At the same time...
In the hospital...
Clarence woke up at half past seven and looked around.
Only Dolores and Nathan were in the ward, and Stella was not here.
Nathan walked over, âMr. Conrad, how do you feel?â
Clarence said in a calm yet husky voice, âIâm fine.â
Nathan helped him lift the bed and said, âI will ask the doctor to come over.â
After Nathanâs leaving, Dolores walked over and sat on the sofa beside the bed, âStella took away the baby.â
Clarence was not surprised by it and replied with a nasal sound.
Dolores heaved a light sigh and asked, âWhat do you plan to do next?â
âLetâs talk about it later.â
He was now hospitalized and couldnât do anything.
Clarence paused and then asked, âDid she or the baby get hurt?â
âThe baby was startled, but it was not a big problem. But as for Stella... I think she might have a serious mental problem. I heard from Nathan that the babysitter arranged by Joanna would have smothered the baby if Stella didnât show up in time.â
Clarence gently closed his eyes, âItâs my negligence.â
He knew why Dempsey wanted to keep the baby, so he never thought of the possibility that someone would hurt the child.
Moreover, they attempted to kill the child in front of him.
When rethinking this matter, Clarence figured out that Joanna had prepared to die at that time.
This was the reason why she had no scruples.
Dolores continued, âItâs the best situation that the child is all right. As for other matters... You will have to live in the hospital for several days, and it can give Stella some time to calm down herself.â
Clarence said in a husky voice, âShe will probably not forgive me.â
He could still remember what Stella said to him before and he knew deep down about her personality.
Originally, he planned to tell Stella about the truth after saving the child from Conradâs Mansion. At least he could have a glimmer of a chance to justify for himself in this case. How could he know that things would progress out of his anticipation?
Dolores said, âI canât help you in this matter. Good luck to you.â
Nathan walked into the ward with a doctor after a while.
After examining Clarenceâs condition, the doctor couldnât help but criticize, âYouâre so audacious that you delayed it for long after being shot. If you came to the hospital several minutes later, your arm would be crippled.â
Clarence replied, âMaybe itâs because I have good luck.â
âThatâs true.â
Dolores said, âI will go out to buy breakfast for you.â
After the doctor and Dolores left the ward, Clarence asked, âWhatâs the condition outside?â
Nathan replied, âMaster Conrad has woken up, but his condition is not good. He can only roll his eyes. The doctor said he suffered a cerebral infarction due to the stimulation and he could only be paralyzed on the bed for the rest of his life.â
Clarence didnât have any reaction and simply asked in a calm voice, âWhatâs the condition in the Conradâs Mansion?â
âIt rained for the whole night and Joannaâs corpse was only carried away this morning.â Nathan continued, âThe news of the accident last night was suppressed and it didnât spread out.â
âSend some men to keep an eye on the Conrads. Joannaâs suicide was not an impulsive action. She had been planning for it.â Clarence said in a cold voice, âNow that she could even sacrifice her life, it means there is a bigger conspiracy behind this. Keep an eye on all the people in the Conrad family, including those maids, servants, drivers and security guards. Donât miss anyone. Investigate it right away if anyone contact with a stranger.â
âOkay.â Nathan then asked, âThen... What about Young Master Justin?â
Clarence pressed his thin lips together. After a while of silence, he instructed, âLet our men follow him. Itâs inconvenient for him to go anywhere. Give him a hand if he has any problems, but remember, donât let him find them.â
âOkay.â
Before leaving, Nathan suddenly thought of something and reported, âBy the way, Mr. Conrad, Stella came to see you before.â
Clarence paused and then asked, âWhen?â
âAbout two or three oâclock. But she didnât stay for long and left soon.â
Clarenceâs hands which were placed on the quilt were slightly clenched into fists, âWhat did she say?â
âShe satirized me.â Nathan replied, âMs. Radomil compared me to a clay idol fording a river and asked me not to involve in your affairs.â
Clarence was rendered speechless.
Nathan said in a low voice, âMr. Conrad, Ms. Radomil also blames me for this matter. Iâm afraid that you...â
Clarence shot a cold glance at him and Nathan immediately left the ward.
Short after Nathanâs leaving, Vincent walked into the ward.
Looking at Clarence, he clicked his tongue, âYouâre so valiant. You almost lost your arm.â
Clarence closed his eyes, not wanting to give him a reply.
Vincent continued, âIâve found out the details. Amanda managed to escape from Conradâs Mansion that night, but she bumped into Logan and was then taken back. Dempsey didnât believe in Logan and required him to kill Amanda. But he didnât expect that Amandaâs corpse would be found under the bridge the next morning and that the police would find out the murderer soon. If my guess is right, it shall be Logan who told Stella that the baby was in the Conradâs Mansion.â
Clarence opened his eyes after several seconds and asked, âWhere is Logan?â
âAmanda bit his hand before and they found Loganâs skin tissue in her teeth. The evidence is irrefutable and this case will come to trial soon.â
Clarence asked, âDonât you feel it weird?â
Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again ï¤Chapter 568: You Can Hardly Able to Save Yourself Vincent nodded his head, âItâs indeed weird. If Dempsey required Logan to kill Amanda personally because he didnât trust him, now that Logan had followed his order, it meant he had temporarily made clear of his standpoint. Under that condition, he would not report the secret to you. Even if Dempsey wanted to go back on his words, he wouldnât choose that point because if Logan was caught by the police, he would try his best to get Dempsey involved to save himself. Dempsey wouldnât seek troubles for himself.â
Clarence said, âAmandaâs corpse was not revealed by Dempseyâs men.â
Vincent knitted his brows, âDo you mean that thereâs a person behind this?â
âI have to guard against Joanna because of her death. Although we have gotten rid of her men, we still donât know who has been backing up Joanna so far.â
âEr... Even if someone was backing up Joanna, how could she do that in Dempseyâs territory? What benefits could she get from this if Dempsey heard about Amandaâs death before we came to the Conradâs Mansion?â
âThis is the ingenious point of this plot. Itâs interlocking and every part was just appropriate.â Clarence continued, âMoreover, Joanna was resolute to die last night. She tried to anger me and stimulated me to kill her, but she didnât expect that I was not trapped. So she chose to commit suicide in the end.â
Vincent suddenly felt his hair standing up, âWhat the heck did she want to do?â
Clarence sneered, âShe wanted to plant a seed of hatred in my heart and Justinâs heart. As long as she dies, I and Justin would not be as intimate as we were before.â
âSo Justin was also a part of her plot. But wasnât she afraid that you would get rid of Justin to prevent possible risks?â
âJoanna knows this aspect of me better than you do.â
Vincent was stunned and then he quickly figured it out.
Joanna probably was sure that Clarence would not kill Justin no matter what happened. Therefore, she planned this plot without any scruples.
