Chapter 280
Conrad knew what Jason wanted to do. Normally, he would be more than happy to oblige.
But there was nothing more important to him now than to visit Fla.
“Which ward is Fia in?”
Sally quickly told them and said to Eileen, “Go with him, Ms. Reid.”
“Sure.” Eileen thankfully looked at Jason and Sally before chasing after Conrad to visit Fia.
Outside the ICU ward, they could see Fia lying inside behind a heavy glass window pane, wearing an oxygen mask with tube after tube connected to her body.
Eileen’s tears couldn’t stop as she placed both her hands on the window, as if she could touch her and console her.
“Conrad Maxwell… That is how the person that you protected harmed her.”
Conrad tightened his fists as his veins popped. She was still alright yesterday, but she was lying in the ICU ward today.
“I didn’t protect Esme. I didn’t want Fia to go through all of this too. If I had known something like this would happen, I would have picked her up earlier.”
“You think this is all a coincidence?” Eileen said with hate on her face. “This is all according to Esme’s plans. She would hurt herself first, send Fia into the station, and then… The car accident!”

Conrad frowned and looked at Eileen coldly. “Don’t make things up if you don’t have any evidence.”
“You’re still protecting her even now?!”
“I’m not protecting her! When I got there, I saw how they were beating Esme up! If I was one step late, no one would know what happened next!”
When Conrad remembered how Fia acknowledged that she gave them the money, it didn’t matter why she did that. It was already enough for her to bear a portion of that responsibility.
Not to mention that they testified that Fia gave them the money to beat Esme to death.
“The reason I got engaged with Esme was so that the Mannings would stop pursuing this! I didn’t want to betray her!‘
“You didn’t want to know the truth?” Eileen looked at Conrad, disappointed.
“The truth doesn’t matter anymore as long as this can be solved!”
“Fia doesn’t think about it that way. You think that you’re doing everything for her own good. But what you did was simply hurt her and tarnish her character.”
Conrad didn’t want to continue the fight. “I need to go and do something. I’ll send someone to watch over the hospital.”
“No thanks!” Eileen said with a cool expression. “Without you, we can take better care of her!”
“I’ll come later.”

After Conrad left the hospital, he went to the traffic department to find the footage of when the accident happened.
When he saw the truck ram into the car Fia was in, he left in fury.
He would not simply let this be!
The truck driver wasn’t injured that heavily. He suffered some injury on the head and had a shock. He would think of things as he lay in the hospital bed.
Bang!
The door was kicked open.

The man was wearing a black suit and a darkness covered his handsome face. He walked over without saying a word and placed the tip of the baseball bat in his hand under his chin.
“Who… Who are you? What do you want?”
“Be honest with me. Why did your truck crash into that car!”
There was nervousness in the old driver’s eyes.
“I don’t know what happened! My truck suddenly lost control.”
When he heard the approaching footsteps behind him, Conrad said coldly, “Check if his truck lost control.”
Silas quietly nodded and said, “We did the investigation. It didn’t go through its yearly check, so it did have some problems.”
However, sensing the terror from Conrad’s eyes, he didn’t believe him at all.
He raised his baseball bat and then swung it down with power.
“Ah! Don’t kill me…!” The old driver screamed. He could hear a giant thump from the spot just next to his
ear. He almost fainted.
He blinked and realized that he felt no pain. He was somewhat confused.
Conrad’s baseball hit the wall right next to his bed. A large spot had a huge dent.
“If you don’t want your family to get hurt, you better explain everything!”
