Chapter 198 The Truth Unfolds
<b>What </b>struck Ethan most was how Susan had referred to her daughter as “Ste Dawson.”
<i>II </i>remembered correctly, she had always called Lillian simply “Lillian”
And Ste is her biological daughter
For the first time, Ethan noticed a distinct difference in the
way
It hit him all at once.
Susan treated Ste and Lillian.
Finished
Suddenly, Ethan understood why Ste had always been so distant from the Reed family.
Even Jason was surprised. He <b>hadn’t </b>expected Susan to ask such a question.
After all, Ste is her real daughter.
Not to mention that two years ago the <b>Reed </b>Jamily had tried to force Ste onto Mr. Keene
What kind of attitude is that?
Ethan narrowed his eyes. “Did Lillian send you?”
Thinking back to what Lillian had said on the phone, Ethan suddenly felt she was being unreasonable.
She hade <b>back </b>for treatment, and I had done everything I could. I had only been away from the hospital because of a small problem at
work.
And now Susan was here asking about it? Was she interrogating me?
<b>Susan </b>stiffened. “N–no… I just…”
Faced with Ethan’s sudden seriousness, Susan began to stammer.
“I <b>just</b>… you know… Lillian is <b>sick</b>. She’s very emotionally fragile right now. She <b>found </b><b>out </b>that you and Ste are both in <b>Pluchville </b>Hill. She doesn’t even take her medicine anymore.”
<b>“</b>What?”
Ethan’s expression darkened even more when he heard that Lillian refused to take her medication.
Susan noticed the flicker of concern in his eyes and quickly added, “You <b>know </b>how dependent she is on you. If she were doing <b>well</b>, she’d be calmer, more rational. But right now she’s facing life and death.”
Just thinking abou <b>Lillian’s </b>condition made Susan’s heart ache.
Hearing that, some of the irritation in Ethan’s eyes faded.
He immediately picked up the phone and called Lillian.
She answered quickly, her voice <b>weak</b>. “Ellian.”
“<b>Why </b>aren’t you taking your medication properly?”
His tone <b>was </b>stern, but with a hint of concerned reproach.
Hearing his tone, <b>Lillian </b>immediately began to sob.

Ste again?
It would have been better not to mention her. Hearing her name made me even more frustrated.
He patiently coaxed her. Thepany’s really busy these days. Please just take care of yourself, okay?”
The Luke family had already signed a contract with Lours,
Even my <b>own </b>father couldn’t do it. I could already see what kind of trouble the <i>Keene </i>Group was in for
I had absolutely no time to go back to the hospital now.
After a few moreforting words, he hung up.
Although Ethan’s attitude had softened, Susan could still sense it.
His patience wasn’t what it used to be.
He looked at her.
“Are you really not here because of Ste?” she asked, almost thoughtlessly, driven <b>by </b>panic.
As soon as the words left her mouth, Ethan’s face wentpletely cold.
He gave Susan a long, piercing look, then turned and walked away.
Susan instinctively tried to follow him. “Ethan, 1.
Finished
But he was <b>losing </b>patience. “Madam Susan, what <b>you </b>should really be worried about right now is the Reed Group. I heard that the Reed Group is being targeted by Sterling Global, thepany that helped Ste make hundreds of thousandsst year. What kind of connection do you think <b>she </b>has to all of this?”
Susan’s breath caught in her throat.
What kind of connection?
Patrick and Jonathan had already exined everything to me
Now that Ethan <b>had </b>put it that way, Susan felt more stifled than ever. The reason she hade to Pluchville was now clearer
than ever.
<b>Far </b>ahead, Ethan’s figure grew colder with every step.
<b>Jason’s </b>phone buzzed.
He answered, listened for a moment, <b>then </b><b>said</b>, “Got it.
He hung up <b>and </b>quickly caught up with <b>Ethan</b>.
“Mr. Keene, the heir of the Luke family, his real name is Abraham Dawson. People call <b>him </b>Mr. Abraham“
<b>Ethan </b>stopped dead in his tracks.
He turned to Jason, his eyes growing darker. “<b>Abraham </b>Dawson! Mr. <b>Abraham</b>?”
Mr. Abraham, the infamous name from Fleule.
The man who had been at Ste’s side all alone the this Mr. Abraham from Kleuter
