One of the junior designers leaned toward Kimmy and whispered “Boss’s brother is so hot. That cold, aloof vibe–ugh, he’s perfect.”
Kimmy rolled her eyes. “Don’t even think about it
“Can’t I at least daydream
“Careful or the boss might skin you alive?
Abraham carried Stella

Even though the temperature muude was comfortable.

chenever the weather changed.
Why didn’t you say it hurt
“I’m used to it. Stella replied
Abraham’s hand paused on the blanket. A flicker of something dark flashed through his eyes, but he said nothing
Instead, he asked, “Sull keeping up with your treatment?”
At that, Stella’s eyes darted away
Abraham looked at her. “You’re not, are you?”
“I’m scared of the pain.”
To be honest, the pain wasn’t that bad–but she had a phobia of needles.
Just seeing them made her panic.
Because of that, the last two winters in Rivermount had been especially hard on her..
Abrahamn turned to the front seat. “Tell Eddie to bring the equipment
Stella’s heart skipped.
“Abraham”
Be good
His tone was gentle, calming her like nothing else could.
She really was terrified of needles. One of the women involved in her kidnapping back then had been obsessed with stabbing people
Abel called Eddie, then answered another call.
Turning back, he said to Abraham, “Mr. Louis is already on his way to Pluchville Hill.”
They had originally planned to review a contract today.
Abraham had made the trip to Pluchville Hill a last–minute decision. Louis didn’t dare argue–he had no choice but Abraham’s lead.

When they got out of the car, Abraham reached for Stella again, but she quickly grabbed his arm. “I can walk”
“Oh
All grown up now, huh? Not letting me carry you anymore!
Stella fell silent.
At least he realizes. I’ve grown að notas
And that was exactly why he shouldn’t be carrying her around anymore
Seeing the dazed look on her face, Abraham chuckled, then scooped her up into his arms again and strode toward the
wooden villa.
At the Keene Group offices-
Jason rushed into Ethan’s office and knocked once before entering “Mr Q. Mr. Pri and his team went to Pluchville Hill”
Ethan raised an eyebrow, “What do you mean
They were supposed to review the contract today”
Right the contract. Louis was supposed to go over the deal with the Luke family.
If he was heading out to Pluchville Hill right now, the meeting had to be set for there
That had to be it
Ethan shot up from his chair and grabbed his suit jacket from the back of the sofa
“Your father is also en route,” Jason added,
Ethan’s expression darkened. “My father too?“.
Jason nodded. “Yes.”
Ethan didn’t reply.
So, the Luke family must be meeting them there.
Thinking about how his father had been pushing hard on the hospital situation lately, Ethan understood–if they couldn’t lock down the partnership with the Luke family, Lillian was going to suffer for it.
“Let’s go. Bring a copy of the contract.”
He had made up his mind–today, he would secure the deal, even if it meant pushing through the contract on the spot.
Even if the Luke family wanted to work with Louis, he was determined to get a piece of the action..
“Got it. I’ll have Legal draft everything now.
Jason rushed out.
Ethan didn’t stick around either–he left the office immediately.
Today, no matter what, he had to win over the Luke family.
His phone started buzzing.

Lillian’s choked voice came through the line.
Ethan frowned “What happened?”
“I can’t stay at this hospital anymore. Your father and mother-
Her voice caught again, unable to go on
“My mother?”
Hadn’t his father already sent someone over? His mother went too
Ethan’s face darkened.
“Your mother time to see me
Her voice was still tearful, but now laced with a clear sense of humiliation
Just from that alone. Ethan knew–Madeline must’ve paid her a visit, and she definitely didn’t say anything kind.
