Only to see Fia standing at the doorway of his study in a daze.Conrad’s heart clenched and he walked toward her speedily.“Fia, why aren’t you having your meal?”Fia’s eyes moved and she raised her head to look at Conrad.“Who is Mr. Evans?”Why did she feel worried and nervous when she heard that this person got into an accident?Conrad frowned, his expression slowly turning complex.Fia became even more worried. She threw away the blue roses in her hand and grabbed Conrad’s arm.“Who is Mr. Evans?”“He is not important!” Conrad’s tone turned cold. The moment he thought of how Jason was the person in Fia’s heart, he felt envious and angry! Tiger immediately came running over.“Madam, Mr. Evans is one of Sir’s business partners.”“Is… Is that so?” Fia could not understand why the worry in her heart was so deep, as if something had happened to someone quite close.However, she could not remember who the person was and her worry was replaced by confusion and frustration.Me
Conrad held one of Fia’s wrist, clearly not letting her see Jason.Fia said softly, “Then go with me?”Conrad frowned, unable to reject her.“Now you are a suspect. We can see him together and when he wakes up, it’ll be good for him to point out the person who hit him.” After Fia finished, she looked at Finn and asked, “Is it okay like this?”Finn went quiet for a couple of seconds. “Yes. But the both of you must be within our line of sight and aren’t allowed to leave on your own.”“Okay.” Fia looked at Conrad. “Is such an arrangement alright?”Although Conrad really didn’t like her going to Jason, she had arranged things very well and he could not reject her.Fia looked at him and seeing that he did not say a word, she spoke again. “Let Mr. White go over as well and find a time to perform hypnosis on me. I find it a little hard to bear not recognising anyone.”***In the end, Conrad agreed to Fia’s suggestion. He went to the hospital with her to see Jason and asked Marcus alo
“All evidence points to him!” Garrett stared at Conrad in disappointment.Every time he looked at Conrad, it was as if he was looking at Beryl.Beryl was vicious and unreasonable and Conrad had her blood flowing through him.The mother and son were the same and to add on, the car without a plate was a car under his bodyguard.“When Mr. Evans got into the accident, he was with me. He did not call anyone, nor did he send anyone to do bad things!” Fia defended him. Looking at Garrett’s disappointed gaze, she felt heartache for Conrad.“Mr. Maxwell, Conrad is your biological son! Even if the entire world doesn’t believe him, you should have some trust in him!”Clarice looked at how upset and anxious Fia was, and she was reminded of how her son had given up so much for her and felt heartache. Immediately, she lost the heart to say anything on Conrad’s behalf.“Fia, don’t waste your words on them.” Conrad held Fia’s wrist. “There’s no need.”“But…” Fia stared at Garrett. “Why did thi
“As if I will be afraid of you!” Conrad pushed Finn, looking as if he was going to fight Garrett to death!Finn and Fia stopped Conrad while the former yelled at Clarice, “Clarice, get him to calm down!”Clarice hugged Garrett’s waist. “Don’t be like this. Wait for Jason to wake up before talking further.”Conrad did not dare to continue struggling, fearful of banging into Fia.Garrett was the same. Clarice had bad bones and he was afraid of hurting her and no longer struggled.The father-son duo glared at each other ruthlessly, wishing nothing more than to kill the other party.Finn was sure that with the both of them being held back by their own women, they would no longer go crazy.He wiped the sweat off his forehead and said earnestly, “I am not here to see you two fight! Garrett, you are a mature man. How can you do this?!”Looking around, he walked to Garrett and said softly, “Based on my understanding of this kid, Conrad, he’s not someone who would do something so low. I
Conrad gave a cold laugh. “Just because I am my mother’s son?”Fia felt extremely upset and stretched out both hands to hug him.“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t suspect you.”Although she did not know the whole story, as his wife, before knowing the whole truth, she should trust him without any reservations!“It’s fine.” Conrad hugged Fia back, not wanting to blame her.How she was right now was all because he did not protect her well.Even if she suspected him, didn’t trust him, they were all his own doings.“It’s fine,” he said softly, as if he was comforting himself.Fia never imagined a day where he would be so humble before her.Clearly, in the past, he was invincible, absolutely hated people for suspecting him or taking him lightly the most.She could only hug him tightly and she said comfortingly, “The situation now is not the worst. That director did not limit your freedom and he even helped to pull Mr. Maxwell aside, which proves that he trusts you.”Conrad did not say anyt
It just made her so happy.He remembered that she was a little shorter when she had just entered university, and she grew a couple of centimeters during her university days. At that time, Esme intentionally came to complain in front of him. “How could Fia still grow when she’s already in university? My height has been the same since high school!”Seeing her happy, Conrad did not mention Esme, to avoid her recalling anything.“When did I grow taller? Was it when I married you?” Fia also thought about Esme. “Esme’s height hadn’t changed since Grade 11. However, she’s still taller than me.”She stuck out her tongue and said, “Esme is 5’4”, taller than I am!”After she finished speaking, the smile on her face froze.“Is she really dead?” She recalled the words Miss Thomas said.Conrad frowned, raised her face, and gave her a kiss.Fia was stunned, fireworks going off in her mind!He… He actually kissed her?!The kiss got deeper until someone passed by. Only then did he let her go
“No!” Fia’s pupils widened, as she rushed toward Clarice’s dagger.“Fia!”Conrad smacked the bag away. He saw Clarice with her gaze full of hatred and her hand holding a dagger as she rushed at him. And Fia stretching out her arms, rushing in front of him.He tried his best to grab Fia, but he was still a step too late. Clarice’s dagger stabbed into Fia’s arm and blood flowed.Conrad roared, “Scram!” And he pushed Clarice aside.Clarice fell to the ground, the pain awakening her confused mind.Seeing Fia in Conrad’s embrace and seeing the dagger stabbed into her shoulders, Clarice’s eyes instantly reddened.The words that her son, Jason, once told her rang out by her ears “Mom, I do everything for Fia willingly, I have never wished for anything in return.”“Jason…” she cried in heartache. What had she done?When Jason gained consciousness, he would definitely blame her.Garrett and Finn had just returned from their talk and were stunned when they saw this scene before them.
Bearing with an intense migraine, the director of the hospital said to her, “Come with us to the operating theater. We can talk about it on the way!”“Okay!”As the two of them walked into the staff elevator to get to the operating theater, the director told Sally everything from start to finish. After learning about how Fia got stabbed with a knife, Sally could not help but feel sad and worried for her.“These people from high society… tsk!” The director kept on complaining, “I’ve done everything I could to keep this under the press’s radar but… Let’s hope no one outside of the hospital catches wind of this. Or else… our hospital would have to bear the brunt of it!”Hearing this, Sally had a hunch that her brother had something to do with all this. “Sir, I have to make a call.”“This isn’t the time for that! You can make the call after we’ve handled Mrs. Maxwell’s wound! Mr. Maxwell is in a foul mood right now! We can’t afford to stall!”When they were treating Fia’s wound, Co
