Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 864

Stella said, "Nothing. I just want him to know that I'm safe at Sherry's house, and my phone isn't working."

"Okay, I'll pass it on to Mr. Conrad." Nathan paused before speaking over the phone, "Mrs. Conrad, Mr. Conrad has a meeting tonight, and he won't be home till late. So, you should rest early without him."

In the hospital.

Nathan walked over and handed the phone back to Clarence, "Mrs. Conrad seemed good."

Clarence gave a short, low reply and put the phone back in his pocket.

The blinding flash of light in the emergency room shone through a few feet away.

Chassell had been in there for several hours, and the surgery was not over yet.

Clarence turned his head and asked lightly, "How is the case going?"

"Winnie has filed a lawsuit against Chassell this afternoon. The cops have abundant proof of Chassell's violation against Winnie." Nathan said, "And Mr. Shawn said vital evidence had been lost. It is barely possible to win the case unless there are any new developments."

"What about Channing?"

Nathan continued, "The crowd of journalists had dismissed half an hour ago, and Channing temporarily stayed in the police department."

Clarence ordered, "Dig out how Chassell was released on bail. Don't let any suspects slip under your eyes."

Nathan replied to him, "I've settled it all with the City N Press's journalist. She agreed to put the New Coast project on air. But Mr. Conrad … it can help Young Master Justin. I'm afraid that we will end up with nothing."

…

Clarence stayed composed. "I don't care. I've prepared for the battle since long ago."

"Then … how about Mrs. Conrad?"

After a while, Clarence said, "I'll send her to Riverside City tomorrow morning."

Nathan said concernedly, "But I'm afraid that Mrs. Conrad will get suspicious."

"How long do you think we can lie to her? Stella is smart. I guess we have done our best if we can hide the truth until tomorrow morning."

Nathan fell into silence.

In today's network era, news traveled fast. It was hard to sweep things under the rug.

Clarence gave a cold, curt reply and drifted his gaze to the emergency room. "As long as Chassell can survive tonight, everything will be much easier."

Nathan gave a simple nod. "I'm going to arrange the other things first."

Clarence sat on the chair in the corridor. His expression was distant, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Winnie arrived.

Daniel came a little later than Winnie.

None of them would expect to see this happen. They were gathering outside the emergency room because of a scumbag, praying for his safety.

At half-past ten, the lights in the emergency room finally went off.

The doctor took off his mask and came out, looking at the few people waiting outside with gloomy faces. After a pause, he said, "Are you family members of the patient?"

Winnie said, "We hate him."

The doctor was struck dumb.

Clarence asked, "Is he still alive?"

The doctor said with a nod, "The patient is out of the woods now, but he was in serious condition: broken ribs and damaged internal organs. He is held in the intensive care unit. If he can survive within 72 hours, then he will be fine. So, the following 72 hours are critical, and you'd better stay with him, talk to him. That will help awaken the unconscious brain and speed the recovery."

There was a long silence.

Winnie felt it a little ridiculous. She hated Chassell and wished him dead. But now, Winnie had to help him to stay alive.
