Chapter 33 She Had Nothing to Do With Them
The Tom family had already been completely suppressed by Abraham, and he now stood firmly at the peak of Falvaria.
No one could hurt Abraham anymore. No one could threaten her now.
“Ms. Dawson, please rest a bit longer. The kitchen is already preparing breakfast. Mr. Abraham will join you after his video meeting”
Stella nodded. “Okay.”
Her room faced the ocean. When Stella stepped in, she saw the first light of dawn rising slowly from the sea. The moment the sun broke free from the horizon, it carried a breathtaking beauty.
She remembered now. She had once said she liked it here.
Falvaria wasn’t near the sea, What Stella had always wanted to see most was the sunrise over the ocean.
She hadn’t expected Abraham to remember.
Back at the hospital, Lillian had been tormented by pain all night. She looked completely worn out, almost unrecognizable.
Susan’s heart ached when she saw her.
Jonathan had also stayed there through the night. He had even lost his temper twice the night before.
But Lillian’s body had long been falling apart in many places. Even the strongest painkillers didn’t have much effect on her.
Ethan had returned.
Susan rushed over. “Ethan, how did it go?
? Did she agree to call Dr. Rianne?”
Ethan glanced at Lillian, his face dark.
With just that one look, even without a word, everyone knew the answer he had brought back.
Stella hadn’t given in.
Susan couldn’t hold back her emotions anymore. “How could she be so cruel? This is a matter of life and death!”
Lillian looked at Ethan, but only for a second before turning away and wiping her tears in secret.
Seeing her like this, Ethan felt even more bitter toward Stella..
Susan immediately dialed Stella’s number, but an icy message came from the phone.
Stella had already blocked her long ago.
Now uruble to reach her, Susan was e
even more furious. “She’s going to drive me crazy!”
She quickly borrowed a phone from a nurse and finally got through to Stella.
The moment the call connected, before Stella could speak, Susan started lashing out.
“Stella, you’ve gone too far! I let a lot of things slide when you targeted Lillian before, but right now? How can you treat this like some game!”
“Mr. Reed, are you accusing me! I don’t think you have the right Stella’s cold voice came through.

The word “mother, spoken over the phone, even carried a hint of disdain.
Stella laughed mockingly. “My birth mother? Then you’ve really shown me what kind of mother you are.”
Susan was so angry her vision went dark.
If it weren’t for Lillian’s condition, she would’ve given Stella a proper scolding.

Now she didn’t want to say more over the phone. After a few sharp inhales to steady herself, she growled, “Where are you? I’ll come find you
“Why?”
“We need to talk, face to face”
Lillian’s body couldn’t hold on much longer. Susan wanted to settle this with Stella in person.
Whatever Stella wanted, she’d give it to her. She just hoped Rianne would return soon.
The problem was, Susan was ready to compromise on everything now, but Stella simply didn’t care.
There’s nothing to talk about. And everything that needed to be said between us has already been said. Mrs, Reed, I can’t go back to the Reed family, and I don’t need a mother like you. So it’s better if we treat each other like strangers.”
With that, Stella hung up without mercy.
Her phone had already been hard to reach. Now that she’d hung up outright, Susan was trembling with anger.
Especially that last line-“I don’t need a mother like you“-made Susan feel like her chest was stuffed full of cotton, suffocating and painful.
Jonathan walked out of the hospital room and saw the look of heartbreak on Susan’s face.
He didn’t even need to ask. Stella must have said something cruel again.
Seeing him, Susan said with deep sorrow, “How can she be like this? No matter the grudge, couldn’t she have waited until Lillian got better? Why now?”
Stella hadn’t listened to anything. She had been completely impossible to reason with.
Jonathan frowned. Tll go talk to her.”
Susan said bitterly, “It’s not like we’re asking for her life. Just a phone call to Dr. Rianne, and she won’t even do that. How did 1 rause a daughter like this?”
They weren’t even at the point of asking for a matching organ transplant. If it ever came to that, Stella would probably make a public statement, declaring the had nothing to do with the family at all
