Chapter 34 I Am Not Marrying Her
Jonathan didn’t say anything.
Susan went on. “She came back, but she’s refused to change her last name this whole time. Just from that, you can tell that she never truly meant to come back to this family. Who knows what kind of people raised her. They actually taught her to be like that.
When they first found Stella, Susan had still felt a little grateful to the Dawson family.
But now, all of her frustration with Stella had turned into frustration with the Dawson family. She believed it was their fault- for not raising Stella properly.
Jonathan frowned. “Go talk to the doctor first. Lillian was in too much pain last night. See if there’s anything stronger that can help ease it. Whatever it costs, it doesn’t matter.”
Susan nodded. “Okay, I’ll go now. You go find her, and try to talk to her properly.”
She was still unhappy. But right now, Stella was the key to Rianne, and they really couldn’t afford to upset her.
Jonathan said, “I know.”
Susan left to find the doctor.
Jonathan headed straight to Kingston Heights to find Stella.
Inside the hospital room, Lillian had been in pain all night. No one knew what kind of medicine the doctor had given her, but she looked a little more comfortable now.
She looked weakly at Ethan. Ethan, does this mean I won’t be able to see the sunrise for a while?”
Sunrise was Lillian’s favorite. Sitting by the sea, watching the sun rise slowly above the horizon, made her feel the power of
life.
She wanted to go.
Ethan held her hand. “When you’re better, I’ll take you.”
“Did the Reene family give you any trouble?”
Just thinking about how cold the Keene family had been toward her ever since they found out she wasn’t the Reed family’s biological daughter made Lillian hate those old people. But she never showed that in front of Ethan.
Ethan comforted her, “You don’t need to worry about that.”
Lillian sighed. I couldn’t even if I wanted to. I feel like… I feel like I might not make it through this time.”
She had barely finished when Ethan snapped, his voice low. “Don’t say that
His chest felt tight, like a heavy stone was pressing on it. He couldn’t breathe right. It hurt.
Lillian asked, “What about your wedding with her? Will it still happen on time?”
Ethan didn’t answer. The mention of the wedding made something dangerous flash through his eyes. He remembered the man in Stella’s room the night before.
When he walked in, the man had clearly just come out of the shower. The towel around his waist was obviously Stella’s.
Just from all those little details, it was obvious that Stella and that man were close. But over the past two years, he’d never seen her involved with any man. She had always been on her own.

Chapter 34 1 Am Not Marrying Her
Lillian sighed. “If your family accepts Stella, then you should just go ahead and marry her
Her pale face, her weak voice, saying that he should marry Stella
That only made Ethan’s face grow darker.
I’m not marrying her, he blurted out.
But right after saying it, that pressure in his chest only got worse, like he couldn’t breathe at all.
Lillian blinked. “What? You…
Finished
“Enough. Right now, your health comes first,” Ethan interrupted, impatient. He didn’t want to talk about Stella any more.
Just then. Jason knocked and walked in. He gave Ethan a serious look.
Ethan understood and stood up. “Tll step out for a minute. You get some rest.”
Okay.
Outside the room, Ethan looked at Jason coldly. “Did you find anything?”
Jason shook his head. “Nothing”
“Nothing“”
Hearing that, Ethan’s expression darkens. He doesn’t see the point of Jason coming if he didn’t find anything.
Jason explained. “I just started looking into it, and someone already stepped in to stop me. Seems like the guy’s background isn’t simple.
To have someone block the investigation so quickly, it only meant this man wasn’t ordinary.
Ethan had already sensed that when the man aimed the gun at him back at Kingston Heights. The man had mystery written all over him.
Jason suggested, “Maybe you should just ask Ms. Dawson directly?
There was no way they could find out anything now.
