Chapter 231 No Mercy Left
Ste red at him, cheeks puffed, her eyes still shimmering with a <b>few </b>stubborn tears.
Abraham cupped her small chin and kissed her still slightly feverish lips.
“What should I do <b>with </b>you, Ste, when you’re this silly?” he murmured.
“Hmph!” Ste huffed.
“Who says <b>I’m </b>silly? I lived just fine without you these past three years! Last year I even made seven million.”
Who calls someone who makes millions a year stupid? I’d like a whole stack of idiots like that.
<b>Hearing </b>her say “seven million,” a deep, amused light shed in Abraham’s eyes.
“Alright, my Ste isn’t silly,” he said softly.
Just adorably foolish.
Ste sniffed. “I can’t walk.”
When she tried to get out of bed earlier, the pain from her injury was excruciating. She <b>could </b>barely move now.
Without a <b>word</b>, Abraham scooped her into his arms.
Ste looked up at his sharp jawline, her heart thudding uncontrobly.
Even now, it still felt like a <b>dream </bst night felt like an unpossible dreame true.
She had fantasized about this so many times, always believing it could never happen.
Yet somehow, it had.
And judging by Abraham’s attitude, he didn’t seem to reject the change between them at all.
Downstairs
Abel <b>was </b>already waiting.
When he saw <b>Abraham </b>carrying Ste <b>down </b>the stairs, he immediately stood and bowed slightly. “Abraham”
“Back to Verdant Vi,” Abraham instructed.
Seeing Ste curled up in <b>his </b>arms, Abel could pretty much guess what had happened the night before.
After all, he had been ordered to “get lost, <b>and </b>Eddie <b>had </b>been <b>sighing </b>all night <b>while </b>sending people to buy medicine.
<b>After </b>years of restraint, it had finally exploded.
Hearing that Abraham was taking Ste <b>home</b>, Abel hesitated and stepped forward. “Patrick’s outside.”
Abraham was speechless.
Ste was speechless.
<b>The </b>two of them exchanged a nce.
Ste looked at Abel. “He’s standing outside?”
Seriously….he hasn’t frozen to death yet? Ste thought.
Abraham lowered his head to look at her. “Dors Ste want to see him?”
Abel added, “He’s here to see you.”
Abraham’s frown deepened.
The irritation in his eyes was clear.
He said coldly. “Not seeing <b>him</b>.”
Exactly the answer Abel expected.
After everything the Reed family had done to Ste, there was no chance Abraham would show them any mercy.
Especially after what happened with the car ident – Abraham would <b>make </b>sure they suffered.
And right now, they were like fish being fried alive in hot oil.
Without even ncing toward the door, Abraham carried Ste straight outside.
Patrick, realizing he couldn’t get through Abel, had been waiting in the freezing cold.
The snow <b>and </b>wind whipped across his face like knives.
Patrick had <b>no </b>idea how long he would have to wait but he knew he had to see Abraham and Ste today, no matter what.
Just when he was starting to lose feeling in his legs from the cold the front door finally opened.
He saw <b>Abraham </b>carrying Ste outside.
She was bundled up in a creamy white down jacket, her head tucked into a thick hood.
In Abraham’s arms, she looked tiny almost like a little girl
Seeing Ste like that. Patrick didn’t think much of it.
Rubbing his frozen hands, he instinctively tried to move forward.
Only to realize that his legs were so numb he almost copsed into the snow.
“Mr. Abraham, Ste!” <b>Patrick </b>called out urgently, barely keeping his bnce as he staggered toward them – but the bodyguards immediately stopped him.
Patrick’s heart nearly jumped out of <b>his </b>chest.
“Ste, Ste!”
Seeing <b>Abraham’s </b>icy face, Patrick quickly turned his desperate gaze to Ste instead.
But Ste’s face remained buried firmly against Abraham’s chest, ignoring himpletely.
“Mr. Abraham, we need to talk! And Ste- you’ve misunderstood your parents! Tell us what you <b>want </b>we’ll do anything!”
Patrick’s voice cracked with desperation.
Danned Susan, he cursed silently. Adhways stirring up trouble!
Especially now, when Ste wouldn’t even give him a nce – Patrick’s hatred toward Susan reached new heights.
The moment their eyes met, Patrick instinctively swallowed hard.
