Chapter 873
To Fia, Sally was not just her doctor. She was like her sister, someone who cared for her and was there for her when she was down. Yet now, she could feel that Sally’s heart had turned cold after the incident.
It was probably true that no friendship could last forever. Still, Fia could not help but feel saddened by this. The more sadness she felt, the more frustrated she became.
“Conrad!” Feeling hurt, Fia called out to his name. Receiving no reply, she got down from the bed and walked barefooted to the window.
It was still early in the morning and the sun had not completely risen yet. She opened the window to get sfresh air. She gazed out the window and stared at the greenery outside.
Then, she extended her hand, feeling an urge to touch the trees and mountains that were viewable yet far away…
Meanwhile…

Tiger handed Conrad a flash drive that contained Peter’s confession.
Receiving the device, Conrad said, “Good work last night. Go hand get srest.”
Before leaving, Tiger could not help adding, “Peter was emotionally and physically wounded. from last night. Doctor Sally might blMadam for this. It might be best for you to console Madam.”
“Alright, I get it.”
Conrad put the flash drive in his pocket and walked upstairs. Thinking that Fia might still be sleeping, he opened the door quietly, making as little noise as possible. She had slept a lot. more after she got pregnant so she usually did not wake up until 9am.
However, after opening the door, he saw that no one was in the room.
Feeling anxious, Conrad hurried into the bedroom to find her. As soon as he entered the room, Conrad saw a slender woman sitting at a window near the door.
“Fia!”
Surprised, Conrad instinctively called her nnervously. Despite that, he still tried to lower his voice so as to not scare the girl.
Fia glanced at him and smiled faintly, as though she was a young, innocent girl.
“The scenery outside the window is so beautiful. I want to touch it but it’s too far forto touch. Maybe it’s because my arm is too short.”
She seemed disappointed with herself. Then, she turned back to the window and tried reaching her hand out again. This tshe reached out the window even more eagerly that her upper body was outside the window. Conrad was shocked to see this. He hurried to her side. and hugged her, trying to hold her steady so she would not fall out the window.
“Fia.”
Hugging her, Conrad called her name, afraid.
“Why are you pullingback?” Fia sounded hurt and sad. “I just wanted to touch the scenery.”

Conrad did not dare to raise his voice at her. He could vaguely feel that something had gone wrong with Fia’s psyche.
“Okay! Bringthere.”
Fia hooked Conrad’s neck with her arms and gave him a pretty, innocent smile.
Conrad quickly carried her downstairs and brought her to their backyard. He pointed at a chrysanthemum and asked, “Do you know what flower this is?”
“Aww, Conrad. I’m no idiot. That’s a chrysanthemum,” Fia answered sweetly, as though all those heartaches and tragedies that she had been through had never happened.
Letting out a sigh of relief, Conrad said, “Yes, it’s a chrysanthemum. Do you still remember that I can’t differentiate the scent of flowers?”
“Really?” Still in his embrace, Fia turned her face at Conrad to have a good look at him. “You don’t have a sense of smell?”
Conrad’s heart sank upon hearing this. Something had to have happened to Fia but he had not idea what was wrong with her.
Fia knew this about him. This was why she had helped him to differentiate the scents of flowers with him back then. Yet she seemed to have completely forgotten about it.
“Fia, promisesomething.”
Seeing his saddened face, Fia hurriedly nodded. “Sure. What do you wantto promise?” Conrad looked at her and said somberly, “Promisethat you’ll never forget me.”
