Chapter 1016
Fia shut her eyes and asked softly, “What were you busy with in the afternoon?”
“Some work related stuff,” Conrad said instinctively.
Fia said, “Sophia said that you got her to accompany me for a checkup after paying and then left in a hurry.
“There must have been something quite urgent, right? Otherwise, why would you leave during my pregnancy
checkup?”
Conrad swallowed, and hugged her shoulders a little tighter.
“Yeah. It was something a little more urgent. I’ve aggrieved you. I won’t do it next time.”
The corner of Fia’s lips curled. “I am your wife. Can’t you tell me?”
She already asked to such an extent. Conrad knew that if he continued to keep it hidden, she would only become
more suspicious.

Fia was slightly stunned. She pushed him away and looked at him seriously.
“What happened to her?”
“She fought with the servants at the old residence, saying that she wanted to leave.” Conrad frowned. “She was a
little injured, so I got the hospital head to arrange for a doctor to go over.”
“And?” Fia’s heart clenched without cause.
Conrad wiped his face and said, looking somewhat fatigued, “She took advantage when the doctor didn’t take
notice to pick up the forceps in the doctor’s kit to hurt herself.”
Fia felt heartache for him.
“The doctor said that her mental state was a little abnormal and she can’t be locked up, that we should let her do
the things she wants.” Conrad looked at Fia in embarrassment. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to keep it from you.”
Fia silently sighed and touched his face.
“You have become thinner.”
She said faintly, “Too many things have been happening recently and you’re also caught in a tight spot, aren’t you?”
Conrad looked at her silently, noticing the deep meaning behind her words.
She said, “Now that I think about it, we should have just ended everything in time to cut the losses. Then there
wouldn’t be so many things happening now.”
Conrad grabbed her hand and put it on his face again.
“Fla, no matter what happens, don’t give up on our marriage, okay?”
Fía chuckled softly. “I only made an assumption.”
Conrad looked at her nervously. “If you mind it, I’ll get a new place for her to stay.”
“There’s no need.” Fia smiled lightly. “She is your mother. To continuously lock her up is not right either. Isn’t she
sick? I reckon she wouldn’t be able to do anything overboard anyway.” Conrad was silent, not knowing if her words
truly came from her heart or if she was simply consoling him.

“I won’t let my mother hurt you again!” Conrad gave his promise sincerely.
“I believe you.” Fia added in her heart, ‘But I don’t believe her.’
“How were the babies and the checkup?” Conrad shifted the topic. “Sophia said everything was fine, but I’m still a
little worried, so I’m asking you.”
Fia’s gaze turned gentle. “It was indeed quite good. It’s also all thanks to Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. Whitley for putting in
so much effort in my diet.”
Conrad replied, “Great. I’ll reward them with a month’s wages!”
Fia nodded in agreement. He had always rewarded and punished according to merit. This was why the people
under him were loyal to him.
After lunch, Fia noticed that Conrad seemed to be in a good mood, so she spoke about Jason. getting hit.
Conrad’s expression froze slightly. “Fia, what do you want to know?”
Fia replied, “Have you been cleared of the accusation?”
“More or less.” Conrad thought of Jason and his mood plummeted. Fia asked carefully, “What happened to the dead
bodyguard?”
