Chapter 909
“I understand.” Fia smiled sweetly. She closed her eyes despite the pain, waiting for sweet slumber to embrace her.
She had woken up because of the pain from her wound. She wondered if she would wake up again later tonight
because of it.
However, she didn’t tell Conrad about it because she didn’t want him to worry about her when he was already
upset.
The next day.
The sky had just slightly brightened when Conrad left. Before he left, he ordered Sophia to keep a close eye on Fia
and to call him if anything happened.
Sophia sat outside the door, leaving a small gap. She would peek in from time to time dutifully. After half an hour,
the hospital director came.

Sophia glared at the director warily. “What’s this about?”
The director smiled and said, “I’m worried about Mrs. Maxwell’s injury, so I want to go in and take a look.”
Sophia snapped at him, “No. You’re not Madam’s attending doctor!”
The director said, “But I’m this hospital’s director!”
Sophia gave him a hostile look and said, “No, even if you’re the director! Not to mention that my boss owns this
hospital now!”
The director felt a prick in his heart. Not only was Conrad hard to deal with, but so was his staff.
“Leave now!” Sophia said in disdain.
The director scratched his head. “Well, it’s like this. Isn’t your boss suspected of sending someone to hurt Jason?
He’s also in our hospital right now and he wishes to talk to your madam.”
“About what?” Sophia looked at him, on high alert. “There’s nothing that our madam wishes to talk to him about!”
“Why don’t you go in and ask her? When Jason was still a doctor in our hospital, he helped her a lot. She wouldn’t
disagree with seeing him.” The director clapped his hand together and begged Sophia. “You don’t want anything to
happen to your boss, right? All Jason needs to do is to say that his injury has nothing to do with your boss. That will
also be better for your madam!”
Sophia’s weakness had been exposed. She really didn’t want to see Fia get injured again!
“Well, what do you say, lass?” the director asked weakly.
Sophia said to him, “Don’t call me lass. I’m in my twenties now… You make it sound like I haven’t come of age yet.”
The doctor smiled awkwardly. What was he supposed to call young men and women like them when he was so old
already?
“Wait here. I’ll go see if my madam is awake,” Sophia said and went into the ward. She was
still thinking if she should wake Fia up, but she saw that she was already staring at the ceiling with her eyes wide
open, thinking about something.

Fia’s eyes looked at her and asked, “Where’s Conrad?”
“Sir has gone back to work. He said he’ll be back by noon to have lunch with you,” Sophia replied.
“I see.” Fia turned around and looked out the window. “What time is it now?”
Sophia looked at the time. “It’s not even seven yet.”
“It’s quite early… There’s still some time before noon,” Fia said faintly.
Sophia gave it a thought and said, “Why don’t you have a little more sleep? I can buy you some breakfast first, and
you can sleep after that?”
The director outside couldn’t wait anymore, so he faked a cough.
That caught Fia’s attention and she asked, “Who’s outside?”
“Just an old man!” Sophia said in annoyance. He wasn’t someone that could stand still, was he?!
“Is he here looking for me?” Fia asked.
Sophia’s lips were sealed tightly as she hadn’t figured out how to tell her anything.
Fia then said, “He came here as soon as Conrad’s away… Who else is he looking for if not me?”
Sophia sighed and said, “Seems like Mr. Jason Evans dragged him into this. He said that he wants to see you… Do
you want to see him?”
