Stop It, She’s Remarrying! By Stellar Strands Chapter 69
Fia sobbed and said with a cracked voice. “If he wants to divorce me, I don’t know what my child and I will do.”
“Don’t!” Thea said with a stern voice. “You cannot divorce for the sake of this child! If you do, it’ll be even harder for you to protect the child! Esme and her mother won’t let the baby survive!
“Fia, you experienced the life of living without a father yourself. You know how hard it would be for a child to grow up without a father.”
Her grandmother’s words were like needies punctured into her beating heart.
Everyone has called her a b*stard since she was little. Everyone bullied her because she had no father.
She didn’t want her own child to suffer the same way.
But Conrad wanted a divorce no matter what.
Thea grabbed Fia’s hand tightly, “Don’t worry. Think about your child. Stay strong! You are Madam Maxwell. As long as you refuse to sign the paper, he can’t go through the process alone.”
“But if he demanded it?”
“Buy time. At least until you give birth to your child safely.”
When Fia returned to the ward, her mother had already awakened. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
“Fia, where’s your grandma?”
“She went to the courthouse.”
Echo frowned. “Is she going to be okay alone?”
“My uncles are going too, right?”
“Your grandma is stubborn and didn’t tell your uncles about it.”
Suddenly, everything her grandma told her just now resurfaced in her mind. Fia could feel herself getting
nervous.
“Mom, is it alright if you stay here alone? I want to accompany Grandma.”
“I can. Go!”
Fia took a cab and got to the courthouse. However, the staff stopped her.
“I’m sorry. The court is in session, and no one is permitted to go in anymore.”
“Please, my grandma is the plaintiff. I’m her granddaughter.”
When the staff saw that Fia was almost weeping, he told her, “You can give someone inside a call and have them take you in.”
Fia was stunned. After her phone was smashed by Conrad, all she had left was the telephone card in her pocket.
“Sir, my phone is damaged. Can you lend me yours?”
The staff was just about to take out his phone when he saw someone come out. He mumbled, “It’s fine. Looks like they’re done. Didn’t they say that both sides are social elites and it’s going to take a very long time? Why is the door opened so quickly?”
With the staff still confused, she saw Silas, who was in formal attire, push the reporters away.
And then Conrad followed after him with a woman in his arms.
Fia’s heart skipped a beat as she took a step forward and saw who that person was.
“Grandma!”
Conrad paused for a second before glancing at her with a frown. “To the hospital, now!”
There were a lot of people in the corridor. Fia stared at the surgery theater with her back on the wall as she silently prayed.
She didn’t know how long had passed when the door opened and the doctors walked out.
A group of people rushed over and she was pushed away by someone.
She then heard the doctor’s apologies…
“Mom!”
There was a scream. It was Beth.
After she finished crying, she began to scan her surroundings and immediately rushed over to Fia who was at the back.
She immediately smacked her. “It’s all your fault! Why must you ask Mom for the project and help you with the lawsuit?! She can’t even die in peace and had to die in court! You did this!”
Fia could only feel her head thumping.
“No.”
She pushed Beth away and ran forward.
She then grabbed that doctor by the collar. “Where’s my grandma?!”
The doctor frowned but before he could even say anything, someone had already dragged Fia away.
Her three uncles stopped her and spoke to her in a severe tone.
“Enough, Fia!”
“Your grandmother’s funeral is most important now!”
“Pay attention to your mom. We can’t lose her too!”
