Mrs. Whitley was stunned after listening to him. “You’re a doctor!”No wonder he looked like a paragon.There was a hint of loneliness in his eyes. “Before this, I was Fia’s attending physician.”And now, he wasn’t sure if it was right for him to have given up on medicine and join the business world.Since if he was still a doctor, she would think of him any time she had any health problems.“Ah, I’m so sorry. I’m sorry.” For the elderly, doctors were all quite exemplary. Mrs. Whitley’s attitude instantly changed for the better.“Can you leave me your number, then? If the madam has any problems, I can give you a call too.”“Sure.” Jason immediately saved his number in Mrs. Whitley’s phone.He also hoped that if anything were to happen to Fia, someone would inform him.Mrs. Whitley took back her phone and asked in detail again.“You said that I should be mindful of the madam’s emotional well-being?”“Yes,” Jason said with a frown. “After her mother passed away, she’s been thr
Fia calmed down after hearing all that.“Are you saying that he didn’t do it?”“Oh, my dear… Mr. Maxwell is not that kind of person.” Mrs. Whitley held her face and wiped her tears. “I heard from Silas that you’ve known him for many years. Even if you didn’t know him that long, you have married him for so long. Do you think that he’s someone cruel enough to kill his own child?”Fia was stunned. Her despair was instantly dispelled like black clouds blown away.“Mrs. Whitley, can you help me call Doctor Sally?”She gave her phone that was under her pillow to Mrs. Whitley. She couldn’t see so finding her name through her contacts was going to take too long.Mrs. Whitley helped her find Sally’s name and made the call.“No one’s picking up? That’s weird,” Fia mumbled with a frown. Ever since she knew Sally, she would always call back unless she was in the middle of surgery.“She must be working on surgery. She’ll contact me once she sees it’s me.” She consoled herself.…Product A
The luggage and the goods inside were probably around a hundred pounds. He carefully moved the car down and then slammed Tiger’s trunk close.He then said to Tiger annoyingly, “Tell your boss if there’s a next time, I won’t help him again.”He worked like he was a bandit or part of the mafia!Tiger raised his eyebrow and said, “Our boss said that he’s doing this for your own good. You’re getting too lonely.”“Just leave!” Jason stared at Tiger before carefully dragging the luggage to the elevator.He carefully moved the luggage into the office.The moment he went into his office, Jason locked the door and crouched down, opening the luggage.He then saw Sally coiled like a cooked prawn inside, with tape over her mouth. Even her hands and legs were tied with ropes.He quickly untied her and cursed, “He’s mad!”As soon as Sally was freed, she pounced into his arms and cried while hugging him.She had never been treated like this for as long as she had lived.First, they locked
“Give Fia a call so she can stop worrying.”“Sure.”After Fia spoke with Sally, she was stunned.Sally told her that ingredients found in the medicine that was given to her the second time caused the miscarriage. She also told her that Conrad was focusing his efforts on investigating the people from the hospital.She remembered that after the ultrasound, her confusion had caused her to be very suspicious of him.That man must be feeling quite upset now, right?… Maxwell Corporation.The situation was quite serious.Silas was explaining how the new project had been taken away by Parker Group.Conrad suddenly raised his eyes and asked, “About Fia’s medicine. Who did that?”“Tiger and the director at Gryphonheart Hospital are investigating it. We should have a result by tomorrow.”“Silas, send more people to patrol the apartment.”Conrad felt very unsafe. It was his negligence!Some components in that medicine had been changed to something that could cause miscarriage. Wh
Peter pried away Esme’s hand that was around him and slammed the wine glass on the bar counter heavily.“I have something to do. I’m going up.”“Sure.” Esme looked at him strangely. Why did she feel like he was thinking of someone else?There should only be one person in his heart.Her.For her, he had transformed from a teacher to a rat, forced to do things that could never come to light.Peter walked into his study. He pulled the curtains and made an overseas call.A gentle woman picked up his call and happily called out, “Brother! You finally called!”His eyes showed some warmth, which was quite rare. “Did you do anything unhappy lately?”The person on the other side hesitated and said, “It’s nothing. It’s just that I’m a bit busy and tired.”“I told you not to be a doctor, but you didn’t listen.”“Don’t talk about me! What about you? Why did you give up on being a university lecturer and becoming a zoologist? It has been a long time since you came back and accompanied me
Sadness appeared on her face.Conrad immediately crouched by the bed and carefully moved her bangs to the side.“It’s my fault. I didn’t protect you and the child. It’s all my fault.”Fia’s eyes trembled, and her heart felt like it was being torn to pieces.She extended her hands and held his, then placed his palms on her face.“I’m sick.”His heart skipped a beat but he didn’t say a word.“I didn’t want to acknowledge it, but I know it very clearly.”“My mental sickness has been with me for a very long time. I would sometimes overthink things, I would sometimes refuse to trust others, and I would even choose to use harsh words.“What I said today must have hurt you, but how can you be angry with a patient? How can you leave me without explaining? Are you trying to abandon me because I’m too problematic? Did you do that on purpose?”Her voice was soft, but it was obvious that there was sorrow in her tone and that she was hurt.Conrad felt like his heart had been run over by
Mrs. Whitley was worried that Fia was still suspicious of Conrad and misunderstood him.So, she said with joy, “Look at how much Mr. Maxwell cares about you.“There are going to be guards patrolling the mansion all day. They are separated into three groups. Each group will patrol the mansion for eight hours. No one can come into the mansion freely!“They will check all the groceries that we buy every day. They won’t miss anything that we eat or drink, so you’ll…”Mrs. Whitley looked at how numb Fia was and thought about that unfortunate child. She felt pity for the husband and wife.When Fia heard about it, she became even more nervous.Earlier, there was only her, Conrad, and Mrs. Taylor.But there were so many bodyguards this time… Was it because the person had a powerful background? Because he was very hard to deal with?At night.Fia lay in Conrad’s arms and couldn’t help but ask, "Why did you arrange so many bodyguards to patrol outside?”Conrad frowned and said, “I’m wo
“Aren’t I a good example?” Esme kissed Peter’s neck, fawning all over him. “When you told me you’ll help me with my revenge, I thought you were all talk. I didn’t realize you’re so committed.”The man smiled as he held the woman’s neck and said, “You’re my poison, my medicine. I’m willing to do anything for you.”Esme let out a chuckle as she kissed Peter’s face. Suddenly, she tilted her head and looked at him.“I wonder if one day, you’ll be just like Conrad Maxwell?”Peter raised his eyebrow and said, “My life is already in your hands, and you still doubt me?”Esme gave his chest a light punch. “Stop being so ridiculous. When did I take your life?”“Oh, you faithless woman. I’m crossing dangerous lines for you. Doesn’t that count as giving you my life?”Esme’s heart throbbed in excitement. She was somewhat touched.Yet, the person that she first loved wasn’t the man in front of her. She was still regretful about it.Peter pressed the woman on the sofa, cruelty appeared in hi
