Chapter 33 She Had Nothing to Do With Them

The Tom family had already beenpletely suppressed by bAbraham/bb, /band he now stood firmly at the peak of Falvaria.

No one could hurt Abraham anymore. No one could threaten her bnow/b.

“Ms. Dawson, please rest a bit longer. The kitchen is already preparing breakfast. Mr. Abraham will join you after his video meeting”

Ste nodded. “Okay.”

Her room faced the ocean. When Ste stepped bin/b, she saw the first light of dawn rising slowly from the sea. The moment the sun broke free from the horizon, it carried a breathtaking beauty.

She remembered now. She bhad /bonce said she liked it here.

bFalvaria /bwasn’t bnear /bthe sea, What Ste had always wanted to see bmost /bwas the sunrise over the oceanb. /b

She hadn’t expected Abraham to remember.

Back at the hospital, Lillian had been tormented by pain all night. She lookedpletely worn out, almost unrecognizable.

Susan’s heart ached when she saw her.

Jonathan had also stayed there through the night. He had even lost his temper twice the night before.

But Lillian’s body had long been falling apart in many ces. Even the strongest painkillers didn’t have much effect bon /bher.

Ethan had returned.

Susan brushed /bover. “bEthan/b, how did it bgo/b?

? Did bshe /bagree to call Dr. Rianne?”

bEthan /bbnced /bat Lillian, his bface /bdark.

With just that one look, even without a bword/b, everyone knew the answer he bhad /bbrought back.

Ste hadn’t given in.

bSusan /bcouldn’t hold back her emotions anymore. “How could she be so cruel? bThis /bis a matter of blife /band death!”

Lillian looked at Ethan, but only for a second before turning away and wiping her tears bin /bsecret.

Seeing her like this, Ethan felt even more bitter toward Ste..

bSusan /bimmediately dialed Ste’s number, but an icy message came from the phone.

Ste had already blocked her long bago/b.

Now uruble to reach her, Susan bwas /be

even more furious. b“/bbShe’s /bgoing to drive me crazy!”

She quickly borrowed a phone from a nurse and finally got through to Ste.

The bmoment /bthe call connected, before Ste bcould /bspeak, bSusan /bstarted bshing /bout.

“Ste, you’ve gone too far! I let a lot of things slide when you targeted Lillian before, but right now? How can you treat this like some game!”

“Mr. Reed, are you using me! I don’t bthink /byou have the right Ste’s cold voice came through.

The word “mother, spoken over the phone, even carried a hint of disdain.

Steughed mockingly. “My birth mother? Then you’ve really bshown /bme bwhat /bkind of mother you are.”

Susan was so angry her vision went bdark/b.

If it weren’t for Lillian’s condition, she would’ve given Ste a proper scolding.

Now she didn’t want to say more over the phone. After a few sharp inhales to steady herself, she growled, “Where are you? I’lle find you

“Why?”

“We need to talk, face to face”

Lillian’s body couldn’t hold on much longer. Susan wanted to settle this with Ste in person.

Whatever Ste wanted, she’d give it to her. She just hoped Rianne would return soon.

The problem was, Susan was ready topromise on everything bnow/b, but Ste simply didn’t care.

There’s nothing to talk about. And everything that needed to be said between us has already been said. Mrs, Reed, I can’t go back to the Reed family, and I don’t need a mother blike /byou. So it’s better if we treat each other like strangers.”

With that, Ste hung up without mercy.

Her phone had already been hard to reach. Now that she’d hung up outright, Susan was trembling with anger.

Especially that bst /bline-“I don’t need a mother like you“-made Susan feel like her chest was stuffed full of cotton, suffocating and painful.

Jonathan walked out of the hospital room and saw bthe /bblook /bof heartbreak on Susan’s face.

He didn’t even need to bask/b. Ste must have said something cruel bagain/b.

Seeing him, Susan said with deep sorrow, “How can she be like this? No matter the grudge, couldn’t she have waited until Lillian got better? Why now?”

Ste hadn’t listened to anything. She had beenpletely impossible to reason with.

Jonathan frowned. Tll go talk to her.”

Susan said bitterly, “It’s not like we’re asking for her life. Just a phone call to Dr. Rianne, and she won’t even do that. How did 1 rause a daughter like this?”

They weren’t even at the point of asking for a matching organ transnt. If it ever came to that, Ste would probably bmake /ba public statement, dering the had nothing to do with the family at all
