Chapter 37 What Is She Doing There?
Jason brought the news back to Ethan.
When Ethan heard that the people behind it wouldn’t rent or lend it out, and that even the owner couldn’t be tracked down. his expression darkened.
Jason looked serious. After a moment’s thought, he said, “I ran into Ms. Dawson over there”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ethan’s brow tightened.
Jonathan, face grim, walked over just in time to hear that sentence. Where did you see her?”
D’un Stella!
He had knocked at her door in Kingston Heights all morning, but no one answered.
And now he heard Jason say he saw her out and about, looking carefree and relaxed.
Seeing Jonathan approach, Jason spoke respectfully. “Seaflats Cove. Verdant Villa.”
“What’s she doing there!”
As soon as he heard she was at Verdant Villa, Jonathan’s expression changed again.
Is she really planning to cut ties with the Reed family and find a new path there? Is she actually trying to seduce the man behind Verdant Villa? Ha, she sure thinks highly of herself.
Right now in all of Rivermount, there probably weren’t many people who’d still be interested in her.
Just having such a large estate like Verdant Villa in Rivermount said enough about that mysterious owner’s status.
Is Stella trying to seduce him? That’s pure fantasy.
jason said, “Im not sure.”
Back then, Stella didn’t even say a single extra word to him. And with nothing to be learned from Verdant Villa either, there was no way he could’ve known what she was doing there.
Ethan’s face darkened “Find out who the owner is as soon as possible.”
Clearly, he still hadn’t given up.
Lillian said he was afraid. And the truth was, Ethan was afraid too. He was afraid that Lillian wouldn’t make it through this
time.
That was why, during what might be her final days, he wanted to fulfill every one of her wishes.
Seeing Ethan still unwilling to let it go, Jason nodded, a bit frustrated. “Alright.”
Inside the hospital room, Susan had been staying by Lillian’s side the past few days.
Watching Lillian pass out again and again from the pain tore at her heart.
Just as Ethan was about to step forward, his phone rang.
It was a call from Madeline.
“Come home immediately.”
Chapter 37 What Is She Doing There?
Finished
Theard Dr. Rianne not only has a good method for controlling illness, but also a lot of experience easing patient pain. Ethan, Lillian just passed out from the pain again. Her voice trembled with emotion.
Hearing that Rianne was skilled at pain management too made Ethan feel even more that they couldn’t afford to delay bringing her back.
But he’d already been pressuring the hospital director, even calling Rianne himself.
And the result…
Just thinking about Rianne’s cold, forceful tone over the phone, and how she didn’t care at all about his threats, gave Ethan a massive headache.
“Ethan, you have to figure something out. Lillan is suffering too much. Susan said, voice full of pain.
Ethan nodded. “I will. I’ll find a way.”
“And also, Lillian’s body is already like this. Between you two…”
At this point, Susan couldn’t go on.
She had truly hoped that Lillian and Ethan could be together. But now, after all those test results from the doctors, and after watching Lillian suffer over and over again, she knew very well the Keene family would never accept Lillian anymore.
Worse yet, they might even be angered. And when that happened, even with Ethan standing by her, the Reed family’s days wouldn’t be easy.
After weighing everything, Susan took a deep breath. “You need to settle things with Stella. And as for Rianne, no matter what, she has to come back.”
She had originally hoped Ethan would stay with Lillian during this time.
But now, having him here made no difference. He wasn’t a doctor. And the doctor they needed just so happened to be tied to
Stella.
Getting Rianne back was more important now.
When: Ethan heard Stella’s name again, his expression sank.
He didn’t need to guess. He already knew what that call from his mother had been about.
D’mn Stella! That bich even manages to charm all the elders in the family.
An hour later, Ethan returned to the Keene estate. As soon as Madeline saw him, her face twisted in anger.
“What exactly did you promise me yesterday?”
