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 some fresh
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…
“Sir, these are the words that Peter Hall said after we broke him for confessions. Things aren’t looking good for Ms.
Manning.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTiger handed Conrad a flash drive that contained Peter’s confession.
Receiving the device, Conrad said, “Good work last night. Go home and get some rest.”
Before leaving, Tiger could not help adding, “Peter was emotionally and physically wounded. from last night. Doctor
Sally might blame Madam 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 name nervously. 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 for me to 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 time she 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 pulling me back?” Fia sounded hurt and sad. “I just wanted to touch the scenery.”
“I’ll bring you downstairs. You’ll get a clearer view there.”
Conrad did not dare to raise his voice at her. He could vaguely feel that something had gone wrong with Fia’s
psyche.
“Okay! Bring me there.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFia 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, promise me something.”
Seeing his saddened face, Fia hurriedly nodded. “Sure. What do you want me to promise?” Conrad looked at her
and said somberly, “Promise me that you’ll never forget me.”
