from you. If you or your child need anything in the future, you can contact me. My phone number is..."
Before Sally could finish, Fia turned around and stared at her coldly.
"Are you cursing us?"
"No, that's not what I meant. I just hoped..."
"Who the hell goes looking for a doctor when they're fine?" Fia sneered. "If you miss your friend so much, go find her! Don't seek validation from strangers!"
"I want to find her." Sally lowered her head sadly. "We all want to find her, but we can't."
Seeing her expression, Fia’s heart ached, but she could only hold Irene tighter in her arms.
"I always thought that if Esme could come back, maybe she could too. I even suspected there was a connection with my brother, but he said there wasn't..."

The readers' comments on the novel: Stop It, She’s Remarrying (Fia and Conrad)
I had known that the ending would be like this , I would never had read this book. It didn’t have a right ending at all. Made no sense. Don’t waste your time....
Evil should never win and Lucifer has harmed far to many....
This should not end this way. Fia, rather than following Lucifer’s evil path should reflect and realize that she has always loved Conrad and he has always loved her. Their problems were due to the interference of others, Beryl, Esme etc . Since she is the only one that can approach Lucifer, she and Peter should cooperate with each other, kill Lucifer and evil Beryl, Peter can remove the toxins/ poison from everyone and each will be able to live normal lives without interfering with others relationship's. The children deserve their real father who will love them dearly and provide and protect them with the life they deserve. Gia has been a fool since the beginning and has believed everyone but her beloved husband. Please end this on a good note, that is why we all read these stories, everyone loves a happy ending....
