Chapter 553


    Chapter 553


    Sure enough, after a while, there were people attempting to pay Fia a visit. They were Sally, Jason,


    Annie, Barbara, and Britney.


    However, their request for a visit was rejected by the bodyguards.


    Being the professional physician that she was, Sally exined to everyone, “Fia’s emotionally unstable


    at the moment. Too much has happenedtely, so it’s only natural for her to want to have some peace


    of mind. Let’s let her be for now, shall we?”


    Conrad heard someone talking outside of the private ward. And judging from the footsteps, there were


    a lot of people too. He had only just soothed Fia to sleep a few minutes ago. So, he got up to get the


    door. He needed to send them away so his wife could get a good rest.


    Seeing that the door was opened, Sally quickly took a peek into the ward.


    Conrad closed the door behind him, ring at the people who were walking away, “Did you call them


    over?”


    “No, I didn’t.” Sally shook her head with a puzzled face. Come on now, she had many patients to attend


    to. She did not have the time to entertain these social calls.


    All she did was tell Jason about Fia being sent to the hospital. As for Annie… Annie was a Parker, so it


    was rather easy for the news to reach her.


    Conrad asked, “What about the Thomas sisters? Why’d theye?”


    Sally gave it a thought before answering, “Perhaps it’s because Britney is working under you? So, she


    and Barbara heard it from Annie?”


    Annie was, technically, Barbara’s stepdaughter. So, being a friend of the Thomases, Sally knew some


    of this insider juice between the Parkers and Thomases.


    Besides, Britney had been showing up for hellos and goodbyestely. So, Sally now also knew that


    Annie, Barbara, and Britney were all working at Maxwell Corporation.


    Still, after pondering it a little further, Sally lowered her shoulders and said with a hint of uncertainty,


    “They work for you… So, perhaps it’s just normal for them to show up together?”


    Conrad was surprised to hear that from her. His cold re mellowed a little as he directed them. at


    Sally.


    Sally responded ufortably, “I don’t mean anything by it. It’s just that… Britney was talking with me


    last night. She said Annie has feelings for you.’


    Conrad kept on listening quietly.


    Sally continued, “Look, Fia’s been emotionally unstabletely. But she could have just pretended to not


    care. There’s a chance that a small unassuming incident could break her mentally at any moment. You


    ought to look out for her.”

    Conrad nodded gratefully. “Thank you, Doctor Sally.”


    “Fortunately, physically speaking, Fia isn’t badly hurt this time. From what we could see from the


    scans, her cerebral congestion had receded by a great deal. That’s great news. Make sure she doesn’t


    miss her medicine. And don’t forget the spray to heal that bump at the back of her head. If you notice


    that she’s notfortable staying in the hospital, you should arrange for her to be discharged.”


    Sally was not sure if telling Conrad what she knew from Britney would affect Annie at her work.


    If Conrad fired her soon after, it would mean she was the one who cost her friend’s job.


    However, right now, Sally cared more about Fia:


    As Conrad walked back into Fia’s ward, he was stunned.


    Fia was awake, standing next to the door, away from the view from outside.


    Perhaps she was never asleep in the first ce.


    Fia lowered her head as she felt Conrad’s gaze. “Annie has done nothing wrong at work. You can’t fire


    her. It’d be a case of unfair dismissal.”


    Conrad frowned as he released the phone that he had grabbed in his pocket.


    He was indeed nning to ask Ss to fire Annie.


    “Just ignore her, okay? There’s no need to do any fixing here. Or else, people will surely think. you’re in


    the wrong.” Fia still lowered her head as she continued making her case.


    She tried her best to look like she was not bothered by Annie’s crush on her husband.


    Conrad felt a pinch of hurt in his heart, seeing his wife like this. He gently hugged her, pulling her higher


    and gently letting her feet step on his feet. “The floor’s too cold. Here. Use my feet as your slippers.”


    Fia did not refuse. She gently stepped on his feet, fearing that her entire body weight would hurt him.


    Conrad gently hugged her. “Do you want to leave the hospital? Go back home?”


    Fia hesitated. She did hear Sally’s words-that she was allowed to be discharged and go home.


    However, that man who saved her life was still in intensive care, still in aa.


    Hesitation loomed over her mind as she stood silently, pondering if she should pay the old man a


    visit before she left for home.
