”Good day, miss. I’m looking for the Surgery Department. May I know which floor it is located on?”The man who was speaking to Fia had a pair of breath-taking, blue, deep set eyes. He was on the stairs with Fia, looking at her with an earnest gaze. Fia took a good look at him before answering his question, “It’s on the fourth floor.”“Thank you, miss.” The man nodded before stepping aside, allowing Fia to continue descending the stairs.Seeing this, Fia, too, nodded back at him politely before racing down the stairs. Instead of continuing his way to his supposed destination, the man kept on staring at Fia, eyeing at her slim, delicate figure and her innocent, good-willed eyes.She was so defenseless that he could easily push her and have her rolling down the stairs, injuring her severely. A good-hearted, defenseless girl like her was not a wicked wench like how Esme had described her. Heh, it seemed that word about Esme Manning being a liar was true after all!Reaching a corne

Fia quickly defended her husband. “No, he just respects my decisions.”“Right… I get it. You’re each other’s bae.” Tyler said proudly, “You see, Mary? You keep saying I don’t know any internet slang. Now I’ve just used one. Conrad, you’re your wife’s bae and she’s your bae!”“What’s bae?” Conrad asked with a frown. Silas hurried over to explain the slang to his boss, worried that he would make a fool of himself. Finally learning the meaning of “bae”, Conrad took a glance at Fia. He did not think he was her “bae”. She never openly said that she loved him. Still, he had fallen deeply for her. During the feast, Conrad drank a lot of alcohol with Tyler. Every time he raised his glass, Conrad would take a glance at Fia, hoping that she would be worried and stop him from drinking. Yet, she did not. After recovering her memory with hypnosis, Fia had been treating him very coldly. “Tyler, can you not drink so much? Sharon’s getting sleepy so I need to bring her home to bed. I can

”Why aren’t you coming home? Do you wanna sleep on the street?”“I’m coming home now.” Conrad stood up and said to Sapphire, “I’ll find time to talk to Victor tomorrow. I’ll tell him not to meet Eileen after she comes back.”Hope glittered in Sapphire’s eyes when she heard that. “Really?”“I’ll do what I can.” Then, Conrad held Fia’s hand and they walked home. Along the way, Fia asked softly, “Are you going to tell Victor your suspicion that Eileen is Jason’s sister?”“Yes,” Conrad answered without hesitation. Even though he was not able to confirm anything yet, telling Victor this would at least resolve this situation between Victor, Eileen, and Sapphire.Fia stopped in her tracks and asked, “Can I ask you and Victor not to tell Eileen?”Letting out a sigh, Conrad embraced her and said, “Alright. I won’t tell Eileen. You have my word.”Still, Eileen could still learn of this from other sources… but this was out of his hands.“If you and Victor don’t say anything, she won’t

The waiter said, “An old man passed out as soon as he stepped out from a taxi. He just lies there, not moving at all. No one dares to go near him or touch him because we fear we might make things worse. And the ambulance hasn’t arrived yet.”Fia anxiously asked, “He came here in a taxi?”“Yes.”Fia looked down and fidgeted in her chair anxiously. “He… He wouldn’t come with a taxi.”Conrad frowned and did not say a word. Then, he stood up, intending to go out and have a look. When he wanted to ask Fia if she wanted to tag along, she had already gotten up from her seat and walked away from the table. “Let’s head out and see what’s going on!”She was still worried that the old man could be Conall. No matter how much she disliked him, this father of hers shielded her when the motorcycle almost crashed into her back then. Her good conscience would not allow her to sit idly by and do nothing if something happened to him.“Excuse us, please.” Conrad held Fia’s hand tightly when he squ

Peter stared at the rising number as the elevator rose, and scoffed. “Even if I want the entire Parker Group?” Tiger ground his teeth. “That’s an enormous appetite you have there, Mr. Hall. Even if the boss were to give you the company, you wouldn’t be able to run it.” “You’re right. That’s why I want nothing physical.” When the elevator door opened, Peter strode out with pride. Tiger followed behind him as they reached Conrad and Fia. When the husband and wife saw Peter, they immediately walked over. Fia hurriedly said, “Peter, can you please help?” “I’m just a researcher. Why do you think I know how to concoct an antidote?” Peter said icily. Conrad said, “Your research is from the same branch. It’s easy if you want to learn it.” Peter let out a bitter laugh. “Even then, why would I want to save my own enemy?” Fia said, “I can destroy all the information that we have on you!” Peter frowned and stared at Fia for a few seconds. “And it’s up to you to make that deci
