“She repulses me!” Conrad said with a deep frown.
Fia was stunned.
“I don’t know why, but every tI see her doing something, I feel like she has a motive behind it!”
“She…” Fia was afraid that Conrad was only saying these things to comfort her. “She did take a knife for you…”
“She didn’t have to. I could have avoided it myself. Even if I couldn’t, I don’t need her to rush over to protect me!” Conrad exclaimed, looking disgusted.
Fia stared at him in surprise.

He was worried that Britney would say something absurd in front of Fia, which would cause misunderstandings between them as a couple.
So, he had to make it clear before anything like that happened.
Fia pursed her lips and asked, “Why do you feel repulsed when you look at her? Does seeing her remind you of someone?”
Conrad’s brows deepened further. For a moment, he didn’t dare to be completely honest. Esme’s name was like a bomb between them, and he was afraid she would misunderstand if he brought her up.
“I want to be honest with you too.”
After knowing his aversion to Britney, Fia decided to share her doubts. They had suffered too much because of misunderstandings and miscommunications between them, and they couldn’t go through it another time.
From now on, she would try to probe Britney because of her suspicions.
What if Conrad felt grateful to Britney for taking that blow for him and fought with Fia because of that?
She needed to be honest with him and tell him what was on her mind.
Conrad’s gaze shifted. “What is it?”
Would she confess to him that her feelings for Jason were not just platonic?
“Britney remindsof my cousin.”
Conrad frowned and silently looked at Fia, and she continued, “From the day we had dinner together and she followedto the restroom to apply the hand cream, I felt uneasy in my heart even though my eyes weren’t completely healed yet. After I could see again, seeing her madeeven more uncomfortable.”
“Why are you tellingthis only now, after so long?” Conrad asked.
“I didn’t dare say it before. I was afraid you would think that I was crazy and paranoid,” Fia replied and lowered her gaze. “She’s obviously dead, so how could I see a sweet girl and think she was like her?”

“They clearly look and sound different, but I can’t shake off that feeling. Especially tonight, when I went to visit her at the hospital, I started to suspect that she’s Esme.”
Conrad could hear how conflicted she was and the torture she felt through these emotions.
He gently rubbed her back and said, “No matter who she is, my heart belongs to you. No one can take me away from you.”
Fia looked up at his words, her eyes sparkling with tears that rolled down after a moment as she couldn’t hold them back anymore.
“Silly. Why are you crying?” Conrad asked as he gently wiped away her tears. “Were you still worried that I would turn my back on you for her?”
Fia bit her lip and shook her head, but then she nodded quickly after.
Her emotions felt lost at sea, constantly fluctuating as the waves shifted.
Conrad held her tighter, pulling her into his arms as he rested his chin on her head. His gaze sharpened, and he said, “Don’t worry, Fia. I’ll find out everything about Miss Thomas!”
After he heard Fia’s confession, Conrad called Hellish Training Camp half an hour later while she was asleep.
“Find everything you can on Britney Thomas. Whatever she did both inside and outside the country, I want to know it all!” Conrad ordered.
The Hellish Training Camp was a powerful information organization with an international presence. Only the top three members of the camp had the authority to investigate anyone they wanted. Still, the other two members had to approve before one could assess someone’s complete profile.
