Stop It, She’s Remarrying (Fia and Conrad) novel Chapter 937

“…” Conrad glared at Fia speechlessly.

“Look, you can’t stay here. Can’t you see we’re about to have some girl talk?” Fia softened her tone and pleaded gently to him. She knew he would not be able to resist her plea.

“Fine. Call me if you need anything.” Conrad immediately obliged and walked out the door.

Sitting up on her bed, Fia chatted with Barbara for a while before looking at the girl in black.

“So, Madam Barbara, she’s your friend, right?”

“Yes, a really good friend. In fact, she’s like a sister to me,” Barbara replied, with a hidden meaning behind her words.

“Sister?” Fia smiled. “Sally said you and Britney are really close. Would Britney be angry if you suddenly have a new sister?”

Barbara’s smile almost cracked when she heard this.

Looking at her, Fia said calmly, “Or have you lost interest in Britney?”

“Mrs. Maxwell, please don’t stir up conflict between the sisters. Every family has its own problems, you know.”

Suddenly, the girl in black opened her mouth and interrupted them. Fia turned and took a good look at her. Although Barbara was already in her thirties, she was still very hot-headed and stubborn, as if she never learned how to get along with others throughout her career. Thus, it was not easy for Barbara to befriend anyone.

Yet now, she had a new friend—a rather young one, in fact. This looked really suspicious in Fia’s eyes.

“What happened to your voice?” Fia asked.

The girl lowered her head and covered her face with her cap and mask.

“I had an accident. My vocal cords were ruined because of that.”

“Is it treatable?”

“I haven’t a clue.”

Remaining silent for a few seconds, Fia asked cautiously, “It’s not just the vocal cords, am I right? Is your face injured too?”

A cold glint flickered in the girl’s eyes underneath her cap as she clenched her fists in silence.

Sensing that she had probably triggered the girl’s trauma, Fia hurriedly comforted her. “Doctor Sally is a good doctor. You could seek help from her.”

“I did.” The girl said, “But she doesn’t seem all that willing to help.”

Fia looked at Barbara and asked, “Have you talked to Sally about this?”

Barbara smiled bitterly. “She was the one who asked Sally.”
