Stop It, She’s Remarrying (Fia and Conrad) novel Chapter 2

She knew that there was no happy ending in her story. If she begged him, she would lose whatever was left of her pride.

At the hospital, Conrad still played his role as a good husband. He went over to the reception to register her and did all the necessary paperwork before taking her to the doctor’s consultation office.

“Doctor, my wife is having a stomachache. Can you please see if anything’s wrong?”

The doctor glanced at Conrad before saying, “Please wait outside.”

Before leaving, Conrad gave Fia a pat and said, “Don’t worry. I’ll just be outside.”

“Sure,” Fia said as she lowered her head and quickly wiped the tears that were starting to fall from her eyes as he turned around.

The doctor took out a stethoscope and said, “Lift up your shirt.”

Her belly was indeed getting a bit puffed. Since they were already paying for the service, she didn’t want to waste the opportunity, so she lifted her shirt for the doctor to examine her.

After a minute, the doctor also checked her pulse.

“I don’t hear anything, so you should be fine.”

“I see,” Fia answered disinterestedly. She was feeling sad as soon as she realized that after this, Conrad would no longer be accompanying her to the hospital when she felt sick in the future.

“When was your last menstruation?”

“What?” Fia asked as she snapped back to reality. Why was he asking about her period?

The doctor smiled and said, “Despite being in the gastroenterology department, I’m quite skilled in alternative medicine if I may say so myself.”

“Huh?”

“From the looks of it, you might be pregnant.”

Fia smiled bitterly. “That’s impossible. I’m infertile. Despite me taking medicine, there haven’t been any results.”

The doctor frowned and said, “Infertile? Is it because of your general physiology or the size of your womb? I should give it a closer examination.”

“Thank you, doctor. But there’s no need for that.”

“Looks like your husband loves you a lot. Don’t give up. If you have a child, it can improve your relationship and your in-laws won’t disrespect you as much.”

Fia shook her head. Only she knew the unpleasant situation she was in.

If he really loved her, would he ask for a divorce at all?

The doctor then asked, “Should I write a note for a follow-up examination…?”

“It’s okay, doctor. We’re getting a divorce.”

The doctor sighed. “Well, every family has their own trials to pass. It’s not that easy for two people to form a family together. If it isn’t necessary for a divorce, don’t. Our technology is getting very advanced. Even if medicine isn’t working, you can try artificial fertilization.”

When Fia heard the word “artificial fertilization”, she could no longer hold her tears back.

She had tried to persuade him in the past. But Conrad refused, saying that he didn’t like children.

As the memory of it flooded back to her, the fact that he had never wanted to live with her for the rest of her life dawned on her. Perhaps, he had been planning for the divorce a long time ago. He would never want a child with her if that was the case!

“What did the doctor say?” Conrad asked as he hastily approached her when he saw her leave the doctor’s office.

“It’s nothing. I’ll get better after some rest.”

Conrad pinched her cheek and said, “I told you not to eat so much ice cream. You’re the one in pain when you get sick.”

Fia tried her best to give him a smile, but she caught sight of an elegant figure standing not far away.

It was as if she was forced to take a cold shower. She then stared icily at him.

When he met her eyes, he explained, “Esme was nearby.”

“Long time no see, Fia.” Esme Manning walked over gracefully and stood by Conrad’s side.
