Stop It She’s Remarrying by Stellar Strands Chapter 211
“I’m paying you a visit, and this is a little something from me.”
When Fia saw her, her eyes became sharp. “How dare you come here!”
“Fia, I’m worried about you. After Conrad fainted last night, I thought you ran out to call for Mrs. Taylor. I didn’t dare leave Conrad alone. If I had known that you would fall from the stairs, I would have had you keep an eye on Conrad and I would have gotten Mrs. Taylor instead.
“At the end of the day, you’re the one that’s being so childish. Why are you hiding your pregnancy from all of us? So many people are worried about you as you haven’t gotten pregnant for three years. This is at good thing. Why didn’t you tell us?”
Fia could feel herself getting a headache and her eyes almost popped out from staring at her.
“You manipulative woman!”
“What are you doing?!” Esme acted out like she was shocked. “I didn’t yell at you. I was simply stating facts.”
“The way you’re saying it is making others suspect me and the baby!”
“I’m not.” Esme glanced at Conrad. When she saw him simply sitting there in silence, she got even more worried.
“You’re getting so emotional. Could it be because you have some mental problems?”
“You whore!” Fia cursed out loudly as the veins on her forehead almost popped. She was going to get off her bed and pounce at Esme.
“Conrad!” Esme cried out in fear. “Fia wants to hit me. What did I do wrong?”
Conrad immediately stopped Fia and pressed her down in bed so that
she couldn’t move.
“Listen to the doctor. For our baby.”
Fia stared at Conrad as she heaved. She could feel her chest about to
explode from all the anger.
“Do you know how many dirty things she did behind your back?! You’re still helping her?!”
“I’m not helping her. I’m just worried about you and our baby,” Conrad said. He noticed that she was losing control of her emotions, so he turned around and stared at Esme who was pretending to be
innocent. “Leave, now!”
“Why? I… I’m just here visiting Fia. Aunt Echo and Grandmother have both passed away. I’m worried.”
“I don’t need you to worry about me. If it wasn’t because I was lucky yesterday, I would have died along with my baby because of you!” Fia screamed out uncontrollably.
“Don’t be ridiculous, Fia! You fell down yourself! I didn’t even touch you!” Esme cried out as if she had been wrongly accused.
Conrad could feel his eardrums almost bursting from the screaming. He could feel Fia’s breathing becoming more and more rapid. He quickly stood up and dragged Esme away, then threw her out of the
ward.
“Conrad…”
Esme cried as she sat on the ground.
Conran then said in a stern voice as a violent aura surrounded him.
Did you actually listen to a word I said? The only reason that the police didn’t continue investigating you pushing Fia down the stairs is because of me! I’m treating this as a final favor to you! And yet, you come over to provoke Fia again!”
“I didn’t push her. I didn’t!” Esme’s tears rolled as she bellowed. “You can’t simply think that I admit to it because I didn’t refute you during the candlelight dinner! I was touched that you’re standing on my side! I wasn’t acknowledging it! How could I…”
“Enough! We’ll pretend that this never happened. You should feel lucky that Fia and the baby are alright. Otherwise, the investigation would not have stopped there!”
Back in the ward, Fia was listening to their conversation.
She wasn’t touched at all, though. Instead, she felt that Conrad was still siding with Esme. He chose to be blind because she and her child didn’t suffer any major injuries.
Esme sat on the ground, dumbfounded. The anger and coldness in Conrad’s eyes pierced through her heart.
The young man that used to only think about her… How did he become like this?
Conrad closed the door to the ward and quickly walked over to the bed. He held Fia carefully in his arms and gently said, “Don’t get angry, Fia. I got rid of her.”
