The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 87 Ghost from the Crash

Ethan was called several times before he finally snapped out of his daze,

“We’ll still need to find a way to bring Rianne and Eddie back. You know it too. Lilian’s body can’t handle the current treatment plan. It’s just too painful. She can’t bear it!” The moment Susan mentioned Lilian’s suffering, her voice trembled, choked with tears.

Ethan could only nod. “I understand. I’ll go check on Lilian first.”

“Alright, go ahead.” Susan nodded as well, her brows furrowed with irrepressible worry.

Ethan turned and began walking toward the hospital room.

Susan hesitated for a moment, then followed, still muttering about Eddie and Rianne as she caught up.

At the same time, inside the room. Lilian lay weak and pale. Her eyes landed on her phone screen, where an unfamiliar number was flashing.

Her heart gave a sudden, involuntary jolt.

She turned to the caretaker beside her. “Alright, you can leave now.”

“Yes, Ms. Lilian.” The caretaker stopped massaging her legs, stood up, and left respectfully.

Once alone, Lilian finally picked up the call. “Hello?”

“It’s me.” A deep, masculine voice came through the phone. It was mature and familiar.
