Chapter 314
“Why didn’t you tell me about that?” Conrad said as he held Fia’s shoulders tightly, his eyes becoming red.
“Tell you what? That my cousin didn’t want to help you? That she only helped because I dragged her there?
Wouldn’t that make you detest me even more?
“Or you would think that I was useless because you couldn’t win, and that I told the adults to come and see you
fail?”
Conrad couldn’t argue with those points.
“Everyone knew how stubborn you were, that you had a bad temper because of your parents, and you hated it
when people would do things unfairly.”
“Fia…” All the things that happened in the past began to slowly appear in his mind. It had only just dawned upon
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthim that his understanding of Fia all came from Esme’s mouth.
“And the truth was that I was a coward, pretentious person that could never suffer with you,” Fia said with a smile
as her eyes were filled with tears. “Meanwhile, my cousin is perfect.”
“Fia, I…” Conrad frowned deeply as he held Fia’s shoulders and didn’t dare to let go.
He could feel her disappointment. The crystal–like tears that shined in her eyes, how much pain did they carry?
“It’s not like that.” Conrad tried to explain. “I wasn’t angry because you called the adults. I didn’t realize that at all.”
Fia gave a smile, but her tears rolled down her cheeks anyway.
“Esme told you something gently and you thought that I was a coward, a deserter, right?”
Conrad was stunned. He wanted to agree, but as a man, he felt that it was very shameless to push the
responsibility onto someone else.
Not to mention that he had some problems too.
“But Conrad… She could say whatever she wanted. If you didn’t believe it, you wouldn’t have seen me like that.”
Fia took in a deep breath, her face covered with sorrow and tiredness.
“From the very beginning, you didn’t treat me as someone who could go through thick and thin with you.”
“Fia…”
“So, I don’t know why you want to make me stay. Because Esme destroyed your dreams, you can simply choose
any woman to be your wife now?”
“Don’t be ridiculous!” Conrad said as he pulled her into his arms and held her tightly.
“I’m not someone like that, Fia!”
“Then, why didn’t you resist three years ago when Grandpa and Grandma forced us to marry?”
Conrad was stunned as he held her even together and whispered in her ears, “Because I know that if it wasn’t you,
it would be some other girl. And rather than marrying some stranger, I rather it be you.

That was because he saw a pedicab suddenly get onto the sidewalk and head straight for them.
Fia could hear something coming from behind her. She turned around only to see a pedicab that had lost control
going to crash into her.
“Ah!” She screamed as she could feel her world spin, just like the day when she got into the accident.
Conrad didn’t hesitate and simply grabbed her before throwing himself to the flowerbed nearby.
Meanwhile, she held onto Conrad’s neck tightly, holding on for dear life.
In her subconsciousness, she still depended on him.
When he fell on the ground, he was holding her in his arms and her head knocked on his arm.
She didn’t suffer much.
But Conrad wasn’t so lucky. His back slammed into the bricks used to decorate the flowerbed.
At that moment, Fia felt her heart stop. She couldn’t hear anything until Conrad grunted in pain. “Conrad!”
