Chapter 335
The air conditioner was switched on and she adjusted the temperature to 82 degrees Fahrenheit. She climbed up the bed and gave Eileen a call.
Eileen picked up very quickly. “You’re back in Koi Gardens? I’ll visit you tonight after I’m done with work!”
“I’m back with Conrad now.”
“Huh? Didn’t you say you want to move to your mother’s apartment after you’re discharged?”
“He doesn’t allowto.”
Eileen sighed. “He doesn’t allow you, yes. But you can’t bear to separate from him too, right?”
“He said that I should stay here so Mrs. Taylor can take care of me.”
“True. I’ve delayed my work earlier so I have to catch up. I can’t take care of you.”
“Focus on your work. Don’t think too much,” Fia said. Originally, she wanted to ask her if she knew that Victor’s marriage was on the twentieth of next month. But she was also worried that it might harm her, so she didn’t want to ask her about it.

“Fia, is there something you want to talk toabout by calling me?”
“Well, yeah. He’s been treatingespecially well lately. I feel very strange and I can’t get used to it.
“Tellhow well he is treating you.”
Fia then told her how he was acting when they were together in the hospital. All Eileen could do was stand there with wide eyes.
“That’s not just at a level of being peculiar. He’s almost becoming a simp!” Eileen said in shock. “Fia, is that person still Conrad Maxwell? He needs to give the cup of hot water a blow because it might burn you?”
“Yes. I’m sure it’s him.”
“Well, crap. I can’t even begin to imagine him being like that!” Eileen suddenly remembered Victor. “I never thought that he could be different from my boss.”
“How different?”
“Victor will never do that. Even when taking care of someone he cares about, he would always put on an arrogant face. Let’s not talk about him. Just thinking about it makesfeel annoyed!”
“Sure, let’s not.”
“Fia, my answer is still the same. You and Conrad still have a chance. Why not give it a try?”
Fia hesitated for a second before saying, “You’re my best friend so I don’t want to hide it from you. I’m quite touched lately. Especially that day when he protectedfrom that pedicab that lost control. He even hurt his back.
“But when I’m alone with my thoughts at night, I’ll remember our baby. I can’t live with him after that.”
“Fia, I know how you feel. If you can’t have closure, you’ll be reminded of your child from tto time when you see him.”
Eileen continued, “It’s the stotoo. During the first two years after I aborted my child, I would think about him from tto time. I would wonder, if I didn’t abort the baby, would the baby be a boy or a girl? Would he or she look likeor him? But I can’t, Fia! The more I think about it, the emptier I become! The more drained I would become!”
The two of them chatted for an hour.
After that, both of them avoided talking about their love life. Instead, they talked about their plans for the
future.
Eileen said that she would be attending an award ceremony during the Harvest Festival and wanted Fia to
make a dress for her.
Fia, who was feeling somewhat confused, instantly becspirited. After she ended the call, she took out a pen and paper and began drawing.

So that when she went to the award ceremony, she would be very pretty!
Conrad had been standing outside for a long time, and he eavesdropped on Fia’s call.
She kept on telling Eileen that she was tired, and wanted a divorce.
He didn’t dare to walk inside, worried that she would tell him to speed up the divorce process.
“What are you doing?!” Fia opened the door and was shocked to see the man outside the door.
There was a sense of awkwardness in his tone as he said, “I just cback. Mrs. Taylor said that you’re staying in the guest room so I cover to see.”
“I see,” Fia said as she eyed him suspiciously. “Is everything alright at the company? You haven’t gone back for so long but you cback so soon?”
“Silas can deal with a lot of my usual work. Those that he can’t, would be sent to my email.”
“I remembered that you wanted to take the Maxwell Company to the next level and expand to the capital. Can you succeed if you stay here?”
“I’ve stopped the plan.”
Fia looked at Conrad shocked, and saw her own reflections in his amber eyes.
She heard what he said, but couldn’t understand what he meant.
