Chapter 1023
“Here! Have some water and clear your head. I have some business to talk with you about.”
Conrad nodded before drinking the water. He did not want Fia to find out that he had been drinking at noon and
upset her.
After using her new connections to switch off the hospital’s surveillance camera, Esme snuck into her mother’s
private ward.
“Mom? Mom?”
Hearing a familiar voice, Beth opened her eyes in surprise.
“Oh, Esme! You’ve finally come to see me.”
Esme caressed her mother’s forehead with a smile. “Does it still hurt?”
“Not anymore.”
“I’m so sorry. It must have been difficult pretending to be in a coma.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBeth shook her head and said, “No, not at all. I’ll do anything as long as you’re doing well. I’m sorry, Esme. I was so
strict on you back then. I don’t wish for anything else. I just want you to live healthily and happily.”
Tears welled up in Esme’s eyes as she held Beth’s hand.
“Are the doctors and nurses treating you well?”
“Oh, they’re really good to me.” A scowl appeared on Beth’s face as she said, “If it weren’t for Fia, you and I would
never have to live like this.”
Esme let out a sigh and said, “Yeah. If she did not steal Conrad from me, I would have never ended up like this.”
Hearing this, Beth tightened her grip on Esme’s hand and said excitedly, “It’s very likely that Conrad still loves you!
If not, he would not have ordered the hospital to take such good care of me. If you approach him patiently, there’s
always a chance to get back together with him!”
“I 11
Esme gave a bitter smile at her mother, not wanting to tell her the truth.
She was no idiot. So, she knew what Conrad had in mind. Hehad asked the hospital to take care of her mother
because Fia would be held legally responsible if she died.
“Mom, are you willing to do anything for me?”
Beth nodded without hesitation. “Of course!”
“Then… I will find a way to bring her to see you. You must find a way to provoke her and make her hurt you,” Esme
said sternly.
Beth was stunned upon hearing that. She knew that she was now mentally ill. She had found her mind to be
plagued with horrible, irrational thoughts many times. Sometimes, she would not be able to tell the nurses apart.
Even now, when she tried to recall her days with her husband in the countryside, her memories were all fuzzy. The
more she tried to recall them, the more her head hurt.
“Mom, please help me. The public doesn’t believe that Fia was responsible for that time when you hit your head.
Not only that, that wench Barbara is on their side, defending them at every turn. If we want to make Fia pay, we
must up the stakes and make her hurt you. And we need to have witnesses this time!” Esme said.
Beth recalled how her little sister pleaded with her to take care of Fia before she died. Yet, it was Fia who took

Yes, she was Esme’s mother! She had to think for her daughter!
“Sure, I’ll help you.”
Letting out a sigh of relief, Esme embraced her mother and said, “Mom, after everything is settled, I’ll find a way to
get you out of the hospital. I’ll take care of you myself.”
“No, you can’t.” Beth pushed Esme away and said to her solemnly, “You’re not Esme Manning anymore. So, don’t
do anything that will make people doubt you. You must stay away from me and your father!”
“J
Esme stared at Beth with teary eyes. She had always blamed her parents for being too strict with her when she was
growing up. Yet now, she finally knew that the people who treated her the best were her parents.
However, right now, her parents could not be with her anymore. And they could not give her what she wanted
either.
Now, if there was anything she wanted, she had to fight for it herself!
So… to do so, she had no choice but to let her parents go.
