Chapter 306
Fia’s heart skipped a beat. His words were very cold, like an emotionless machine.
“Yes.
Conrad tightened his fist and said, “Fine. We can finish the paperwork once we’re out of the hospital.
“I hope you can promise me one thing while we’re in the hospital,”
“What is it?” Fia’s heart tightened as she became defensive.
“We’re still married. Can we still live as husband and wife during this time?”
Fia’s chest felt stuffy. She didn’t know why he would make such a request.
“This is…” He paused. “For our baby that had passed away. If the baby could still see us and how alienated we are,
the baby wouldn’t be able to leave in peace.”
“Sure.” Fia sniffed as tears rolled down her cheeks.
True. She shouldn’t let the child worry about her.

you have something you want to eat? I’ll buy some for you.” “I want to have some milk tea.”
Conrad didn’t say anything and agreed to it. He put her phone back on the side of her bed. “Give me a call if there’s
anything. I won’t switch my phone off.”
Fia didn’t say anything and looked at him leaving. She was feeling melancholic about all of this. If only he had
treated her like this earlier, she would have hugged him without any reservations. She would even tell him about
her hidden love for him that she had kept hidden all these years. But she could no longer afford to lose like this
anymore.
Someone knocked on the door and Sally pushed the door open.
“Making my rounds.”
Fia hid her terrible feelings as usual and cracked a smile.
“Come in, Doctor Sally.”
“Mr. Maxwell went to buy you something?”
“How did you know?”
“He went to my office and told me to keep an eye on you. I suppose he’s worried about leaving you alone in the
ward.”
“I see.” Fia nodded, not wanting to think too much about why Conrad would do that.
She couldn’t fall for his gentleness again. She wouldn’t be able to get herself out.
Sally gave Fia a checkup and asked a few questions. Seeing that everything was normal, she quickly left. She still
had a few patients she needed to check on.
Conrad came back with milk tea and when he saw Fia alone, he frowned.
“Didn’t Doctor Hall come by?”
“She did, but she left already.”
“How can she be so irresponsible?!”
Fia was speechless. “How responsible do you want her to be? There’s more than one patient in this hospital.”
There was something in Conrad’s eyes as he said, “Once the address for our company in the capital has been

Fia felt something wicked was coming her way
“If you get sick, all the doctors and nurses there will concentrate all their efforts just on you.”
“Conrad, are you trying to put a curse on me?!” Fia really felt that he could be quite stubborn at times.
No wonder when he dated Esme, he would allow her to tag along.
“No,” Conrad said sincerely. “I’m serious.”
“So you’ll invest in a hospital just to take care of me? One, single patient?”
“Of course not. When you’re not sick, they can take care of other patients. When you’re sick, they’ll have to focus
on you.”
“What you’re saying is really making me speechless!”
Fia sat up and her eyes were fixed on the bag he was carrying. Inside was milk tea from a brand that she loved the
most.
“I want that.”
Conrad took out the cup of milk tea and put in two straws.
Fia looked at the two straws, confused. And then, she looked at Conrad.
She then saw him bend down while holding one straw and putting it in his mouth.
