Stop It, She’s Remarrying! By Stellar Strands Chapter 125
Conrad had personally brewed a cup of tea and made a gentlemanly gesture.
“Please have stea, Mr. Reginald.”
Reginald held the teacup In his hand and took a sip before putting it back down.
“Long tno see, Conrad,” he said with a smile.
Conrad nodded. “I didn’t know you were coming back today. If I had known, I would have gone to the airport to pick you up.”
Reginald smiled. “You’re running the Maxwell Corporation so well. You must be busy every day. I wouldn’t want to disturb you.”
“You’re joking, Mr. Reginald. You and my grandpa are best friends. When he was still alive, he always toldto treat you like my own grandfather.”
“Your own grandfather? Haha! No, no, no. I won’t cross that boundary!” Reginald stopped his smile and looked at him severely.
Conrad frowned and asked, “How long will you be back this time?”

Reginald sighed and said, “Few people our age like to speak in riddles, so I’ll get straight to the point. To be honest with you, I was very disappointed when I found out that Thea died because of a lawsuit between you two!”
Conrad tightened his fists. “You don’t know what happened betweenand Thea.”
“Don’t know what happened? It’s all because of that project, isn’t it? The reason I cback here is to tell you the truth!”
As soon as he left the coffee shop, Conrad immediately called Silas.
“Silas, get speople to retrieve something from my grandpa’s grave.”
Silas was shocked and swallowed the words he wanted to say. Instead, he asked curiously, “You want to dig out the old master’s grave?”
“I need to retrieve a document regarding the project.”
While he had heard a long story from Reginald, he needed to see it for himself.
He wouldn’t believe that the project belonged to Thea just because of a story that Reginald told him.
If that was true, then he had really becthe person that killed Thea, even if indirectly. His grandpa would not forgive him from the grave!
“I don’t know why you suddenly want to dig out the old master’s grave, but if the others from the family find out, they’ll complain about you.”
Conrad took in a deep breath and was about to refute when Silas quickly changed the topic.
“I’ve just received a call from the hospital. They said that the madam’s mother won’t make it. Do you want to pay her a visit at the hospital?”
The more Silas spoke, the quieter he became. He was worried all his boss thought about right now was Ms. Manning and he didn’t want to hear anything about the madam.
Conrad suddenly frowned and said, “I understand. I’m heading to the hospital right now. The retrieval of the document must not be delayed. Do not let the others find out.”
Inside the ward.
Fia guarded Echo as her tears rolled down her face, memories of the past replaying in her mind.
“Mom.”
She carefully held Echo’s hand.
“Is it because ofthat you suffered such a serious disease?
“If I… Stop obsessing about love…

When Conrad arrived, he heard the second half.
He remembered Thea’s death. He thought that the reason Fia treated him so badly right now was because of his lawsuit with Thea.
At that moment, he hesitated. He was worried that she would be even more upset to see him there.
Echo slowly opened her eyes and the respirator mask began to form a mist. She tried her best and said,” Fia… I… Want to go home…”
Fia crouched down to listen to what she had to say and saw Conrad. She also heard what her mother had to say.
“Fine, let’s go home.”
Echo shook his head, and said in a voice weaker than a newborn’s whimper, “Con… rad…”
Fia’s eyes were filled with red as she looked at Conrad, tears still rolling. “He’s here.”
Conrad quickly stepped forward and crouched on the other side of the bed.
“I’m here, mom.”
Echo raised her hand with difficulty and grabbed Conrad’s arm.
