Chapter 466 Don’t You Dare Call Her Mom
Yes, he had been abandoned.
After all those years as a father, now every ounce of his attention was directed <b>at </b>that other family outside.
“Im really sorry.”
Faced with Susan’s breakdown, Jonathan feltpletely powerless.
Whether they wanted to admit it or not, the entire Reed family had fallen apart.
Because of Lillian; and because of Ste
<b>+5 </b>Free Cons
After a night of flying. Abraham’s private jet finallynded at Falvaria International Airport just after ten the next morning
Ste had known they were returning to Falvaria, so she’d gotten up early.
Abraham coaxed her into eating a little porridge<b>, </b>but her <b>stomach </b>wasn’t having it; she threw it all <b>up</b>.
She <b>hadn’t </b>eaten properly in days, so by the time they got off <b>the </b>ne, her whole body felt weak and limp.
Abraham carried her the entire time. For once, Ste didn’t insist on walking by herself–she waspletely drained.
“Once we’re home, let the medical team give you a full check–up.”
His voice <b>was </b>full of tenderness as he looked at her with pure affection
Ste gave <b>a </b>soft hum and nodded weakly.
Because she suspected she might be pregnant, she hadn’t taken any of the medication Eddie had bought her on the ne.
Trailing behind, Eddie was still stewing over their trip to the Milbar Desert.
When he heard Abraham telling the team to examine Ste, he grumbled with jealousy, “Well, your medical wing is finally getting some use, huh?”
T
That medical wing. It all started when Ste was a child–she had poor health. The first time she went to the hospital for an intravenous drip<b>, </b>she’d thrown up from the smell of disinfectant.
After that, Abraham expanded the medical facility at home. Whatever the hospitals had, he made sure the house <b>had </b>too even designating an entire vi for it..
He’d even hired <b>a </b>pediatric specialist team.
As Ste grew up, the team rotated ordingly. Even though she hadn’t been in Falvaria for the past few years, that medical team had remained in ce.
Hearing the bitterness in Eddie’s tone, Ste peeked her head out from <b>Abraham’s </b>arms. “You better zip it; keep <b>talking </b>and. you’ll be spending even more time in Milbar Desert.”
Eddie was stunned.
The second he heard “more time, he instantly quieted down.
Qutside the airport-
The Luke family’s butler hade in person.
Marie came too. When Ste saw her, she struggled to get down from Abraham’s arms.
Maric spotted her and immediately shot her <b>a </b>fierce re.
Faced with her sharp, scolding eyes, Ste pouted and clung tightly to Abraham’s arm.
She was already petite to begin with..

Marie stood not far away, watching the scene unfold; for a brief moment, it felt like she’d been transported back to their childhood.
In her memories, Ste had always looked this small in front of Abrahamn.
As she got closer
Marie scoffed, “Back when my brother was in charge of you, he was always forbidding this or that. Sure, <b>you </b>stayed tiny.”
“These past two years you’ve been fending for yourself, eating whatever you want–and you still haven’t grown up <b>a </b>bit?”
Ste went quiet. I hadn’t grown?
“I did get taller, Ste replied instinctively.
Marie raised a brow. “Oh? Really? Then howe you still onlye up to my brother’s chest?”
At that, she instinctively nced up at Abraham..
She really <b>had </b>grown taller. So why am I still only up to his chest?
Marie reached out to grab her. “Come on, you’ve got a lot to exin to me–don’t even think about running
“You’re back in Falvaria now; <b>you </b>think you can still escape?”
Elsewhere<b>, </b>maybe <b>she </b>couldn’t do much to Ste, but now that they were back in Falvaria? If she dodged her today, was she nning to dodge her forever?
Marie had been holding a grudge about Ste leaving Falvaria for two years now.
Now that she was finally back, Marie wasn’t going to let her off the hook so easily.
Ste instinctively tried to duck behind Abraham, but Marie already had her by the arm.
<b>“</b>You little brat. Derrick tells you to leave, and you just go! Why do you listen to him like that? Or did you think the Dawson family was made of paper? Worst–case scenario, you still had your grandparents!”
The
<b>way </b>Derrick had managed to scare Ste off with just a few words–it infuriated Marie.
Her grandma and grandpa had been furious <b>too </b>when they found out.
Ste looked up at her with big, pleading eyes. “I was wrong. I know I was w
was wrong
“Knowing <b>you </b>were wrong doesn’t cut it. Talk–what exactly did Derrick say to you back then? I’m going to go settle the score with that scumbag.”
He actually had the nerve to drive her Star away–Marie was beyond livid.
