The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 212 Lines Crossed

After thinking it through, Susan realized- The Keene family absolutely had the ability to pull something like this off.

The thought made her chest tighten. “Madeline is insane,” she muttered under her breath.

Frantic, Susan rushed to find Ethan.

Ethan hadn’t slept either.

Between the shocking news about Stella and Abraham’s relationship, and everything happening with the Reed Group, he was barely holding it together.

When Susan found him and explained the situation, Ethan’s expression froze. “The entire medical team was pulled?” he repeated.

“Exactly! How could your mother do this? Lilian’s so sick. Is she trying to kill her?”

Hearing that Lilian’s expert team had been dismissed and the hospital was pushing for discharge by morning, a flash of anger crossed Ethan’s eyes.

He immediately called Madeline.

The line didn’t go through. He tried again–still nothing.

Finally, he called the house phone.

The housekeeper answered nervously. “Sir, it’s late… Madam is-”

“Wake her up,” Ethan said coldly, his voice sharp as a knife.

The housekeeper hesitated but had no choice. “Alright. I’ll get her.”

About ten minutes later, a groggy, irritated Madeline came on the line. “Ethan, are you crazy?!”

Dragging her out of bed in the middle of the night? What was wrong with him?

“Lilian’s medical team. You pulled them?” Ethan asked directly, his voice tight with
