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 ambulance 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’t come with a taxi.”
Conrad frowned and did not say a word. Then, he stood up, intending to go out and have a 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 he lay 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 ambulance.

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....
