Chapter 421 Breaking Point
Ethan had truly cut Lilian off.
Ever since he learned the truth about that car accident, even hearing her name filled him with revulsion.

Lilian couldn’t remember how she made it back to the Reed family estate.
Exhausted and slumped in her wheelchair, she didn’t arrive until 3:30 a.m.
Jonathan was still awake. As she passed his room, she heard him speaking on the phone.
The door was open.
When he saw Lilian, he ended the call immediately. The look in his eyes was distant–devoid of warmth.
“Hey,” she said quietly, her voice laced with pain.
The Reed family was falling apart. Everyone in the house was on edge, drowning in the same storm of uncertainty. But none more so than Lilian.
When the family had thrived, she was the cherished daughter, pampered and adored.
But now, in its ruin, splintered and exposed, she was nothing. With no blood ties to the family and Susan no longer shielding her, all she had left was Jonathan–and even that was fading.
Jonathan’s voice was sharp. “Where did you go?”
“I went to see Ethan,” she admitted, her tone fragile.
“And what did he say?”
“He… didn’t say much.”
What he had said had left her suffocating. She didn’t even have the courage to repeat it.
Jonathan understood the message loud and clear. If Ethan–who should have been the Reed family’s closest ally–refused to help, then Lilian must have truly crossed the line with that accident.
“Get out of my sight,” Jonathan said, eyes shut, his voice laced with bitterness.
Lilian’s heart skipped. “Jonathan…”
“Out.”
That single word–out–hit her like a hammer.
It was over. She was truly finished.
Without Susan, she had no foothold left in this family.
Faced with Jonathan’s barely restrained rage, Lilian dared not push further. Silently, she wheeled herself away.
Alone now, Jonathan clenched his phone, hands trembling.
That crash… Lilian really had orchestrated it.
Stella had nearly died. He remembered visiting her every day while she lay unconscious in the hospital. He had loved her
once.
So… when had that changed?
When had he stopped loving his sister?

Was it when Stella kept confronting Lilian? When she insisted on accountability for the crash?
Between them, he had chosen Lilian–the one he had grown up with.

Far away in Falvaria.
After calling Stella, Tessa went back downstairs to try Silas again from the landline.
Still nothing.
Stella was unreachable. Silas, too–useless in the middle of the night.
Victor’s fever had already spiked to103 F. If it kept climbing, it’d be dangerous.
Tessa was completely frozen in panic.
Back in the bedroom, she leaned over him. “Wake up… Victor, wake up.”
He cracked one dazed eye open and looked at her–but only for a second before drifting off again.
Tessa’s heart sank. If this fever doesn’t break soon, something serious is going to happen.
“Aaagh-!” She could scream.
