On the other end of the line. Steughed coldly when Susan did not reply. You want to make up for what you did? If Lilian really gets better. then that’s when you’lle to settle the score with me, right?”
She knew these people all too well. After all, it was not the first time they had tried to make her responsible for everything concerning Lilian
Lilian certainly had some skills. Even while abroad, these people would stille after her because of Lilian
It always came back to the same phrase. It’s not Ste’s fault: it’s my fault” What did she mean by it’s not Ste’s fault? As if it was just her fault.
But as long as she said it, these people would always assume it was Ste who could not ept Lilian, and they woulde
after her.
Susan became frantic. “No, no, I’m truly apologizing now.”
Ste’s voice was cutting: “What do you mean? What you did for <b>Lilian </b>was always sincere, right?”
Susan froze. When she heard Ste’s words, she became even more anxious.
She hadpletely forgotten about the maniptive remarks Ste had made carlier. All she remembered now was that- Ste still refused to agree.
She refused to let Rianne and Eddie treat Lilian.
Then what do you want?” Susan’s voice began to break, a sense of panic creeping in.
Ste’s voice was emotionless: “She died her own death, and I live my life. What can I do to her?”
Then, she hung up the phone, leaving Susan to feel the weight of her coldness.
Ste, now thoroughly frustrated, was about to leave <b>the </b>room when a knock came at the door. “Come in.”
The door opened, and Abraham stepped in, his tall, refined figure filling the doorway. He was already dressed in his coat, obviously preparing to go out.
“You didn’t take a nap!” he asked, furrowing his brow.
Ste nodded v
“Are you going out?” she asked, curious.
Abraham gave a small nod. “I need to step out for a
a bit. I should be back in time for dinner. Be good and take a nap.
When Ste heard he would be back for dinner, her mood lightened instantly, shaking off the frustration from the phone
call
It didn’t matter. Those people weren’t important. Why should I be upset over them?
With that thought, she felt much better.
Abraham talked to her a bit more before leaving

So every time she saw Lilian in unbearable agony, Susan only grew more determined to bring Rianne and Eddie into her treatment n
Ethan sighed, a bit helpless. “I know.”
Given all her conditions, how could she not be in pain? She was undoubtedly suffering.
Susan’s worry did not subside. “We need to get Eddie <b>and </b>Rianne to treat her. I’m really worried she won’t make it through.”
She was terrified <b>that </b><b>Lilian </b>would not survive the pain.
Ethan replied, “If they join, their treatments <b>would </b>likely be simr.”
He did not see why Lilian should be free of all pain at this point. The reality was <b>that </b>her condition was already critical.
Susan shook her head. “No, they’re <b>more </b>skilled; their reputations are excellent. They’ll ease her pain for sure. Ethan, please, you <b>have </b>to find a way. Ste’s heartless. No matter what I say, she won’t agree.”
Her frustration was palpable.
When Ethan heard the mention of Ste, his gaze darkened. He did not respond immediately, but as Susan continued to speak, he tuned out her words.
