“Fia, I’ll treat you well for the rest of my life. I won’t let you walk the spath your mother did.”
Fia bit her lips even as she trembled and her tears began to roll, her vision blurring.
She couldn’t see his handsface anymore, and her final defenses crumbled as she caved into his
arms.
“Fia, I…”
She opened her mouth and bit into his shoulder, cutting him off.
She put a lot of strength into it and soon, she could taste iron.
Conrad was feeling a bit sad, so he simply let her bite into him while he stroked her back.

In the past two days, he had found out too much about Esme. The more he found out, the more he realized that everything that she said about Fia seemingly by accident was fake.
She was a naïve and kind girl, but she made it sound like she was someone jealous, extreme, calculative, and a robber.
And the one thing that chilled his heart the most.
She didn’t go overseas and give up their love because she wanted to chase her dreams.
The relationship between her and the teacher was beyond ordinary. He didn’t want to investigate how far their relationship had developed and he didn’t care anymore.
He suddenly realized that he had no more love for Esme.
If he were to look back, he wasn’t even sure if he really did love her.
Because his feelings for Fia were different from his feelings for Eall those times ago.
He wasn’t obsessed with Esme. Otherwise, after she left and went overseas, he wouldn’t have simply let them get away with it with that temper of his.
However, as soon as Fia got close to another man, he would feel uneasy. He wanted that man to die on the spot!
Fia… She was the only girl that had made him obsessed.
After Fia had cried enough and let go of Conrad’s shoulder, she glanced at him.
She could even see the bite marks and blood through his gray shirt.
She was somewhat regretful as she pretended to calm down and looked away.
“We should leave the hospital today.”
“Sure. I’ll have Silas do the paperwork.”
“Okay.”
The two of them were silent for a few seconds when Fia started with another topic. “What’s the matter with Assistant Director Manning?”
“Abuse of power. The new director, Finn Parker, already had his eyes on him stago. The content

“You know?”
“A little. Not the whole story.”
Conrad turned to look at Fia. He didn’t explain that, while he knew that a new director was going to replace the old one, he didn’t know anything about Director Parker’s plans.
Fia looked at Conrad in shock. “Why didn’t you tell the Mannings earlier?”
“Why should I?”
“Aren’t you in love with Esme? How can you see her and her family fall into such a trap?”
Conrad coughed. He realized that he still had a long way to go before he could get his wife back.
She didn’t even trust him anymore.
“Fia, let’s not talk about this anymore, okay? Let’s forget about this.”
“What? Did it salt your wounds? You didn’t realize that the new director would just clean up the assistant director as soon as he cinto office?” Fia snapped at Conrad with a hint of coldness in her eyes.
