Stop It, She’s Remarrying (Fia and Conrad) novel Chapter 933

Taking a deep breath, Barbara said, “I mean, you know very well he never loved you. Yet, why do you insist on marrying him? Did you use some underhanded means to force him to marry you?”

“No… I didn’t…” Esme stuttered as she tried to explain.

Barbara continued scolding her sternly, “You shouldn’t have gotten near him! Although he seems like a nice guy, Peter survived and recovered from that incident that happened to the Halls. He’s more than he lets on! If forced to a corner, he would get mad and resort to extreme measures to get what he wants!”

Esme stared at Barbara speechlessly. Barbara loved her sister a great deal, did she not? Then why did she not seem bothered when she saw that she was almost choked to death? She even scolded her. Why?

“Sigh. Forget it. You’re blinded by love so you won’t listen anyway.” Barbara suppressed her anger and hatred for Peter and Esme, and said to the maid, “Send Britney to the hospital for a checkup.”

“Yes, Miss Barbara.” The maid obliged with the order.

Staring at the girl in black, Esme asked, “Barbara, who is this girl?”

“She’s a friend of mine. Misfortune befell her a while ago so I brought her along on my vacation to find a doctor to help her.”

“I see.”

The girl in black noticed that Esme was staring at her. So, she flicked her hair to the back and revealed her burned skin.

A hint of disgust flashed in Esme’s eyes when she saw it. She thought, ‘How could Barbara befriend someone this ugly? I thought she had good taste from her rich life experience! Why did she befriend this monster? Is she trying to be a saint or something?’

…

The next morning, Fia lied on the bed and stared at the ceiling after breakfast while Conrad resumed his work next to her.

A knock came. When the door opened, it was revealed to be Sally, who pushed a cart of tools into the private ward.

“Remain on the bed, Fia. I’m here to change your bandages.”

Fia stared at Sally as she lied on the bed. When their eyes met, Sally gave her a bitter smile and asked, “Why are you staring at me?”

“Are you alright?” Fia asked. She had trouble sleeping last night.

Opening up her bandages, Sally said to her while observing her wound, “Still doing fine.”

Letting out a sigh of relief, Fia lightly pulled on her clothes and whispered, “I’m sorry, Sally.”

Sally shook her head and replied, “Don’t say that.”

Conrad put his document aside and took a good look at them.
