Stop It, She’s Remarrying (Fia and Conrad) novel Chapter 7

“What was that supposed to mean? Are you trying to argue with me too?!” Beryl got up from her seat and stared at Mrs. Taylor. 

Fia quickly stood up as well and said, “Don’t get mad. I’ll discuss this with Conrad and go get it done.”

With that, she turned around and took the bowl of medicine in Mrs. Taylor’s hand and drank it all in one go.

When Beryl saw that she was being obedient, she calmed down a bit.

“Don’t just drink medicine alone. If your body isn’t strong enough, you won’t be able to even protect your baby! I’ve also arranged for acupuncture. I’ll send the address over to you. Have Mrs. Taylor accompany you for the session.”

“Alright.” Fia acknowledged her words and didn’t dare talk back to her.

After Beryl left, Mrs. Taylor unwrapped a piece of candy and gave it to Fia.

“Madam, you should really tell Mr. Conrad about your situation.”

“She’s only doing this for our own good. She doesn’t have any bad intentions… She only wants us to have a baby soon.”

Mrs. Taylor frowned and then asked, “Then, the session in the afternoon?”

“Let’s go. If we don’t, she’s going to get cranky again. It’s not good for her to be so irate all the time.”

At a private clinic, Fia was in so much pain that she couldn’t help but tremble when the silver needle was poked into her flesh.

The doctor adjusted how deep the silver needle’s penetration was. He had seen plenty of women like her.

He then said in a cool tone, “Be patient. A lot of women went through the same thing. Everything will be fine once you have a child and your body is healed.”

“Okay,” Fia said as she gritted her teeth and sweat rolled down her forehead.

She was still trying to convince herself that she wasn’t doing this for the Maxwells, but for herself. She had to cure herself of infertility anyway.

Once she divorced Conrad, she would marry someone else. Eventually, she wanted to have a child too.

Mrs. Taylor looked on from beside her and helped wipe her sweat off with concern.

“If you don’t think about it, it won’t hurt so much. Think about what you want to eat tonight, madam. I’ll make them for you.”

Fia tried to find some fun in the pain and said, “I want braised pork loin and fried chicken in sweet & sour sauce.”

“Sure, I’ll make them all for you.”

Fia could feel her tears coming out. It was so, so painful.

She heard that the artificial insemination process was going to hurt even more with larger needles.

But she was not afraid. If Conrad was willing to have a child with her, she was willing to face any pain.

She smiled bitterly. But there were no more “ifs”. He was going to leave her eventually.

After the session was done, Mrs. Taylor helped Fia out of the clinic while Fia had one hand over her belly.

“Let me call Mr. Maxwell to come to pick you up.”

“No need. He’s busy, so it’s best not to disturb him.”

“Are you still going to the hospital to accompany your mother then, madam?”

Fia cheered herself on and said, “Of course. When I visited her this morning I did say to her that I’ll visit her again in the afternoon.”

“Then let me send you over.” Mrs. Taylor couldn’t say much about the situation as she was just an employee. She had only found out that Echo had cancer when she accompanied Fia to see her mother at the hospital earlier.

“No need. The hospital my mom’s at is just in front. It’ll take just a few minutes. You should go back first, Mrs. Taylor.”

Mrs. Taylor could see that Fia wanted to have some time alone. She didn’t force the matter and left.

When Fia reached Gryphonheart Hospital, she didn’t walk directly into the hospital building. Instead, she wandered into the hospital’s park and sat down in a corner.

Today was the third wedding anniversary between Conrad and her, but it seemed like he had forgotten.

Her expectations had been shredded into pieces.

“Fia!”

When Fia heard the voice coming from behind, she frowned. She didn’t want to see her. She didn’t want to speak with her.

“Why are you trying to run?!” Esme hurried after Fia and stopped her.

“Is it because you are too ashamed to see me? It’s good that you know what you did was wrong. Now, give Conrad back to me and I’ll be graceful enough to give you some extra money when he divorces you.”
