Chapter 86 Desperation Has No Leverage
On the other end of the line. Stella laughed coldly when Susan did not reply. You want to make up for what you did? If Lilian really gets better. then that’s when you’ll come to settle the score with me, right?”
She knew these people all too well. After all, it was not the first time they had tried to make her responsible for everything concerning Lilian
Lilian certainly had some skills. Even while abroad, these people would still come after her because of Lilian
It always came back to the same phrase. It’s not Stella’s fault: it’s my fault” What did she mean by it’s not Stella’s fault? As if it was just her fault.
But as long as she said it, these people would always assume it was Stella who could not accept Lilian, and they would come
after her.
Susan became frantic. “No, no, I’m truly apologizing now.”
Stella’s voice was cutting: “What do you mean? What you did for Lilian was always sincere, right?”
Susan froze. When she heard Stella’s words, she became even more anxious.
She had completely forgotten about the manipulative remarks Stella had made carlier. All she remembered now was that- Stella still refused to agree.
She refused to let Rianne and Eddie treat Lilian.
Then what do you want?” Susan’s voice began to break, a sense of panic creeping in.
Stella’s voice was emotionless: “She died her own death, and I live my life. What can I do to her?”
Then, she hung up the phone, leaving Susan to feel the weight of her coldness.
Stella, now thoroughly frustrated, was about to leave the room when a knock came at the door. “Come in.”
The door opened, and Abraham stepped in, his tall, refined figure filling the doorway. He was already dressed in his coat, obviously preparing to go out.
“You didn’t take a nap!” he asked, furrowing his brow.
Stella nodded v
“Are you going out?” she asked, curious.
Abraham gave a small nod. “I need to step out for a
a bit. I should be back in time for dinner. Be good and take a nap.
When Stella heard he would be back for dinner, her mood lightened instantly, shaking off the frustration from the phone
call
It didn’t matter. Those people weren’t important. Why should I be upset over them?
With that thought, she felt much better.
Abraham talked to her a bit more before leaving
Meanwhile, in the hospital corridor, Susan was still seething with anger, barely recovering after several minutes.
She was about to head back to the ward when she bumped into Ethan.
Seeing him, Susan’s heart sank. “Ethan, Lilian’s in so much pain.” she said, her voice full of worry.

So every time she saw Lilian in unbearable agony, Susan only grew more determined to bring Rianne and Eddie into her treatment plan
Ethan sighed, a bit helpless. “I know.”
Given all her conditions, how could she not be in pain? She was undoubtedly suffering.
Susan’s worry did not subside. “We need to get Eddie and Rianne to treat her. I’m really worried she won’t make it through.”
She was terrified that Lilian would not survive the pain.
Ethan replied, “If they join, their treatments would likely be similar.”
He did not see why Lilian should be free of all pain at this point. The reality was that her condition was already critical.
Susan shook her head. “No, they’re more skilled; their reputations are excellent. They’ll ease her pain for sure. Ethan, please, you have to find a way. Stella’s heartless. No matter what I say, she won’t agree.”
Her frustration was palpable.
When Ethan heard the mention of Stella, his gaze darkened. He did not respond immediately, but as Susan continued to speak, he tuned out her words.
“Ethan? Ethan?” Realizing something was off, Susan looked at him and saw him lost in thought.
