Chapter 551
Fia did not understand. The man had not shown up in her life for so many years. There was no connection between
them whatsoever.
But why? Why did he save her like how he did?
“Mr. Maxwell, her head was hurt from the fall. Yet, she insisted on staying here, not wanting to see a doctor. Please,
sir. You should bring her for treatment.”
Seeing that the surgery was still ongoing, Conrad ordered Silas to stay there as he carried Fia to a doctor.
Along the way, Fia fit herself tightly in his embrace, completely dazed with confusion from what had happened.
“Why… Why did he save me… I said so many hurtful things to him. Yet… why…?”
Conrad could not help feeling sorry for her. He hugged her tighter and kissed the tears off her
eyes.
“Because you are a girl who is worth dying for.”

“Fia…”
Conrad did not know how to comfort her.
Suddenly, there was no sound from her. Conrad quickly looked down and saw that Fia had passed out, her face as
pale as a sheet.
In a private ward, Fia, already changed into a hospital gown, lay quietly on a bed.
Conrad and a doctor were whispering at the corner of the room as she slowly opened her eyes.
Her eyes widened as she stared speechless at the ceiling.
Then, she recalled what happened to Conall before a surge of dread overcame her.
Just what kind of drama she got herself into!
“Fia! Fia, are you alright? Are you hurt?”
She woodenly shook her head in response to Conrad’s words before closing her eyes again. So much had
happened. She did not think she could process it all.
The doctor leaned over to check on her. “Now that she’s come to, everything will be fine. Just a few sprays of that
medicine would solve the swelling.”
“Thank you, doctor.”
Conrad wished he knew a spell that could make Fia so small that she could fit into his pocket.
Then, he could bring her everywhere with him, making sure that no harm would come her way.
For a long while, Fia did nothing but cry silently with her eyes closed. Even her breathing was as quiet as a mouse.
Conrad tried to wipe off her tears with a handkerchief. Yet, no matter how much he tried, the tears just kept
coming.
He felt so sorry for her as he hugged her tightly.
“Don’t be scared, Fia. I’m here with you.”-
Fia opened her mouth but no words came out. She wanted to ask about Conall but did not dare to.
Suddenly, a few knocks could be heard on the door. Silas opened the door and walked into the
room.

Conrad covered Fia’s ears with his hands, worried that she would feel even more hurt from hearing just the old
geezer’s name.
Fia pushed his hands away and asked, “How is he?”
Silas hesitated momentarily before answering, “The surgery is a success. But… he’s not awake yet. Things are still
not looking up for him.”
Conrad could feel Fia’s body shaking in his arms as she heard this. He embraced her tighter and asked, “Has the
perpetrator been found yet?”
“No, unfortunately.” Seeing that Fia was still shaken from all of this, Silas avoided reporting the whole picture.
Conrad ordered with a grim face, “Send more men to investigate.”
“Yes, sir.”
Fia, still burying her face in Conrad’s chest, said, “Call the police too.”
Silas replied, “Director Parker is already on the case. He’s doing his best to find the perpetrator.”
Fia hugged Conrad’s waist tightly, feeling horrible from what happened.
Her conscience told her that she should pay Conall a visit. Yet, her heart did not want to meet the man. She wanted
to escape, to run away from all these dreadful things.
