Suddenly, there was a string of footsteps approaching them.Lyn turned and was shocked to see what was happening.“Eileen, so many reporters are here. We can’t stay here any longer.”Eileen turned and looked, and one of the reporters snapped a picture of her teary face.She couldn’t care less as she tightened her fists.“I can’t leave at a time like this. I want to wait until Fia comes out.”“Eileen, the boss is still discussing you with the media. The reason they’re blocking you here is so they could question you.”Eileen shook her head and said coldly, “He already announced his marriage with Sapphire. What right do they have to question me?!”“But…”Lyn still wanted to warn her, but several microphones had already been extended toward them, and so she blocked them instinctively.“I’m sorry, but Eileen is busy right now and doesn’t have the time to answer any questions. Our boss and Ms. Starling’s wedding date has already been announced. If you have any questions, please go
Eileen didn’t know what to do. Fia’s mother had passed away and no one knew who her father was. Family? Which family? The Mannings?Suddenly, Lyn’s brain ticked and asked, “Does her husband count?”“Of course! Where is he right now? Tell him to come over and sign the form!”Lyn held Eileen’s shaking hand and whispered, “Eileen, give Fia’s husband a call.”Eileen’s eyes were so red as if they were bleeding with hate pulsing in them.“He’s not worthy!” But even then, she knew it was not the time to make any sort of complaints. And so, she gave Conrad a call.“Hello?”“Get to Gryphonheart Hospital right now! The hospital needs someone from her family to sign the paperwork!”“I’m already in the elevator. I’ll be there soon!” Conrad hung up the call. When the elevator door opened, he immediately ran out only to see a group of reporters waiting outside.“Silas, get rid of all of them!”“Of course!”When the reporters saw Conrad, all of them rushed over excitedly.Silas immediatel
Sally gulped and wanted to advise Jason to wait when footsteps could be heard.The nurse who went out just now had come back with hope on her face.“Doctor Hall, her family has signed the letter!”Sally let out a sigh of relief and prepared herself. “Everyone, support Doctor Evans!”“Is… Is she going to be alright?” Conrad stared at the door with his fists tightened.Eileen looked at him angrily, “You can leave now!”“…”Conrad frowned. He was not in the mood to fight her.“Go back to your engagement ceremony! Don’t stay here and disgust Fia!”Silas quietly walked over and said, “Ms. Reid, my boss promised to get engaged with Ms. Manning out of desperation.”“Liar!” Eileen glared at Conrad with angry eyes. “Ever since Esme came back, all you’ve wanted to do is divorce Fia! You only made her stay because of the baby! Now that she has been locked up, you can divorce her openly! Everyone out there wouldn’t say that you abandoned your original wife for a homewrecker! They would o
“Oh? Does this count as anger out of embarrassment?” Victor quickly moved away, and the sneer in his eyes became even more apparent.“You have a death wish!” Conrad became a raging beast and immediately attacked him.Victor didn’t have too many hobbies, but he liked to box and trained himself physically. The two of them started fighting right in the corridor.Eileen frowned but the interest in her eyes became brighter.“They have the same blood in their veins… They’re both garbage.”Lyn wanted to say something, but she didn’t dare to say anything. She was very regretful of losing all the documents.“Should we report our loss to the police?”“After Fia’s surgery,” Eileen said after she took a deep breath. She was very anxious and she couldn’t think straight.The most important thing was for Fia to get out of the surgery theater safely. Everything else could wait.All the two cared about was attacking each other. In the end, it was Silas who pushed them apart despite the risk. H
“Are you sick in the head?!” Eileen glared at him. How could he be so insolent?!“Everyone has to die eventually. There’s nothing to it.” Victor let out a smile.“You trash!” Conrad could feel the fire that had already extinguished in his heart begin to burn again when he heard what Victor said. “How dare you curse my wife?!”He shouted and rushed over toward him.Victor frowned when he saw how he rushed over. If he were to move away, he would ram into Eileen.Eileen had accumulated quite a number of sicknesses during the past few years of acting. She would feel pain in her bones if she were hit even a little with how frail she was.That was why he didn’t move away.Bang!The fist hit Victor in the face. Conrad held his collar and pressed him against the wall.“Why do you have to curse others to die?!”“Ha, did I say a name?” Victor laughed despite being hit.Eileen could only feel herself getting a headache when she saw how carefree he was.“Silas!”“Yes, Ms. Reid?” Silas
Sally could see the fear in his eyes and she said to him gently, “Rest for a while. I’ll speak with her family.”“Sure,” Jason said as he gritted his teeth. He hated Conrad even more than ever.The surgery theater’s door opened.“Doctor Hall!” Both Conrad and Eileen walked to her.Sally gave Conrad a glance and then focused her eyes on Eileen.“The patient has been saved, but she’ll need to stay in the ICU for the time being. Once her condition stabilizes, we can then move her to a normal ward.”Eileen was stunned and asked, “Then, the baby…”That was also what Conrad wanted to ask about.“I’m sorry.”Sally took in a deep breath and remembered the pressure Jason was under during the entire surgery.“Ms. Reid, since you came to the hospital, you know what was happening at the time.“With an accident like that, no pregnant woman would be able to protect the baby inside of her. Not to mention that Fia had had multiple signs of placental abruption before this. She was already qu
Conrad knew what Jason wanted to do. Normally, he would be more than happy to oblige.But there was nothing more important to him now than to visit Fia.“Which ward is Fia in?”Sally quickly told them and said to Eileen, “Go with him, Ms. Reid.”“Sure.” Eileen thankfully looked at Jason and Sally before chasing after Conrad to visit Fia. Outside the ICU ward, they could see Fia lying inside behind a heavy glass window pane, wearing an oxygen mask with tube after tube connected to her body.Eileen’s tears couldn’t stop as she placed both her hands on the window, as if she could touch her and console her.“Conrad Maxwell… That is how the person that you protected harmed her.”Conrad tightened his fists as his veins popped. She was still alright yesterday, but she was lying in the ICU ward today.“I didn’t protect Esme. I didn’t want Fia to go through all of this too. If I had known something like this would happen, I would have picked her up earlier.”“You think this is all a
He had seen plenty of schemes to be able to get this far.He didn’t believe that the truck had suddenly lost control and coincidentally crashed into Fia’s car.The old driver gulped as he looked at the baseball bat in Conrad’s hand.“I… I’m not lying. The truck really did lose control. I didn’t want this to happen either.”Silas was worried that his boss would lose control and kill him.He carefully advised him, saying, “Sir, the police are already investigating this. They’ll find out if he lied.”“Yes, the police will find out everything.”The old driver looked at Conrad tearfully, thinking that he would let him go just like that. However, Conrad’s emotions were going haywire to the point of madness.He dragged the driver off the bed and pulled him to the window. He then pushed him out of the window.He let the driver go and grabbed him by the ankle as the driver screamed, dangling out of the window upside down.“Sir!” Silas was shocked. They were in a lawful society!Eil
