Chapter 23
Fia could feel coldness slowly overtaking her body as her hands by her side curled into tight fists “Don’t worry. If my grandma is alright, I’ll divorce you immediately!”
Her tears rolled down as she gritted her teeth.
“As for the project, my grandma had already said it. You have no right to give it to Esme.”
“Fine “Conrad averted his eyes. The woman’s expression and tears made him feel agitated. He even felt somewhat upset. He didn’t want to look at her anymore.
“I’ll pay you back twice the market price.”
Echo tried to hold back her coughing as she asked, “That project is worth 150 million dollars right now. Are you sure you want to do that?”
“I’m a man of my word.”
“Mr. Maxwell… You’re really someone who’s willing to sacrifice so much just for your love!” Fia couldn’t help but sneer before quickly moving away while supporting her mother. Eileen’s hand extended past Echo and held Fia. She could feel that her body was cold, so she kept on rubbing her arm. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“Don’t worry, Fia. No matter what happens, you still have me.”
Outside of the mansion, Silas was already standing in front of the car. When he saw the three of them, he quickly opened the car door.
“Madam, come in. I’ll take you to the hospital.”
Fia let out another laugh. Eileen’s car was already on the way to the hospital with her grandma in it. She had no choice but to use Conrad’s car.
She smiled. He was so calm even now. He could still arrange for everything, even a driver.
“Fia, let’s go,” Eileen urged. She thought that Fia didn’t want to use Conrad’s car out of spite.
Fia helped her mother up into the car and then said to Silas, “Please tell him later to have the legal. department draft the divorce papers.”
Silas paused, wanting to say something. However, he also knew that he was not in a position to say. anything.
“Alright. I’ll tell him.”
“Start the car then, please.” Fia held her mother’s arm tightly as she couldn’t help but cry.
She closed her eyes. She could stop the tears like that, right?
Once they were at the hospital, Silas got a wheelchair, and he pushed Echo in it. Meanwhile, Eileen was supporting Fia When she saw how anxious she was, she consoled her “Don’t worry. Your grandma’s a good person. She’ll be fine”
Once the door to the operating theater was opened, two doctors wearing green surgical gowns and masks walked out. When one of them saw Fia, he quickly walked over
Before he could even say anything as he removed his mask, Fia quickly asked him about her grandma when she saw who it was, “Doctor Evans! My grandma’s inside! How is she?”
Jason frowned and said. “Thea Lawson is your grandmother?”
“Yes She suddenly fainted at home” With that, Fia’s tears began to well up again.
She had been crying a lot these past few days.
Jason patted her arms and said, “Control your emotions. You still have the ba…”
“How’s my grandma?” Fia quickly stopped him. She didn’t want the others to know about her pregnancy.
“We managed to save her, but she’s not doing that well.” Jason then turned to look at Echo, who was sitting in a wheelchair
Three generations… And two of them had fallen ill. How anxious Fia must be feeling.
As he had never seen her father or her other relatives, he wanted to ask her about her family situation, but he knew that he had to maintain a distance and so he forced himself not to ask her about it.
Cough. “How’s my mother?” Echo asked as she coughed. She pressed her hand on her chest. Only with that could she lessen the duration of her coughs.
Jason smiled and said, “Don’t worry. She’s fine for now.”
“Thank you. Where is she, then?”
Just then, the nurse pushed out a bed with Thea on it.
Echo coughed by the bed’s railing and carefully called out to her.
“Eileen…” Fia called out to her friend. “Can you please take my mom to my grandma’s ward? I have to ask the doctor about something.”
Eileen knew that she wanted to avoid Echo and so she did as she was told.
