“Conrad!” Esme yelled out in sadness as she could feel the pain in her right eye.
“They personally said that she did it!”
“That’s why I hope that you can prove that she didn’t!”
Esme shook her head. “I don’t want anything to happen to Fia, but it makes me sad to see how you’re siding with her like this.
“Conrad… I don’t have anything anymore. I lost my career, I lost my health, and I lost you. But Fia has everything! She has your love, your child, and Doctor Evans’s love for her!”
“Enough!” Conrad could feel his fury rising again when he thought of Jason Evans.
“Conrad, you weren’t like this in the past. Now that Fia has become like this, how can you tolerate her like this? She had committed a crime, so she must be punished.”
“She must be very afraid after being left in the station for a few days. That’s already enough punishment!” Conrad could feel himself losing control even though his breathing became heavy.
He didn’t care if Fia did it or not. He only wanted to get her out.
Esme could see the worry in his eyes and felt the chill in her heart, but from the despair came hope.
This was the best time for her to offer a trade with him.
“It’s not impossible for my parents to give up.”
Conrad became spirited once more. “You know of a way?”
Esme frowned and then spoke as if it was difficult for her. “My parents have always been impressed with you. Even when we were still studying, they were already thinking about where to have our wedding, and how it should be.”
Conrad tightened his grip till his fingers turned white. There was resentment and rejection coming from deep inside of him.
“Conrad, I don’t want to drag you into this, but I’m just telling you what my parents want. You don’t have to be pressured. I may be injured, but I’m still fine. Even if Fia can’t prove her innocence, I believe that she won’t be in there for long.”
“Fine!” It felt like Conrad’s heart had been slashed open. How could he let that little girl be imprisoned?
Never!
Esme looked at Conrad in pleasant surprise.
“That means… you agree to it?!”
Conrad looked away, refusing to look at her again.
He knew that she was using this opportunity to blackmail him.
The Esme from his memories had already been spoiled, but he couldn’t wait too long. He needed to get Fia out of there first!
“Then I’ll give my parents a call. Tell them about it.”
Very quickly, Hank and Beth both returned to the ward Both of them looked at him expectantly.
Hank carefully asked, “Are you willing to make peace with Esme?”
Beth then said, “I knew it. I know that your love for each other is very strong. You finally understand. Everything that Esme had suffered for is worth it.”
“Fia comes out first,” Conrad said those words coldly.
Beth and Esme exchanged a glance and Beth said with a sob, “Oh, Conrad. It’s not that I don’t trust you. It’s just that Esme had suffered so much. I can ony feel at ease once the marriage has been pre- arranged.”
Conrad gritted his teeth and said, “Then what do you want?”
“Why don’t we have an engagement first? We have to make this grand. We can’t do it like how you did with Fia and didn’t announce it to the outside world at all.”
Beth’s words once again stabbed into him.
When he got married to Fia, there was no wedding ceremony, no wedding dinner. They simply signed the
papers.
If he were to openly announce his engagement to Esme, he couldn’t hide it from Fia.
With Fia’s temper, she would never forgive him.
Once he did that, once Fia came out, their marriage was over.
