The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 397 Discovery

Patrick wasn’t as easy to talk to. An hour before Susan’s call, he had already learned the truth. He knew everything that had happened in the Reed family over the past few days. Now, facing Susan’s request for money to treat Lillian, he lost all patience. “Susan, are you out of your mind?”

“She’s not even blood–related to us, and she almost got Stella killed.”

Patrick was furious. So much chaos had happened recently in the Reed family. As far as he was concerned, it was all because Susan had mishandled the younger generation.

Her blatant favoritism toward Lillian had led to this mess.

“And you still want to cure her? What the hell are you thinking?”

His anger burst through the phone line, making Susan shudder. Faced with Patrick’s fury, Susan held back for a moment–but then she snapped too.

“So what am I supposed to do? I raised her myself. Am I just supposed to watch her die?”

She couldn’t do it. She really couldn’t. Just thinking about Lillian possibly dying because she couldn’t get the medicine made Susan’s chest tighten with panic.
