“Alright, hang on! I’ll tell my brother to go over right now!” Sally hung up and then turned to look at her brother.
“Conrad used double the amount…”
Peter frowned. “He wanted to kill himself?”
Sally shook her head. “He’s becoming too desperate to recover his memories.’

“His body won’t be able to take it,” Peter said without moving.
Sally walked over and tugged his hand. “Let’s go look at him. I’ve promised Ms. Sia to go over.”
“Ms. Sia, huh?” Peter wanted to see who this “Ms. Sia” was. She sounded quite talented herself.
The doorbell rang and Fia went over to open the door. It was Silas and the Hall siblings.
She gave them a simple hi and then moved to the side. However, someone stood right in front of her.
“Ms. Sia?” Peter looked at her with mixed feelings.
Fia looked at him in silence.
“You…” Peter wanted to say something but decided not to in the end.
He didn’t need to ask… He didn’t even need to think about it. He knew who she was in one glance.
He was part of the plan to fake Fia’s death all those years ago.
To have those kinds of abilities in five years and have two children… Who could it be other than Fia herself?
“You gave him the drugs?” Fia pretended not to know him and urged, “He’s inside. Take a look at him.”
Peter nodded and walked in.
Fia was also quite curious about what kind of feelings Peter had for Conrad, and so she followed suit.
After checking Conrad, Peter took out a small vial for Silas.
“Feed him three pills to help his condition.”
Silas then looked at Sally.
Sally then looked at him with irritation. “If my brother wanted to harm him, he has to do it secretly, doesn’t he? My parents are quite old! They can’t handle any more surprises!”
After hearing that, Silas’s doubts were dispelled and he quickly gave Conrad the medicine.
After about ten minutes, Conrad was drowned in his own sweat, but his expression was much better.
He struggled, trying to get up, but he was still quite weak. He could feel the pain inside of him slowly spreading.
Peter saw his condition and simply said, “You took too much of the drug. The medicine I just gave you will help you neutralize the drug inside of you so that it won’t harm your body too much.”
He then glanced at Fia instinctively and said, “I gave your secretary a bottle just in case you do something this stupid again.”
Conrad’s expression was still sour. “I just want to recover my memories soon.”
“It won’t end well for you if you rush. Not to mention that a ruined body is useless even if you recover your memories.” Peter then gave Fía another glance. “No matter how rich or talented a man is, he’s a burden if he doesn’t have a healthy body.”
Conrad considered his words seriously.
His amber eyes were like flames being extinguished as he looked at Fia with complicated feelings.
Meanwhile, Fia simply looked confused. She didn’t know why he looked so defeated.
“Ms. Sia, take your two children home.” His words were full of dejection as he looked away.
Fia frowned. “Sure.”
She then took the twins’ hands. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Fia had just taken the two children’s hands.
Adrian suddenly asked, “Are you feeling you’re not good enough?”
Silence filled the apartment.
Adrian gave Peter a look. “It’s just temporary! Why did you scare him like that?!”
“He’s your son?” Peter asked as he glared at Fia.
“Yes, this is my son,” Fia answered honestly. “Don’t take him too seriously. He’s just a kid and he doesn’t think twice before saying anything.”
Peter instinctively glanced at Conrad. He wasn’t sure what to think.
Conrad didn’t even know that his own wife and children were standing right in front of him.
“Adrian, he’s doing this for his own good. He’s not trying to humiliate him.” Fia patted Adrian on his head. “Don’t misunderstand him.”
Adrian became even more unhappy as he pulled his hand from Fia’s grasp and walked out.
Fia was shocked and quickly chased after him together with Irene.
When they were home, Adrian angrily said, “Mommy, why do you treat everyone so gently except Uncle Maxwell?”
