    Chapter 1238


    Yet, Fia could never bring herself to lose her temper at her kids. She turned toward Conrad and red


    at him coldly.


    “Why did you set 1126 as your password?”


    “Indeed. Why is that, Uncle?” Adrian and Irene were curious too.


    Conrad did not understand why they were so fixated on the password but he answered them anyway,


    “It was Ss who set it.”


    (( })


    Fia and her children were stunned hearing that.


    Conrad thought he was not being clear enough so he continued exining patiently, “This apartment


    once belonged to Annie Parker. She intruded here a few days ago so I asked Ss to set a new


    password.”


    Letting out a sigh of relief, Fia said, “You have a good and loyal assistant.”


    It was good news that he was not the one who set it. If not, she would begin to suspect that he might


    not have lost his memories in the first ce.


    “What’s wrong with thebination?” Conrad asked.


    “No, nothing.” Fia took her children’s hands and turned away. “Alright, you two. I suppose you’ve seen


    enough. Let’s go home?”


    “But Mommy, Uncle Maxwell looks so pitiful.” Irene could not bring herself to leave poor Uncle Maxwell


    behind like this.


    Adrian felt the same too. His voice was even softer than his sister’s when he spoke to their mother.


    “Uncle Maxwell fainted in his kitchen just now. I think he hasn’t eaten anything yet. He must be hungry.”

    “What does that have anything to do with you?” Fia peered at her son intently.


    Adrian answered in a timid tone, “Uncle Maxwell had fed us plenty of yummy food. And gifted us a lot


    of nice toys.”


    Irene was much braver because she always got her way due to her weaker body. “We must repay him!”


    Suppressing her frustration, Fia took out her phone and handed it to her son. “Fine, you order his food.


    I’ll pay for him!”


    “Mommy, this doesn’t feel right,” Adrian weakly protested.


    Irene, on the other hand, spoke her mind loudly, “This would make us look insincere!”


    Doing her best to remain calm, Fia said, “Stop pushing the envelope, kids.”


    Thus, Fia immediately dialed Ss’ phone number, “Your CEO has fainted at his home. Youe and


    take care of him!”


    Without waiting for Ss to answer, she hung up and swept her children up from their feet, preparing to


    return home.


    “Wait!” Conrad called out to her, “I’m… I’m not feeling too good. I think I’m about to throw up…”


    As he finished his words, he began retching.


    Fia was never a cold-hearted person. So, she quickly turned back to bring a trashcan nearby to him.


    Conrad was telling the truth. He threw up so much that he seemed like he was going to vomit out his


    insides!


    Although Fia still looked cold and indifferent, deep in her heart she felt so conflicted seeing him like


    this. She was used to seeing him standing tall and proud. She had never seen him showing weakness


    like this.


    On the other hand, the children were staring at Conrad vomiting into the bin. Despite them feeling


    disgusted by the vomit, they were very concerned about Conrad. So, they pleaded with their mother to


    stay and help him.


    Unable to refuse nor bring herself to leave Conrad behind like this, Fia finally gave in. She ced the


    twins in the bedroom where they could not smell the vomit before opening the door to the balcony and


    every window in the apartment to clear the air. Then, she brought the trashcan full of vomit to the


    washroom to flush its contents away.


    When she returned to the living room, Fia saw Conrad was sitting on the sofa breathlessly. He looked


    so pale and tired, almost like he was about to faint.


    “Conrad Maxwell!” Fia stepped forward and patted his face. “Wake up!”


    Doing his best to focus his eyes on her, Conrad said weakly, “Ms. Sia… I… I know you.”


    “How much drug did you use?”


    He gave a weak, faint smile and said, “I had injected twice the dose earlier. I didn’t think the effects


    would be this severe.”


    “Do you have a death wish?!” Fia grabbed and pulled him into the washroom. “Put a finger into your


    mouth and vomit everything out, now!”


    (( ))


    Conrad shook his head weakly and said, “They’re not pills.”


    Fia wanted to p herself so bad after hearing that. How could she forget that he took the drug through


    injections?!


    It was then that she felt his body getting cold; so, she dragged him back onto the sofa and went to his


    bedroom to get him a nket. She roughly tossed it on him, of course.


    Adrian and Irene walked out of the room worriedly.


    “Mommy, how’s Uncle Maxwell?” Irene asked anxiously.


    “He doesn’t look too good.” Adrian voiced out his observation.


    “Hush!” Fia dialed Sally’s phone number and asked, “Doctor Sally, he had injected twice the dose he’s


    supposed to take. What should we do now? He’s now experiencing a severe side effect and has


    thrown up. He’s feeling weak while his body temperature is gradually decreasing.”


    Sally was so shocked that she jumped out of her chair. “I’ve explicitly told him to not overdose! Why


    doesn’t he listen?!”


    “Get your


    brother here at once!” Fia felt anxious and frustrated. She realized that she could not just leave Conrad


    be. After all, this man was her children’s biological father.


    Yet, she could not afford to get involved too much. So, the only person left that could help Conrad was


    Peter Hall.
