Chapter 631
Conrad looked at Fia with half-lidded eyes.
“Did you hate me when we were younger?” he asked.
Fia snorted and turned away. “You were so arrogant back then, didn’t you know?”
“I…” Conrad furrowed his brows and coughed.
“What’s wrong with you?” Fia said, not able to put up the pretense anymore. She stood and bent down to look at
him, patting his chest gently to help him breathe.
Conrad gripped her hand and said, “Fia, if I could do it all over again, I would have been nicer to you when we were
children.”
Fia’s eyes flickered. Would she have fallen more in love with him if he had done that? Sometimes, things that
seemed good may not necessarily be so, and things that seemed bad may not be necessarily bad.
Everything had two sides to it.

she held him and pinched his cheeks before scolding, “I thought you promised to stop drinking. Why did you drink
so much? Also, why did you end up in the hospital?”
Conrad looked away, avoiding eye contact with Fia as he muttered, “Everyone was drinking at the party. I couldn’t
resist.”
“Are you an alcoholic? Do you know how worried I was when I found out you were in the hospital?”
Fia’s voice grew louder as she spoke, and there was an undeniable tone of hurt and grief under
1.
“I’m sorry, Fia.”
“Don’t apologize to me! You’re the one throwing up blood! You’re feeling uncomfortable, and you’ve even been
hospitalized!” Fia snarled. “If you want to die early, then go ahead and drink your heart out every day! When you
die from alcohol poisoning, I’ll take all your assets and marry someone else!”
“How dare you!” Conrad’s handsome face instantly darkened.
“If you don’t take care of yourself and die early, that’s what’ll happen! Go ahead and try me! I’m still young and
won’t stay a widow for the rest of my life for you!” Fia said, evenly meeting his angry gaze, their eyes burning with
flames.
Conrad was furious to the point a sharp pang ran through his chest, and he started coughing
violently.
Fia relented instantly and went back to patting his chest gently to help him breathe easier again.
“If you’re afraid of that happening, don’t drink anymore in the future,” Fia said.
Then, she reached over and pressed the call button on the bedside table. A nurse’s voice came through from the
other end, asking her what she needed at this late hour in a gentle voice.
“My husband is awake. Could you get his attending doctor to check on him?” Fia requested. “Right away!” the nurse
replied.
Within five minutes, Conrad’s attending doctor and a nurse arrived to examine him.
After the examination, the doctor turned to Fia and said, “You’re his wife, aren’t you?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Yes,” Fia confirmed with a nod.
“Come with me to my office. I have some things to discuss with you.’
“Okay,” Fia agreed, then turned to Conrad. She saw he was trying to get up and warned him. with a stern look,”
Stay in bed and rest. I’ll be back soon.”
Conrad was afraid to argue with her when she was angry, so he settled back down in bed. But once Fia left the
room, he got down and ran down the hallway barefooted, leaving Tiger to follow behind him.
“Are you aware of your husband’s condition?” the doctor asked Fia.
Fia nodded. She had read the medical report and had also spoken to Silas.
“He’s not even thirty years old, but his stomach is already in such a damaged state! He needs to take care of
himself. No drinking or smoking, and only light meals for him. He shouldn’t eat too much at every meal, and he
needs to avoid getting too tired in his daily life,” the doctor explained carefully. “Otherwise, he might easily start
coughing up blood again after he gets. discharged.”
Fia nodded and asked with some confusion, “Why is his stomach in such a bad shape?”
“It’s likely due to him having a weak body when he was a child and drinking excessively as an adult on top of having
an irregular diet. Over time, these problems accumulated and became worse,” the doctor replied.
Fia’s face darkened as she thought about her mother-in-law, Beryl. As a mother, the woman was highly unqualified!
Otherwise, how could Conrad have grown up having a weak body when he was in such a family?
