Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

Chapter 69

When the doctor and the nurse left the ward, they saw Clarence. The doctor asked, “Are you her family. The patient…”

Clarence withdrew his lines of sights and replied coldly, “I’m not.”

“Then you…”

“I just walked pass here.”

The doctor was rendered speechless.

“How could you stand at the door and look into the ward for a long while if you just walked pass here?” The doctor thought in his heart.

When the doctor was about to leave, Clarence suddenly spoke, “She always has problems with her stomach. Please have a check on it.”

The doctor was stunned, “Stomach upset? What are the specific symptoms?”

“Nausea and keck.”

The doctor smiled gently, “Although it was the symptoms for stomach upset, I have to say that nausea and keck are the normal reactions of pregnancy since the patient has been pregnant for four months. Don’t be so nervous.”

Clarence, who was originally fixing his eyes on Stella, narrowed his eyes when he heard the words. His eyes became cold, “What did you say?”

“Nau… Nausea and keck are the normal reactions of pregnancy. Don’t… don’t be so nervous.”

“Others?”

The doctor replied tentatively, “The patient has been pregnant for four months?”

Clarence was suddenly lost in thoughts and the words that Stella said to him before popped into his mind. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

‘Don’t you always want to know what I am thinking? Clarence, I am pregnant, and I need to plan for the future of my baby. I want half of your inheritance, and also the stock of the Conrad Group…’

‘Maybe it’s because I’ve never been on a catwalk before so I’m a little nervous. Whenever I’m nervous, I’ll get sick to my stomach and want to vomit. I’ll be fine after it’s over.’

‘I just found out that my…antacid is missing, I don’t know if I’ve left it in your office…’

‘It’s not mine. It’s Sherry’s… She is getting married soon with her boyfriend and they are preparing to have a baby.’

‘Isn’t Sherry preparing for pregnancy? As the child’s future godmother, it’s normal for me to buy these… things.’

Her lies were full of holes, yet he believed her words.

After the doctor’s departure, Clarence closed the door and walked into the ward.

Standing in front of Stella’s bed, he said with an indifferent and contemptuous expression, “Stella, you really regard me as a fool. I know your personality and quality, yet every time I was still fooled by you.”

Stella, who was lying on the bed, didn’t have any reaction.

Clarence looked down and found that although she was unconscious now, she was still protecting her belly with her hands covering it.

Four months.

She was really good at acting and he didn’t know about her pregnancy at all.

…

Stella wasn’t clear how long she had been sleeping. When she finally woke up, she felt muddle-headed and very uncomfortable. After several seconds, she finally became conscious. She recalled the scene when she fell into the swimming pool and immediately touched her belly.

Sending that the child was still safe and sound in her belly, she heaved a sigh of relief. She turned around as she wanted to know where she was for the time being, but her gaze met with a pair of black cold eyes in the air.

Stella suddenly bounced up from the bed and sat on the bed with the quilt in her arms. She looked quite nervous, “Mr… Mr. Conrad, why are you here?”

Clarence replied in a flat tone, “Who knows. Maybe I just walked pass here.”

Stella conjured up that it was Clarence who helped her out of the swimming pool before and uncontrollably tightened her grip on the quilt. She asked gingerly, “Mr. Conrad, was you who sent me to the hospital?”

Clarence simply fixed his black eyes on her. He didn’t reply.

Feeling uneasy, Stella shifted her gaze away. Why was Clarence starting her like this? She felt really uneasy under his gaze.

After a short while, Stella looked out of the window. Looking at the blue sky, she found a topic, “I’ve been sleeping for the whole night. Sorry to bother you, Mr. Conrad. I can contact my friend to come here.”

Clarence asked, “Which friend?”

“Er… Sherry. You’ve seen her before.”

Clarence replied with a light nasal sound, “Didn’t you say that she’s preparing for pregnancy? Is she pregnant now?”

Stella didn’t know why he suddenly asked this. Feeling uncontrollably nervous, she replied without a second thought, “May… Maybe.”

“If she’s pregnant, how can she come to the hospital to take care of you?”

“Er… It doesn’t matter even if she can’t come here. It’s just that I swallowed too much water before. It’s not a big deal. I guess I can be discharged from the hospital this afternoon.”

When she finished her words, Clarence continued slowly, “If I remember it right, she was cheated by her boyfriend, but she still wants to give birth to that man’s child under such circumstance. Looks like your friend is more lenient than you. You should learn from her.”

Stella was rendered speechless.

Was Clarence crazy?

Right at this moment, they heard someone knock on the door.

Clarence withdrew his lines of sights and said in a flat tone, “Come in.”

Nathan soon appeared in the ward with a Kraft bag in his hand. He put the bag in front of Clarence, “Mr. Conrad, it’s solved.”

“Okay, you can leave now.”

Nathan nodded at Stella slightly and then strode out of the ward.

The door of the ward was closed and only the two of them were left in the room again.

It was the first time that Stella failed to figure out what Clarence was thinking. He looked so calm that she felt a gush of chill on her back.

Clarence threw the Kraft bag to her, “Open it.”

“What’s it?”

Clarence didn’t reply, his expression remaining indifferent.

Stella could only pick up the Kraft bag and opened it. When she took the things out from the bag, Clarence’s emotionless voice sounded, “Sign the document and you will get half of my inheritance.”

Stella paused. She looked up at him and asked in a husky voice, “Mr. Conrad, what do you mean?”

“You requested for it, didn’t you? You want half of my inheritance. Or are you regretting it now? You want more?”

Stella remembered clearly when she requested Clarence for this.

No wonder that Clarence acted abnormally just now and asked her about Sherry’s preparation for pregnancy. It turned out that the question was intentional.

It seemed like he had learned about the truth.

Stella put the document back to the bag and remained silent. After a long while, she asked, “What do you want me to do?”

Clarence replied in a cold voice without a second thought, “Abort the child.”

Although Stella had expected this answer, she still felt like her heart was stabbed by a knife and it ached so much. She felt breathless under the sharp pain.

“I haven’t expected that Mr. Conrad would be so generous. It’s just an unborn child, but you can ask me to give it up at such a high cost.”

“You do not lose.”

It was true that if she gave up the child, she would get a large amount of money.

“But if…” Stella bit her lower lip tightly until it began to bleed. She then continued in a hoarse voice, “If I want to keep it?”

There was no expressional change on Clarence’s face, “You don’t have any reason to keep it.”

Stella chuckled. Yeah, in his eyes, no matter her pregnancy was real or fake, he had drawn the conclusion that she approached him for the sake of money.

Now he gave him an opportunity to get half of his inheritance and she just needed to give up an unborn child. Did she have any reason to refuse this?
