Chapter 198 The Truth Unfolds
What struck Ethan most was how Susan had referred to her daughter as “Stella Dawson.”
II remembered correctly, she had always called Lillian simply “Lillian”
And Stella is her biological daughter
For the first time, Ethan noticed a distinct difference in the
way
It hit him all at once.
Susan treated Stella and Lillian.
Finished
Suddenly, Ethan understood why Stella had always been so distant from the Reed family.
Even Jason was surprised. He hadn’t expected Susan to ask such a question.
After all, Stella is her real daughter.
Not to mention that two years ago the Reed Jamily had tried to force Stella onto Mr. Keene
What kind of attitude is that?
Ethan narrowed his eyes. “Did Lillian send you?”
Thinking back to what Lillian had said on the phone, Ethan suddenly felt she was being unreasonable.
She had come back for treatment, and I had done everything I could. I had only been away from the hospital because of a small problem at
work.
And now Susan was here asking about it? Was she interrogating me?
Susan stiffened. “N–no… I just…”
Faced with Ethan’s sudden seriousness, Susan began to stammer.
“I just… you know… Lillian is sick. She’s very emotionally fragile right now. She found out that you and Stella are both in Pluchville Hill. She doesn’t even take her medicine anymore.”
“What?”
Ethan’s expression darkened even more when he heard that Lillian refused to take her medication.
Susan noticed the flicker of concern in his eyes and quickly added, “You know how dependent she is on you. If she were doing well, she’d be calmer, more rational. But right now she’s facing life and death.”
Just thinking abou Lillian’s condition made Susan’s heart ache.
Hearing that, some of the irritation in Ethan’s eyes faded.
He immediately picked up the phone and called Lillian.
She answered quickly, her voice weak. “Ellian.”
“Why aren’t you taking your medication properly?”
His tone was stern, but with a hint of concerned reproach.
Hearing his tone, Lillian immediately began to sob.

Stella again?
It would have been better not to mention her. Hearing her name made me even more frustrated.
He patiently coaxed her. The company’s really busy these days. Please just take care of yourself, okay?”
The Luke family had already signed a contract with Lours,
Even my own father couldn’t do it. I could already see what kind of trouble the Keene Group was in for
I had absolutely no time to go back to the hospital now.
After a few more comforting words, he hung up.
Although Ethan’s attitude had softened, Susan could still sense it.
His patience wasn’t what it used to be.
He looked at her.
“Are you really not here because of Stella?” she asked, almost thoughtlessly, driven by panic.
As soon as the words left her mouth, Ethan’s face went completely cold.
He gave Susan a long, piercing look, then turned and walked away.
Susan instinctively tried to follow him. “Ethan, 1.
Finished
But he was losing patience. “Madam Susan, what you should really be worried about right now is the Reed Group. I heard that the Reed Group is being targeted by Sterling Global, the company that helped Stella make hundreds of thousands last year. What kind of connection do you think she has to all of this?”
Susan’s breath caught in her throat.
What kind of connection?
Patrick and Jonathan had already explained everything to me
Now that Ethan had put it that way, Susan felt more stifled than ever. The reason she had come to Pluchville was now clearer
than ever.
Far ahead, Ethan’s figure grew colder with every step.
Jason’s phone buzzed.
He answered, listened for a moment, then said, “Got it.
He hung up and quickly caught up with Ethan.
“Mr. Keene, the heir of the Luke family, his real name is Abraham Dawson. People call him Mr. Abraham“
Ethan stopped dead in his tracks.
He turned to Jason, his eyes growing darker. “Abraham Dawson! Mr. Abraham?”
Mr. Abraham, the infamous name from Fleule.
The man who had been at Stella’s side all alone the this Mr. Abraham from Kleuter
