Stop It, She’s Remarrying (Fia and Conrad) novel Chapter 1171

Fia let her lay on her lap and said, “Then don’t speak and lie down, okay? I’m worried for you.”

Nodding her head, Irene laid down on her belly and pressed her face on her mother’s belly. “Mommy… you smell so nice.”

Fia looked at the driver while petting Irene’s head and said to her, “Irene, close your eyes and have a nap. I will let you know when we’ve arrived.”

“Okay.” Irene thus closed her eyes and fell asleep, soothed by her mother’s scent.

Meanwhile, Conrad had just arrived at the hospital with Adrian. Adrian checked his watch and lamented, “Oh no! Mommy and Irene had left! We’ve missed them!”

Conrad took a look at the boy and said, “They’ve just left. We can still catch up to them.”

Adrian sighed. “If I knew this earlier, I could have just called Mommy.”

Then, he looked at Conrad dejectedly. “This is all on you, you know? If you didn’t stop me from calling her, just because you didn’t want her to chase you away, we could have caught up to them.”

“Yes, yes. It’s all my fault.” Conrad took the boy’s hand and said, “Come on, let’s go. We need to catch up to your mother.”

Adrian pulled his hand out of Conrad’s grip and grabbed the latter’s hand instead. “No, Uncle. I should be the one to lead you. You have a bad leg after all.”

“…”

For the first time since they’d met, Conrad felt conscious of his leg. He did not think he looked so pitiful that even a boy would want to take care of him. If he could heal his leg completely, he could carry the boy on his back! Indeed, he wanted to carry him with his arms, proving that he was strong enough to protect him!

The car kept on moving on the road. Still fast asleep on Fia’s lap, Irene did not realize that the car had steered away from the Aurora Residences. Fia pretended to nap, letting the driver continue driving.

Then, they arrived at a secluded street in Lumenpolis. The driver got down from the car and fled sneakily.

Opening her eyes, Fia let out a deep sigh. “What a bother.”
