The Wrong Girl and the Wronged Girl (Stella and Ethan) novel Chapter 241

Chapter 241 No Way Out

The truth was, Patrick had never supported Lilian’s return in the first place.

When she called from abroad saying she was sick, he had suggested she stay there for treatment.

But Susan had insisted Lilian should come back that it would be better to have family around to look after her.

If he had known her return would bring them to this mess, no matter what Susan said, he would have refused.

Thinking about the company’s massive losses now, Patrick’s face darkened even further.

And more than that, he was starting to realize the Lilian they had raised under their roof might not be as simple as they had thought.

Patrick looked at Jonathan and said coldly. You take care of it

Jonathan nodded. “Alright.”

The family quickly settled on the decision to send Lilian abroad for treatment.

Before they could move, however, Patrick received another urgent call from the company.

He had to leave immediately.

Before going, he barked an order at Jonathan: “Stay home tonight.”

Jonathan had no objections. He wasn’t at ease leaving Lilian alone anyway.

Jonathan went to Lilian’s room.

It had only been a single day, but Lilian already looked like she had withered.

“You finally came,” she croaked, her voice choked with tears utterly pitiful.

In the hospital, she’d been surrounded by care. Now, she was stuck with Susan, who was a panicked mess and useless to boot

No doctors. No nurses. No comfort.

Jonathan frowned as he looked at her face – he didn’t even have to ask to know how bad her condition had

“Did you take your medicine?” he asked, his voice tight.

At the mention of it. Lilian’s body trembled. “It hurts so much… The medicine doesn’t work at all… Am I going to die?”

She could barely get the words out between sobs.

“I can’t eat anything… It hurts too much…

Tears streamed down her pale face.

“Can’t we find a specialist? Someone to come to the house and treat me?”

She really couldn’t stand it anymore. The oral medication they had brought home was nothing compared to the hospital

treatments. It was almost useless.

Jonathan’s expression stiffened.

The thought of Stella forcing the Reed family into such desperation in just a few days made his chest tighten with anger.

Now even getting Lilian a hospital bed in Rivermount had become impossible.

When Lilian heard the word “abroad.” her pupils shrank. “Abroad?”

Jonathan nodded. “Yes. Things are… complicated here. Your mother’s already called every doctor she could think of. No one will come

“The Luke family. They’re willing to go this far for Stella?” Lilian murmured, disbelief in her voice. “She’s just a foster daughter. How could she possibly-

She cut herself off mid–sentence.

No–she couldn’t let Jonathan and the others start thinking down that path.

If they went and angered Stella even more, the consequences would only get worse for her.

But it was already too late.

Jonathan’s mind had turned cold.

Just a foster daughter… yet Mr. Abraham is willing to tear the city apart for her. What trick did Stella pull?

Lilian thought about the current situation, gritting her teeth.

In the end, she nodded,

Tll go abroad.”

For now

she had no choice but to concede.

Stella. just wait. When I’m healed we’ll settle this.

Jonathan nodded. “I’ll arrange everything right away.”
