Stop It, She’s Remarrying! By Stellar Strands Chapter 101
“Why. Why did they treat me like that? Conrad! Please help me. I don’t want to live anymore!”
Conrad could feel his heart thrown into turmoil and he placed his hand hesitantly on Esme’s shoulders
T’ll help you get justice.”
They had just gone to see a psychologist, and according to his analysis, she had Post–Traumatic Stress Syndrome.
If she were to recover, she would need to be accompanied by someone she trusted the most.
As Thea had passed away, Beth and Hank had to be at the Lawsons‘. With what happened to Esme, he needed to stay with her
right now.
“Conrad, I know I’m holding you up.”
Esme had been crying to the point that her eyes were swollen and she looked at Conrad pitifully.
“Go back to the company and work. I can ask my mom to accompany me.” Conrad frowned. He was worried that Esme’s parents
would start a fight with Fia.
“Esme, can we talk about it? Let me handle this, alright?”
“How are you going to handle this?” Esme looked at Conrad pitifully.
Conrad gulped and said. “By not dragging Fia into this.”
Esme raised her eyes and looked at him sorrowfully.
“Conrad, you... You’re worried that my mom will know that Fia ordered Victor to do this and give Fiat trouble?”
Conrad looked at Esme’s tears rolling down and said with difficulty. “Don’t worry. I’ll ask her to apologize
to you.”
“I don’t want her apology!”
Esme pounced into Conrad’s arms and held his waist.
“Conrad, all I want is for her to return you to me. I don’t want anything else! You’re my life... My medicine... I can’t lose you!”
Conrad stared at the wall.
There were no words.
“When will you divorce? You promised me that you’ll divorce her so that we can get back together,” Esme asked as she cried.
“I” Conrad gulped again. “Esme...”
He pulled Esme away from him and bent down to look her in the eyes.
He then said to her word by word, “I think our relationship has changed. We need some time to clear this up.”
“No! Don’t! Please don’t!” Esme cried out in pain and once again dived into Conrad’s arms.
She trembled, doing her best to make Conrad feel pity for her.
Fia lied down in her bed for a while before she took to the stairs and walked to the floor above.
She was walking around like an anchorless ghost before finally reaching the VIP wards.
She had finally reached the last room when she heard Esme’s cries.
They didn’t pull the curtain, so she could see what was happening inside through the window.
Esme was sitting on the bed while Conrad was standing in front, and she was holding him tightly.
He bent down, holding her too.
What an agonizing moment it was for her.
“Conrad! There are bad people outside!” Esme screamed and kept on diving deeper into Conrad’s arms.
Conrad instinctively looked outside the window and only saw a figure quickly passing by.
He frowned and said, “It’s just a passerby, Esme.”
“Is... Is it?” Esme shuddered. “I’m so scared...”
When Conrad recalled that figure in his mind, he consoled her. “Don’t worry. I’m here. I’ll go take a look
outside.”
Esme nodded briefly and said, “Then come back quickly. I get scared if you’re not here.”
“Sure.”
Conrad quickly stepped out of the ward and the fear, sorrow, and weakness all disappeared from Esme’s expression.
“You can’t beat me, Fia.”
Fia took in a deep breath and opened the door to the ward with a smile.
“Mom.”
“Oh, it’s you, Fia.”
Echo tried to sit up, but she was rapidly losing strength.
Fia walked over and held her shoulder, saying, “Just lie down, mom. Don’t move.” Echo forced a wilting smile and said, “How are
you doing with Conrad lately, Fia?”
