Chapter 125 All That For What?
Death–just the word alone felt <b>unbearably </b>heavy to them now. It used to be something far off, something distant. But now, it was real; it was heavy; it hurt
Because Lillian could be gone at any moment.
She was about to say something else when <b>Ethan’s </b>phone rang.
It was Madeline.
“You need toe back. Your father’s waiting for you.”
Madeline’s tone on the phone wasn’t great.
And ever since Ethan’s father, Judson, handed thepany over to him, he’d hardly ever interfered again.
Now, this was, <b>the </b>second time in just a few days that he’d asked to see him. Ethan didn’t need to guess whatever it was, it wasn’t good.
“I’m still
“Ethan, don’t make me beg. You know Lillian can’t take another hit.”
Before <b>Ethan </b>could finish, Madeline cut him off coldly over the phone.
He nced down at Lillian, who was still holding on to his sleeve, and finally relented with a sigh, “Got it.”
He hung up and looked <b>at </b><b>her</b>.
Lillian had overheard Madeline on the call. Slowly, she let go of his sleeve, bit by bit. “You should go.”
When Madeline got angry, she <b>wasn’t </b>ying around.
<b>And </b>just <b>like </b>Madeline said–Lillian’s body <b>really </b>couldn’t take any more shocks <b>right </b>now.
Meanwhile, on Ste’s end.
She received <b>a </b>message from Lillian: “Ethan said once I move into <b>Verdant </b>Vi, he’s going to rece the <b>curtains </b>in my room with sunflower–patterned ones.”
Ste replied: “Then <b>you </b>better start picking out curtains.”
What a showoff. Hah. <i>Just </i>four days left. Let’s see how Ethan wraps this up.
The heir to Rivermount’s most powerful <b>family</b>, leftpletely <b>humiliated</b>–hrious.
<b>Back </b>at the hospital. Seeing how indifferent Ste’s reply was<b>, </b>a flicker of venom crossed Lillian’s eyes.
Just as she was about to send another message, Susan walked in.
Lillian quickly deleted the <b>message </b>and handed her phone to a nearby nurse. “Thanks.”
“You’re wee.”
The nurse took the phone, gave Susan a respectful smile, <b>and </b>stepped out.
<b>Susan’s </b>smile <b>didn’t </b>waver. “Sof Everything settled with Verdant Vi?”

When Susan brought <b>up </b>Seats Cove. Lillian nodded. “Yeah. He even said when I move in, he’ll change the curtains to sunflowers,”
Susan’s smile deepened.
“He really does care about you. You need to treasure that
Hearing her words, something twinged in Lillian’s chest. Would she and Ethan really have a future together?
She hoped they would. Once her health recovered, she wouldn’t dare take things for granted anymore.
People had to cherish life, after all.
Thewyer’s been trying to <b>find </b>you these past few days. Mom, are you still hung up on Ste Lillian asked softly.
After everything that had blown up between Ste and <b>the </b>Reed family, she figured Susan would’ve been the first to sign the severance papers.
But instead, <b>she’d </b>been avoiding thewyer.
It hat did that mean! She still couldn’t let go of that brat who went against her every <b>step </b>of the way?
The mention of Ste soured Susan’s expression.
“She’s still my daughter, Lillian. Once you’re better, I’ll deal with her.”
Susan hadn’t dared to sign those papers. Deep down, she was scared she’d regret itter.
Everything she’d done to Stetely had been in the heat of the moment.
And when people act out of anger, they shouldn’t make permanent decisions.
Hearing that. Lillian’s chest tightened.
After I got better, she’d decide! What was that <b>supposed </b>to mean? That once I recovered, she nned to make it up to Steflf that was true. then what about me!
The thought made Lillian’s breathing grow uneven; her face went a shade paler.
Grear. She’d underestimated Ste, after all.
Originally, she’d wanted the Reed family themselves to be <b>the </b>ones to throw her out of Rivermount
And now, her <b>funds </b>hadn’t been cut. The studio was still running.
Lillian pondered. And now she couldn’t even be kicked out? Then what had my efforts amounted to? Had I done it all for nothing!
Susan let out a sigh “Lillian, I really am heartbroken. Can <b>you </b>believe the kind of person she turned out to be, after being raised by those people”
“If she turned out this way, doesn’t that tell you something? <b>That </b>family didn’t love her. They must not <b>have </b>loved her–how rise would <b>she </b>end up like this
Talking <b>about </b>that family <b>made </b><b>Susan </b>furious all over again.
