Stop It, She’s Remarrying (Fia and Conrad) novel Chapter 5

Jason held Fia’s shoulders firmly and said, “You know that treatment for this kind of disease will cost a lot of money. Even then, the treatment might not work at all.” 

Fia’s tears blurred her vision as they flowed. She could not even keep herself still.

“She’s everything to me. She didn’t give me up when I was little. I won’t give up on her now.”

“Alright.”

Jason walked toward his office door and gave the Hospital Director a call.

When Fia heard him telling the director about her mother’s situation and even requesting a discussion with the Oncology Department about this, she felt so grateful.

After he was done with the call, she sobbed gratefully. “Thank you. Thank you!”

Jason looked at the beautiful woman in front of him whose eyes were red from all the crying.

He felt stuffy in his chest and slowed down as he spoke. “You need to put down 45,000 dollars as a deposit. The follow-up treatment will also cost a hefty sum. I suggest that…”

“I’ll go and prepare the money right now.”

Fia left the office and immediately gave Conrad a call despite her disappointment toward him.

She had married Conrad before she even finished university and the Maxwell family refused to let her work. That was why she had no job and no salary.

While there was a lot of expensive jewelry and clothing at home, those were given to her by Conrad. Technically, she didn’t own them.

Aside from Conrad, she didn’t know who else she could go to for help.

When she heard Conrad’s voice coming from the other end, she quickly asked, “Can you lend me 45,000 dollars?”

There was a momentary pause. “What happened?”

Conrad almost couldn’t react to her request. It was the first time she had asked him for money during their three-year marriage.

Fia sniffed and sobbed. “My mom’s been admitted to the hospital. Please lend me 45,000 dollars for the treatment. Please, lend me some money… I’ll pay you back when I start working.”

“Which hospital are you at right now? I’ll head over soon.”

Conrad hung up the call and gave Esme a look.

“Let’s go to my place, Conrad.”

He gave the white house behind her a look. “You can go. Something came up.”

“You’re going to see Fia?”

“Something happened to her mother.”

“My aunt’s been sickly all this while. She probably did this intentionally so that you’ll leave me alone.” Esme gave him a sad face. “I just came home. Can’t you accompany me for just a little more today?”

“Esme,” Conrad said as his eyes turned slightly colder.

Esme pursed her lips and said with a smile, “Fine. Give me a call after you’re done. What happened between Fia and you was a mistake. It’s time to give each other freedom.”

“I know!”

Conrad felt somewhat agitated and quickly left after he got into his car.

Fia heard familiar footsteps and she quickly turned around to see Conrad walking into the ward.

“How’s your mom?”

“She…” Fia couldn’t help but begin to cry again as she held the reports in her hands.

Conrad took the reports and gave them a read.

“What did the doctor say?” He asked with a deep frown.

Fia shook her head. She didn’t want to say anything, worried that her mom would hear it when she woke up.

Conrad understood what she meant and quickly said, “Give me the medical card. I’ll pay first.”

“Thank you. I’ll pay you back.”

Conrad paused. He could feel that ever since he asked for the divorce, she had begun to distance herself from him.

After paying the deposit, Conrad then walked over to look for the doctor in charge. Jason then explained to him in detail about Echo’s cancer.

Jason suddenly asked, “Who are you to her?”
