Chapter 84 His Little Princess
There were so many expert doctors in the world, especially in cardiology and obstetrics.
After that firm response, Stella looked to Abraham again. “You don’t think I’m heartless
Abraham shrugged his shoulders. “I never asked you to be charitable.”

Stella fell into deep thoughts. Over the years, Abraham and Marie had taught her everything except how to be gentle or kind. Especially after she was kidnapped when she was thirteen.
From then on, the principle they drilled into her was ‘If you ever feel your life is in danger, do everything you can to eliminate the threat first.”
“Then I won’t be doing any good deeds, Stella mumbled.
Seeing her petty little expression, Abraham’s eyes gleamed with even more indulgence.
And inst
I just like that, she stayed seated on his lap all the way back to Verdant Villa.
When they arrived, he still tried to carry her out of the car, just like when she was a child. Every time they left or returned home, he would hold her like this.
“I can walk on my own!” she protested, struggling to get down.
But her limbs were soft like noodles, and Abraham pinched her underarms. “Don’t move. Be good.”
Abel, who was following behind, softened at the unusually gentle tone in Abraham’s voice.
If they had not found her in time, he really feared Abraham would lose his mind. Thankfully, they had found her.
Inside the house, Abraham finally set her down. “You’re not going to the studio this afternoon, are you?”
“But I want to!” she pouted.
Like he would let me go to work after just getting back? He had not takerne to the studio just now, and now he was pretending to ask for my opinion
Watching her sulky face, Abraham tapped her forehead. “Go take a nap. Abel and I will be in the study.”
“Mm–hmm!” Stella turned and bounded happily upstairs.
Watching her energetic little figure, Abraham’s eyes softened even more..
In the study with Abel….
Abel looked at Abraham. “She’s become a lot stronger these past few years.”
The most vivid memory he had of Stella was her tear-streaked face the year she was kidnapped.
Abraham nodded. “Stronger, yes. And not as soft–hearted as before.”
Abel meant no offense. He had served beside Abraham for years and knew that kindness was a liability in the Dawson and Luke families
Abraham lit a cigarette, taking a slow drag “I don’t care what kind of person she becomes, as long as she can protect herself.” When it came to Lilian, most people would call Stella cruel and heartless. But in his eyes, she had done well.
Because if she did not refuse to help, he would have made sure Lilian never walked away alive. Better to let Heaven take her than to stain his hands again.
Abel blinked in summe

the years she had run away from home… When they reunited, he saw something new in her eyes… A hint of coldness.
And that coldness? It all began

To Abraham, that was a good thing.
“How’s the investigation going?” he asked next.
Abel answered respectfully, “We’ve looked into it. It has nothing to do with Louis… Actually, the Lloyd family may be involved.”
A chill flashed in Abel’s gaze.
Abraham narrowed his eyes. “The Lloyd family?”
Abel nodded. “Yes”
Abraham’s entire presence turned icy. Then keep a close watch on Dante”
“Yes, sir.” After a pause, Abel asked hesitantly, “About the Reed family and Ethan… You really don’t want to intervene for Ms.
Dawson?”
“Right now, they need Eddie and Rianne, and they still need her to say yes. Let her play with them a while longer
Play?
From the way he said it, Abel could tell Abraham was indulging Stella completely. And honestly, it made sense.
