    “It’s okay. You go see the doctor. Don’t worry about me. I’m not a kid anymore,” Fia said with a blush. It


    felt so sudden and ufortable for her to see Conrad treating her so gently and lovingly.


    A short while after Conrad entered the study, Marcus brought in some milk and nuts as snacks. After


    drinking his milk, hezed on the chair next to Conrad’s, pulling a long face. He asked Conrad with a


    stern, serious nce, “So what happened?”


    “Something happenedst night. It had made her quite agitated, greatly affecting her emotions.” After a


    pause, Conrad said, “I’ve done something behind her back. This morning, a friend she’s very close with


    gave her a call. I think they had a fight.”

    Marcus nodded and asked, “And?”


    “When I went back to the bedroom, she was sitting by the window, looking at the scenery outside. She


    seemed to have be overly innocent and naive, seemingly clueless about the ugly, bad things in


    the world. Not only that, her behavior and attitude had reverted to how it was when we just got


    married…”


    Upon hearing this, Marcus’ face turned sullen.


    “Your wife’s condition has worsened to a point beyond my estimation. She is not only seeing


    hallucinations but her memory is also being repressed at the moment.”


    “Why did this happen, doctor? She’d gotten better after your treatment.”


    Conrad could not handle the news Marcus had ryed to him. It was really weird too. Although her


    memory was repressed and inhibited, she was treating him very well. She seemed very joyful and


    healthy too.


    Nheless, Conrad knew the risk of leaving her untreated. When it came to Fia’s life and well -being,


    he could not afford to take any risk. It had frightened him when he saw her reach out of the window to


    “touch the scenery”.


    “Mr. Maxwell, mental disorder is not something we can easily treat in a day or two. The patient may


    look fine and healthy now but it’s because she’s repressing her demons. When the emotional trauma


    and stress be too unbearable, her psyche would undergo a massive breakdown, resulting in


    various adverse effects as a coping mechanism. Like Mrs. Maxwell’s repressed memory. If left


    unmonitored and untreated, she will also be troubled by mood swings and severe hallucinations. In one


    instance, she will seem fine and happy but in the next she would be overly wary of people around


    her, thinking that everyone wants to harm her. If things get dire, she might even resort tomitting


    suicide or murder.”


    After giving Conrad a lengthy, somber exnation, Marcus took a breather before continuing, “I


    suggest we admit her into a psychiatric hospital so she can receive full treatment.”


    Conrad glowered at Marcus and said, “She’s not crazy! You have the ability to treat her. There’s no


    need to send her to a mental asylum! I will not allow her to go through more. torment!”


    “You can pick any psychiatric hospital that you arefortable with. I’ll then work under their


    employment to treat her one-on-one.”


    Hearing this, Conrad furrowed his brows and gave it some thought before speaking.


    “I still don’t agree with this idea. I’m not sending her to a mental asylum. However, I can get a vi for


    you in our neighborhood so you can live nearby and treat her.”


    With a bitter smile, Marcus said, “Mrs. Maxwell’s condition is quite unstable right now. She can lose


    control of herself at any time. She needs to be monitored twenty-four hours a day, round the clock.”


    Conrad frowned upon hearing that. He was notfortable with letting an outsider live with. them


    under the same roof.


    Still, Marcus was a doctor. So he was willing to concede if he could make Fia better.


    “Mr. White, if you don’t mind living in our unimpressive home, you could stay with us until Fia gets


    better.”


    “Oh, you jest, Mr. Maxwell. How could the home of the great Conrad Maxwell be ‘unimpressive “?”


    Marcus gave a sarcastic smile before saying, “You go downstairs and provide your wife some


    company. I need time to pack up my stuff.”


    Returning to the living room, Conrad saw Fia sitting on the sofa and staring nkly at the space in front


    of her. He approached her and asked cautiously, “What’s wrong?”


    “Oh, nothing.” Fia regained her rity in an instant and beamed at him adorably. “It’s just I feel bored


    when you’re not around.”


    Conrad cursed at himself for being so careless. He should have asked Sophia toe along so she


    would have somepany.


    “So what did the doctor say?” Fia meekly held Conrad’s hand and asked in concern. Her timid behavior


    was just like how she was when they got married three years ago.


    Seeing her like this, Conrad felt bad for her. He now knew just how difficult it had been for her to handle


    and adjust to her new life back then. She was chosen as a recement to marry a man who she did


    not love. The hurt and dejection she felt must have been so hard on her. No one knew how difficult she


    had it and she had no one to confide in. Not only that, she had to also bear with and entertain his


    temper, pacifying him every single day.


    “It’s just a little difficult to treat. That’s all.” He held her hand as he knelt in front of her. “Fia, the doctor


    said that I have to undergo a long-term treatment. And we’ll need you, my wife, to cooperate with us


    too.”


    Looking at his glittering, amber eyes, Fia nodded without hesitation. “I’ll give him my full cooperation.”


    “To monitor my condition, the doctor will have to stay with us for some time. Are you okay with that?”


    “He’ll live under the same roof as us?”


    Fia did not understand why the doctor needed to stay with them. There were, after all, plenty of other


    vis in the neighborhood. Could he not stay in those vis andmute daily?
