Chapter 85 It Was Still for Lilian
Back before they came to Rivermount, none of those people had been able to lay a finger on her. Note that they were so close, how could he let anything happen to her under his watch?
With that thought, Abel stopped speaking.
Stella had originally planned to take a nap, but then her phone kept ringing with one call after another from the studio.
During the day, it was not appropriate to silence her phone.
After answering Kimmy’s call, another unfamiliar number from Susan came through.
On the phone, Susan was crying so hard she could hardly catch her breath. “Stella, I beg you, please, can you ask Rianne and Eddie to come to the hospital?”
Stella was silent.
Susan’s cries pierced through the phone. “It’s all my fault. Please don’t hate your sister. I wanted to teach you well, but you’re so stubborn, I… I just…”
What was she trying to say?
Susan stuttered, unsure how to continue as she struggled to find the right words.
Stella spoke up, her voice cold. Tm the one with a bad temper? Stubborn?”
“Stella, L” Susan could not finish. She clearly did not know what to say next, given that what she truly cared about was getting Rianne and Eddie to help Lilian.
After everything, it was still for Lilian, and she had swallowed all her pride just for that
Stella’s voice was sharp: “Madam Susan, ever since you found me, I’ve been at the hospital for two months, and I’ve barely spent a month at the Reed mansion. Within that month when I was there, you and Mr. Patrick were almost always out socializing. So, how did you know I had a bad temper and was so stubborn?”
Each word was like a blade cutting through her. Susan was left speechless.
How did i know?
Stella pressed further. “Do you remember the first time you came after me?”
Susan faltered. “What… what do you mean?”
“It was because Lilian had a cut on her wrist. Do you remember what she said to you?” Stella said in a calm voice.
Susan fell silent.
Stella continued, “She said, ‘It’s not Stella’s fault; don’t blame her. And then you lashed out at
Years had passed, but as Stella recounted these details, Susan still remembered them as if it had just happened.
The details matched perfectly, yet hearing it from Stella’s mouth, something felt off. And then, a suffocating feeling crept in.
Stella’s voice was icy. “Did you see me push her?”
Susan’s breath caught.
Stella’s tone was sharp, colder than ever. “You didn’t see me push her. You didn’t even know if her injury was caused by me So why did you assume it?”

Stella’s words hit harder. “Do you remember how many times Lilian said. It’s not Stella’s fault it’s: did she say that?”
Susan’s breathing grew heavier.

How many times
Stella’s voice remained cold. You re not even sure yourself, are you? But remember this. Every time she said that, what did you do to me?”
Her words were quiet, but they weighed heavily on Susan’s heart. What did she do? She had yelled at Stella, blamed her again and again, saying that she was unable to accept Lilian
“Can we stop talking about this now? Stella, she’s in so much pain. You didn’t see her throw up after she came out of the emergency room today. She couldn’t even drink water.” Susan begged, her voice trembling
Stella remained silent.
“Please, just help treat her. How much do I owe you? I’ll repay you okay Every word out of Susan’s mouth dripped with a desperate plea
She wasn’t even pretending anymore. First, she wanted me to treat Lilian, and then only well talk about the debt she owed
Stella’s voice was biting: “Madam Susan, have you forgotten? My life is yours; how could you possibly owe me anything?
These were the words Susan had said to her before. Back then, Susan had been so forceful, using both soft and hard tactics just for Lilian.
A cold smile curled on Stella’s lips. “And now, you know you can’t block my path anymore, even if you cut off my financial support and make sure no company hires me. So now, you’re begging me?”
The phone went silent, only the sound of Susan’s increasingly desperate breathing filling the space.
At that moment, standing at the far end of the hospital corridor, Susan felt her blood surge violently in reverse the instant she heard Stella’s words. It was an unstoppable rush that left her breathless
