Chapter 345 Run!
Seeing
her smile, Abraham chuckled. “More Reed family news?”

Stella nodded. “Rianne prescribed them a seven–figure miracle drug. The whole house must be at
ness now.
Without Rebecca, they’d go crazy from not having the money. With Rebecca, they’d go crazy fighting over it. Either way, chaos.
Abraham rested his large hand behind her head, pressing his forehead gently to hers. “You’re still too soft–hearted”
Those people deserved to be torn apart. But since they were her relatives by blood, Abraham I couldn’t take harsh action without her say so. Still, with the Reed family already boxed in from
every side, their internal suffering was no less than physical punishment.
Stella said. “With that wreck of a body, I don’t even need to lift a finger.”
If Rianne hadn’t told her how bad Lillian’s health was, she would’ve taken action herself. But now that she knew the truth? No need to bother.
Abraham agreed. “Not worth getting your hands dirty.
“Exactly. Stella nodded.
Looking at her so calm and obedient, Abraham leaned down and kissed her. “Did the ointment help? Feeling any better?”
“What are you trying to do now!
“Relax. I’m not doing anything.” The doctor had told him Stella needed to rest and recover. No strenuous activity allowed.
She didn’t believe him. She grabbed his shirt. “Swear it.”
Abraham caught her warm little hand and squeezed it. “Alright, I swear.”
Stella quickly pulled her hand back and mumbled, clearly unconvinced.
Back in Falvaria, Tessa stepped off the plane empty–handed, with Wesley by her side. As they walked toward the exit. Wesley remained unusually alert, scanning every passerby. Tessa leaned in and whispered. “We’re already in Falvaria, and you’re still this tense?”
From the moment Wesley picked her up in Rivermount, she’d been on edge, like something bad was about to happen. Even now, in Falvaria,
Wesley said: “We need to get to the estate fast”

“And then what? Judging by the way you’re acting, I won’t be allowed to leave the house?”

Honestly, that seemed likely. Wesley nodded. “Ms. Diana said until she contacts us, you’re to stay inside Highspire Ridge.”
Tessa’s mouth twitched. Her unease deepened. “What exactly happened to my mom?”
Wesley only said, “We’ll talk later.”
The airport wasn’t the place to explain. She grabbed Tessa’s bag and quickly ushered her toward the exit. But the thing Wesley had feared… happened. As they passed a restroom, two men in dark hats looked their way–eyes sharp and dangerous. Wesley’s instincts kicked in when she locked eyes with one of them, and her breath caught.
“Run.” She shoved Tessa forward with force. Tessa had been wondering what her mother had. gotten into–then suddenly stumbled from Wesley’s push. That word hit like a thunderclap. Without thinking, she took off.
Wesley wanted to help her up, but Tessa was already up and sprinting like the wind.
Wesley was speechless.
“There they are! Get them!”
The two men had recognized them and were now in pursuit. Wesley kicked off her low heels and ran after Tessa.
Diana had said once they reached Falvaria, they’d be safe. Wesley had doubted it–and rightly so.
“Stop! Stop!” The men yelled behind them as Wesley sprinted, bumping into several people along the way. But up ahead, Tessa had vanished.
Wesley was speechless. It turned out the one in danger… was her. Tessa ran like a maniac. After several long blocks, she finally stopped to catch her breath and looked back… Nothing. Just regular travelers strolling out of the airport.
Wesley was gone.
“Huh?” Why had Wesley told her to run? She hadn’t seen the two men at all;
just heard Wesley shout and reacted instinctively.
