Chapter 936
Sally frowned as she saw the girl leave her office. Somehow, she reminded her of Britney in her youth.
“Done talking?” Barbara was waiting in front of Sally’s office. When she saw the girl walk out the door, she went up
to her and held her hand.
“Yes.”
“So, how was it?”
“Sally isn’t the way out we need.”
Hearing this, Barbara frowned, frustrated. “Then what should we do? We can’t take on that wretched pair by
ourselves!”
“It’s okay. There’s bound to be other ways.”
It was then that Barbara recalled that Fia was hospitalized here as well. So, she led the girl all the way to Fia’s
private ward. When they were at the door, Barbara said to the girl, “I’m here to see a friend.”
The girl raised her head and stared at the door, thinking about the recent events and the people involved. A flicker
of hope flashed in her eyes, “Okay. I’ll wait for you out here.”
Glancing at her, Barbara said, “You could come with me and visit her together. They’re good people. Besides…”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“No, it’s okay.” The girl abruptly interrupted her before sitting on a chair nearby.
Seeing her like this, Barbara sighed before knocking on Fia’s door.
Fia opened her eyes and glanced at Conrad, who was sitting next to her bed.
“Someone’s knocking. Why aren’t you opening the door?”
“If it’s Doctor Sally, she would come in right away. Our visitor here only knocks and does not announce who they
are. I’d say they are here with ulterior motives.”
Fia could not refute that. Conrad was quite right too because Esme loved to do that. If the visitor was Esme, Fia
would not want to meet her. After all, no one liked to see people they hated and ruined their day.
“Is no one in there?” Barbara mumbled to herself before calling Conrad.
Conrad got his phone out as soon as it rang. When he saw who it was, he immediately hung up.
Seeing this, Fia jested sarcastically, “What? You dare not receive her call in front of me?”
Conrad frowned. “It’s not her. It’s Barbara.”
“Ah, I see. If you’re not going to answer, I’ll do it for you.” Fia held out her hand to Conrad.
After Conrad handed his phone over obediently, Fia immediately answered the call, “Hello.”
Hearing Fla’s voice, Barbara hurriedly sald, “Hello, Mrs. Maxwell. I asked for your ward’s
number from the front desk and came over. But no one’s answering the door. Are you and Mr. Maxwell still in the
hospital?”
Fia was surprised to hear that Barbara had come to visit her. She glared at Conrad and pouted. Open the door.
Now!”

Hanging up the phone, Fia explained, “Madam Barbara’s the one who knocked.”
Frankly, Conrad was not in the mood to receive Barbara as a guest. Still, since it was his wife’s request, he obliged
and opened the door.
“Oh, you’re in.” Barbara smiled. “I thought you’ve been released from the hospital since no one’s answering the
door.”
Leaning against the door, Conrad looked at her coldly. “So, you’re finally back from your vacation?”
Barbara smiled bitterly at him. “Are you upset because of me, Mr. Maxwell?”
Conrad replied with a stern, low-pitch voice, “You and Fia aren’t close friends. At least, not close enough for you to
visit her.”
Hearing this, the girl in black turned and looked at the door. Sensing someone was looking at them, Conrad looked
over Barbara’s shoulder and saw the girl too.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhat a weird woman… She was clad in clothes from top to bottom. Not only that, her clothes were all black. Her
face was covered behind a mask, making it difficult to have a good look at her face.
Seeing this, Conrad asked Barbara cautiously, “Who’s that?”
“A friend.”
“Ah, a new friend you met during your vacation?” Conrad looked at Barbara straight in the eye, sensing something
awry.
“Not really. We go way back.” Barbara stood straight and blocked his view. “I’m here to visit Mrs. Maxwell. I believe
you aren’t so petty as to not even allow me to do that, right?”
Conrad opened the door wider and said, “You can tell your friend to come in too.”
Barbara turned to the girl and asked, “Wanna come in?”
The girl did not want to enter Fia’s private ward. Yet, she could sense that this man had a weird and bad temper. So
she stood up and entered the ward with Barbara. She did not want to ruin Barbara’s plan.
When they walked through the door, Conrad’s eyes were glued onto the girl in black. It was quite obvious he was
suspicious of her.
“You go out for now,” Fia raised her voice and said to Conrad.
