Stop It, She’s Remarrying (Fia and Conrad) novel Chapter 17

“What’s going on here?!” Conrad said, his eyebrows were locked together as he gave Jason an icy glare. “What are you doing here?” 

He saw it. If he had been a second too late, the doctor’s hand would have already touched Fia’s face.

“Mrs. Maxwell’s body…”

“She’s my wife and this has nothing to do with you!” Conrad said as he loosened the tie around his neck. He then glared at Fia, who was lying in bed.

“Don’t speak to the doctor like that. I fainted in the hospital lobby. Doctor Evans is the one that saved me.”

Fia’s explanation made Conrad even angrier for no reason.

“How strange! There are so many doctors and nurses in this hospital… But he’s the one that saved you?”

Fia couldn’t even mutter a word.

Jason let out a sneer and said, “If you, the husband, were at her side at the time, she wouldn’t need anyone else to save her!”

“You…!” Conrad tightened his fists.

Fia didn’t want him to focus his anger on Jason and quickly said, “Thanks for your help, doctor. I’ll treat you to a meal next time as thanks.”

Jason didn’t want to stay any longer. He was worried that he would teach the man a lesson. He looked at the watch on his wrist and said, “I have to go. I have a surgery to go to.”

Conrad stared at Jason’s departing figure before turning his attention to Fia.

“Conrad, I’m…”

“You did this intentionally, didn’t you?!” Conrad cut her off with a cold demeanor.

“What did I do?” The little bit of joy in Fia’s eyes disappeared.

“I’ve just had Esme admitted to the hospital! Next thing I know, the nurse from the nurse station called to tell me that you’ve been admitted too!”

The man’s words were like a mace mashing into her heart.

Fia struggled to get up as she leaned against the headboard and looked at him.

“You think I’m pretending to be sick? So that I can get you away from her?”

“Of course. Otherwise, there won’t be such a coincidence!” Conrad huffed and puffed. “Do you know that Esme tried to commit suicide by jumping off a building? This is all because you got your grandmother to force Esme into an unwanted marriage!”
