Chapter 102
Fia knew very well that her mom didn’t want her to divorce. And she didn’t want to make her worry.
She said with a smile. “Not bad.”
“Is he coming back in time to accompany you lately?”
“Yes, just like in the past.”
Echo patted Fia’s hand and said, “Good. I can rest easy now.”
When Fia remembered her grandma’s passing, she was saddened.
Suddenly, she wanted to tell her mom about her pregnancy.
She was worried that her mother would suddenly leave just like her grandma.
“Mom, there’s something that I need to come clean with you. You’ll be happy once you know it and you won’t worry that much about me anymore.”
“What is it?” Echo looked at her expectantly.
“Mom, I…”
She was just about to tell her when she heard familiar footsteps coming from behind her. She instantly zipped her mouth.
“Why are you here too, Conrad?” Echo asked.
Fia turned around and glanced at Conrad, lying to Echo and saying, “He went to park his car. That’s why he’s slightly late.”
“You shouldn’t have come here first. You should have waited for him.”
“There are too many cars in the parking lot. It smells bad,” Fia said with a smile.
Echo sighed and said, “You were never this delicate when you were little.”
She then turned to Conrad. “This is thanks to you too, I suppose. You took very good care of her for the past three years.”
Fia looked at her mom suspiciously.
She didn’t understand why she would praise Conrad at a time like this.
To the point that Conrad was feeling somewhat guilty about it.
“Mom, take good care of yourself. Don’t overthink things. I’ll deal with everything.”
“I’m not worried about anything now. The only thing that I’m still worried about is after my passing, no one will even know that she’s crying alone.”
Echo waved her hand toward Conrad.
Once he was also by her bedside, she held their hands and put them together.
“A husband and wife pair are to be one flesh. I hope that, as the husband, you can be considerate of her. She had suffered so much with me.”
After that, she couldn’t help but begin to cough again as she turned to the side.
“Don’t worry, mom. I’ll live a good life.” Fia pulled her hand that was stacked together with Conrad’s away and patted her back.
Conrad looked at the two of them and said, “Don’t worry. No matter what happens in the future, I’ll remember that Fia is my wife.”
Fia was slightly stunned before smiling condescendingly.
A moment ago, he was patiently consoling Esme.
A moment later, he said that he would remember that she was his wife.
She never knew that he was such a good actor.
“Good, good,” Echo said after she stopped coughing and lay back in bed.
“Fia… Don’t waste your time on me anymore. I’m getting sleepier and sleepier as time goes by. You should live a good life with Conrad… Stay by his side.”
Fia wasn’t sure what to say when Conrad suddenly held her hand.
“We’ll come to visit you again, Mom.”
“Sure. Go on.”
After they were out of the ward, Fia immediately flung Conrad’s hand away and walked away.
He quickly followed her and held her arm so that she couldn’t leave.
“You’ve recovered from your allergy?”
“Nothing to do with you.”
“Esme is not doing well. Come with me.”
“And do what?” Fia stopped and stared at him coldly.
Conrad frowned and said, “I don’t like you looking at me like that.”
He lost all interest in communicating with her and immediately dragged her along.
He only stopped when it was outside Esme’s ward.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
He then warned her, “If you don’t want things to go out of hand, apologize to Esme.”
Fia frowned and remembered Eileen’s pleading on the phone.
“If I apologize, you’ll give up on your plans for those men and your cousin, right?”
