Chapter 125 All That For What?
Death–just the word alone felt unbearably heavy to them now. It used to be something far off, something distant. But now, it was real; it was heavy; it hurt
Because Lillian could be gone at any moment.
She was about to say something else when Ethan’s phone rang.
It was Madeline.
“You need to come back. Your father’s waiting for you.”
Madeline’s tone on the phone wasn’t great.
And ever since Ethan’s father, Judson, handed the company over to him, he’d hardly ever interfered again.
Now, this was, the second time in just a few days that he’d asked to see him. Ethan didn’t need to guess whatever it was, it wasn’t good.
“I’m still
“Ethan, don’t make me beg. You know Lillian can’t take another hit.”
Before Ethan could finish, Madeline cut him off coldly over the phone.
He glanced down at Lillian, who was still holding on to his sleeve, and finally relented with a sigh, “Got it.”
He hung up and looked at her.
Lillian had overheard Madeline on the call. Slowly, she let go of his sleeve, bit by bit. “You should go.”
When Madeline got angry, she wasn’t playing around.
And just like Madeline said–Lillian’s body really couldn’t take any more shocks right now.
Meanwhile, on Stella’s end.
She received a message from Lillian: “Ethan said once I move into Verdant Villa, he’s going to replace the curtains in my room with sunflower–patterned ones.”
Stella replied: “Then you better start picking out curtains.”
What a showoff. Hah. Just four days left. Let’s see how Ethan wraps this up.
The heir to Rivermount’s most powerful family, left completely humiliated–hilarious.
Back at the hospital. Seeing how indifferent Stella’s reply was, a flicker of venom crossed Lillian’s eyes.
Just as she was about to send another message, Susan walked in.
Lillian quickly deleted the message and handed her phone to a nearby nurse. “Thanks.”
“You’re welcome.”
The nurse took the phone, gave Susan a respectful smile, and stepped out.
Susan’s smile didn’t waver. “Sof Everything settled with Verdant Villa?”

She was going to marry Ethan. She was going to live in Verdant Villa.

When Susan brought up Seaflats Cove. Lillian nodded. “Yeah. He even said when I move in, he’ll change the curtains to sunflowers,”
Susan’s smile deepened.
“He really does care about you. You need to treasure that
Hearing her words, something twinged in Lillian’s chest. Would she and Ethan really have a future together?
She hoped they would. Once her health recovered, she wouldn’t dare take things for granted anymore.
People had to cherish life, after all.
The lawyer’s been trying to find you these past few days. Mom, are you still hung up on Stella Lillian asked softly.
After everything that had blown up between Stella and the Reed family, she figured Susan would’ve been the first to sign the severance papers.
But instead, she’d been avoiding the lawyer.
It hat did that mean! She still couldn’t let go of that brat who went against her every step of the way?
The mention of Stella soured Susan’s expression.
“She’s still my daughter, Lillian. Once you’re better, I’ll deal with her.”
Susan hadn’t dared to sign those papers. Deep down, she was scared she’d regret it later.
Everything she’d done to Stella lately had been in the heat of the moment.
And when people act out of anger, they shouldn’t make permanent decisions.
Hearing that. Lillian’s chest tightened.
After I got better, she’d decide! What was that supposed to mean? That once I recovered, she planned to make it up to Stellaflf that was true. then what about me!
The thought made Lillian’s breathing grow uneven; her face went a shade paler.
Grear. She’d underestimated Stella, after all.
Originally, she’d wanted the Reed family themselves to be the ones to throw her out of Rivermount
And now, her funds hadn’t been cut. The studio was still running.
Lillian pondered. And now she couldn’t even be kicked out? Then what had my efforts amounted to? Had I done it all for nothing!
Susan let out a sigh “Lillian, I really am heartbroken. Can you believe the kind of person she turned out to be, after being raised by those people”
“If she turned out this way, doesn’t that tell you something? That family didn’t love her. They must not have loved her–how rise would she end up like this
Talking about that family made Susan furious all over again.
