“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
She was now sure that the call that Lola made was to cancel the plan to kidnap her.She must have planned the kidnapping together with Esme! The only reason she betrayed Esme at the last minute wasn’t because of a sudden realization. It was because she realized that she was more foolish than Esme and easier to be used!She would not let the two vicious women off so easily!“Conrad… Please don’t say anything about cutting me off, alright? I won’t be able to stand it.”Esme got down from the window and grabbed Conrad tightly, not letting him go.Conrad suppressed the agitation in his heart and patted her back.“Don’t think too much and get some sleep.”Esme’s doctor also advised her saying, “That’s right, Ms. Manning. You’ve lost so much weight too. You have to eat and sleep well and maintain a positive outlook in life. Otherwise, you won’t be able to take it mentally.”“I understand, doctor,” Esme said as she let go of Conrad and held just his arm. She then spoke to him pitifull
“Why are you back here alone, madam? Where is Master Maxwell?”“You’re asking me?” Fia smiled as she held the door. “Who should I ask?”Mrs. Taylor was stunned. “You fought with him again?”“A very apt use of the word again,” Fia said with a sneer and immediately went into the living room and upstairs.Mrs. Taylor walked after her. “Will you not have dinner, madam?”“I’ve already eaten outside.”Mrs. Taylor sighed. She looked for a small hoe and went to clean up the yard. She couldn’t do anything for her employer about it. All she could do was complete her tasks.Several minutes later, Conrad came home in his car.Mrs. Taylors quickly greeted him and said, “Why didn’t you come back with the madam, Master Maxwell?”“She just came back?”“Yes. She was quite upset.”“Has she eaten?”“She said that she had already eaten outside.”Conrad’s expressions darkened. He suspected that Fia ate with Jason.“You’ve eaten outside as well?”Conrad didn’t reply to Mrs. Taylor and ran ups
“Then, are you?”Fia turned around and pushed his face away, looking at him with resentment.“Fia, you’re my wife. I won’t hurt you.”“Really? Even if you didn’t command it, as long as Esme planned it, it has everything to do with you!”Conrad noticed that something was wrong and asked, “What happened on your way back?”He held her hand to check if there were any wounds on her.“Where did you get hurt?”Fia hit his hand away and icily said, “Lola told me that Esme had hired someone to kidnap me. If Lola didn’t tell me in time, I don’t know what would have happened to me!”“Impossible!” Conrad immediately denied it in reflex. “She’s not that kind of person.”“Why is she not that kind of person?”“She would never badmouth you in front of me.”“That’s all? That’s why you think that she won’t hurt me?”“Fia, you’re not doing well lately and keep making things up, believing that everyone out there is trying to get you.”Fia’s heart became cold. This was her husband! He didn’t e
Fia slumped back on her chair as she sat in front of the dressing table. She cried out as all the suppressed disappointment and sorrow poured forth at the same time.She let out a wail before closing her mouth, trying to stop herself.Inside the bathroom, Conrad turned off the shower, trying to listen to what was happening outside.He could hear someone crying… Was it Fia? He thought that he had misheard it because he didn’t hear it anymore after a few seconds. Still, he quickly finished his shower.When the bathroom door opened, Fia straightened her back and cleaned her face one more time using a wet towel. Once she was sure that no signs of tears were left, she continued to work on the bottle in front of the dressing table.Conrad stood in front of the shower and stared at her for a few seconds before going to his study.When he came back, he put a big box on the dressing table.“For you.”Fia looked at him coldly and didn’t even acknowledge him.She didn’t want to think abo
