Chapter 1237
Even after pressing the doorbell several times, no one came to the door.
Adrian and Irene went from being giddily excited to disappointed.
“Adrian, why isn’t Uncle Maxwell opening the door?”
“Perhaps he’s not at home?” Adrian raised his head and looked at Fia. “Mommy, why are you staring at the door?”
Taking a deep breath, Fia said, “Perhaps he’s not at home. Let’s go home.”
Adrian asked, “But Mommy, you’re here because you have something to talk to Uncle Maxwell, right?”
“No, it’s nothing really.” Fia did not want to get involved anymore.
Conrad was a grown adult. If he had noticed something was off from the injection, he would have given Silas a call.
“Mommy, let’s press the doorbell one last time!” Irene looked at Fia insistently.
Fia sighed and gave in. “Alright. Just one last time.”
Meanwhile, in Conrad’s kitchen.
Conrad was laying on the floor helplessly. He had wanted to find something to eat in the kitchen but his body suddenly turned numb, which made him fall to the floor.
Struggling to sit up straight on the floor, Conrad snickered at himself. “Heh…I’m so useless…”
Then, he heard the doorbell. He tried to stand up but he could not.
Feeling frustrated, Conrad hammered on his legs with his fist. “Conrad, you’re such a failure!”
“Uncle Maxwell! Are you home?” Irene sounded so disappointed.
“Uncle Maxwell! Uncle!” Adrian knocked on the door as hard as he could.
“1”
Conrad’s eyes lit up as he heard their voices. He reached a corner and helped himself up against the wall. His injured leg was still not moving a muscle.
“He’s not at home.” Fia looked at the door while still thinking about that loud thud.
She knew he was at home.
However, it felt wrong coming over right away. It would look like she was concerned about him.
If he thought that she was concerned about him, how would she face him in the future?
“Adrian, Irene, let’s head home first. We’ll find Uncle Maxwell next time.” Fia purposely raised her voice as she talked to her children.
Conrad took his phone and pressed on the security app. It was an app that would link him to the security camera and speaker at the door. When he saw that she was leaving, he anxiously turned on his mic to call out to her, “Ms. Sia, I’m home!”
Fia squinted and did not want to respond to him.
“Mommy! Uncle Maxwell is at home!” Irene was overjoyed to hear his voice.
Adrian, however, noticed something was off. He asked curiously, “But why aren’t you opening the door, Uncle Maxwell?”
Staring at his phone, Conrad felt a pang of hurt in his heart when he saw Fia’s cold and unwilling face.
“I… I lost my strength and fell to the floor in the kitchen.” Conrad suppressed his heartache and answered the boy.
“Mommy, help him!” Adrian and Irene anxiously looked to their great mommy for help.
Biting her lips, Fia asked, “What’s the password of your home?”
“1126.”
Fia was surprised to hear this. “Why this combination?”
“Is there any problem with it?” Conrad could see a slight change in Fia’s facial expression when she heard that number.

The readers' comments on the novel: Stop It, She’s Remarrying (Fia and Conrad)
I had known that the ending would be like this , I would never had read this book. It didn’t have a right ending at all. Made no sense. Don’t waste your time....
Evil should never win and Lucifer has harmed far to many....
This should not end this way. Fia, rather than following Lucifer’s evil path should reflect and realize that she has always loved Conrad and he has always loved her. Their problems were due to the interference of others, Beryl, Esme etc . Since she is the only one that can approach Lucifer, she and Peter should cooperate with each other, kill Lucifer and evil Beryl, Peter can remove the toxins/ poison from everyone and each will be able to live normal lives without interfering with others relationship's. The children deserve their real father who will love them dearly and provide and protect them with the life they deserve. Gia has been a fool since the beginning and has believed everyone but her beloved husband. Please end this on a good note, that is why we all read these stories, everyone loves a happy ending....
