“Mmm, so bitter… It really was bitter.
Abraham popped a fruit candy into her mouth. “Better now?”
Stella said. “You’re so busy, you should get going.
He’d said he’d only stay two or three days before heading back to Falvaria. He needed to finish things quickly.
And then there was Tessa. She had suddenly gone to Falvaria. From what Stella had heard on the phone, she was a little uneasy.
“Then try to get some rest. You didn’t sleep well on the plane.” He had practically carried her off by force….
Stella replied. “Okay.”
She wasn’t sure if it was from her injuries or something else, but she felt unusually sleepy. Abraham tucked the blanket around her before quietly leaving the room.
At the Reed family’s home. After checking on Lillian. Rianne said flatly. “Her condition’s deteriorated too far. There’s nothing more I can do.
Susan froze. Lillian did too. They looked at each other, eyes full of grief. In Lillian’s case, there. was also a growing fear of death.
“Mom…” Her voice trembled with anguish as she spoke.
Susan’s heart clenched. “Dr. Rianne, is there really nothing else you can do?” Despite knowing that Lillian had once framed Stella the same way she had framed Rebecca, Susan had still gone all out to save her. When Rianne didn’t respond, Susan continued, “You’re supposed to be a prodigy in the medical field. Everyone says you can bring people back from death. There has to be another way, right?”
Lillian chimed in desperately, “Yes, Dr. Rianne, there has to be something. Please, I don’t want to die.”
It had taken her so long to see a doctor again since being discharged, and now all her hopes
rested on Rianne.
At that moment, she had forgotten that Rianne was Stella’s best friend. She forgot everything she had done to Stella. And Stella… was now the consequence she couldn’t escape.
Rianne said, “There’s one option, but it comes with a steep price.
“What kind of price?”

“For advanced–stage multiple cancers, there’s an experimental drug that can kill cancer cells. quickly. But it’s incredibly expensive, which is why it’s not on the open.
market.”
Susan went silent. Before she could say anything. Lillian jumped in. “How expensive? Whatever it costs, I’ll pay!” She wanted to live. Desperately. She didn’t even think about how expensive it could be just that no matter what, the Reed family would find a way.
Rianne glanced at Lillian, seeing her survival instinct, and the greed she couldn’t hide.
Then she looked at Susan.
Susan said, “What is the drug? No matter the cost, we’ll buy it.”
Right… Rianne thought to herself, this is a foster daughter? No, this is clearly a biological one. Considering how broke the Reed family is now, talking big like that… Really?
Alright then, Rianne said seriously. It costs $700,000 per pill. She needs to take one pill a day for the first week, and then one pill per month for the next two years.”
Susan blinked. “$700,000 a pill?” She stared at her in shock.
Seven pills for the first week, then one each month? That was no small expense.
Rianne nodded. “Yes, $700,000 per pill.”
Susan and Lillian were both stunned.
Even after living a life of privilege, Susan and Lillian were shock at that number. Seven pills in one week. That’s $4.9 million? And then another $700,000 every month af
that?
Even for the Reed family, this was an astronomical price. Susan struggled to breathe as she looked at Rianne. “Is the drug really that expensive?” What kind of mechanism justified that price?
Rianne nodded. “That’s why it’s not publicly available. But most major hospitals can get it, if necessary. But supply is limited, and $700,000 is just the base price. If it goes through intermediaries, it could cost even more.”
Susan fell silent. $700,000 is already outrageous–more than that?
She looked at Lillian, whose eyes were burning with desperation. Unable to bear it, Susan turned away and asked, breathlessly, “Is there no other option?”
It was obvious–getting over $4 million together at once was overwhelming for her.
