Chapter 195 The Treatment
The Luke family, <b>what </b>kind of family was that?
If Ste could even cozy up to the Luke family, then her rtionship to Sterling Global didn’t seem surprising at all.
Just as Ethan turned around, his phone buzzed <b>again</b><b>, </b><b>and </b>this time it was a message from Judson<b>: </b>“Try to fight for the <b>chance </b>for the alliance with the Luke family again.”
He didn’t even bother to call.
That just showed how frustrated Judson was.
After all, in Rivermount, it was rare for something to be so difficult that even his direct involvement couldn’t make it <b>right</b>.
But this time, it was tricky.
When Ethan looked at the message, he was feeling just <b>as </b>irritated. Then he replied in simple words: “Got it.”
Judson then texted: “The losses this time <b>are </b>enormous. If we <b>can’t </b><b>rece </b><b>it </b>in time…”
Judson didn’t finish the sentence, maybe because he didn’t know how to describe how severe the consequences would be
But Ethan understood well as he sent a short reply: “Understood.<b>” </b>
Understanding it was one thing, but <b>dealing </b>with it was a real headache.
At the hospital
When Lillian saw <b>Ethan </b>replying with a single yes, it felt like all the vigor had drained out of her.
If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn’t have believed that Ethan would reply to her like this.
Lillian thought, Isn’t this what was promised before? What is this?Why? Why is this happening?
She took several deep breaths <b>and </b>called Ethan, but the call was cut off after just one <b>ring</b>.
Lillian couldn’t describe <b>how </b>torturous it <b>was </b>from his attitude.
<b>She </b>thought. And for Ste… Had she known something from the beginning? That damn Ste!
The more Lillian <b>thought </b>about it, the more she was enraged.
At the medical room in Pluchville Hill.
“It hurts! Be gentle, would you?” Ste screamed <b>in </b><b>panic</b>.
At <b>this </b>moment, Abraham was right beside her.
Seeing her so tertied, Eddie’s lips curled into a <b>faint </b>smule <b>as </b>he <b>said</b>, “I haven’t even inserted the needle yet”
Ste was shocked as she thought, Not yet? Mirit a second<b>, </b><b>what </b><b>was </b>Eddie doing? That <b>needle </b>had already touched my knee!
She peeked out and looked at Faddie. Sure enough, he hadn’t even inserted it yet, and the needle was still in his hand.
Eddie was left speechless.
He then said, “I haven’t even started. What exactly is hurting? You’d better exin it clearly to your brother in not taking the me for this

Ste was speechless too. “If <b>you </b>weren’t going to insert it in me, why were you pointing the needle tip at my knee<b>?</b>”
Eddie replied, “I had to find the right spot to insert it to see which spot would give a better effect.”
Ste: “Then look for it! Don’t point <b>the </b>needle at mel
Finished
She was already scared of needles, let alone seeing somebody waving a needle in front of her <b>knee</b>. How could she not freak
<b>out </b>
Eddie then <b>said</b>, “Found it, found it. Don’t scream. It won’t hurt.”
Ste screamed aloud.
Eddie was left speechless as he thought, Is it really that painful? Is it reallythat scary?
Abraham said, “Alright, stop the screaming. It’s done already.”
Ste was puzzled as she thought, Done? Ihadn’t even felt the pain yet.
She looked at Eddie, and he was already holding the second needle. This was exactly why she never wanted a treatment.
<b>one </b>shot. It made two only if <b>the </b>blood draw was counted.
A drip, at least, was just
But this? Countless needles were being inserted into the body.
Although Ste didn’t feel anything from the needle that had just been inserted into her earlier, she couldn’t help but feel terrified.
Abrahamforted <b>her </b>and said, “Don’t be scared. Close your eyes, as his warm<b>, </b><b>steady </b>palm covered her eyes. He then <b>tilted </b>her head gently and pressed it into his chest.
Ste’s muffled voice came from inside <b>Abraham’s </b>arms. She asked, “Abraham, isn’t there a second option? Pills, I can <b>take </b>pilis instead
She didn’t want the needles. She <b>was </b>seriously scared.
Abraham: “We’re almost done. Eddie <b>has </b>already put in a bunch.
He meant it tofort her, but hearing his words<b>, </b>she was <b>so </b>scared that she trembled.
Eddie warned. ‘Don’t move“”
by bold
He thought. The usually bold Stewasn’t even afraid to have a fight with men. But notor
Just then, Abel walked <b>in </b><b>and </b>said, “Mr. <b>Abraham</b>”
“Did they sign“” Abraham asked.
Abel replied, “Yes, everything’s signed”
Louis turned out to be a pretty straightforward partner. If something <b>was </b>wrong, he fixed it right away
Ste looked at Abraham and asked, “What did <b>Ethan </b>say when you met earlier?”
She hadn’t gone <b>to </b>watch the drama unfold, but she was eager to know just how spectacrly Ethan had messed up
