Fia thought Conrad’s frown was a sign that he did not want her to probe into this matter.
“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have asked.” She lowered her head and tried to pull her hand out of his grasp.
Gripping his empty fist, Conrad said to Fia with a heavy heart, “Fia, what you’re feeling now isn’t right.”
“Then what is right?” Fia raised her head and looked at him with a glint of hope in her
eyes.
Not wanting her to feel insecure, Conrad patted her head gently and said, “You’re feeling tired recently. So you’ve forgotten something.”
Furrowing her brows, Fia lightly shoved his hand away and pouted. “Do I look like an idiot to you?”

Conrad looked at her bitterly and said, “See? You wouldn’t believe a word I said.”
Fia was stunned hearing that. She had a weird feeling that she had heard him say this before. Still… Although they were newly married and he had been treating her courteously, there was no need for him to speak to her so humbly.
Conrad stepped toward her, pressing his body against hers. This surprised Fia and made her take a few steps backward, distancing herself from him.
Seeing this, Conrad circled his arm around her waist and pulled her closer, not letting her
escape.
“Fia, don’t move around too much. You’re bearing our twin babies.”
Widening her eyes, Fia yelped in surprise, “No, it’s not possible!”
“I can bring you to the hospital to have a checkup if you want.”
“No, I’m not going!”
Fia glared at him and said, “Conrad, this joke isn’t funny, you know?”
She pushed him aside and said in a tired tone, “I’ll head to the bedroom to take a nap.”
Conrad stood there and watched her stepping away, feeling utterly doleful and dejected. He did not know what to do with her… Still, there was a hint as to how she became like this. It had something to do with Sally. So he decided to visit the Halls.
After asking Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. Whitley to keep an eye on Fia on the first floor, Conrad ordered Sophia to stand guard at the entrance on the ground floor too for safety measures. He even told her to accompany Fia if she wanted to leave the villa.
After making sure everything was in order at home, Conrad drove to the Halls’ home. Sally was coming downstairs when her mother told her someone was looking for her at the door. Mrs. Hall pulled her aside and asked cautiously, “You know the CEO of Maxwell Corporation?”
“Mom, his wife is my patient.”
Nodding her head, Mrs Hall said hesitantly, “Sally, it’s not that I don’t believe you. It’s just that this man doesn’t look like a good man Promise me you won’t pursue him, no matter how perfect a man he seems, okay
Sally shook her head and smiled bitterly before patting her mother’s arm.
“Mom, don’t worry I’m your daughter, remember? I will never do anything immoral!”
“Good” Mrs Hall felt relieved hearing this. Seeing that her daughter was not going to get herself into trouble, she brought Sally to meet Conrad.
As soon as he saw Sally walk out the door, Conrad hurried forward and said, “Doctor Sally, I need your help. Something happened to Fla.”
Sally frowned as she felt a pang of pain in her heart.
“What did you do to my brother?”
“Doctor Sally, what your brother did has nothing to do with you,” Conrad said to her coldly.
“But he’s my brother “Sally replied sadly, “I know he’s in the wrong for hurting Fia and you’ve got the right to seek revenge against him. But I also have the right to stand by my family’s side”
Conrad frowned and asked, “So you mean to say that you’re not going to help Fia?”
Deepening her frown, Sally looked away and said, “Mr. Maxwell, I’m no saint. My brother has been in bad shape in the past few days He doesn’t eat and drink, locking himself in his room all day Everyone in the family is worried for him. You can’t possibly ask me to help your wife after all you’ve done to my brother!”
She then looked at him with a stern face “She’s not just Fia. She’s your wife, Mr. Maxwell.”
Staying silent for a few seconds, Conrad decided to not waste time and briefed her about Fia’s condition and left, not intending to force her to help.
As Conrad’s words echoed in her mind, Sally stood at the gate dumbfounded. Now all she could think about was the frail, fragile Fla… who wanted to jump off a window and now had repressed memories.
The more she thought about her, the more Sally felt bad for her. She really liked that poor girl. Poor Fla… She genuinely wanted her to live a good life, free from all the untoward things that came her way.
Why…? Why did she have to go through this? How did it come to this?!
