Stop It, She’s Remarrying! By Stellar Strands Chapter 198
“Ahaha! You say it’s impossible without any investigation?”
Fia laughed out in despair as her eyes filled with anguish.
When Conrad saw her eyes, he could feel the pain in his heart as well. He couldn’t even think about Esme anymore and simply wanted to hug her.
“Don’t touch me!” She glared at her icily. “Don’t disgust me!”
“Don’t get angry, Fia. The doctor said that you have to rest well. You’ve managed to protect the child after so long… You can’t risk it anymore.”
Conrad knew that it was already very hard for her to get pregnant.
Fia frowned and shook her head. “I wasn’t expecting you to find out about my pregnancy like this.”
“Fia, why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
“Do you think I didn’t want to tell you? How many times have I tried telling you about it? And do you remember what you said?!”
Conrad was stunned. He remembered the numerous times she asked
about artificial insemination and asked if he wanted children.
He said that they were a mistake and that they couldn’t get pregnant at this juncture. And said a lot of times that she couldn’t get pregnant because of her infertility.
Now, everything that he said in the past came back to haunt him.
“I was happy when Mrs. Taylor told me about it!” He wanted to correct his past mistakes desperately.
“Is that so? Are you happy that Esme didn’t kill me? That my baby and

I survived so that she won’t get punished at all?”
“No! Fia, what are you thinking about?!” Conrad couldn’t control himself any longer and stepped forward to grab Fia’s shoulders and stared into her eyes.
He then said sternly and sincerely, “I didn’t say anything because you were infertile before. I was worried that you couldn’t become a mom. You don’t have to worry about it anymore.
“Fia… When the baby is born, who do you think the baby will look like more?”
She simply looked at Conrad dully and repeated the topic earlier. ” Esme pushed me. I want justice.”
Conrad frowned and after a few seconds of silence, he nodded. “Fine.
I’ll ask Esme about it.”
“Ha. Do you think she’s a fool? That she would admit to it?”
“I’ll go to the police, alright?” he said sternly. “If you don’t believe me, you’ll at least believe the police, right?”
Fia remained silent. There was no security camera in the bedroom or at the staircase. Although she was chased by Esme, she didn’t push her. She had missed a step because Esme scared her. How were the cops supposed to investigate? They wouldn’t find anything.
But when she heard that Conrad said he would call the cops to settle this, she felt somewhat consoled.
When Conrad saw that she was calming down, he said, “I know that you’re not feeling well lately. But no matter what, we have to stabilize your emotions for the baby’s sake.”
“I know.” Fia looked away and pushed the hand on her shoulder away. “Move your hand. I want to sleep.” Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Sure.” Conrad helped her pull her blanket and sat in the chair in front

of her bed. “I’ll watch over you. Let me know if you want anything.”
Fia turned around with her back against him while she was thinking of something in her mind.
Because of the pregnancy and lack of rest at night, not to mention her headache, she fell asleep soon after.
Conrad was thinking about what she was obsessed with and decided to respect her wants.
“Excuse me, are you Esme Manning?”
The door to the ward opened and two police officers in uniform walked in.
Esme anxiously nodded. “Yes, I am. What is it?”
“Someone reported that you’re involved in an attempted murder. Please cooperate with our investigation.”
“No! You’ve got it all wrong!”
Esme pushed away the hand of the officer that wanted to take her. There must be some kind of misunderstanding. Can you please let me go tell my boyfriend about this? I’m still admitted to the hospital, and my boyfriend will be worried if he can’t find me.”
“Fine. Can you please call your boyfriend over then?”
Just then, Conrad walked in.
Esme pounced over at him as if she saw her savior.
Conrad pushed her away and said with a frown, “Esme, please have
some respect.”
The officers were confused and one of them asked, “Mr. Maxwell, is she your girlfriend?”
