The door opened and Fia opened her eyes. Then, she saw Conrad’s frowning face, as if the entire world owed him something.“Something wrong with the results?”“No!” Conrad said with a frown as he looked at Fia and then told her about his call with Eileen.Looking at how angry he was, she couldn’t help but ask, “Then, why did you call her and talk to her about this?”She remembered that he didn’t like Eileen.Conrad then sat on the chair in front of her bed with his legs folded together.“Because she’s your best friend. If something happens to her, you’ll get worried. I don’t want to be bothered about that.”“Oh.” Fia consoled him as she saw him getting angrier and angrier. “There are treatments for HDN. It isn’t that serious.”“But the baby is still so small… Any disease is too much!” Conrad paused. “Doctor Hall also told me that it’s easier for the mother to get uncontrolled bleeding.”“IThat can be solved too. The doctors will prepare the blood according to the mother’s circu
“What’s going on?” His tone was as cold as the Arctic winds.“The driver’s dead!”“Which driver?”“The truck driver that ran into the madam.”“What happened?”Silas looked at Fia who sat up. “Should we speak outside, sir?”“I can’t hear about it?” Fia asked in an upset tone.Conrad patted her head and said to Silas, “Just say it.”“A few minutes ago, he suddenly jumped out of the window. He was pronounced dead on the spot.”Conrad frowned and said, “Why did no one from the hospital tell us?”“Doctor Hall, Doctor Evans, the hospital director, the police, and the forensic team had all gone to investigate this!” Silas’s expression darkened. “I believe that this is a scheme… I just don’t know what the person behind this wants.Fia then said, “Aren’t the driver’s legs hurt? How did he get up the window?”“He used a chair to climb up the window. It is quite difficult. I wonder what made him so determined.”Conrad suddenly remembered the driver’s ill son. “How’s his son doing?”
Fia held Conrad’s arm tightly with refusal all over her face.He bent over to kiss her forehead and pulled her hand away.“Don’t worry, Fia. Wait for my return.”Fia sniffed. She didn’t raise her hand to grab his sleeve as she cried.Silas took a few steps after him before Conrad roared at him. “Go back and take good care of my wife or I’ll break your leg!”“…but sir!”“You’ve worked for me for years now. You know how I am!”Silas gritted his teeth and nodded.“Silas, I don’t need you here. Find someone to get him out of there!” Fia said with a firm expression on her face.Silas hesitated and said, “Don’t worry, madam. He’ll come back in one piece.”“I don’t need you to take care of me!”“Please, madam. Don’t make this hard on me. You know how he is, right? If I go against his direct orders, he is going to fire me.”Fia’s expression turned sour. “Since when has he ever suffered something like this?! He was well-taken care of since he was little!”Silas was stunned. He real
“Ah!”The woman screamed out in pain. Conrad let go and she knelt down in front of him.It was at this time that the light was suddenly turned on and he saw who it was.“It’s you?”Esme knelt in front of him with a pitiful expression on her face.“You almost killed me just now, Conrad.”There were terrifying fingerprints around her long, pale neck.Conrad frowned and said, “I didn’t know it was you.”He looked around the room and realized that it was the same room that Fia was in before. It also had a washroom.However, why did they lock him up together with Esme?“Is there something you want to tell me?” His voice was cold.“I… I didn’t know who came in just now. I just wanted to move to the door. I didn’t know you were there either.”“You didn’t know?” Conrad looked at her in disbelief. “You didn’t know or did you deliberately get close to me?”“Conrad, how can you think that of me? I’m not that wicked,” Esme said, still kneeling on the ground as carefully grabbed Conrad
“Hi, Fia. How are you doing lately?”“Where did you get that picture!” Fia angrily asked.Priscilla laughed. “What? Anxious?”“How did the two of them get together?!”“Make a guess?”“Priscilla, what are you up to?!”“I would like to invite you to come and watch a stream with me. How about it?”Fia had just wanted to say yes, but she remembered what Silas told him before he left.“I’m sorry. Not interested!”“Really, now? Isn’t it because you’re injured and he can’t touch you, so he can only find someone else outside?”“He’s not someone like that!” Fia was so angry that her chest was hurting.“Oh, right. I heard you had a miscarriage and lost your child. How very sad. Despite being so careful in the interrogation room, you still encountered something terrible as soon as you stepped outside.“Oh, am I not supposed to say something about this? Fia, it’s not that I want to criticize you, but it seems like even the gods can’t let you simply steal someone else’s boyfriend. That’
“Silly girl. Why are you so worried? Conrad’s a man. If he doesn't want to, no one can force herself on him, right?”“Eileen, you didn’t know what happened. She’s drugged him before. If she had increased the dose…”The more Fia thought about it, the more worried she became.Eileen became serious and said, “Why not get someone else to visit him?”“Who? Who can visit him?”About twenty minutes later, at the police station.Jason walked into the station wearing his coat and carrying a medical kit.“I want to see Conrad Maxwell!”When the officer responsible for registration saw Jason, he said, “He’s not available to be visited as he’s our prime suspect for a case.”Jason slammed the medical kit on the table and said, “I’m his attending physician and I’m telling you that he has severe gastrointestinal perforation! Without treatment, he’ll die from shock and bleeding at any time! Also, he had just been injured a few hours ago by a pedicab and he has severe external and internal inj
“What? Not happy to see me?” Jason sneered. “Unfortunately, it’s not up to you to choose.”Conrad glared at him with wide eyes and yelled angrily, “Scram!”The hand that was holding the cigarette was trembling.Jason snorted coldly and swayed the medical kit in his hand.“Scram, huh? You better think twice because no one can save you now other than me.” Jason sneered again. “The interrogation room’s door is just too tough. No one can hear you scream, and you can’t break it apart too. To the point that you must run into the washroom. How sad, Mr. Maxwell.”Conrad choked. He got tricked.He hadn’t noticed the scent from the very beginning. By the time he realized that the drugs were already working on him, he had lost half his strength. How could he have broken down the door?“Where’s Fia? Does she know…?” Before he could finish, he saw a woman in a pink nurse uniform walking in.He could feel the flame burning inside of him as his eyes turned from slightly red to a bloody red.
“What picture?”Fia took out her phone and walked over to show it to him.When Conrad saw the picture, he was full of disgust.“Who sent it to you?”“Even you feel disgusted when it’s you in the picture. Outsiders will only get more ideas out of this,” Fia whispered. “I really hate to see both of you in the same picture, even if nothing happened.”Conrad could only stare at Fia with a frown.“Once this is over, can we just send her away?”“Send her away?” Fia cracked a smile. “After what she did to me, she will be punished to the full extent of the law!“Oh, Conrad. Did your heart soften again? Did she beg you just now? Maybe she cried and sobbed?”Conrad frowned and said, “She didn’t. Can you please not think that I’m that weak?”“I want to, but I can’t control my own brain.” Fia forced a smile. “Take care.”Fia had just left the interrogation room when she met up with Silas.“Oh, why are you here, madam?!” Silas’s expression immediately changed. ‘Did she find out?’“Your
