Chapter 338 Keep Her from Dying


    “I can do it myself,” she insisted.


    Abraham insisted too. “You…”


    “Ah! I don’t want to!” Ste shouted in frustration, loud enough that Eddie, sipping wine outside, nearly dropped his ss in shock.


    Several more hours of flight passed.


    Ste was exhausted and slept deeply on the ne. Thankfully, Abraham did not disturb her this time.


    While she was fast asleep, he helped apply the medicine once more. She had stirred a little, aware of his touch, but she was far too tired to open her eyes or resist.


    “Mr. Abraham, you can wake Ms. Dawson now.” Abel reminded.


    The ne hadnded over an hour ago. Abel, seeing Ste had not emerged from the lounge, figured she was still asleep, and their appointment time was approaching.


    Abraham nced at his watch, gave a soft grunt of acknowledgment, and headed into the lounge.


    Inside


    Ste was still sound asleep.


    “Ste, Ste?” Abraham called gently. Ste mumbled in reply, turned over, and prepared to continue sleeping.


    With no other choice, Abraham grabbed her clothes, scooped her into his arms, and forced her awake.


    She blinked sleepily. “What are you doing? Have wended?”


    Abraham chuckled. “Your phone’s been buzzing nonstop. And yes, we need to disembark.”


    While softlyforting her, he dressed her with practiced care. The weather in Rivermount waspletely different from Kealis Ind.


    Ste let him do as he pleased, docile and <b>pliant</b>. <i>By </i>the time he was finished, she was barely fully


    awake.


    Hearing her phone vibrate again, she answered without checking the number. “Hello?”


    “Ste, it’s me.” The voice on the other end was Rianne’s. Ste instantly sobered <ol><li>up. </li></ol>


    “Rianne<b>? </b>


    How did you not this number?”

    Rianne replied, “You sent it to me.”

    Ever since Abraham had her phone number changed, she had been determined to cut all ties with the Reed family, so only a handful of people even knew this number.


    “Oh… right. So, what’s going on?” Ste asked.


    Rianne said. “I arrived in Rivermount six hours ago.”


    <b>“</b><b>And</b>?” Ste was still curious why Rianne called<b>. </b>


    Rianne’s voice wasced with helplessness. “Madam Susan has been waiting outside the house ever since, demanding to see me. She won’t leave.”


    So Susan had <i>found </i>out Rianne <i>was </i>back and had staked <i>out </i>the Hale mansion? All <i>for </i><i>Lilian</i>. That woman was obsessed. After all the chaos with Reba, she still had the nerve to chase Rianne down?


    Ste said calmly, “How about… you go and see her?”


    “What?” Rianne did not understand.


    “And give her a little hope, Ste added meaningfully.


    Give her hope? <i>Wouldn’t </i>that just make things worse<i>? </i>Rianne thought.


    Before leaving Rivermount, she had seen Lilian’s medical reports. Those test results were… Based on her years of medical experience, Lilian’s body was so wrecked she would notst six months. And that was assuming she got surgery soon.


    Now? The surgery had not happened. She was not even receiving basic treatment. Where was the hope in that?


    Rianne muttered, “You want her to suffer in both body and soul.”


    <i>To </i>give <i>hope</i>, <i>only </i>to plunge <i>her </i>deeper into despair?


    Rianne immediately understood what Ste was implying.


    “When people see no hope, Ste said, “they’re often tempted to end things quickly.”


    Got it Rianne nodded.


    So the idea was to keep Lilian from killing herself.


    Back when she tried to kill Ste, her tactics had been beyond cruel.


    Not just the car ident; she had even tried to tamper with her hospital treatment. If it had not been for Rianne and Tessa’s quick response, Ste might not have survived.


    Now, looking back. Rianne <b>was </b>d they had saved her.

    go visit the Reed family now. Dinner tonight?” Rianne thought of inviting Ste for dinner.


    Ste nced at Abraham, then winced slightly. Her body still ached.


    “Let’s do it tomorrow, she said.


    She was not going anywhere today. She still hurt too much.


    “Alright. Rianne then ended the call.


    Once Ste hung up. Abraham picked her up again, smiling indulgently. So obedient. You’re even thinking about your health now.”


    “Well, I am in serious pain. Of course I can’t go out.” Ste murmured.


    Whether she was obedient or not, she was genuinely in pain.


    Abraham did not say another word, simply carried her off the ne.


    In the past. Ste would have insisted on walking, but today, she said nothing at all.
