Chapter 254 Even Pain Isn’t Enough


    In weather like this, once you lost control, there was <b>no </bing back.


    Ethan said, “The roads are too slippery. Just hold on<b>.</b><b>” </b>


    “Didn’t you install snow chains?” Jonathan snapped.


    Ethan fell silent.


    Facing Jonathan’s raging, <b>he </b>simply stopped replying altogether.


    Originally, they had gone together to try to arrange for Lilian’s treatment overseas.


    But not only had they failed–Jonathan had ended up seriously injured too.


    When they finally reached the hospital-


    Susan and Patrick, who had gotten the news, rushed over as well.


    “Ethan, how did he get hurt? Weren’t you just going to talk to Ste? Where’s he injured?”


    Hearing her son <b>was </b>hurt, <b>Susan </b>grew frantic..


    Ethan recounted what had happened.


    Even thinking about it now. Ethan still found the whole situation chilling.


    If he had said even one wrong word at the time, Abraham’s gun probably would have been pointed at him next.


    When Susan heard that Jonathan had basically lost the use of both hands, she was so overwhelmed she almost fainted.


    “Ste, she, she-


    She what!


    Susan almost couldn’t catch her breath. By the time she did, she couldn’t get a single word out.


    “You went to see her for Lilian’s sake. How did you end up shing with MrAbraham?”


    Mr. Abraham the <b>man </b>who had taken Ste in


    Susan couldn’t help but sigh inside. How did that girl get so lucky?


    Such a good family and yet they couldn’t get a single advantage out of it. Compared to that, they would’ve been better off letting her grow up in the countryside.


    At least if she’d grown up in the countryside, she wouldn’t have brought them so much trouble.


    Thinking of Lilian, Ethan fell silent.


    Because they hadpletely failed.


    <b>Susan </b>demanded, “And when Mr. Abraham pointed a gun at Jonathan, she just left?”


    That was her real brothert


    How could Ste be so cold and heartlesst


    Just because of what happened two years ago – just because they hadn’t taken her side? That matter barely even had anything to do with <b>Lilian</b>.


    The more Susan thought about it, the angrier she became.


    Ethan nodded. “Yes”


    Hearing his answer, Susan almost fainted a


    Lagain.


    She said she had to go feed her rabbit?Her damn rabbit teas more important than her brother’s life?


    Susan was so furious she almost regretted ever giving birth to Ste.


    <b>“</b><b>Lilian’s </b>trapped in Rivermount now, <b>Jonathan’s </b>injured what the hell is this mess?”


    At this moment, Susan truly <b>wanted </b>to strangle Ste with her own hands.


    Back at Scats Cove-


    Abraham was helping Ste apply medicine again. As usual, she refused to cooperate properly.


    After he finished, she immediately shrank under the covers and refused toe out.


    Abraham tugged the nket down and pinched her warm, flushed check indulgently. “You’d better heal up quickly.”


    He had none of the cold, ruthless air he had shown <b>Jonathan</b>.


    Ste mumbled. “What for?”


    You know why.


    Ste’s mouth twitched. “No, I didn’t <b>mean </b>that! I wasn’t asking about that!


    She spoke hurriedly, her face turning even redder.


    Abraham <bughed </b><b>and </b>leaned close to her ear, whispering something <b>that </b>made Ste, who was already blushing, freezepletely.


    She red at him fiercely.


    I’m <b>not </b>talking to <b>you </b>anymore!”


    <b>She </b>turned over and dove back under the nket, her muffled voiceing out, “Don’t pull the covers again! Go away!”


    She couldn’t even look at <b>Abraham </b>right now. Seeing him made her want to bite him.


    Where was his noble, untouchable air? Where was his cold distance!


    Gonepletely gone! Now he was just… indecent!


    <b>Abraham </bughed softly and got up. “Alright. I’ll leave. Don’t suffocate yourself.


    “Go, go, go!


    Ste’s voice <b>was </b><b>filled </b>with yful annoyance


    After a long while, hearing <b>no </b>movement outside, Ste cautiously lifted a <ber </b>of the nket and pecked out.


    But Abraham was still standing <b>right </b>by the bed, arms crossed.


    “You–you’re still here?”


    Startled, she instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck


    Abraham kissed her lightly on the lips.


    Ste <b>fumed</b>. “I’m going to bite you!”


    Abraham chuckled sofily. “Go ahead.”


    He didn’t leave at all. He stayed just to take advantage of her!


    Struggling to break free from his <b>arms</b>, Ste was soonpletely enveloped in his warm scent.
