Chapter 47 Do You Want Me to Coax You?
Susan didn’t believe it. This time, there was no way Stella could keep pretending to be tough
For the past few years, she had lived off the Reed family’s money, and still acted our so recklessly. It was all because they had spoilest her.
So just like that, Susan and Jonathan made up their minds. They absolutely wouldn’t give Stella any more cards, and not a single cent more.
No matter what, this time, they were going to wait until Stella came to them and begged,
And when that happened, Stella would have to agree to all their conditions, like letting Rianne come back, and also making Eiklie agree to treat Lillian’s illness.
Inside the hospital room, on the other side. Ethan looked at Lillian’s pale, weak face, then glances at the small table beside her bed where her food tray sat almost uustouched.
“You don’t eat!”
Lillian said, “The smell of disinfectant is too strong. I couldn’t stomach it.
It was the truth. When someone felt sick, everything tasted like nothing. And with her condition now, she needed absolutely Island food.
The smell of disinfectant made her feel like throwing up.
“Eihan, can you let me leave the hospital?” she pleaded 1 told Mom, but she won’t let me. This place really makes me feel hopeless. Ethan. I want to leave
Every time the doctor came to check her and looked at her reports, he always sighed and shook his head.
At those times, Lillian truly felt like she might never walk out of the hospital alive.
She was terrified.
“Then should I transfer you to another hospital?‘ Ethan asked gently, full of pity.
of pity
Lillian shook her head, “No, I don’t want to stay in a hospital at all. I really want to leave. I’m really scared, Ethan, do you know that? Every day here. I feel like death is right next to me. I feel like it could take me any second.”
That constant feeling that her life could slip away at any moment. It suffocated her. She was truly afraid.
“Don’t say things like that Ethan said.
“I mean it, Ethan. You don’t understand. Every time the pain hits, I honestly wonder if I’ll ever get to see the sky outside.
Only people who were truly terminally ill knew this feeling.
That fear of dying in the hospital at any moment was unbearable.
Looking into Lillian’s eyes, filled with despair. Ethan reached out and held her hand tightly. “Don’t worry. I’ll take you out of
hete
“Really?”
“Yeals Jason’s already handling it. Once everything’s arranged, I’ll take you out. You’ll see the sunrise and sunset every day.”

At that moment, Ethan’s mind flashed again with the image of Verdant Villa in Seaflate Cove,
He had to get that place no matter what.
Finished
After leaving the hospital, Ethan told Jason to go inquire again. This time, no matter what it took, they had to get Seaflats
Cove.
When Jason heard that it was about that place again, he couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on.
The owner has already made it clear. He won’t sell and won’t rent”
No selling no renting. Zero chance. Going again would just be another dead end, Jason thought.
Ethan said. “Even if it takes double or triple the market price, just buy it.”
Jason was stunned. That place was already worth billions. If they paid two or three times that……
“Why are you still standing here?”
Ethan’s icy tone snapped Jason back to reality. He quickly nodded. “Alright. I’ll go tomorrow!
It was late at night anyway. Even if he went now, he wouldn’t be able to meet the owner.
Meanwhile, after dinner, Stella took a shower and then lay on the chaise in her room, sketching.
A knock came at the door. Without lifting her head, she said, “Come in.
Abraham walked in with a glass of milk.
Seeing that Stella was drawing, he stepped forward and placed the milk on the small table beside her.
He leaned in for a closer look.
“What’s this?”
Stella said, “Work drafts. I’m doing some of the key parts myself.”
Abraham simply reached out and pulled the pencil from her hand. “It’s late. Drink your milk and go to sleep.
Stella still wanted to draw a bit more and reached out to grab the pencil back.
But the next second, Abraham grabbed her wrist. His burning skin made her flinch like she had touched electricity, instinctively trying to pull away.
But he held on tight, leaving her nowhere to escape..
Especially when she looked up and met his deep, dark eyes, Stella’s heart skipped a beat, “Abraham…”
Abraham said. “Do you want me to coax you?”
Stella’s mind exploded
“No no need”
Even her tone became stuttered.
What is this man even saying? How old am I now? Why would I ever need to be coated?
