Chapter 299
Fia shrank back into the bad. She wasn’t used to how he was taking care of her.
A few seconds later, Conrad whispered, “Do you need to change your pad?”
“What?!” Fia was shocked.
“Sally told me to help you change your pad once every two hours,” Conrad said, embarrassed. He had never helped a girl change that.
But she was his wife and she had suffered so much. He was willing to take good care of her.
“No!” Fia could feel her heartbeat becoming erratic as she pulled her blanket close. She wished she could cover her head under the blanket.
“Fia, we’re husband and wife. It’s normal to do something like this. You don’t have to feel embarrassed.”
“Who’s getting embarrassed?! I just think that you’re too noisy and you’re disturbing my rest.”
“You want to sleep directly after lunch?”
“Is it wrong that I want to sleep?!”
Fia raised her voice and Conrad quickly stepped back.
“My bad. I shouldn’t have said anything like that. Rest well. I won’t say anything anymore.”
Fia could still smell food. It was something that Mrs. Taylor prepared for Conrad.
“Eat your lunch. It smells when you leave it on the bedside table.”
“…” Conrad looked at her, speechless, but didn’t dare to object. He grabbed the picnic bag and went out
of the ward.
He was worried that she would get angry again if he ate in her room and made it smell.
When Fia heard him leave, she took a deep breath and sighed. She felt that the weight on her chest had
somewhat lifted.
But when she remembered Mrs. Taylor’s advice, she could feel herself getting a bit hotter.
If Conrad really did give up on Esme, would that mean her chance was right in front of her.
She had had too many dreams since she carried him in her heart.
She wished that she could become his one true love, that they could have a love that lasted for eternity.
She slowly fell asleep with a smile as she dreamed of it.
Conrad waited outside the ward for about an hour before he carefully opened the door and entered the
ward.
When he saw that Fia had already fallen asleep on the bed, he wondered if he should change her pad for her. Sally had told him that she must change it, or she could get infections from it.
He carefully approached her like a thief, crouched down, and then removed her blanket and looked.
“I’m so sorry…” She suddenly sobbed.
Conrad quickly straightened up and looked at her, and he could see her frown even in her sleep. She looked like she was in a lot of pain.
He wanted to ask her if she was feeling uncomfortable, but she sobbed again. “I’m sorry, my baby… I’m so sorry… Don’t cry…”
Conrad froze as pain flashed through his eyes, and he tightened his fists.
Fia was dreaming.
In that dream of hers, she was surrounded by fog. She didn’t know where to go, and she was scared.
She heard a baby’s cry, and it was becoming louder and louder.
“Ah!”
Fia instantly cried in her dreams as she suddenly crouched down from her pain.
She turned around and looked toward where the crying was coming from, and saw a plump baby crawling toward her on the ground.
The baby crawled toward her as it cried.
The baby’s eyes, as black as grapes, began to become tearful. The tears flowed, and they slowly became scarlet. Very quickly, the baby’s face was covered in tears of blood.
“I’m sorry… I’m so sorry… I couldn’t protect you…. I’m so sorry…”
Fia was stuck in a nightmare as her tears rolled like an unending stream.
“Fia?” Conrad could feel the pain in his heart as he wiped the tears off her face again and again. The tears.
continued to flow.
“Fia, you’re just dreaming. None of it is real.”
“Ah… What should I do, my baby…? How can I get you back?” Fia’s body began to tremble as she couldn’t escape from the nightmare of her own making.
