Conrad squinted, looking at Garrett coldly. “Yet, you slept with her and had me. And you never took up the responsibility to raise me. You should pay the price of your sins!”Garrett was stunned hearing this. Then, he retorted in anger, “How about this? I’ll give you Argonauts Corp as compensation! Is this enough?!”“Do you think I want that stupid company of yours?” Conrad replied cynically, “Argonauts Corp? It’s even worse than Maxwell Corporation. Garrett Maxwell, you should change your name. You don’t deserve to call yourself a Maxwell!”“Stop it. Please stop it…” Clarice was so heartbroken seeing her husband fighting with his flesh and blood like this. Suddenly, the ward’s door opened. “What’s going on?” Fia walked out the door feebly. Her steps were slow as she held a hand on her right shoulder so as to not make her wound hurt.When she saw Clarice kneeling on the floor, Fia frowned and tried to help her up.“Please don’t kneel. We can talk after you stand up.”Tears
“I understand.” Fia smiled sweetly. She closed her eyes despite the pain, waiting for sweet slumber to embrace her.She had woken up because of the pain from her wound. She wondered if she would wake up again later tonight because of it.However, she didn’t tell Conrad about it because she didn’t want him to worry about her when he was already upset.The next day.The sky had just slightly brightened when Conrad left. Before he left, he ordered Sophia to keep a close eye on Fia and to call him if anything happened.Sophia sat outside the door, leaving a small gap. She would peek in from time to time dutifully.After half an hour, the hospital director came.“Has Mr. Maxwell left, miss?”Sophia glared at the director warily. “What’s this about?”The director smiled and said, “I’m worried about Mrs. Maxwell’s injury, so I want to go in and take a look.”Sophia snapped at him, “No. You’re not Madam’s attending doctor!”The director said, “But I’m this hospital’s director!”Sop
“Jason Evans…” Fia muttered the name. “When I heard that he was wounded, I felt somewhat uneasy. I think… I know him.”Sophia said nothing. She was someone that was loyal and protective of her boss.While the person she wanted to protect the most was Fia, she only acknowledged one pairing, which was her boss and her madam.“Sophia, do you think I should see him?” Fia looked at Sophia.Sophia gave it a thought and cunningly said, “Out of protecting the relationship between you and the boss, I don’t recommend you see him.”“What?” Fia asked intentionally. “You think that there’s something between me and Mr. Evans?”“That’s not it!” Sophia shook her hand. “You’re a very principled woman and are only romantically involved with the boss. There’s nothing unspeakable between you and any other men!”“Then what are you worried about?” Fia smiled slyly.It took her a while, but Sophia finally realized that she jumped into a hole that her madam had prepared for her.“I want to see him,”
Fia sensed that something was wrong with his emotions, and she couldn’t help but become nervous.“I’m sorry, Mr. Evans! I… I forgot some things. If what I said is offensive to you, please don’t take it too seriously! Just treat it as some mindless rambling of a madwoman!”“It’s okay,” Jason said as he tightened his grip. “I’ll explain everything to Director Parker and do my best to clear Conrad’s name.”“Thank you! Then, is there anything I can do for you?” Fia asked excitedly.Jason looked at her. He wanted her to hug him, even if just once.But he didn’t need to even consider it because she would refuse him.There was no need for him to ask for the impossible.“You’ve already done enough by not pursuing a case against my mom for hurting you, Fia. If there’s nothing else, I’ll return to my room now.”Fia was stunned for a moment before saying, “Alright, I’ll have Sophia send you back.”“It’s alright. She needs to take care of you. I’ll have the doctor and nurse send me back.”
After Conrad was done washing the utensils, he extended his hand to Fia. “Give me your phone.”Fia looked at him speechlessly.Conrad said, “Fia.”“Can you please not?” Fia said with a frown. “I’m quite bored, so just let me have a look.”“You have babies in your womb. There’s too much radiation from the phone and it’ll affect the babies,” Conrad said with a cold expression.Fia blinked. “I can always wear a hazmat suit! I won’t use it for long… Just half an hour?”Conrad still had his hand extended. “Give me your phone. I’ll change the settings for you.”Fia asked, “You want to delete the contacts on my phone?”Conrad said, “No, I’m just giving a second look at who you have no need to contact.”Fia frowned. “I’ve forgotten people and events, and I’ve never seen a lot of those people on my contacts. Since I am in a better mood, I want to see who their friends are.”Conrad raised an eyebrow. “You want to know more about Jason?”Fia’s expression became alert. Originally, she w
At the very least, the madam could still believe that the boss didn’t hire someone to hurt Mr. Evans.But she felt that if Fia recovered her memories, she probably wouldn’t believe Conrad anymore.She then suggested out of boldness and said, “Maybe we can continue the hypnotism after the madam is out of the hospital?”“I want to remember right now! I can’t wait anymore!” Fia’s emotions became very erratic. The feeling that everything was unclear was making her go berserk!“Sophia, please ask Mr. White to come over!” Conrad felt that rather than hiding everything from her, he should let her recover all her memories.He had no need to hide anything as she herself knew the answer to all the questions!After a few minutes, Sophia pushed a confused Marcus in. “What is it now? I had just finished my lunch and was having a rest so that I could digest my food, but this girl dragged me in.”Fia said, “Doctor Marcus, please help me. I want to remember everything now.”“Now?” Marcus then
Sophia wanted to speak a few times, but she didn’t dare to because of how serious everything became. She simply wished for it to end soon.Marcus knelt in front of Fia and held her left hand. He put his fingers on the veins at her wrist.“You’ve been hurt so many times. If you’re given a chance, will you still fall in love with Conrad?”Fia’s eyes shut tight, but the movements underneath her eyelids showed that her eyes beneath were moving rapidly. As if she was trying to resist… Or break free.Marcus held her wrist tighter. “Everything is destined. Love and hatred are both trials that God gives you. Before you go through the trial, God will also give you the power to live through it. Stop running, and all your problems will be solved one day. The children in your womb are the energy that God gave you. It represents your rebirth. It will be your armor that makes you invulnerable!”“I… will…” Fia murmured, sweat rolling down her forehead as she answered Marcus’ final question.She
“I think the hypnotism session took too much of her strength. That’s what’s keeping her asleep longer,” Sophia said as she looked at her boss. When she remembered all the questions that Marcus asked and all the pain that Fia had suffered, the way she looked at him became slightly colder.Conrad closed the door and stared at Sophia. “You were with them the entire session. Did you notice if Marcus did anything wrong?”Sophia shook her head. “Doctor Marcus is a very responsible doctor. He understands the madam as well.”“What did he say?”“All questions related to her recovery,” Sophia said to her boss in a calm manner.The madam didn’t want the boss to know about her love for him, so she would help her hide it from him together with Marcus.Conrad knew about his followers well. While it hadn’t been long since Sophia had worked for him, she had been at the training camp for a long time. He knew that once she made a decision, it would be hard to change her.“Sophia, I’m not asking a
