    The waiter said, “An old man passed out as soon as he stepped out from a taxi. He just lies


    there, not moving at all. No one dares to go near him or touch him because we fear we might make


    things worse. And the ambnce hasn’t arrived yet.”


    Fia anxiously asked, “He came here in a taxi?”


    “Yes.”


    Fia looked down and fidgeted in her chair anxiously. “He… He wouldn’te with a taxi.”


    Conrad frowned and did not say a word. Then, he stood up, intending to go out and have at look. When


    he wanted to ask Fia if she wanted to tag along, she had already gotten up from her seat and walked


    away from the table.


    “Let’s head out and see what’s going on!”


    She was still worried that the old man could be Conall. No matter how much she disliked him, this


    father of hers shielded her when the motorcycle almost crashed into her back then. Her good


    conscience would not allow her to sit idly by and do nothing if something happened to him.


    “Excuse us, please.” Conrad held Fia’s hand tightly when he squeezed through the crowd. It took some


    time before they reached the old man… and indeed, it was Conall Parker.


    Conall saw Fia walking toward him as hey on the floor. He was so fretful that tears rolled down from


    his eyes.


    Unable to bear seeing him like this, Fia kneeled down to ask him, “What happened to you? Are you


    unwell?”


    However, Conall could not answer her. All he could do was stare at her with teary eyes.


    Someone from the crowd said, “We tried asking him the same thing but he could not utter a word.”


    “I think it’s a stroke. Maybe he had an untreated illness and it caught up to him.”


    Fia looked at Conall’s eyes and began suspecting something. She quickly bent down and took a whiff


    of his clothes… and there it was! The weird scent…! The scent that made her push the fake Britney off


    the bridge!


    “Quick! We need to check the security footage and find that taxi!” Fia ordered Conrad calmly.


    After getting his men to retrieve the security footage from the restaurant, Conrad stayed by Fia’s side to


    wait for Conall’s ambnce.


    While waiting for the ambnce, Fia felt as though she had gone back to the time she took care of her


    mother in the hospital in her final days.


    She could not do anything back then. She wanted to know the doctor’s diagnosis but she was also


    afraid that the doctor would say her mother was untreatable.


    “Is… Is he going to be fine?” Fia grabbed Conrad’s arm and asked.


    “Don’t worry. I’m here with you.”


    Fia murmured to herself, “I was under the spell of that weird scent once. It made my head fuzzy and I


    couldn’t think straight. Then, you became its victim. You said your body was weak and numb. Yet,


    unlike him, we both could move around if we wanted.


    Indeed, Conall’s symptoms were different from theirs. All he could do was look around and lie on the


    floor. His muscles could not move even a bit.


    Fia had a hunch that this time Conall’s situation was even worse than theirs. The perpetrator had


    probably used something more potent on him.


    Then, the ambnce finally came. Fia immediately pulled Conrad along to ride the ambnce with


    Conall. Seeing his daughter’s concern for him, Conall teared up even more.


    “What are you crying about?” Fia said to him in frustration, “You could have asked your secretary to


    send you here. Why did you take a taxi? Why are you so stupid?! Why did you leave yourself


    defenseless like that?!”


    Hearing his daughter scolding him, Conall was not afraid of dying anymore. He looked at her lovingly,


    content at listening to her getting angry at him. To him, it was all worth it. His daughter cared about him!


    He felt that he could die peacefully just by knowing this.


    “Don’t look at me like that! I haven’t acknowledged you as my father yet! So you better live on until I


    do!”


    Fia understood what he was thinking about when she noticed the gentle gaze in his eyes. She felt so


    conflicted as she continued chastising her old man for wanting to die peacefully right there and then.


    A few momentster, the ambnce finally arrived at the hospital. A group of doctors and nurses


    quickly rushed him into the operating room.


    Conrad embraced Fia and patted on her back tofort her. “Don’t worry, Fia. I’ve informed. Tiger. He


    could send someone over to analyze the drug they used on him. We’ll be able to tell what it is in no


    time.”


    “I’m not worried!” Fia refuted, “This is on him! He is reaping what he sowed!”


    However, tears rolled down from her eyes as she clung to Conrad. No matter how much she denied it,


    deep down she was still worried for Conall.
