Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 153

When Sherry woke up from her sleep, she realized Stella was no longer on her bed. Feeling shocked, she sat up and looked for her around the ward, yet she did not find her. She hurriedly rushed out of the ward. As she was about to inquire about her whereabouts at the nurse office, she encountered Clarence who was walking towards her.

Although she wanted to chastise him, she could not care more about that and she asked anxiously, “Mr. Conrad, Stella’s gone!” Clarence stopped and his look turned gloomy. He turned around and asked a nurse, “Where’s the surveillance room?” The nurse quickly led them there, yet the camera only captured Stella walking out of the ward. She walked towards the emergency exit and was nowhere to be found.

Sherry frowned and she whispered, “Where else could she go like this? She can’t even walk properly…Could it be she’s fainted somewhere?” Nathan spoke, “Mr. Conrad, our men have been guarding the hospital entrance, and missus is not seen.”

What he meant was she must still be in the hospital. Clarence pursed his lips and took two steps backward, he turned around and left. Watching him left, Sherry was going to say something else, yet he was already nowhere to be found.

…

Clarence went to the rooftop and that weak figure appeared in his line of sight as expected. She was holding the balustrade and she was swaying on her feet in the wind as if she was going to fall down the next second. He approached her slowly. “What are you doing, Stella?”

Stella gazed out at the far end and she did not turn back. Her voice sounded soft due to the wind. “Why are you here again, Mr. Conrad?”

“I’m asking you.”

Stella seemed to let out a smile and she spoke softly, “What do you think I’m going to do? Jump from here because I’m too desperate? You’ve thought too much, if I’m that weak when facing challenge, I won’t be able to live until now.” She slightly lifted her head. “I only want to breathe some fresh air.”

“Don’t you know your health situation now?”

“I do. I’m just clinging to the last bit of my life.”

Clarence stood behind her. He took off his jacket and put it on her, rumbling, “Enough, Stella, get back.” Stella turned around and looked at him, there was slight contempt in her smile. “Your actions tonight are easy to let people misunderstand, don’t you think so? Mr. Conrad.”

Clarence still kept a straight face and he gazed at her with dark eyes. “Misunderstand of what?”

“That you like me.”

“I never denied that.”

Stella suddenly burst out laughing. Indeed, he had never denied it, yet his fondness towards her was not worth mentioning. Clarence said, “I’ve told you I can make you Mrs. Conrad.”

“What you provide me is just to let me return to that cage again. Clarence, you don’t really like me, you’re just used to having me settling everything for you at your side, you’ve gone used to me enduring your temper, you’ve gone used to…”

Clarence grabbed her wrist and interrupted her, “Stella, have you lost your conscience?”

“You’re wrong again, Mr. Conrad, I don’t have one.”
