Chapter 849
Fia looked at Sophia’s figure as she slipped away and squeezed Conrad’s hand. “Look at how scary you are toward
her. She’s scared of you.”
“I treat Tiger and Silas the same way too,” Conrad said, not feeling that there were any problems with that. There
had to be a boundary between the leader and the subordinate. They couldn’t be friends forever.
“But the way you are with Tyler isn’t that friendly either,” Fia said as the thought crossed her mind.
Conrad frowned and asked, confused, “You think Tyler and I are friends?”
“Aren’t you friends? Why did you save him before if you aren’t friends?” Fia asked as she couldn’t really understand.
“He wasn’t the only one that I saved,” Conrad added.
Fia pondered and asked, “Other than Tiger, Silas, and Ford… Who else did you save?”
Conrad
gave it a thought and said, “Silas saved me too.” Otherwise, he would never have kept him by his side as he was so

“True!” Fia looked at Conrad and nodded. “But there’s something about you that attracted them. Otherwise, they
wouldn’t work themselves to the bone just for you.”
Conrad scratched Fia’s nose and said, “Then is there something on me that’s attractive to you?”
Fia was stunned. How did the topic shift to her instead?
“Would it be enough to attract you forever? So that you’ll stay by my side and never leave me?” Conrad asked
seriously.
Fia blinked and pulled her hand away before heading straight to the kitchen. “I’m hungry.” Before they were done

The sweeter the words were, the easier she could expose her real thoughts. It was dangerous for her to stay in a
place where she didn’t leave any escape route for herself.
Conrad glared at her escape with a hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes. He chased after her and caught her wrist.
“Careful. Don’t slip.”
After they had eaten, they went to Marcus’ house.
The journey felt a bit claustrophobic. Fia knew it was because of the questions he asked her before the meal.
She thought about it and tried to break the awkwardness. “Conrad, as long as you don’t hurt me, I probably won’t
ever leave you.”
Conrad held the steering wheel and nodded. “I know.”
In the end, she hid her true feelings from him. He wondered if it was because there was someone she couldn’t
forget staying in her heart.
Fia didn’t give it much thought and sald, “I’ll take a nap. Wake me up when we’re there.”
“Sure,” Conrad said as he rolled up the car window so that it would be quieter inside the car so she could sleep.
Within her dream.
Fia was in a world of gray. There was no one there. There was nothing.

As she walked, she suddenly felt something slimy under her. She looked down, and she was scared by what she
saw.
A python slithered between her feet. She had just wanted to run when the snake suddenly coiled around her waist.
She wanted to scream and call for help, but no sound came from her mouth.
She wished she could die on the spot! She simply couldn’t take the feeling of her freezing in
fear.
The python suddenly raised its head, and there were two horns on its head. It looked like a serpent or a linnorm…
“Ah!” Fia screamed out in fear, her heart still thumping.
Conrad quickly stopped the car by the roadside and held her hand.
He asked her worriedly, “What happened? Are you alright?”
“I’m fine,” Fia said and pulled her hand out from his grasp, grabbing a tissue paper to wipe the sweat. “It’s just a
nightmare… It’s so terrifying. I almost couldn’t tell that I was dreaming.”
Conrad looked at her with mixed feelings. “What kind of dream did you have?”
“I dreamed of a huge snake, and it coiled itself around my waist. It has such a huge head with two horns. It looks
like a linnorm…” Fia took a deep breath. “It was so scary. I felt like a snake was choking me.”
