In her eyes, if that family had truly raised Ste well, she would’ve turned out just like Lillian–gentle and soft–spoken. Not like the way she was now; a crazy woman.
Say one word to her, and she’d fire back with ten… What made it worse was that she <b>even </b><b>got </b>physical.
Thinking that the family might’ve mistreated Ste made her, as the biological mother, feel a pang of guilt deep down.
But every time Ste made her angry, she couldn’t help but regret bringing her back.
Lillian said, “It’s okay, mom. You could spend more time with her. I’m fine.
“You’re the thoughtful one, <b>sigh</b>…”
She <b>felt </b><b>torn </b>for both of them. Over the past few days, Susan <b>had </b>been avoiding Ste; she’d <b>done </b>a lot of thinking<b>. </b>
Patrick had a point–after all, she hadn’t raised Ste herself. If she came at her all high and mighty, Ste definitely wouldn’t take it well.
Forget it. Everything could wait until Lillian’s health <b>got </b>better.
“Ah!”
Lost in thought, Susan was yanked back to reality when Lillian suddenly screamed in pain and curled up on the hospital bed, clutching her stomach.
Startled, Susan <b>rushed </b>over <b>in </b><b>a </b>panic. “Lillian, what’s wrong?<b>” </b>
“It hurts. It hurts s so bad.”
“Doctor! Doctor!” Seeing Lillian’s face turnpletely pale, Susan shouted for help, flustered.
The doctor came <b>quickly</b>, and then the whole room descended into chaos
Susan stood helplessly outside the hospital room, her heart twisting as doctors came and went. <b>Lillian’s </b>cries of pain echoed from inside<b>; </b>it was unbearable<b>. </b>
An hour passed, the two specialists who had previously spoken to Susan brought up Eddie <b>and </b>Rianne again.
“If we want to save Ms. <b>Lillian’s </b>uterus, we need Dr. Rianne back as soon as possible.”
Susan’s heart leapt to her throat. Of course, the uterus had to be saved.
Ethan’s feelings for Lillian were obvious; they were bound to end up together.
The Keene family already didn’t like Lillian much–if she couldn’t bear a child for them…
Even if Ethan adored her, things could get rocky in the future.
Thinking that, Susan almost couldn’t breathe. “Yes, <b>of </b><b>course</b>–do whatever it takes!”
No matter what, <b>that </b>uterus had to b be saved.
“Then Dr. Rianne must return as soon as possible.”
“Dr. Eddie<b>, </b>too,” one of the senior professors added.
Susan felt her chest tighten. Eddie, Rianne Why does it all have to go through Stet

<b>So </b>in the end, it alle back to Ste.
Meanwhile, on Ste’s side….
+8 Pearls
Tessa came <b>over </b>around lunchtime, saying they should eat together. But <b>really</b>, she was just there to gossip: Rivermount had been buzzing nonstop these days.
Especially with how the Keene family was reacting to Lillian, and all the things the Reed family and Ethan were doing for her.
“That Lillian really <b>is </b><b>like </b>some reincarnated saintly angel,” Tessa said.
Ste smirked. “An angel who’s <b>bound </b>to lose her <b>halo </b>real soon<b>.</b><b>” </b>
Rianne had said Lillian wasn’t faking her illness; she’d personally been involved in the diagnosis.
At first, Ste thought she was just pretending to be sick.
Tessa scoffed, “It’s karma, in and simple.”
Short life–it really was <b>karma</b>.
Ste replied. “Exactly. Anyway, what do you want for lunch?”
cool?”
Tessa said, “Let’s have some soup, co
“Nope.
If she forced herself to eat that, Abraham would nag her all night. Besides, he’d already promised to have the kitchen make it for her tonight<b>. </b>
She’d sent him a message earlier when <b>she </b>saw Tessae in, saying she’d be eating with her.
And Abraham’s reply was telling her not to have <b>any </b>soup outside.
Even through the screen<b>, </b>she could feel how firm he was being<b>. </b>
Tessa let out a hiss. “Is your brother obsessed <b>with </b>you or something? He’s so strict
“He can be even stricter.”
“Who else?”
“My sister!”
Tessa’s mouth witched. “You have a sister in that family too?”
Ste nodded. “Yep.”
She had a sister tiere–<b>Marie</b><b>. </b>
She missed her Badly.
These past few years, she had missed everyone from the Qiao family.
Always quietly watching for any news about them, never letting her guard down<b>. </b>
Tessa said, “You really had a good life with that family, huh.”
Compared to the Reed <b>family</b>–ever since they found Ste, <b>Lillian had </b>stirred up <b>so </b>much <b>trouble</b>,
