He had ordered the fruits for her.
He'd once overheard a doctor say that eating fruits high in vitamin C helped recovery from fevers.
Seeing Abraham enter, Stella was about to hang up the call.
But then, Lilan's desperate voice cthrough the phone: "Stella, it was my fault before. I'm sorry. Please, please letgo." Stella paused What thist Seriously trying to weasel out of paying?" she said lazily.
Lilian really is something-willing to completely throw away her pride just to avoid coughing up the money. Pathetic Stella had no interest in dragging it out. She was about to hang up after getting one last jab in- "Stella, I really know I was wrong Lilian sobbed. "I'll give you back Dad and Mom. I'll leave the Reed family. Please... just don't mess with the hospitals anymore, Please." Hearing that, Stella almost laughed out loud.

What did Lilian think-that everyone else treasured those people like she did? Please Abrahan sat down on the edge of the bed.
He pushed the fruit platter away from her. "Don't eat like that. It's bad for your stomach." Stella pouted.
"You have to control even how I cat? Abraham lified an eyebrow. "Hmm? "Fine, fine, I get it, Stella mumbled, sulking internally.
He's even stricter i than a mont Abraham asked, "Who were you talking to just now?" "Talian," Stella said. “She made a bet with me. Said if she didn't move into Verdant Villa, she'd paya million." Abraham raised an eyebrow. "You need a million" Stella said, "Nope. But a win's a win golta collect.
It wasn't about needing the money.
"That murderer- the one who hit- keeps extorting her for money. Just today, they asked her for a million." Stella's mouth twitched. "And how do you know all that?" Was he having her watched? Right then, Stella was certain-Abraham hadn't just been angry about his own car accident..
He was fierrout Still, something felt off.
Scooting closer, Stella peered up at him. "Abraham, are you hiding something from me?" Abraham glanced at her and ruffled her hair lightly. "What could 1 possibly hide from you?" "Lilian's hospital situation... it was you, wasn't it?" Getting kicked out overnight-and no hospital willing to take her? There was no way that wasn't Abraham's doing Without answering. Abraham scooped her up into his arms, so suddenly she ended up straddling his lap.
"Ahh-T The sharp pain made her gasp.
Abraham immediately frowned when he saw her grimace. "Still hurting? Stella whined. "Be gentle, will you?" It really, really hurt.
"Sorry, Abraham said softly. "I forgot" Stella was speechless, Forgot! Hearing him say that word made Stella shiver.
He better not have forgotten everything from last night! "You're not allowed to forget!" she blurted out.
Thank goodness he hadn't claimed to forget what happened otherwise she wouldn't even have anywhere to lodge a complain She would've lost all footing.
Abraham gently massaged her legs. "Hurting here?" Stella pouted. "It's so sore." It didn't even feel like her own legs anymore.
Abraham continued kneading her tenderly, 'So delicate." Stella sulked.
But after leaving Fleule... she had completely slacked off.
She nodded meekly. "No.."
Abraham said calmly, "Once you're better, one hour of running every day Inside, Stella let out a wail.
One hour!! He's trying to kill me!
But she still stubbornly asked, "So..
