Chapter 293
“Then rest well and don’t get too agitated. We can talk more later.”
He pulled the curtains, left the ward, and stayed guard outside.
Fia opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling numbly.
Conrad left without saying anything else. To her, it was proof that he didn’t know how to get it through his
wife.
Maybe, he didn’t even want to find an effort to get it through her.
The person that he was in love with had always been Esme Manning. And what did that make her?
She slowly drifted into sleep as her mind wandered.
“Why didn’t you tell me that Fia is already awake?” Eileen said with annoyance when she saw Conrad sitting on a bench in the corridor early in the morning when she returned.
She blinked, and blinked again. She was shocked.
“Why are you smoking in the hospital?!”
Conrad glared at her coldly and extinguished the cigarette that he smoked halfway by planting it on the back of his leather shoe. He then got up and threw it into the bin.
Eileen looked at him with disdain. “You Maxwells are all the same!”
Jason heard everything when he was walking over from not far away.
He was stunned and frowned a little.
When Conrad saw him, he smiled icily.
“Did you hear that, Doctor Evans? None of the Maxwells are good people.”
“I’m talking about you here. What does this have to do with Doctor Evans?” Eileen then remembered about Jason’s history that Fia had told her about and quickly said to Jason, “I’m not talking about you, Doctor Evans. Don’t think too much about it.”
“Sure.” Jason pointed at the ward Fia was in. “I’ll go in and take a look at Fia.”
“Can I come in?”
“We’re moving her to the VIP ward. You can accompany her later.”
“Sure! Thank you, Doctor Evans!”
When Jason entered the ward, Eileen glared at Conrad again.
“What is it?” Conrad looked at her unhappily.
Eileen suddenly cracked a faint smile. “Oh, Conrad. I think I need to remind you that Fia has lost her baby. There’s nothing chaining her down now. She can kick you out at any time!”
Conrad tightened his grip.
“I won’t divorce her!”
“We’ll see!” Eileen raised her chin slightly. As long as Fia wanted to leave, she would hire the best lawyer
she could!
Once Fia was transferred into the VIP ward, Jason brought the chicken soup he made from the office to the ward.
“Ms. Reid, please feed Fia.”
“Leave it to me!” Eileen happily took it and ignored Conrad who was standing next to them. She opened the cover and then fed Fia the chicken soup.
“Come on, Fia. This is something from Doctor Evans. Don’t disappoint him.”
“…” Fia frowned. It was not because of Conrad. She simply didn’t want to accept any of Jason’s help anymore.
Jason had already delivered her some chicken soup last night and she had already told him not to do anything like that anymore before he left.
She didn’t expect him to make some again in the morning.
“Open your mouth, Fia!” Eileen said urgently. “Look at your face. You need some chicken soup for nourishment.”
“Evans.” Fia opened her mouth. “You’re already very busy as a doctor. Don’t overwork yourself.”
“Have a drink. I already brought it over,” Jason said as he inserted his hands in his coat’s pockets. He wasn’t thinking of leaving.
Conrad glanced at him coldly. “Why aren’t you leaving? Aren’t you busy as a doctor?”
“I’m Fia’s attending doctor.”
“I need him here. Why do you care?” Fia argued coldly.
“Even a random nurse or doctor here can make me feel safe compared to you despite you being my husband.”
”
Conrad was stunned again.
“You don’t have to wait in the hospital for me to get a divorce. Once I’m discharged, I’ll sign the papers.”
“Fia, I don’t want a divorce…”
“Then what do you want? You want to commit polygamy? Even if you want to, I won’t allow you to disgust
me like that!”
With that, Fia grasped her chest. She was so angry that she could feel the pain throbbing in her chest.
“Don’t get angry.” Jason tried to comfort her.
Eileen looked at Conrad angrily, “You should leave now. The rest can wait until Fia’s out of the hospital!”
Conrad looked at them in frustration. “I don’t want to disgust you and never wanted to marry someone else. I only have one wife… you.”
