Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

At the same time…

In the hospital…

Clarence woke up at half past seven and looked around.

Only Dolores and Nathan were in the ward, and Stella was not here.

Nathan walked over, “Mr. Conrad, how do you feel?”

Clarence said in a calm yet husky voice, “I’m fine.”

Nathan helped him lift the bed and said, “I will ask the doctor to come over.”

After Nathan’s leaving, Dolores walked over and sat on the sofa beside the bed, “Stella took away the baby.”

Clarence was not surprised by it and replied with a nasal sound.

Dolores heaved a light sigh and asked, “What do you plan to do next?”

“Let’s talk about it later.”

He was now hospitalized and couldn’t do anything.

Clarence paused and then asked, “Did she or the baby get hurt?”

“The baby was startled, but it was not a big problem. But as for Stella… I think she might have a serious mental

problem. I heard from Nathan that the babysitter arranged by Joanna would have smothered the baby if Stella

didn’t show up in time.”

Clarence gently closed his eyes, “It’s my negligence.”

He knew why Dempsey wanted to keep the baby, so he never thought of the possibility that someone would hurt

the child.

Moreover, they attempted to kill the child in front of him.

When rethinking this matter, Clarence figured out that Joanna had prepared to die at that time.

This was the reason why she had no scruples.

Dolores continued, “It’s the best situation that the child is all right. As for other matters… You will have to live in the

hospital for several days, and it can give Stella some time to calm down herself.”

Clarence said in a husky voice, “She will probably not forgive me.”

He could still remember what Stella said to him before and he knew deep down about her personality.

Originally, he planned to tell Stella about the truth after saving the child from Conrad’s Mansion. At least he could

have a glimmer of a chance to justify for himself in this case. How could he know that things would progress out of

his anticipation?

Dolores said, “I can’t help you in this matter. Good luck to you.”

Nathan walked into the ward with a doctor after a while.

After examining Clarence’s condition, the doctor couldn’t help but criticize, “You’re so audacious that you delayed it

for long after being shot. If you came to the hospital several minutes later, your arm would be crippled.”

Clarence replied, “Maybe it’s because I have good luck.”

“That’s true.”

Dolores said, “I will go out to buy breakfast for you.”

After the doctor and Dolores left the ward, Clarence asked, “What’s the condition outside?”

Nathan replied, “Master Conrad has woken up, but his condition is not good. He can only roll his eyes. The doctor

said he suffered a cerebral infarction due to the stimulation and he could only be paralyzed on the bed for the rest

of his life.”

Clarence didn’t have any reaction and simply asked in a calm voice, “What’s the condition in the Conrad’s

Mansion?”

“It rained for the whole night and Joanna’s corpse was only carried away this morning.” Nathan continued, “The

news of the accident last night was suppressed and it didn’t spread out.”

“Send some men to keep an eye on the Conrads. Joanna’s suicide was not an impulsive action. She had been

planning for it.” Clarence said in a cold voice, “Now that she could even sacrifice her life, it means there is a bigger

conspiracy behind this. Keep an eye on all the people in the Conrad family, including those maids, servants, drivers

and security guards. Don’t miss anyone. Investigate it right away if anyone contact with a stranger.”

“Okay.” Nathan then asked, “Then… What about Young Master Justin?”

Clarence pressed his thin lips together. After a while of silence, he instructed, “Let our men follow him. It’s

inconvenient for him to go anywhere. Give him a hand if he has any problems, but remember, don’t let him find

them.”

“Okay.”

Before leaving, Nathan suddenly thought of something and reported, “By the way, Mr. Conrad, Stella came to see

you before.”

Clarence paused and then asked, “When?”

“About two or three o’clock. But she didn’t stay for long and left soon.”

Clarence’s hands which were placed on the quilt were slightly clenched into fists, “What did she say?”

“She satirized me.” Nathan replied, “Ms. Radomil compared me to a clay idol fording a river and asked me not to

involve in your affairs.”

Clarence was rendered speechless.

Nathan said in a low voice, “Mr. Conrad, Ms. Radomil also blames me for this matter. I’m afraid that you…”

Clarence shot a cold glance at him and Nathan immediately left the ward.

Short after Nathan’s leaving, Vincent walked into the ward.

Looking at Clarence, he clicked his tongue, “You’re so valiant. You almost lost your arm.”

Clarence closed his eyes, not wanting to give him a reply.

Vincent continued, “I’ve found out the details. Amanda managed to escape from Conrad’s Mansion that night, but

she bumped into Logan and was then taken back. Dempsey didn’t believe in Logan and required him to kill

Amanda. But he didn’t expect that Amanda’s corpse would be found under the bridge the next morning and that

the police would find out the murderer soon. If my guess is right, it shall be Logan who told Stella that the baby was

in the Conrad’s Mansion.”

Clarence opened his eyes after several seconds and asked, “Where is Logan?”

“Amanda bit his hand before and they found Logan’s skin tissue in her teeth. The evidence is irrefutable and this

case will come to trial soon.”

Clarence asked, “Don’t you feel it weird?”

Vincent nodded his head, “It’s indeed weird. If Dempsey required Logan to kill Amanda personally because he didn’t

trust him, now that Logan had followed his order, it meant he had temporarily made clear of his standpoint. Under

that condition, he would not report the secret to you. Even if Dempsey wanted to go back on his words, he wouldn’t

choose that point because if Logan was caught by the police, he would try his best to get Dempsey involved to save

himself. Dempsey wouldn’t seek troubles for himself.”

Clarence said, “Amanda’s corpse was not revealed by Dempsey’s men.”

Vincent knitted his brows, “Do you mean that there’s a person behind this?”

“I have to guard against Joanna because of her death. Although we have gotten rid of her men, we still don’t know

who has been backing up Joanna so far.”

“Er… Even if someone was backing up Joanna, how could she do that in Dempsey’s territory? What benefits could

she get from this if Dempsey heard about Amanda’s death before we came to the Conrad’s Mansion?”

“This is the ingenious point of this plot. It’s interlocking and every part was just appropriate.” Clarence continued,

“Moreover, Joanna was resolute to die last night. She tried to anger me and stimulated me to kill her, but she didn’t

expect that I was not trapped. So she chose to commit suicide in the end.”

Vincent suddenly felt his hair standing up, “What the heck did she want to do?”

Clarence sneered, “She wanted to plant a seed of hatred in my heart and Justin’s heart. As long as she dies, I and

Justin would not be as intimate as we were before.”

“So Justin was also a part of her plot. But wasn’t she afraid that you would get rid of Justin to prevent possible

risks?”

“Joanna knows this aspect of me better than you do.”

Vincent was stunned and then he quickly figured it out.

Joanna probably was sure that Clarence would not kill Justin no matter what happened. Therefore, she planned this

plot without any scruples.
