“This is all part of her ploy. Even if she’s really dead, it has nothing to do with you. She deserves it,” Conrad consoled Fia and muttered into her ears. Meanwhile, Tiger gave Peter, who had fainted, a kick before walking over to the window and looking down.“She’s still alive, sir. They set up a life net down below.”Fia was suddenly stunned.Conrad stroked her face. She was already sweating in that short moment.He kissed her face and gently said, “She’s fine. Even if something happened to her, it’s her own doing.”“I’ll go take a look,” Fia said dryly.Conrad then held her to the window side, and she looked down as she trembled.Esme was lying on the life net. The doctors and firemen surrounded her.“She’s not dead…” she mumbled. “Just who exactly is she?”Conrad then said, “Don’t think about this anymore, alright?”Even Tiger, who had been watching how things unfold, began to get worried. “Sir, should you take her to the psychologist?”Conrad nodded and took her to the
“What are we doing here?”Conrad introduced Marcus to her. “This is Mr. White, a psychologist.”There was displeasure in Fia’s eyes. “I’m not sick.”She tugged Conrad’s arm. “I’m not sick. I don’t need to see a psychologist. Let’s go home!”Marcus looked at her and said, “You’re quite seriously ill.”Conrad glared at him in annoyance.Fia didn’t look at Marcus. For some reason, the man was putting her under immense pressure. As if he could see through her secrets at any time.Marcus ignored her and said, “While your eyes look innocent and pure, they lack the vigor of a healthy person. It means that your heart is exhausted.”“I don’t know what you’re talking about! I’m completely fine!” Fia didn’t want to look at Marcus, and simply pulled Conrad, wanting to leave.Marcus was a proud man. His work in psychology made him an important and welcomed guest even to the royalty of another country!And the woman in front of him riled him up.“Come in.”With that, he turned around and
“It’s quite delicious,” Fia answered coolly.She was worried that he would give her some sort of diagnosis just by drinking tea, and so she added, “I don’t understand much about tea, though.”“I’m just purely inviting you to have some tea.” Marcus held up his teacup and took a deep breath. As the sweet scent of the tea entered his nostrils and into his lungs, his mind became clearer too.He was still suffering from jetlag and woke up not long ago. Now that he had regained his composure, he looked much better, and his temper also somewhat improved.“What do you like to do on your usual days, madam?”Fia answered out of politeness. “Draw designs.”“You’re a designer?” Marcus asked.“Yes.” Fia finished her drink and put the teacup back onto the saucer.Marcus asked, “Can I see your designs?”Fia frowned and looked at Conrad. “Is it okay?”“I’m fine with that.” Conrad nodded and got his phone out. He had a few of her designs in it.Marcus put down the teacup and took his time to
Conrad held Fia’s trembling hand and said, “Fia, Mr. White means you no harm.”Fia’s eyes slowly turned red, and she felt like exposing everything after her secret had been revealed.“My mom had me out of wedlock. I have no father!”Marcus frowned as he was held back for a moment.He had encountered a lot of patients, but none of them would reveal things to him like Fia did despite being so resistant to it in the first place.“I have no father. So what if there are some flaws in my designs?’ Fia asked. “Is it against the law?”Marcus realized that Fia’s situation was worse than she herself had thought.The environment she grew up in and her own background had caused her a lot of harm. However, she suppressed it by always advancing forward.While she looked strong that way, she had never released all the pent-up pressure inside of her.If she were to encounter something that would affect her after she grew up, she could easily break apart one day.“Can I talk to you alone?” Ma
Conrad was stunned. There was a moment when he selfishly thought to himself to forget about the treatment. He only wanted her to stay by his side.He would give her everything that she needed. He would protect her.Once their children were born, they would watch their children grow up together.They would never be separated ever again.“Mr. Maxwell?” Marcus realized that something was wrong with Conrad.“Treat her!” Conrad dispelled the evil thoughts in his mind. “No matter what happens, her health is much more important.”Marcus nodded. “The treatment of mental illnesses requires the support of the patient’s closest friends and family. If you won’t support her, not only would it be bad for her condition, but it would worsen it too. If there are any problems between you two, accommodate her. Don’t start a fight with her.”Conrad nodded. “Sure.”“Well, this is where we should end for now. Once I’ve understood everything there is to know, I’ll think of treatment.” Marcus sat into
“Mr. Evans, the speed at which dishes are served at this restaurant is too slow,” Marcus said straightforwardly.Jason looked at him oddly. He was dressed like a native and his hair was very long.His face was so pale that he looked sickly, even looking like a newly reborn hungry ghost like those in Chinese movies.What he was really suspicious of was this person’s ability! Could it be that the hospital director had been cheated?No worries. Kent had the ability to investigate it.After the waiters served the later dishes, Jason ordered three extra dishes.When Marcus was eating, Jason secretly took a picture and sent it to Kent.“Aren’t you eating, Mr. Evans?” Marcus had eaten till he was half full before feeling a little embarrassed.Marcus looked at the phone in Jason’s hand. “When you are eating, you should eat properly. Don’t play with electronics. It is easy to become reliant on them. If it is serious, it will turn from reliance to an addiction that you can’t quit and it
Marcus raised his eyes and his gaze was indifferent.“Did you get someone to do a background check on me while I was eating?”Jason was a little speechless. This fellow was very sensitive and he did not know whether he was a friend or foe.For the sake of security, he’d better get Kent and Conrad to check if he ever knew Peter, Esme, or Britney later on.“Tell me what you have found.” Marcus thought that his dark past had been hidden very well, and even Conrad was not able to find it.“I heard that when you were young…”“Shut up!” Marcus interrupted Jason. “So you are looking down on the fact that I was once a mentally ill patient? You feel that I am not qualified enough to treat others?”Jason was just about to explain when Marcus got up to leave.“Since that is the case, I will not force things. You can all find someone else!” Marcus waved his sleeve and left.Jason was stunned for a couple of seconds before quickly giving chase and grabbing the long sleeve of his long robe.
“I never thought that a young lady like her would have experienced so much.”Jason lowered his eyes, not saying a word.Marcus continued, “Since Mr. Maxwell has made her endure so much, why is she still with him? Why did she not divorce him?”Jason raised his eyes. “Fia never mentioned who the person she was secretly in love with was. Now that you’ve listened to everything I said, can you make a guess?” Marcus’ expression turned even more hideous and he drank a whole cup of water he poured for himself.He asked. “Is it Mr. Maxwell?”Jason replied, “Besides him, I cannot think of why she would be willing to allow herself to be in such a humbling position.”Marcus responded, “Love is really an especially complicated and hurtful thing. I don’t ever want to find a girlfriend in this life. Being single rocks!”Jason harrumphed lightly. “That is because you have yet to meet the right woman. When you meet her, things will not be up to you.”Marcus replied, “Then, I’ll pray every day t
