“Where are you going, madam?” When Sophia saw Fia walking downstairs, she quickly walked over and asked her.Fia looked at Sophia, confused. “Who are you?”Although Sophia had heard from Silas about her losing her memories, when she suddenly had to face it herself, she still found it hard to accept.“I’m Sophia Bennett. Sir asked me to watch over you.”Fia looked at Sophia for a moment before shaking her head. She then placed her hand on her chest. “I’m not feeling well.”“Where?” Sophia asked nervously and scanned her. “The chest?”“Yes, a little. It feels like I’m being pricked by needles,” Fia said.Sophia anxiously called Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. Whitley over and told them about it. The two of them exchanged a glance and then said in unison, “Give Doctor Sally a call.”“Who’s Doctor Sally?” Fia became even more confused.Why was she surrounded by people that she didn’t know at all? She only knew Mrs. Taylor”“Mrs. Taylor, Conrad told me that I’ve forgotten some things. Is tha
“Mrs. Taylor!” Fia felt like she had found succor at the final moment. “Prepare some tea.”“Of course!” Mrs. Taylor let out a sigh of relief and dragged Mrs. Whitley along to prepare the tea.Marcus pointed at the sofa. “Shall we chat while we sit over there?”Fia nodded. She thought to herself that, as Conrad’s wife and the mistress of this home, she needed to have the grace of one.She then led the way. “Have a seat, doctor.”She waited for Marcus to take his seat first before she did, as a form of courtesy.Marcus looked at her, his heart grim.For a young woman like this to live like an old woman… He wondered how much pressure she was under and how much pain she had taken before becoming someone like this.“You can begin, doctor,” Fia said to Marcus with a smile, but her eyes were filled with anxiety.Marcus said with a smile, “You must have been quite the peculiar girl in the past, aren’t you?”Fia was slightly taken back. “What does that have to do with Conrad’s illness
Wallace was completely taken by surprise and could only say, “Fia, wait a bit. I still have some work to do. I’ll call you later.”Fia felt chills down her spine. Before she could even say anything, Wallace had already hung up.She sat on the floor with her back against her bed, her eyes numb. She didn’t know what to do.Someone was knocking on her door. Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. Whitley, and Sophia’s anxious voices could be heard through the gap under the door.But she didn’t want to see them at all.How could she have amnesia?Was this one of Conrad’s tricks?Pretend to marry her? He still wanted to find Esme? He changed everything when she was asleep? And then told everyone to tell her that she was crazy? That she had amnesia?“Why?” She could feel her sorrow overwhelming her, and the pain in her chest was also getting worse.Did she do something that he hated?How could he do something like that to her?“Madam! Please come out now!” Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. Whiley cried out.Sophia
Conrad was stunned. He hugged her, hurt.“I have always cared about you.”But he knew it too late.Even when she was still little, he already cared about her.If he didn’t, he wouldn’t even take notice of her.He wouldn’t have spoken to her.Fia then asked, “Can you take me to my mom and my grandma? I tried calling them but the calls won’t go through. Mrs. Taylor said that they’ve passed away, but how can that be? They’ve always been quite healthy.”“Fia…” Conrad kissed her ear lobe. “What should I do to make you better?”His voice was filled with helplessness, and Fia could only feel pain from his words.In her eyes, he had always been calm and dignified. He would never show an expression like this.Even when Esme abandoned him and went overseas, he didn’t show much reaction. His feelings were no different than how they usually were.“Can you take me to see my mom? Or my grandma?” Fia persisted. Everyone here worked for him and she didn’t dare believe them blindly.However
Marcus, who was sitting in the passenger’s seat, said calmly, “Mr. Maxwell, you’re not helping by stopping here. Let’s get to the hospital as soon as possible.”Conrad had no choice but to restart the car.However, a car from behind suddenly cut into their lane from the back, and even intentionally scraped their car. The two cars inevitably crashed into each other.Fia quickly grabbed the armrest. While she was able to stabilize herself, her head still knocked into the back of the back seat. It was so painful she felt as if her head had been split open.“Is that person crazy?!”Marcus got it even worse as his head was bleeding. That was because the car crashed into the side where the passenger’s seat was, and he got the brunt of it.He rubbed his head and his hand was covered with blood. He glared at the car through the car window. “What the hell? He made me bleed?”Conrad went out and opened the back door so he could check Fia’s condition.“I’m fine.” Fia massaged her painfu
“I’m sorry, but I can’t let you see him.” Marcus looked at Esme who was disguised as Britney. He extended his palm toward her and said, “Look. A woman like you that makes others bleed can’t get close to any man.”Esme looked at Marcus as if he was an idiot. With his long hair and him wearing traditional garb… He looked like a madman!Marcus then scanned Esme again, “Miss, seeing that it’s fate that we meet here, let me tell you something. I’m a very reputable psychologist. If you’re sick, you can come and pay me a visit.”While she looked like a nice girl, her eyes were filled with brutality, and what she did was quite crazy too. She was not mentally unstable… She was wicked, through and through!Esme was so angry that her face almost became twisted. She tried her best to gently say, “Sir, if you’re sick, please go see a doctor. Don’t think everyone’s crazy, alright?”“Ha! Haha!” Marcus let out an icy smile. “Someone like you? I won’t ever treat you even if you’re sick!”With tha
Conrad’s lips curled without him saying a word.He couldn’t be bothered to do anything. What Marcus did was quite to his liking.“Conrad.” To Fia, the person she was watching wasn’t Esme. Without her memories, she wasn’t suspecting that Britney was Esme at all. Instead, she felt that the woman was pitiful.“Can you please ask Mr. White to stop? It’s not so nice for a man to be so relentless toward a girl.”“I’m not that bold to stop him,” Conrad said softly. “Mr. White was previously mentally ill himself. Stopping him would simply amplify his symptoms. If what I did caused him to revert to his previous state, wouldn’t that make me the one at fault?”Fia looked at him in shock. But after that, she calmly nodded. “I see. If that’s the case, his sudden change is understandable.”A mentally ill patient… Even if it was in the past, he would be quite tempestuous in nature compared to other normal people.“That woman drove the car like a madwoman… It’s normal for her to suffer some pun
“Of course. We had a good relationship in the past, but…” Before Esme could even finish, Conrad rolled up the window and started the car, leaving her in the dust.He didn’t want Esme to say anything to provoke Fia.“Why didn’t you let her finish?” Fia said, confused. “She said she knew me, but I don’t remember anything at all.”She frowned again and muttered, “But when I looked at her, I felt somewhat uncomfortable.”“How can someone as fake as her make anyone comfortable?” Marcus consoled her. “I didn’t like how she did things. That’s why I shamed her.”“Really?” Fia said visibly confused, and then remembered how everyone said that she had amnesia.If that was true… What was the reason that caused her to lose a portion of her memories?Did her mom and grandma really pass away? Did she become like this because they passed away?“Mrs. Maxwell.” Marcus turned to the back and said to Fia earnestly, “You can doubt anyone, but never doubt those who are willing to sacrifice their liv
