Chapter 237 Storm Incoming
“Last night, Abel went to see the driver who caused your car accident two, Abraham said casually. “What was said between them, I don’t know”
Stella snorted inwardly.
Yeah, like hell he doesn’t kno
Abraham raised an eyebrow. What’s wrong? Feeling soft–hearted toward her?”
Do I look weak to you? Stella rolled her eyes.
As if The only ones who could ever stir her heart were the Dawson family. As for the rest no one had ever gotten close.
Abraham chuckled.
Stella shifted on the bed. “Now that she’s desperate, she’s probably going to try leaving the country for treatment, right?”
“She can’t Abraham said lightly.
Stella’s eyes widened in shock.
His face was as warm and calm as ever- but the words he spoke were enough to completely cut off someone’s escape.
“You’re really planning to trap her alive?”
In Rivermount, without any hospital willing to admit her, Lilian would have nowhere left to turn.
And if she realized she couldn’t even leave Rivermount?
She’d probably break completely.
Abraham stayed with Stella for a long while before finally getting up to leave.
Before he went, he made sure to feed her some more
ore medicine.
Stella had just curled up under the covers again when her phone buzzed.
She glanced at the caller ID- her heart jumped and she immediately pressed “Answer, holding the phone to her ear.
“Mare” she whispered.
The moment the word left her mouth, a familiar voice roared from the other end.
“Three hours. Come pick me up at the airport.
Stella nearly dropped the phone
“You—you’re coming to Rivermount?”
If Marie saw her injuries right now, how was she going to explain? Say she got bitten by bugs? Fell down?
Marie’s voice was full of rage. “Dead girl! Let’s see how I deal with you this time. You little brat, you’re really good at running, huh? Your brother already found you and you’re still playing hide–and–seek with me?”
Just thinking about it made Marie’s blood pressure skyrocket.
Chapter 237 Storm thcoming
Hearing the threat in her voice, Stella shrank under the blankets, “Where are you now?”
If she’s three hours away she must already be out of Fieule?
Stella broke into a cold sweat. She’s seriously coming! The demon queen is on her way!
Marie’s snort crackled through the line. “What, thinking of warning Abraham? You even think about ratting me out and I’l break your legs.”
Stella whimpered silently.
Marie barked, “Three hours. I want to see you the moment I land.”
The way she threatened it was exactly the same as when Abrahamn had first shown up in Rivermount.
No wonder–born from the same blood, after all. They even threatened people the same way.
Stella rolled around in bed, miserable. Wait – you really already left Fleule?”
Marie “hmph’ed. “Trying to warn him? Better pray I don’t catch you.”
If Marie could crawl through the phone and smack her, she would.
–
Three years ago, Stella had run so fast she might as well have been training for the Olympics then gone completely off- grid
Stella could only whisper pitifully, “I wouldn’t dare.”
Ahhh, so scary.
–
Marie snorted. “You better not. Just wait, I’ll teach you a lesson. Running so far why didn’t you just launch yourself into outer space?”
“If you’d starved to death out there, maybe you’d have learned your lesson.”
Stella was speechless.
“Three hours. Don’t be late.”
With a final barrage of scolding, Marie hung up.
In her mind, Stella was still the soft, clumsy little girl she had grown up with the one who needed protecting.
During those years when they couldn’t find her, Marie had truly worried that something terrible had happened.
Listening to the disconnected beeping of the call, Stella gritted her teeth and dragged herself out of bed, wincing at the pain.
There’s no way I’m not telling Abraham.
If Marie showed up and saw her like this, she was doomed.
Stella quickly threw on a coat and padded out of the room.
She checked the study first no sign of him.
Then the living room still no sign.
Finally, a housekeeper spotted her and approached respectfully. “Ms. Stella”
Hait there’s a billiards room here?
They had only just moved in recently. She hadn’t even had time to explore properly yet.
