“Jase, what was that all about? She’s someone else’s wife and she doesn’t love you!” Kent patted Jason’s shoulder.“I’m fine.” Jason moved his hand away and opened his apartment door. He glanced at the opposite apartment and went in.Kent looked at Fia’s apartment and sighed. “What the hell is with this relationship?”Fia remembered how Conrad carried Esme and left. She was feeling ill and wanted to throw up.She drank three glasses of water, wanting to suppress that feeling, but her stomach felt bloated instead.She then sat on the sofa and switched on the television. She took out her phone and gave Conrad’s number a call.“Hello?”He didn’t sound very gentle at all.Fia copied how Esme would talk to him and said, “Conrad, my stomach doesn’t feel well and I want to throw up. Can you come back and accompany me?”“Tell your Doctor Evans to accompany you!”With that, he hung up.Fia could feel her entire body shaking as she felt chills in her bones.She could hear the thumpin
Once Fia’s condition had stabilized, Sally looked at the three men in the ward and said, “All of you, leave. Let Ms. Lawson rest.”“What happened to her?” Conrad asked.Sally snarled, showing how much disdain she had for him.“I did a test on Ms. Lawson earlier and already told you that she has mild depression. I don’t know what she went through for her to emotionally crash today.“What happened to her was not only because of her depression but because she wanted to fight off the pain inside of her… Even if that meant biting off her own tongue. Her condition is very bad. Give it enough time and she’ll emotionally collapse!”The more Sally explained, the more stirred up she became. She stared at Conrad, “Did you provoke her, Mr. Maxwell?”“We’re doing… quite well lately,” Conrad said.Jason gave him an angry glare. “Quite well? By leaving her alone while you left with your lover?”“You hurt Esme. I was simply sending her to the hospital!”And then, he remembered the call. At
“Sure.”“Let's go together right now, alright?”Esme was thinking that by doing the dinner tonight, she would be able to worsen the friction between him and Fia!However, she didn’t expect Conrad to refuse. “Not today.”“Why not today, Conrad? You don’t want to be cut off from me, do you? Is it because Fia forces you?”“She’s not like that. Fia’s been admitted and I need to take care of her.”Esme was stunned. When she saw that he was going to leave, she yelled, “Who’s going to take care of me?!”“She’s my wife. I have the duty to take care of her. As for you, I’ll call someone from your household to have them take care of you.” With that Conrad left without any hesitation.Cough!Fia opened her eyes and choked on her own blood.“Here, spit it here.”Conrad helped her up with one hand while holding the bin with the other.Fia looked at him with calm eyes and spat into the bin.“Thank you.”Her education made her instinctively thank him.“I’m your husband. I’m simply doin
Jason didn’t hide it from Fia and he explained everything to her.Fia took a gulp of water and put down the glass. There was fear in her eyes.“What will happen if this… If this continues?”“No matter what happens, don’t be too sad for anyone or anything. You need to accept it and let it go in time. Don’t keep on dwelling on it. Most importantly, you have to take initiative and work with your doctor on your treatment.”“I understand. Can you book me in with a doctor?”“Doctor Hall will do. She’s a good doctor.”“Isn’t she a doctor from the gynecology department?”“She’s also the director of our hospital’s psychology department. She knows her stuff when it comes to psychology.”“Sure. Doctor Hall it is then.”Jason then said, “Come here once a week. You must come every week.”Fia bit her lips and said, “Is there anything else that I need to pay attention to?”“Tell Doctor Hall what you can’t tell anyone else. She’ll help you. I’ll share with you her private number and Faceboo
“My sickness can’t be cured by staying in the hospital!”Conrad choked. “I won’t make you angry again.”Fia scoffed. “I won’t put my hopes on you, Mr. Maxwell!”There were plenty of people waiting by the window to process the hospital’s discharge procedure. Conrad noticed that the people in front of and behind her were men. They even started flirting with her.He couldn’t stand there any longer and walked over, taking her bill and ID.“Wait for me over there, honey.”Fia glared at him coldly and left the crowd.It was not because she wanted to give him a chance to show off, but she simply didn’t want to waste her time with the two men.It was already quite annoying waiting in line. And the two men kept on chatting with her. She didn’t say anything and they also didn’t stop chatting.Conrad stood where she did just now. The men looked at him and they were shaken. No wonder that beauty didn’t want to pay them any attention… She had found herself a pretty face!The man in front
“Someone’s jumping off the building!”“Seriously?”“What do you mean by that? She’s already sitting by the window. She’s definitely trying to jump!”Conrad stopped and turned to look at the hospital’s inpatient department.Esme was sitting by the window in her dress and her long hair. She was very eye-catching.Fia saw it too and simply smiled coldly on his shoulders.“Put me down.”Conrad put her down, took out his phone, and made a call.Esme had put her phone by the window. When it rang, a smile appeared on her face.“Hello? Conrad?”“What are you doing? Get down from the window!” Conrad looked at her fiercely.Everyone realized what was happening and gathered under the hospital.“You don’t want me anymore, Conrad. What’s the point of me living?”“Didn’t you say that we’ll separate in peace? What’s wrong with you right now?!”“Conrad… I’m a patient. I was almost raped, and the doctor said that I’m emotionally unstable. Have you forgotten? You can’t trust someone that’s
“Lola. After you got my husband drunk, she looked for you and got you into trouble, didn’t she?”At this moment, Fia’s mind had reached a moment of clarity. She was very sure that Esme didn’t lie about that time.Conrad’s status had made him attract too many women in the past three years. Even girls like Lola couldn’t resist him.She simply didn’t expect a girl like Lola to do the same thing.“Don’t misunderstand me, Fia. I didn’t do anything that night. Your husband was drunk, so I simply moved him to my room to get some rest. That woman found me and even slapped me.”Lola lowered her head and made herself look pitiful.Fia nodded and said, “That woman is the one that’s going to jump.”“Huh? Her? I wasn’t paying attention.” Lola gave Esme a look. “She does look like her.”“Do you want to guess what her relationship with my husband is?”“I can’t.”“How can you not, Lola? You’re so smart. The day I helped Doctor Evans tie his necktie, you’re the one who told my husband, weren’
When they reached the seafood restaurant that Lola’s parents owned, Lola wanted to treat her and she didn’t say no.The two of them quietly plotted against each other, and Lola couldn’t wait to talk about the most important part.“Fia, since you couldn’t deal with Ms. Manning, have you ever thought of asking someone to deal with her?”“Who? That woman is my cousin. I have very few relatives in the first place. Who could I ask?”“Fia, when I was in university, my roommate’s boyfriend was stolen, so she spent money getting her best friend to destroy her boyfriend’s relationship with the person he cheated on her with.”Fia sipped some fruit juice and said, “I’ll be straight with you. I won’t ask Eileen to help with this.”“I know that you have a strong bond with Eileen and won’t hurt her, but are you really alright with another woman stealing your husband?”Lola’s face was already red after two glasses of wine. She was on the verge of revealing it all.Fia refused to take the bait
