Chapter 137 His Guilt
Conrad wiped the tears that slowly fell down his cheeks as he watched Lillee cry silently to herself while laying in a fetal position.
He does not have the courage to go inside to console her, so he could only watch her from outside. He knew it was all his fault. If hadn't been so cold-hearted to her, maybe none of this would have happened. If he had simply consoled her and not forced her to go out against her will, none of it would have happened.
The vibration of his phone jolts him awake from his thoughts; he quickly picks up his phone upon seeing that it was from his assistant.
"Hello." Conrad's voice came out calmly.
"CEO, we have found out the identity of the mysterious share buyer." Conrad's female assistant's tiny voice drifted into his ears.
"Really?" Conrad's breath hurried out due to excitement. "Who is it?" He asked in delight.
"Uhm..." The assistant's voice trailed lower. "It is President Jarek of the J Empire." His assistant said which made him freeze.
So this was related to Tinsley and Jarek? Conrad couldn't help thinking downheartedly, but he pretended to be calm. "Okay, I'll be right there. Help me draft a letter." Conrad instructed
"I don't think that is necessary boss, you may come over, and I will explain in detail to you." His assistant said, and he hummed before he cut off the call.
Conrad sighed and stared at Lillee's ward. After a few minutes of contemplating, he finally entered her ward.
"Lillee, I am going to the office for something urgent, do you need me to get you something?" He asked her gently, but she only stared into space as if she didn't notice his presence.
"My baby." She murmured which made Conrad feel as if something sharp penetrated his heart, but he tried to steady his voice in order not to make her worried.
