Chapter 1088
“Mr. Maxwell, please return to your ward,” the hospital director said.
Conrad shoved him before marching straight into the emergency room. As soon as he stepped inside, he saw
bloodied bandages everywhere.
Silas and Tiger did not dare to stop him so all they could do was follow him inside. They, too, wanted to know what
had happened to Madam.
Sally collapsed onto the floor, weeping, like a baby. Jason sat on the floor as well, looking completely defeated.
As for Fia… she was just lying there… lifelessly…
When he saw Fia, Conrad slowed his steps down and asked, “What are you crying about, Sally?”
Sally raised her head and glared at him with her red, teary eyes. Then, she stood up and pushed him with every
ounce of energy she had in her body!
“It’s you! It’s all your fault!”
Silas quickly took Conrad’s arm and helped his still weakened boss to stand still. “Doctor Sally, our boss didn’t mean
to hurt Madam. It happened because…”
“So, you still intend to lie to us?!” Sally shrieked at Silas loudly, completely losing her cool. She turned and grabbed

“Doctor Sally!”
Tiger immediately stepped forward to stop her, taking the sharp blade away.
Peter stepped into the room and said, “Stop fooling around, Sally. Let’s go home.”
Sally stared at her brother in a daze, recalling what he had told her before she brought Fia into the emergency
room. She had a hunch that he had something to do with Fia’s death. Perhaps… It was that pill that he gave her.
Yet, she did not dare to confront him about it in front of Conrad.
“Let’s go home, Sally.”
Peter took Sally’s hand and helped her up to her feet. When leading his sister out of the room, he took another
glance at Fia.
God knows what kind of nightmarish life this girl would need to go through from today
onward.
If she became like him, turning cruel and heartless from a pure, good person…. What awaited her ahead was
nothing but torment.
They could not become as cruel and callous like Esme. If they could, they would never feel tormented when they
caused miseries in others’ lives.
Esme would only blame others for her misdeeds. She had never thought that she was in the
wrong.
Feeling cold from head to toe, Sally wanted to push her brother away and probe him about that pill. Still, again, she
knew she could not do it here.
She turned and tearfully looked at Jason who was sitting nearby.
“… Jason…”
This man… he must be in so much pain, pain that was even worse than hers for losing Fia like that.
“Jason…”
Sally called out to him, yet there was no response from him. Seeing him like this, tears began. to stream down her
face even more.
Suddenly, someone rushed into the room.
“Fia!”
It was Conall and Finn. They rushed to Fia tearfully. It was quite rare to see these two men, two giants in the
business and law enforcement world, weep like this.
Conall caressed his daughter’s face with his trembling hand and asked, “Fia… my poor girl, what happened to you?”
Finn grabbed the hospital director’s collar. “What happened to my niece?!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe director shook his head and said, “I’m sorry, Director Parker. We did our best to save her. But… this girl… her
heart and lungs were too weak… She had several organ failures during the operation… She even had a high fever
when she was brought in. Her body… She was worn out… completely…”
The director could not believe it himself. This girl was only twenty-three. Yet, her body was as frail as a ninety-year-
old. No matter how much they tried, they had no means of saving her.
“She’s still so young! How could she have organ failure?!” Finn could not believe what he heard.
The director took a look at Conrad before saying, “She had a surgery before this. On top of that, she had been
emotionally unstable as of late. And… Before this all happened, she had not even recovered from the miscarriage
she had a while back. This had weakened her body… Then
She jumped into a river in winter.”
Finn was so pissed that his eyes could burst in flames. He stepped toward Conrad and threw a punch at him.
Silas and Tiger quickly stopped him, shielding their boss behind them so he would not be able to land his punch.
Conrad, on the other hand, kept staring at Fia, with despair filling his eyes. He slowly walked to her lifeless body with
a bitter smile.
“Fia… Please… wake up… Don’t play dead… Please don’t be angry with me anymore.”
