Fia gave it a thought. He was right. She could see her mother’s silhouette all over the place. She couldn’t stay there.But she felt reluctant to sell it too.She did as her mother had asked and spread her ashes at Mount Reditus. The apartment was the only place left that she could go to if she missed her.When Conrad saw that she remained silent, he said, “If you want to keep an escape route for yourself, I can buy a bigger one for you.”“We’ll talk about this later. Let me down ahead.”“I’ll go with you.”Conrad drove his car into Koi Gardens.When the two of them took the elevator up from the basement level, the elevator stopped on the first floor. The two men outside were stunned.“You’re back, Fia.” Jason greeted Fia.Fia nodded to the two of them and moved to the side. “Come in.”Kent noticed Conrad’s cold eyes and wanted to brighten up the atmosphere. “Someone like you is also staying here?”“Does that have anything to do with you?”Kent simply shrugged when he looke
“Others?” Conrad’s amber eyes felt like they could spew out flames. “You mean him, don’t you?”Fia kept on trying to pry away his hand. “I don’t want to talk to you! Let go of me!”“You like him, don’t you?! You don’t want him getting closer to another woman!”Fia could feel her ears echoing as her heart trembled. All the warmth she got from him back at the stables shattered.He was a dog… A rabid dog!“Let her go!” When Jason saw that where Conrad was holding Fia was getting red, he grabbed Conrad’s arm.“Scram!”Conrad let go of Fia and hurled a punch at Jason.“Hey! What are you doing?! Stop fighting!” Kent stood between both of them, stopping Conrad.He then yelled at Fia, “Mrs. Maxwell, please stop your husband! Why does he look like a madman?! Argh!”Conrad slammed his fist right at Kent’s face before jumping at Jason.Very quickly, the two men started fighting in the corridor.Fia’s headache intensified and she screamed, “If you continue this, we’ll divorce!”Conrad
“Jase, what was that all about? She’s someone else’s wife and she doesn’t love you!” Kent patted Jason’s shoulder.“I’m fine.” Jason moved his hand away and opened his apartment door. He glanced at the opposite apartment and went in.Kent looked at Fia’s apartment and sighed. “What the hell is with this relationship?”Fia remembered how Conrad carried Esme and left. She was feeling ill and wanted to throw up.She drank three glasses of water, wanting to suppress that feeling, but her stomach felt bloated instead.She then sat on the sofa and switched on the television. She took out her phone and gave Conrad’s number a call.“Hello?”He didn’t sound very gentle at all.Fia copied how Esme would talk to him and said, “Conrad, my stomach doesn’t feel well and I want to throw up. Can you come back and accompany me?”“Tell your Doctor Evans to accompany you!”With that, he hung up.Fia could feel her entire body shaking as she felt chills in her bones.She could hear the thumpin
Once Fia’s condition had stabilized, Sally looked at the three men in the ward and said, “All of you, leave. Let Ms. Lawson rest.”“What happened to her?” Conrad asked.Sally snarled, showing how much disdain she had for him.“I did a test on Ms. Lawson earlier and already told you that she has mild depression. I don’t know what she went through for her to emotionally crash today.“What happened to her was not only because of her depression but because she wanted to fight off the pain inside of her… Even if that meant biting off her own tongue. Her condition is very bad. Give it enough time and she’ll emotionally collapse!”The more Sally explained, the more stirred up she became. She stared at Conrad, “Did you provoke her, Mr. Maxwell?”“We’re doing… quite well lately,” Conrad said.Jason gave him an angry glare. “Quite well? By leaving her alone while you left with your lover?”“You hurt Esme. I was simply sending her to the hospital!”And then, he remembered the call. At
“Sure.”“Let's go together right now, alright?”Esme was thinking that by doing the dinner tonight, she would be able to worsen the friction between him and Fia!However, she didn’t expect Conrad to refuse. “Not today.”“Why not today, Conrad? You don’t want to be cut off from me, do you? Is it because Fia forces you?”“She’s not like that. Fia’s been admitted and I need to take care of her.”Esme was stunned. When she saw that he was going to leave, she yelled, “Who’s going to take care of me?!”“She’s my wife. I have the duty to take care of her. As for you, I’ll call someone from your household to have them take care of you.” With that Conrad left without any hesitation.Cough!Fia opened her eyes and choked on her own blood.“Here, spit it here.”Conrad helped her up with one hand while holding the bin with the other.Fia looked at him with calm eyes and spat into the bin.“Thank you.”Her education made her instinctively thank him.“I’m your husband. I’m simply doin
Jason didn’t hide it from Fia and he explained everything to her.Fia took a gulp of water and put down the glass. There was fear in her eyes.“What will happen if this… If this continues?”“No matter what happens, don’t be too sad for anyone or anything. You need to accept it and let it go in time. Don’t keep on dwelling on it. Most importantly, you have to take initiative and work with your doctor on your treatment.”“I understand. Can you book me in with a doctor?”“Doctor Hall will do. She’s a good doctor.”“Isn’t she a doctor from the gynecology department?”“She’s also the director of our hospital’s psychology department. She knows her stuff when it comes to psychology.”“Sure. Doctor Hall it is then.”Jason then said, “Come here once a week. You must come every week.”Fia bit her lips and said, “Is there anything else that I need to pay attention to?”“Tell Doctor Hall what you can’t tell anyone else. She’ll help you. I’ll share with you her private number and Faceboo
“My sickness can’t be cured by staying in the hospital!”Conrad choked. “I won’t make you angry again.”Fia scoffed. “I won’t put my hopes on you, Mr. Maxwell!”There were plenty of people waiting by the window to process the hospital’s discharge procedure. Conrad noticed that the people in front of and behind her were men. They even started flirting with her.He couldn’t stand there any longer and walked over, taking her bill and ID.“Wait for me over there, honey.”Fia glared at him coldly and left the crowd.It was not because she wanted to give him a chance to show off, but she simply didn’t want to waste her time with the two men.It was already quite annoying waiting in line. And the two men kept on chatting with her. She didn’t say anything and they also didn’t stop chatting.Conrad stood where she did just now. The men looked at him and they were shaken. No wonder that beauty didn’t want to pay them any attention… She had found herself a pretty face!The man in front
“Someone’s jumping off the building!”“Seriously?”“What do you mean by that? She’s already sitting by the window. She’s definitely trying to jump!”Conrad stopped and turned to look at the hospital’s inpatient department.Esme was sitting by the window in her dress and her long hair. She was very eye-catching.Fia saw it too and simply smiled coldly on his shoulders.“Put me down.”Conrad put her down, took out his phone, and made a call.Esme had put her phone by the window. When it rang, a smile appeared on her face.“Hello? Conrad?”“What are you doing? Get down from the window!” Conrad looked at her fiercely.Everyone realized what was happening and gathered under the hospital.“You don’t want me anymore, Conrad. What’s the point of me living?”“Didn’t you say that we’ll separate in peace? What’s wrong with you right now?!”“Conrad… I’m a patient. I was almost raped, and the doctor said that I’m emotionally unstable. Have you forgotten? You can’t trust someone that’s
