Chapter 137 His Guilt
Conrad wiped the tears that slowly fell down his cheeks as he watched Lillee cry silently to herself
while laying in a fetal position.
He does not have the courage to go inside to console her, so he could only watch her from outside. He
knew it was all his fault. If hadn't been so cold-hearted to her, maybe none of this would have
happened. If he had simply consoled her and not forced her to go out against her will, none of it would
have happened.
The vibration of his phone jolts him awake from his thoughts; he quickly picks up his phone upon
seeing that it was from his assistant.
"Hello." Conrad's voice came out calmly.
"CEO, we have found out the identity of the mysterious share buyer." Conrad's female assistant's tiny
voice drifted into his ears.
"Really?" Conrad's breath hurried out due to excitement. "Who is it?" He asked in delight.
"Uhm..." The assistant's voice trailed lower. "It is President Jarek of the J Empire." His assistant said
which made him freeze.
So this was related to Tinsley and Jarek? Conrad couldn't help thinking downheartedly, but he
pretended to be calm. "Okay, I'll be right there. Help me draft a letter." Conrad instructed
"I don't think that is necessary boss, you may come over, and I will explain in detail to you." His
assistant said, and he hummed before he cut off the call.
Conrad sighed and stared at Lillee's ward. After a few minutes of contemplating, he finally entered her
ward.
"Lillee, I am going to the office for something urgent, do you need me to get you something?" He asked
her gently, but she only stared into space as if she didn't notice his presence.
"My baby." She murmured which made Conrad feel as if something sharp penetrated his heart, but he
tried to steady his voice in order not to make her worried.
"I will be back soon, okay? I will fetch you some of your favorite snacks on my way. And I will make
sure I buy the low-calorie types, so you can watch your weight." He continued while hoping that would
at least pacify her.
The broken Lillee doesn't even look at his side, it was as if she did not hear him nor notice his
presence. "My baby." She uttered repeatedly.
Conrad sighed sadly and placed a kiss on her forehead before he left for work.
"CEO." Conrad's assistant was a young and beautiful decent lady in her twenties and upon seeing
Conrad arrive, she quickly helped him prepare a warm cup of coffee which she placed on his table.
"How are you doing, CEO?" The assistant asked with a worried look.
"I'm fine." Conrad sighed sadly before picking up the cup of warm coffee and slowly sipping it. "So
what..."
Before he could complete his words his assistant placed a 4-course meal on the table which made him
stare at her for explanation. "I know CEO won't have the time to eat for the past few days, so I made
this before coming to the office." She said with a smile that left him stunned. Suddenly his heart began
to beat faster.
Conrad knew that many people close to him despised Lillee for what she had done, so he prevented
visitors from visiting both of them, which included his parents.
So naturally, all the burdens fell on his shoulder. He bit back the hot sob that wanted to emit from his
lips and he began to eat.
It was a while before he was done and his assistant quietly packed the empty plates and took them
away.
"Thank you, Jane." He muttered to her with sincerity because she was the only one who cared about
him since the beginning of his incident. His parents had told him to divorce Lillee so when they heard
the news about the miscarriage, they only gave him their condolences once before ignoring the both of
them.
"It's nothing. Just what I should do, CEO." She smiled at him and winked playfully. Conrad lowered his
head and rubbed his chest faintly. He could feel the abnormal acceleration of his heartbeat.
He quickly cleared his throat and tried to suppress himself, "So what's it about the J Empire?" Conrad
knew that if the Jarek Empire didn't want them to know about them buying Norton's share, he knew
there was no way he would know so now that his assistant suddenly knew the identity left him stunned.
"The J empire reached out to us." His assistant replied and handed him her laptop. She stood behind
him to show him the letter that was sent to him.
