Chapter 254 Even Pain Isn’t Enough
In weather like this, once you lost control, there was no coming back.
Ethan said, “The roads are too slippery. Just hold on.”
“Didn’t you install snow chains?” Jonathan snapped.
Ethan fell silent.
Facing Jonathan’s raging, he simply stopped replying altogether.
Originally, they had gone together to try to arrange for Lilian’s treatment overseas.
But not only had they failed–Jonathan had ended up seriously injured too.
When they finally reached the hospital-
Susan and Patrick, who had gotten the news, rushed over as well.
“Ethan, how did he get hurt? Weren’t you just going to talk to Stella? Where’s he injured?”
Hearing her son was hurt, Susan grew frantic..
Ethan recounted what had happened.
Even thinking about it now. Ethan still found the whole situation chilling.
If he had said even one wrong word at the time, Abraham’s gun probably would have been pointed at him next.
When Susan heard that Jonathan had basically lost the use of both hands, she was so overwhelmed she almost fainted.
“Stella, she, she-
She what!
Susan almost couldn’t catch her breath. By the time she did, she couldn’t get a single word out.
“You went to see her for Lilian’s sake. How did you end up clashing with MrAbraham?”
Mr. Abraham the man who had taken Stella in
Susan couldn’t help but sigh inside. How did that girl get so lucky?
Such a good family and yet they couldn’t get a single advantage out of it. Compared to that, they would’ve been better off letting her grow up in the countryside.
At least if she’d grown up in the countryside, she wouldn’t have brought them so much trouble.
Thinking of Lilian, Ethan fell silent.
Because they had completely failed.
Susan demanded, “And when Mr. Abraham pointed a gun at Jonathan, she just left?”
That was her real brothert
How could Stella be so cold and heartlesst
Just because of what happened two years ago – just because they hadn’t taken her side? That matter barely even had anything to do with Lilian.
The more Susan thought about it, the angrier she became.
Ethan nodded. “Yes”
Hearing his answer, Susan almost fainted a
Lagain.
She said she had to go feed her rabbit?Her damn rabbit teas more important than her brother’s life?
Susan was so furious she almost regretted ever giving birth to Stella.
“Lilian’s trapped in Rivermount now, Jonathan’s injured what the hell is this mess?”
At this moment, Susan truly wanted to strangle Stella with her own hands.
Back at Scallats Cove-
Abraham was helping Stella apply medicine again. As usual, she refused to cooperate properly.
After he finished, she immediately shrank under the covers and refused to come out.
Abraham tugged the blanket down and pinched her warm, flushed check indulgently. “You’d better heal up quickly.”
He had none of the cold, ruthless air he had shown Jonathan.
Stella mumbled. “What for?”
You know why.
Stella’s mouth twitched. “No, I didn’t mean that! I wasn’t asking about that!
She spoke hurriedly, her face turning even redder.
Abraham laughed and leaned close to her ear, whispering something that made Stella, who was already blushing, freeze completely.
She glared at him fiercely.
I’m not talking to you anymore!”
She turned over and dove back under the blanket, her muffled voice coming out, “Don’t pull the covers again! Go away!”
She couldn’t even look at Abraham right now. Seeing him made her want to bite him.
Where was his noble, untouchable air? Where was his cold distance!
Gone completely gone! Now he was just… indecent!
Abraham laughed softly and got up. “Alright. I’ll leave. Don’t suffocate yourself.
“Go, go, go!
Stella’s voice was filled with playful annoyance
After a long while, hearing no movement outside, Stella cautiously lifted a comer of the blanket and pecked out.
But Abraham was still standing right by the bed, arms crossed.
“You–you’re still here?”
Startled, she instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck
Abraham kissed her lightly on the lips.
Stella fumed. “I’m going to bite you!”
Abraham chuckled sofily. “Go ahead.”
He didn’t leave at all. He stayed just to take advantage of her!
Struggling to break free from his arms, Stella was soon completely enveloped in his warm scent.
