Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

Stella basically knew the reason when she saw that, if it was not because of that bastard’s order, what

else could it be? She then said, “Never mind, thank you.” She lied on the bed and closed her eyes.

Outside the ward, Nathan asked, “Aren’t you going in, Mr. Conrad?”

Clarence retrieved his eyes and replied coldly, “For what? To let her shout at my face?” Nathan

whispered, “Missus only said that due to anger, when her health and mood have improved, Mr. Conrad

would be able to…” Clarence only said, “Who else came today?”

“Mr. Dempsey and Mr. Justin Conrad came, also Miss Steward, but none of them could go in.” Ever

since Stella was carried out of the operation room, they had sent men to completely take over the

hospital and no one from the Conrad’s could gain entrance. Dempsey was mad when he was blocked

from entering, yet since there were many people at the hospital, he could not lose his temper and could

only return.

Clarence sat on the bench outside the ward and spoke blandly, “He must really be anxious to know the

situation inside here now.”

“Don’t worry, Mr. Conrad, I got it covered.” Clarence spoke, “Tell him the news, and let him give up.”

“Yes, sir.”

Yet according to Dempsey’s suspicious personality, he might not believe it that easily. They still needed

full preparation. Clarence received a call from his subordinate the moment Nathan left. “Mr. Conrad,

someone’s intruded in…”

Clarence was not surprised at all and he replied, “I get it.” The moment he finished, a series of quick

footsteps was heard along the corridor. Horace showed up before him the next second. Seeing

Clarence, he rushed towards him and landed a punch straight on his face with burning eyes. “Clarence

Conrad, so this is how you take care of her?”

No expression could be seen from Clarence’s face. He only raised his hand, wiped the blood from the

corner of his mouth and looked up at him. “You’re nowhere better than me.” Horace was so angry that

he smiled. “Yes, I am nowhere better than you. If I’ve given her more care back then, she would not

marry you and suffer all these ordeals!”

Sherry who finally caught up on him from behind felt her head almost exploded. She whispered and

suggested, “Do you guys want to talk at other place? I think she could hear your conversation from the

inside.” Having heard that, Horace regained his rationality and composure. He took a deep breath,

ignored Clarence and looked towards the ward.

Stella was still maintaining the same posture and she seemed to have fallen asleep. Sherry opened the

door and walked in, standing next to her bed. “Stella.” Hearing her voice, Stella opened her eyes.

Sherry went around the bed and walked towards the window. She sat on the edge of her bed. Looking

at her pale face, she could not say anything to console her, and the rim of her eyes started to become

red.

Stella smiled at her. “Why are you crying? I’m fine, and I’ll get discharged few days later.” Sherry sniffed

and wiped her tears. “I know. Do have a rest, I’ll stay here by your side.” Stella let out a soft grunt and

asked, “How did you know I’m here?”

“I didn’t manage to contact you and I was lost, so I looked for Horace. He brought me here…” Stella

kept quiet. “What about Chan? Does he know?”

“Don’t worry, I didn’t tell him anything.”

“Sherry, say thank you to Horace for me. I want to sleep now.”

“Alright.”

Horace was standing right at the entrance and he heard Stella’s words. He nodded at Sherry and

closed the door for them. Clarence was still sitting there outside the door and he did not intend to leave.

Horace glimpsed at him and lowered his voice. “Since you’re going to get married soon, I hope you

could leave her alone from now onwards.” After finished, he let out a self-deprecating smile, “Of course,

me too.”

That was also the reason why he only stood at the entrance today. He knew it would never be possible

between them anymore. He could no longer take one more step forward and he did not dare to have

any high hopes anymore. After finished, without glimpsing at Clarence anymore, he turned around and

left. Clarence pursed his lips and he slowly clenched his fists on his knees.

In the ward, after sitting for a while, Sherry knew Stella did not fall asleep. She then asked softly,

“Stella, do you need some water?” Stella only replied after a few seconds, “No, thanks.”

“Hmm…then are you hungry? I’ll ask the doctor to see what you could eat.” Stella slowly opened her

eyes and said, “Sherry.” Sherry approached her. “Yes?” Stella was looking listless. “I’m okay, you can

go home now.”

“I think I should still stay by your side, I would still worry if I go back, seeing you like this.” Stella smiled

and looked at her. “I’m fine, really. I’ll be able to get discharged after a few days.” No matter what she

said, Sherry would disagree. Stella did not continue in the end, she only said, “Sherry, please have a

look at Adolph Miller for me at the ICU.”

“Adolph Hiller?” Sherry suddenly recalled that name and she exclaimed. “He’s the one who helped

Modesty Parker…” Stella nodded. “He initially wanted to kidnap me, but unexpectedly, he saved me

too.” Since Joanna Conrad already planned to kill her, she would not just do something to the car only.

If she really did go down the hills along that road, she would not know what else was waiting for her

afterwards.

Sherry thought for a while. “Alright, I’ll be right back.” She also wanted to ask the doctor regarding

Stella’s situation. After she left, Stella sat up and put her hand on her abdomen, looking through the

window with her eyes glazing over. The weather seemed to turn cold and it was drizzling. The room

was stuffy.

Not knowing how long had passed, the door of the ward was pushed open. Stella thought Sherry had

returned. As she was going to turn around and talk to her, she noticed the one standing at the entrance

was Clarence. She was not provoked, and she smiled instead. “Why, has Mr. Conrad made a

decision?”

Clarence looked at her silently and closed the door without uttering a word. Stella retrieved her eyes

and looked into space. Clarence stood beside her and said calmly, “Stella, I hope you understand it’s

not because of me that the child’s gone. I’ve reminded you not to trust anyone from the Conrad’s.”

“I know, you did mention, and I should face the consequence of my action, shouldn’t I?” Stella looked

calm. “Since the situation has become like this, I think Mr. Conrad need not come here and mock me

anymore.” Clarence was deeply enraged and disappointed. He only spoke after taking a breath. “Do

you must talk to me like that?” Stella looked at him and only felt amused. “If you don’t want to listen to

me, you can leave.”
