Fine, so be it! Conrad decided to give in because Silas was genuinely concerned about his well-being.
During this checkup, Silas had contacted the hospital to bring over a medical team in secret. When the hospital director brought his crew over, they had to wear long coats, sunglasses and face masks, fearing that people would recognize them.
Seeing these people that Silas brought over, Conrad smirked and said sarcastically, “Why the secrecy? It’s just a checkup. A bunch of paranoid psychos!”
Silas and the hospital director were used to being chastised by him by now. However, this time, Sally was forced to come over because the original assigned doctor was on medical leave. And Sally was not going to tolerate Conrad’s childishly bad temper at all.
“Mr. Maxwell, you’re merely getting a medical checkup. And yet, you asked us to dress like this. Just who the heck is the paranoid psycho?” Sally glared at Conrad coldly before opening her med kit.
The director stepped forward and whispered to her, “You’re a doctor. You should be more patient with a patient who has amnesia.”
“Heh! Amnesia, right!” Sally was so pissed and saddened when she was reminded of this.
She took out a needle and mixed in a drug that could amplify a human brain’s recovery. It was something that she had acquired from her brother.
“Here! Take my blood!”
Conrad rolled up his sleeve and extended his arm impatiently. Sally bent down and inserted the needle through his skin.
Two seconds later…
“Don’t you know how to draw blood?!”
Just what the heck this woman was doing?! She drew a little of his blood and then pushed it back into his vein!
“Oh, I’m sorry. I’m just too nervous. My bad.”
She pulled out the needle and pretended to press a cotton ball on the needle wound nervously.
“Don’t touch me!” Conrad shoved her away and pressed the cotton ball on the needle wound himself.
Silas and the director, on the other hand, just stood there and watched anxiously.
The director threw Sally a glare and said, “Doctor Sally, just what were you doing? How could you make such a simple mistake!”
“Doctor Sally, Mr. Maxwell really doesn’t remember anything at all. Could you please treat him just like any one of your patients?”
Ignoring them, Sally examined the needle. When she was sure that there was no blood on it—which indicated that the drug was now in his bloodstream—she let out a sigh of relief.
“Oh, you see?” Peter smiled. “I’ve been wondering why you kept coming here for chit chat. So, you’re trying to probe me about my drugs so you could steal them?!”
“If there’s a drug that could restore his memory, why didn’t you give it to me earlier?” Sally did not think she had done anything wrong. “I’ve asked you so many times. Yet, you told me you could not do anything about it!”
“That drug has severe side effects! It’s not just a drug to restore memories. It’s a drug one used to interrogate a person! Who’d take responsibility if anything happens to that normal, healthy person you’d administered that dose to?!” Peter barked at her furiously.
“Hahaha!” Sally burst into laughter, “Normal? Healthy? Is Conrad Maxwell normal? Are you normal? Both of you had caused so much pain to Fia! How could you two live on free of a guilty conscience when she died such a painful, sorrowful death?!”
“…”
Peter furrowed his brows hearing that. His sister was right and he had no good comeback to retort.
Sally smirked as she stepped forward and poked on his chest.
“You should thank God that He made us siblings so I can’t find it in me to hurt you.”
“Sally, it’s not what you think. Fia is…”
Peter shut his mouth at the last second. He had wanted to blurt out the truth that Fia was still alive. However, he did not dare to. To be frank, there was no need to tell her that too.

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....
