“Sure.” Marcus quite admired those who could speak out on their own. Among the patients he treated, most of them relied on his hypnosis to be able to express the secrets in the bottom of their hearts.***Conrad couldn’t sit still and kept looking at the door of the study on the first floor, ready to take action any moment.As long as there were any large movements, he would be able to hear it and immediately rush over.Instead, an hour went by and the door of the study opened. Marcus walked out with a diary.“Mr. Maxwell, we are done for today. You may go to Mrs. Maxwell.”“How is she?” Conrad asked and ran in.Marcus shook his head and went to the kitchen to make food for himself.In the study.Fia sat on the sofa, staring into space without any expression on.“Fia?” Conrad did not dare to directly go forward and touch her, afraid of scaring her.Fia slowly raised her head to look at him, the corner of her lips lifted.“You’re here? Where did you come from?”Conrad felt
Fia was disturbed by the memories in her heart but slowly felt at peace because of Conrad’s words.Conrad asked gently, “Shall we go home?”“Alright.” She stretched out her hand. “However, I’m very tired. I can’t walk.”All the bad things were dug out and told to Marcus, that psychiatrist. To her, the person involved, it was kind of a cruelty. She really felt very tired.Conrad knelt before her. “Come, come on up. I’ll carry you home.”Fia did not bother to be courteous and climbed onto his back and said listlessly, “You have to carry me more steadily. Don’t drop me.”“Alright.” Conrad held her hips with both hands and every step he took was very stable.“Wait.” Marcus rushed to the door. “Use this. When you go back home, light one up each day. It would be better for her to soothe her mind.”As Conrad was holding her hips with both of his hands, he did not have a free hand.Fia accepted the thing that was tightly wrapped and asked, “What’s this?”“You’re pregnant. It’s not su
“Yeah. I just called Tyler. It is indeed like that.” Conrad’s emotions were heavy.He was worried about the nodules on her body. She lost control of her emotions easily and she was carrying identical twins.As a father, he had it easy, but as a mother, the entire pregnancy period would be even harder.“It’s fine,” Fia said shakily. “I can ask Mary. She has been through it and will share with me her experiences. Our babies will be born safe and sound.”Her tears fell. Although she encouraged herself through her words, her heart was in a mess.When Mary got pregnant, her situation was much better than hers.Now, her mammary glands had problems and her emotions also had problems. On top of that, she had enemies hiding in the dark gunning for her.“Conrad.” She hugged Conrad. “Promise me. This time my children will be fine! Nothing bad will happen!”“Alright.” Conrad hugged her. “Even if I have to give up my life, I will protect all of you.”“I believe you.” Fia kissed the vein on
Esme did not dare to provoke him at this moment and nodded to say, “I got it. I will cooperate with you.”“Stay in the hospital. I’ll be taking a trip.” Peter turned to leave.Esme sat on the ground in a daze for a couple of minutes. Peter was a madman! After being humiliated by Conrad once, he could not keep his cool. She could not continue to be entangled with him!She needed to find a way to deal with Peter!She must think of a way!She stood up and switched on her phone under her pillow. After hesitating for a bit, she made a call.Conrad had just coaxed Fia to sleep and gone to the study to work when his phone suddenly rang.It was a local unknown number.After picking up, he said faintly, “Hello.”On the other end, a soft sound rang out. “Mr. Maxwell, don’t hang up first. I have something important to tell you. Peter wants to harm Fia!”Conrad put his phone to his ear. “Speak clearly.”“He is a psychopath. He can’t accept being humiliated by others. For the both of you
Fia felt that if she changed her number and without the anonymous messages, the enemy would disappear. She would feel even more uneasy.“Fia, let’s change to a new number, alright?” Conrad asked gently.“Alright, let’s get it changed. However, don’t cancel this number, let Sophia use it,” Fia explained. “Perhaps one day the person would be exposed. All of these are clues.”Conrad thought about it for a bit. “Alright.”“What about Sophia?” Fia asked.“You want to see her?” Conrad frowned. Sophia was punished and if she were to come over now, he was afraid that Fia would get angry when she saw it.“Yeah. I want to see her. I want to talk to her. Go and busy yourself with work. The company’s situation isn’t too great now, is it?” Fia had seen all those rumors online.They did not stop and Maxwell Corporation’s stocks were going down. All of these were very dangerous matters.Conrad nodded. “Alright. I’ll get Sophia over.”“Go to the company. Don’t stay at home. At this moment, ev
Sophia felt like her heart was being stuffed with glass, feeling a dull pain.She was an orphan and grew up in the Hellish Training Camp. Since young, no one had ever said such words to her.All she learned was how to defeat enemies!“There is medicine to get rid of bruises and swelling. I’ll get it.” Fia got up to look for medicine.Sophia sat there in a daze, feeling quite touched. The feeling of having someone who treated her like a girl and cared for her was really not bad.Fia brought the first aid kit and said to Sophia, “Let me help you apply the medicine. It might be a little painful. Just endure it a little.”“There is no need, Madam.” Sophia took over the first aid kit in her hand. “I can do it myself.”“Don’t worry about it. It’s not a big deal,” Fia said.Sophia shook her head awkwardly. “I’m ticklish.”“Alright, then you can do it yourself.” Fia sat down by her side and asked, “Have you eaten? What do you want to eat?”“I’ve eaten. Tiger sent food,” Sophia replie
It was then the door of the condominium apartment was opened again. This time Silas brought in two hunky, muscular bodyguards.Silas said to her coldly, “They are here to protect you. They will take turns to guard your door. If you need anything, you can always ask them to provide them for you.”Esme clenched her teeth and thanked him profusely. Deep in her heart, however, she was cursing him and Conrad non-stop. She did not think that Conrad would not only refuse to see her but also send someone to keep an eye on her.“Mr. Silas, I have miscarried my baby recently. I forgot to bring my medici-“Before she was able to finish her words, Silas tossed a packet of medicine on the table. “This is the medicine prescribed by the hospital. Remember to take them as the doctor ordered.”“Thank you, Mr. Silas.” Esme thanked him again.But it was not over yet. Silas looked her in the eye and said, “Hand over your phone.”Esme was stunned hearing this. “Why should I give you my phone? No,
Peter furrowed his brows as soon as he heard this. He recognized that cold, indifferent voice.Conrad leaned back on his black high back chair, gripping his phone as he spun his pen.“About those rumors about me, my wife, and my company, aren’t you going to do something about it, Mr. Hall?”“She’s in your hands?!” Peter’s face turned grim when he realized what was going on.“Yes.”“What are you doing?!” Peter said anxiously, “She’s weak and frail right now! She needs proper medical attention at the hospital!”“Heh! Let me remind you, Mr. Hall. You drew the first blood.” After finishing his words, Conrad immediately hung up.Peter was furious and agitated at the matter at hand. He could not get through Esme’s phone so he could not get her phone’s location. He wanted to rush to Maxwell Corporation to get her back but there was no way he could manage it alone! Besides, there was something important to do right now. He could not hold the press conference without Esme. So he had to
