Chapter 236 No Pity for the Guilty
Ste muttered, “What, you trying to get out of paying?”
When <b>Abraham </b>walked in, he saw her lying on the bed, hugging a fruit tter and nibbling on oranges.
He had ordered the fruits for her.
He’d once overheard a doctor say that eating fruits high in vitamin C helped recovery from fevers.
Seeing Abraham enter, Ste was about to hang up the call.
But then, Ln’s desperate voice came <b>through </b>the phone: “Ste, it was my fault before. I’m sorry. Please, please let me go.”
Ste paused
What thist
Seriously trying to weasel out of paying?” she saidzily.
Lilian really is something–willing topletely throw away her pride just to avoid coughing up the money. Pathetic
Ste had no interest in dragging it out. She was about to hang up after getting onest jab in-
“Ste, I really know I was wrong Lilian <b>sobbed</b>. “I’ll give you back Dad and <b>Mom</b>. I’ll <b>leave </b>the Reed family. Please… just don’t mess with the hospitals anymore, Please.”
Hearing that, Ste almostughed out loud.
“You can keep them,” she said coolly. Those disasters are better off staying with <b>you</b>.”
With that, she ended the call without hesitation.
What did Lilian think–that everyone else treasured those people like she did?
Please
<b>Abrahan </b>sat down on the edge of the bed.
He pushed the fruit tter <b>away </b>from her. “Don’t eat like that. It’s bad for your stomach.”
Ste pouted.
“You have to control even how I cat?
<b>Abraham </b>lified an eyebrow. “Hmm?
“Fine, fine, I get it, Ste mumbled, sulking internally.
He’s <b>even </b>stricter i
than a mont
Abraham asked, “Who were <b>you </b>talking to just now?”
“Talian,” Ste said. “She made a bet with me. Said if she didn’t move into <b>Verdant </b>Vi, she’d pay me a million.”
Abraham <b>raised </b>an eyebrow<b>. </b>“You need a <b>million</b>”
Ste said, “Nope. But a win’s a win
golta collect.
It wasn’t about needing the money.
“That murderer- the one who hit me – keeps extorting her for money. Just today, they asked her for a million.”
Ste’s mouth twitched. “And how do you know all that?”
Was he having her watched?
Right then, Ste was certain–Abraham hadn’t just been angry about his <b>own </b>car ident..
He was fierrout
Still, something felt off.
Scooting closer, Ste peered up at him. “<b>Abraham</b>, are you hiding something from me?”
Abraham nced at her and ruffled her hair lightly. “What could 1 possibly hide from you?”
“Lilian’s hospital situation<b>… </b>it was you, wasn’t it?”
Getting kicked out overnight–<b>and </b>no hospital willing to take her?
There was no way that wasn’t Abraham’s doing
Without answering. Abraham scooped her up into his arms, so suddenly she ended up straddling hisp.
“Ahh–T
The sharp pain made her gasp.
Abraham immediately frowned when he <b>saw </b>her grimace. “Still hurting?
Ste <b>whined</b>. “Be gentle, will you?”
It really, really hurt.
“Sorry, Abraham said softly. “I forgot”
Ste was speechless,
Forgot!
Hearing him say <b>that </b>word made Ste shiver.
He better not have forgotten everything fromst night!
“You’re not allowed to forget!” she blurted out.
Thank goodness he <b>hadn’t </b>imed to forget what happened otherwise she wouldn’t even have anywhere to lodge <b>a </bin
She would’ve lost all footing.
<b>Abraham </b>gently massaged her legs. “Hurting here?”
Ste pouted. “It’s so sore.”
It didn’t even feel like her own legs anymore.
Abraham continued kneading her tenderly, ‘So delicate.”
Ste sulked.
But after leaving Fleule… she hadpletely cked off.
She nodded meekly. “No..”
Abraham said calmly, “Once you’re better, one hour of running every day.”
Inside, Ste let out a wail.
One hour!! He’s trying to kill me!
But she still stubbornly asked, “So… was Lilian’s situation really your doing?”
