Chapter 875
“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 uncomfortable 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, he lazed on the chair next to Conrad’s, pulling a long face. He asked Conrad with a stern, serious glance, “So what happened?”
“Something happened last 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 become 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 relayed 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.
Nonetheless, 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 become 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 become overly wary of people around her, thinking that everyone wants to harm her. If things get dire, she might even resort to committing suicide or murder.”
After giving Conrad a lengthy, somber explanation, 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 are comfortable 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 villa 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 not comfortable 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 blankly at the space in front of her. He approached her and asked cautiously, “What’s wrong?”
“Oh, nothing.” Fia regained her clarity 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 to come along so she would have some company.

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....
