Chapter 728
“I suppose you’re right about that.” Fia was not trying to find out about Grandpa Maxwell. She was just feeling bad
for Conrad. The greater of a man he was right now, the more hardship he must have been through when he was
younger.
She felt regret that she could not be there for him when he went through all that. She could not go through it
together with him back then.
“Honey, let’s try not to fight anymore from now on, okay?” Fia hugged Conrad’s arm tightly as they walked out of
the ranch.
Conrad stopped and put his arms around her. “Okay.”
Fia nudged her head against his shoulder and said, “But I keep having bad thoughts from time to time. Maybe I’ve
gone crazy.”
“No, you haven’t. It’s my fault,” Conrad said to her anxiously.
“No. I know quite well that there’s something wrong with me.” Fia thought about it for a while before saying, “How
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtabout this?”
She raised her head and looked at Conrad. “Let’s go to a hypnotherapist.”
“Why do you want to go to a hypnotherapist?” Conrad asked in confusion.
Fia replied enthusiastically, “A hypnotherapist can erase all the memories of you off of my brain. So, I’ll remember
only good things about you! Then, I won’t be reminded of how you mistreated me in the past and get angry. Our
marriage will be a happy one!”
Conrad frowned upon hearing this. Silas did suggest he seek help from a hypnotherapist, but he refused.
“Fia, this is evading the root cause of the problem. It doesn’t solve anything.” He caressed her face and spoke to
her earnestly.
“If you forget some of our past, then our relationship would not be whole,” he continued, trying to dissuade her
from that idea.
Fia looked at her reflection in Conrad’s eyes. She saw her younger self-that little girl who got bullied by a group of
rich, spoiled brats.
“Why would I want to keep the bad memories?” A shade of sadness loomed over her eyes when she thought about
those painful memories. “Wouldn’t it be better that I forget them?”
“Fia, if you forget…”
“Conrad!!” A loud bark interrupted Conrad’s words. In his first instinct, Conrad pulled Fia to his back to protect her.
Fia was surprised by the change of events. She took a peek over Conrad’s shoulder and saw Victor tossing a
wooden bat at Conrad. Conrad raised his arm to block the bat tossed at him, and forcefully whipped his leg to kick
Victor’s stomach, sending him flying a few meters away.
“Oof!” Victor spit out some wine when he fell to the ground.
“I see you have a death wish!” Conrad spoke to his cousin coldly.
It was quite obvious that Victor was drunk from drinking too much alcohol. He stood up dizzily, putting a hand over
his injured stomach, before barking at Conrad again.
“You purposely sabotage my business! For what?! Because you don’t like me? Is that it? I worked so hard
to obtain that hotel in Oceania! How could you take it away from me, huh? How could you and Tyler scheme against
me like that?!”
Conrad glared at him coldly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing that a crowd was gathering around them, Fia stepped out from Conrad’s protection and walked toward
Victor.
“Fia, don’t go near him!” Conrad pulled her hand to stop her.
“It’s okay. Victor has never hurt me before.” Fia smiled and gently pushed his hand away.
Conrad took a few steps back and glared at Victor. He swore to himself. If Victor hurt her, he would chase him out
of Gryphon City.
“Victor, I have something to tell you.” Fia gave Victor a friendly smile.
Victor’s anger dissipated when he saw Fla. This woman was Eileen’s best friend. So, he had no reason to get mad at
her. Nonetheless, Victor did not want to show weakness in front of his cousin. So, he pouted.” Don’t expect me to
apologize to him! He was the one who crossed the line first!”
Fia shook her head. “I just want to tell you something you might be unaware of.”
After hesitating for a moment, Victor nodded. “Okay, out with it.”
Fia turned to Conrad and said, “Give me some time to talk to your cousin, okay?”
Conrad wanted to refuse but Victor mocked him sarcastically, “Don’t fret about it. This girl has gone through hell
and lived. I won’t hurt her!”
After walking away from the crowd, Fia looked at Victor and said, “Victor, I think you misunderstood. Conrad means
you well. That hotel in Oceania is controlled by some shady people. If you…”
