Chapter 237 Storm Iing


    “Last night, Abel went to see the driver who caused your car ident two, Abraham <b>said </b>casually. “What was <b>said </b>between them, I don’t know”


    Ste snorted inwardly.


    Yeah, like hell he doesn’t kno


    Abraham raised an eyebrow. What’s wrong? Feeling soft–hearted toward her?”


    Do I look weak to you? Ste rolled her eyes.


    As if The only ones who could ever stir her heart were the Dawson family. As for the rest no one had ever gotten close.


    Abraham chuckled.


    Ste shifted on the bed. “Now that she’s desperate, she’s probably going to try leaving the country for treatment, right?”


    “She can’t Abraham said lightly.


    Ste’s eyes widened in shock.


    His face <b>was </b>as warm and calm as ever- but the words he spoke were enough <b>to </bpletely cut off someone’s escape.


    “You’re really nning to trap her alive?”


    In Rivermount, without any hospital willing to admit her, Lilian would have nowhere left to turn.


    And if she realized she couldn’t even leave Rivermount?


    She’d probably breakpletely.


    Abraham stayed with Ste for a long while before finally getting up to leave.


    Before he went, he made sure to feed her <b>some </b>more


    ore medicine.


    Ste had just curled up under the covers again when her phone buzzed.


    She nced at the caller ID- her heart jumped and she immediately pressed “Answer, holding the phone to her ear.


    “Mare” she whispered.


    The moment the word left her mouth, a familiar voice roared from the other end.


    “Three hours. Come <b>pick </b>me up at the airport.


    Ste nearly dropped the phone


    “You—you’re <bing </b>to <b>Rivermount</b>?”


    If Marie <b>saw </b>her injuries right now, how was she going <b>to </b>exin? Say she got bitten by bugs? <b>Fell </b>down?


    Marie’s voice was full of rage. “Dead girl! Let’s see how I deal with you this time. You little <b>brat</b>, you’re really good at running, huh? Your brother already found you and you’re still ying hide–and–seek with me?”


    Just thinking about it made Marie’s blood pressure skyrocket.


    Chapter 237 Storm ting


    Hearing the threat in her voice, Ste shrank under the nkets, “Where are you now?”


    If she’s three hours away she must already be out of Fieule?


    Ste broke <b>into </b>a cold sweat. She’s seriouslying! The demon queen is on her way!


    Marie’s snort crackled through the line. “What, thinking of warning Abraham? You even think about ratting me out and I’l break your legs.”


    Ste whimpered silently.


    Marie barked, “Three hours. I want to see you the moment Ind.”


    The way she threatened it was exactly the same as when Abrahamn had first shown up in Rivermount.


    No wonder–born from the same blood, after all. They even threatened people the same way.


    Ste rolled around in bed, miserable. Wait – you really already left Fleule?”


    Marie “hmph’ed. “Trying to warn him? Better pray I don’t catch you.”


    If Marie could crawl through the phone and smack her, she would.


    –


    Three years ago, Ste had run so fast she might as well have been training for the Olympics then gonepletely off- grid


    Ste could only whisper pitifully, “I wouldn’t dare.”


    Ahhh, so scary.


    –


    Marie snorted. “You better not. Just wait, I’ll teach you a lesson. Running so far why didn’t you justunch yourself into outer space?”


    “If you’d starved to death out there, maybe you’d have learned your lesson.”


    Ste was speechless.


    “Three hours. Don’t bete.”


    With a final barrage of scolding, Marie hung up.


    In her mind, Ste <b>was </b>still the soft, clumsy little girl she had grown up with the one who needed protecting.


    During those years when they couldn’t find her, Marie had truly worried that something terrible had happened.


    Listening to the disconnected beeping of the call, Ste gritted her teeth and dragged herself out of bed, wincing at the <b>pain</b>.


    There’s no way I’m not telling Abraham.


    If Marie showed up and saw her like this, she was doomed.


    Ste quickly threw on a <b>coat </b>and padded out of the <b>room</b>.


    She checked the study first no sign of <b>him</b>.


    Then the living <b>room </b>still no sign.


    Finally, a housekeeper spotted her and approached respectfully. “Ms. Ste”


    Hait there’s a billiards room here?


    They had only just moved in recently. She hadn’t even had time to explore properly yet.
