Stop It, She’s Remarrying! By Stellar Strands Chapter 60
“It’s fine. It’s nothing important.” Fia had her guard up against Esme.
“She doesn’t have to worry about a thing as the madam of the Maxwell household. She doesn’t have to worry about getting fed or clothed. Unlike my poor little Esme!” Beth said in a bitter tone.
Esme then continued and said, “I never expected Fia to know how to tame a man that well. If I could have half of her skills, I wouldn’t have to live through such hardship.
“That’s right. Maybe you’d have a child or two with Conrad already!” Beth said.
“Oh, enough, both of you!” Thea said with a frigid expression on her face. “Get out! And take your soup with you!”
“Mom! This is how we show our love to you. You can’t do that.”
When Fia heard her tone, she knew they would start fighting again and it would be bad for her mom and grandma.
She didn’t want to get into a conflict with them because of the baby in her womb, so she wanted to ring the bell to call the nurse.
“Why do you want to ring the bell?!” Beth immediately ran over and pulled Fia’s hand, stopping her from calling the nurse.
Meanwhile, Esme moved her wheelchair herself and blocked Fia’s exit. The two of them surrounded her.
“Oh, Fia. You should be more understanding. We’re simply here to visit Aunt Echo and Grandmother, yet you want to call the nurse to get rid of us,” Esme complained to her. “If Conrad knew you were so lacking in sympathy, he would be disappointed in you.”
“Don’t talk about him!” What she said provoked Fia.
“Why are you yelling? Your cousin told you about it for your own good. You’ve been married to him for three years and you don’t even have a child! You don’t even look like a proper madam and you’re just disgracing yourself!” This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Meanwhile, Esme didn’t stay put in the wheelchair and kicked Fia in the leg.
On the other side, Beth continued to berate her and even pinched her at her waist.
Fia cried out in pain and pushed Beth away intuitively.
“Oh, my god! Mom, just look at her! Since Echo can’t teach Fia properly, as Fia’s aunt, I’ll help Echo teach her daughter a lesson instead!” With that, she threw a fist at Fia.
“Beth Lawson! Stop right now!” Thea roared and wanted to stop her, but she fell down from the bed instead.
“Mom!” Echo also fell down from her bed because of her nervousness.
Fia yelled out for her mom and grandma out of worry, but since she was surrounded by Esme and her aunt, she grabbed Esme’s hair out of anger.
Esme felt like her hair was getting pulled off her scalp and she screamed.
When the nurse nearby heard the scream, she quickly came in.
What happened next was the nurse trying to calm them down. Both Jason and Conrad ran into the ward at the same time,
When Fia saw her mother and grandma being helped up to their beds, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, Esme cried as she hugged Conrad’s waist and said, “Conrad, Fia pulled my hair! It’s so painful! She pulled so much of my hair out!”
She showed the hair in her hand to him. “Look, Conrad!”
Fia was speechless. If she had pulled her hair out, shouldn’t the hair be in her hand instead?
She was sure that Esme pulled her hair herself!
“How dare you, Fia! You went overboard!”
Beth pushed Fia away, and she lost her footing and fell. Her stomach slammed right into the bedside table.
“It hurts…”
Conrad wanted to go check up on her when Esme grabbed him even tighter.
He was about to free himself from her when he saw Jason walk around the bed and help Fia up.
The two of them were very close, as if no one was watching.
At the same time, Conrad pushed Esme away with an angry expression on his face.
“Are you alright?” Jason asked her with worry on his face.
“Doctor, my belly hurts.” Fia was terrified. As she grabbed Jason’s hand tightly, her eyes were filled with apprehension.
Jason didn’t have time to worry about anyone else as he picked her up and ran out of the ward.
The atmosphere changed quickly in an instant.
Esme then said softly, “What’s with her and that doctor?”
“What else?!” Beth sneered. “Fia was always so pretty since she was little. There were plenty of boys that chased after her. I never thought there were still other people chasing after her after she’s married!”
