    Chapter 876


    Seeing Fia being suspicious, Conrad patiently exined, “My condition requires twenty-four- hour


    monitoring by a licensed physician. So it’s much easier for him to treat me if he stays with us.


    Learning the reason for needing a live-in doctor, Fia’s eyes shone and she said, “I see. Okay, I’m fine


    with that. It’s for my husband’s health after all.”


    Still, Marcus was not someone who knew courtesy and manners. When they reached their vi,


    Conrad asked Ss to prepare the guest room for the doctor but Marcus took interest in the cottages


    behind the vi. He pointed at one of the cottages and said, “I’ll live in that one.


    Fia stared at Marcus in surprise and disbelief. Not wanting to keep the doctor in the dark, Sst smiled


    at Marcus politely, “Mr. White, that’s the amodation for the housekeepers and bodyguards.”


    However, Marcus responded with a bright smile, “Oh, don’t you worry about me. I only need a ce to


    stay.”


    Despite not understanding, Marcus’ decision, Conrad conceded and ordered Ss, “Ss, go tidy up a


    cottage with Mrs. Whitley for the doctor.”


    “Yes, sir.”


    Having received his orders, Ss took the luggage off Marcus’ hands and hurried to find his mother.


    However, a brief momentter, he came rushing back and said awkwardly, “My mom told me that


    there’s no vacant cottages left. Well… there were two vacant ones but they’re now used as


    storehouses. Mr. White, perhaps you might find staying in the guest room in the vi more to your


    liking.”


    “Naw, it’s fine. I’ll take one of the storehouses then.”


    Ss cautiously turned and looked at Conrad, waiting for his decision.


    Conrad nodded and said, “Just provide Mr. White the ce he wants.”


    Seeing this, Fia added, “Get more people to help move out the stuff in the storehouse and clean up the


    ce. Make sure Mr. White’s amodation is clean andfortable.”


    “Yes, sir! Yes, madam!”


    Ss hurried back into the vi to get help. A momentter, Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. Whitley came to help


    clean the storehouse. The bodyguards were ordered to help move the stuff inside.


    ncing at the bodyguards, Marcus joked cynically, “Mr. Maxwell has a really tight home security.


    Quite impressive.”


    Looking at the bodyguards, Fia pulled Conrad’s sleeve and whispered, “I’ve been meaning to ask…


    Why do we have so many security guards in the house all a sudden?”


    Conrad felt a pang of hurt in his chest upon hearing that. Back then, there were no security guards in


    their home.  had only Mrs. Taylor as herpany in the whole house. It must have been very lonely


    for her.


    “And… this vi isn’t the one we lived in, is it?”  frowned and pointed at a vi nearby. That one. It


    should be that one. That one’s our home.”


    Conrad hugged her and smiled. “It’s okay. They’re all the same. Besides, we can afford to live


    anywhere we like.”


    Despite still being ufortable with all the sudden changes, Fia was overjoyed to see


    Conrad hugging her with such care and love. So she allowed him to escort her into the vi, still in his


    embrace.


    At lunch time, Marcus was not willing to have his meal at the same table as Conrad and Fia. He did not


    want the treatment of a guest. Instead, he went to the backyard to have lunch with Mrs. Taylor, Mrs.


    Whitley, and the bodyguards.


    Due to him not behaving haughtily and snobbishly around them, the housekeepers and bodyguards got


    along with Marcus rather quickly at lunch. Nheless, they were still shocked by his enormous


    appetite for food. His hunger was not satiated until he ate three. people’s worth of meals.

    After lunch, Conrad escorted Fia to the master bedroom for some rest. Ss stood by at the door.


    When he saw his bossing over, he hurried to him, “Sir, I’ve done what you asked.”


    Conrad nodded and asked, “So, found anything peculiar?”


    Ss shook his head and said, “No, sir. I’ve rummaged through his luggage thoroughly. There’s nothing


    dangerous there. He only brought a few sets of clothes and some books about psychology. Oh, he has


    a wooden box that contains some perfume and incense. There’s also a chain-like equipment that could


    be used for hypnosis.”


    Conrad recalled Marcus’ suggestion when he heard the word “hypnosis “. He wondered if Fiat could


    still go through hypnotic treatment now.


    “Ss, has Peter confessed anything about Esme?”


    Ss made a conflicted face and said, “Peter Hall is still mentally wounded and in a provoked state. He


    locks himself in his room and smashes things everywhere in the house. I’ve had Tiger infiltrate the


    Hall’s home to force a confession out of him but we’ve had no luck. He refuses to say anything about


    Esine Manning.”


    Conrad smirked. “Heh, so he loves her so much? To the point of such loyalty? But is it worth it though?”


    —


    “Ss had nothing to say about it.


    Overwhelmed by frustration, Conrad asked again, “Has Director Parker uncovered anything yet?”
