“Why didn’t you tellabout that?” Conrad said as he held Fia’s shoulders tightly, his eyes becoming red.
“Tell you what? That my cousin didn’t want to help you? That she only helped because I dragged her there? Wouldn’t that make you detesteven more?
“Or you would think that I was useless because you couldn’t win, and that I told the adults to cand see you fail?”
Conrad couldn’t argue with those points.
“Everyone knew how stubborn you were, that you had a bad temper because of your parents, and you hated it when people would do things unfairly.”
“Fia…” All the things that happened in the past began to slowly appear in his mind. It had only just dawned upon him that his understanding of Fia all cfrom Esme’s mouth.

“Fia, I…” Conrad frowned deeply as he held Fia’s shoulders and didn’t dare to let go.
He could feel her disappointment. The crystal–like tears that shined in her eyes, how much pain did they carry?
“It’s not like that.” Conrad tried to explain. “I wasn’t angry because you called the adults. I didn’t realize that at all.”
Fia gave a smile, but her tears rolled down her cheeks anyway.
“Etold you something gently and you thought that I was a coward, a deserter, right?”
Conrad was stunned. He wanted to agree, but as a man, he felt that it was very shameless to push the responsibility onto someone else.
Not to mention that he had sproblems too.
“But Conrad… She could say whatever she wanted. If you didn’t believe it, you wouldn’t have seen me like that.”
Fia took in a deep breath, her face covered with sorrow and tiredness.
“From the very beginning, you didn’t treatas someone who could go through thick and thin with you.”
“Fia…”
“So, I don’t know why you want to makestay. Because Edestroyed your dreams, you can simply choose any woman to be your wife now?”
“Don’t be ridiculous!” Conrad said as he pulled her into his arms and held her tightly.
“I’m not someone like that, Fia!”
“Then, why didn’t you resist three years ago when Grandpa and Grandma forced us to marry?”

“Don’t misunderstand, Fia. It’s not that you’re not good! But I’m…” His words stopped.
That was because he saw a pedicab suddenly get onto the sidewalk and head straight for them.
Fia could hear something coming from behind her. She turned around only to see a pedicab that had lost control going to crash into her.
“Ah!” She screamed as she could feel her world spin, just like the day when she got into the accident.
Conrad didn’t hesitate and simply grabbed her before throwing himself to the flowerbed nearby.
Meanwhile, she held onto Conrad’s neck tightly, holding on for dear life.
In her subconsciousness, she still depended on him.
When he fell on the ground, he was holding her in his arms and her head knocked on his arm.
She didn’t suffer much.
But Conrad wasn’t so lucky. His back slammed into the bricks used to decorate the flowerbed.
At that moment, Fia felt her heart stop. She couldn’t hear anything until Conrad grunted in pain. “Conrad!”
