Chapter 309
She couldn’t take it anymore. He had been with her the whole time, and thanks to him charming her occasionally,
she was covered in layers of sweat from feeling hot. She was feeling all sticky.
“Do you still want to take a shower?”
A scheming look appeared on Conrad’s face as he put a hand on her waist.
She gritted her teeth and said, “Yes.”
“Shower first or hair first?”
“Shower first?”
“Alright. Sit here and I’ll prepare the water.”
About an hour later, Fia was playing with her now–clean and fragrant hair as she lay in the blanket with her face
blushed. Conrad’s hands went into his pocket and he pulled out his cigarette pack.
“I’m going off for a bit. Call me if there’s anything.”

Conrad quickly went out and found a flight of stairs where the wind could reach him. He smoked as the wind blew.
The entire process of him helping her during her shower was tormenting.
He took a deep breath, trying to dispel the images in his mind. He reminded himself that she was still recovering
from her injuries. He needed to be a gentleman. He couldn’t think of anything like that.
He only managed to calm down after two sticks of cigarettes.
“Eileen, I need to tell you something.”
“What is it? Is Conrad bullying you again? I shouldn’t have given you to him! If I had known, I wouldn’t have taken
the advertising job. I should be here to take care of you.”
“No, no. He didn’t bully me,” Fia said as she bit her lips. “He’s treating me so well. It’s not normal.”
“Huh?”
“He even helped me shower and he washed and blew my hair.” Fia’s voice became softer after each word. Eileen
pressed her phone close to her ear in order to hear the words.
She was stunned. “A shower?”
“Yeah. Isn’t that strange?”
“Holy… He didn’t do that to you, did he? You just had a miscarriage!”
“No. He was being very gentlemanly.”
Eileen was quiet for a moment and said, “I didn’t expect him to be such a gentleman.”
“Eileen, I’m hesitating.”
“Why?”
“I told him that after we leave the hospital, we’ll finalize our divorce. He agreed to it too. But… Why is he
treating me so well? He doesn’t have to do this just for our lost baby, right?”
“I don’t know either,” Eileen said as she sat cross–legged on the sofa and remembered how she aborted her baby.
Victor had also treated her very nicely, and even made food for her.
She didn’t understand why he didn’t want their child but treated her so well.
“Fia… Maybe… Maybe he loves you a little?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFia’s heart skipped a beat. “That shouldn’t be it.”
“Maybe wait a little bit more? Once you’re discharged, see if he still treats you that well? Maybe it’s all just an act in
the hospital and he will show his true nature once he’s out of the hospital?”
“Okay. I’ll pay more attention.”
The door opened and closed. There was a hint of a faint tobacco smell.
“You went out and smoked again?”
“Yeah, for a bit.”
“Do you want to die, Conrad?!” Fia said somewhat angrily. “Have you forgotten the internal bleeding you had last
time to the point you fainted?!”
“I haven’t been drinking lately.”
“What’s the difference between drinking and smoking?!”
Conrad stared at Fia for two seconds. He could see the blaze in her eyes. She was very angry, but he felt firm for
some reason.
“Fia, if you don’t want me, I think I’ll smoke and drink. I’ll never be able to get rid of it.”
