Chapter 85 It Was Still for Lilian


    Back before they came to Rivermount, none of those people had been able toy a finger on her. Note that they were so close, <b>how </b>could he let anything happen to her under his watch?


    With that thought, Abel stopped speaking.


    Ste <b>had </b>originally nned to take a nap, <b>but </b>then her phone kept ringing with one call after another from the studio.


    During the day, it was not appropriate <b>to </b>silence her phone.


    After answering <b>Kimmy’s </b>call, another unfamiliar number from Susan came through.


    On the phone, Susan was crying so <b>hard </b>she could hardly catch her breath. “Ste, I beg you, please, can you ask Rianne and Eddie toe to the hospital<b>?</b>”


    Ste was silent.


    Susan’s cries pierced through the phone. “It’s all my fault. Please don’t hate your sister. I wanted to teach you well, but you’re so stubborn, I… I just…”


    What was she trying to say?


    Susan stuttered, unsure how to continue as she struggled to find the right words.


    Ste spoke up, her voice cold. Tm <b>the </b>one with a bad temper? Stubborn?”


    “Ste, L” Susan could not finish. She clearly did not know what to say next, given that what she truly cared about was getting Rianne and Eddie to help Lilian.


    After everything, it was still for Lilian, and she had swallowed all her pride just for that


    Ste’s voice was sharp: “Madam Susan, ever since you found me, I’ve been at the hospital for <b>two </b>months, and I’ve barely spent a month at the Reed mansion. Within that month when I was there, you and Mr. Patrick were almost always out socializing. So, <b>how </b>did you know I <b>had </b>a bad temper and was so stubborn?”


    Each word was like a de cutting through her. Susan was left speechless.


    How did i know?


    Ste pressed further. “Do you remember the first time you came after me?”


    Susan faltered. “What… what do you mean?”


    “It was because Lilian had a cut on her wrist. Do you remember <b>what </b>she said to you?” Ste said in a calm voice.


    Susan fell silent.


    Ste continued, “She said, ‘It’s not Ste’s fault; don’t me her. And then youshed out at


    <b>Years </b>had passed, but as Ste recounted these details, Susan still remembered them <b>as </b>if it had just happened.


    The details matched perfectly, yet hearing it from Ste’s mouth, something felt off. And then, a suffocating feeling crept <b>in</b>.


    Ste’s <b>voice </b>was icy. “Did <b>you </b>see me push her?”


    <b>Susan’s </b>breath caught.


    Ste’s <b>tone </b>was sharp, colder than <b>ever</b>. “You didn’t see me push her. You didn’t even know if her injury was caused by me So why did you assume it?”


    Chapter 85 It Was Still for Lilian


    Ste’s words hit harder. “Do you remember how many times Lilian said. It’s not Ste’s fault it’s: did she say that?”


    Susan’s breathing grew heavier.


    -S.Pearls


    How many times


    Ste’s voice remained cold. You re not even sure yourself, are you? But remember this. Every time she said that, what did you do to me?”


    Her words were quiet, but they weighed heavily on Susan’s heart. What did she do? She had yelled at Ste, med her again and again, saying that she was unable to ept Lilian


    “Can we stop talking about this now? Ste, she’s in so much pain. You didn’t see her throw up after she came out of the emergency room today. She couldn’t even drink water.” Susan begged, her voice trembling


    Ste remained silent.


    “Please, just help treat her. How much do I owe you? I’ll repay you okay Every word out of Susan’s mouth dripped with a desperate plea


    She wasn’t even pretending anymore. First, she wanted me to treat Lilian, and then only well talk about the debt she owed


    Ste’s voice was biting: “Madam Susan, have you forgotten? My life is yours; how could you possibly owe me anything?


    These were the words Susan had said to her before. Back then, Susan had been so forceful, using both soft and hard tactics just for Lilian.


    A cold smile curled on Ste’s lips. “And now, you know you can’t block my path anymore, even if you cut off my financial support and make sure nopany hires me. So now, you’re begging me?”


    The phone went silent, only the sound of Susan’s increasingly desperate breathing filling the space.


    At that moment, standing at the far end of the hospital corridor, Susan felt her blood surge violently in reverse the instant she heard Ste’s words. It was an unstoppable rush that left her breathless
