Chapter 212

Chapter 212

When Sebastian came in, he saw Stephanie on the phone, one of her legs sticking out from under the covers.

It was probably because the room was warm, and she had kicked the blanket off after he left. Without a word, he walked over and covered her up properly.

“Alright, that’s it,” Stephanie said into the phone. She didn’t care how chaotic the Hart residence was at this point. As long as they weren’t having a good time, that was all that mattered.

Noticing her slight smile, Sebastian chuckled. “Is it something about the Hart family?”

“Yeah, Allison sold them some outrageously expensive medicine. I’m guessing the Hart family is in chaos right now,” Stephanie said.

Without Amber, they’d be running around like crazy about getting money. With Amber, they’d be still scrambling, but now over who got the money. The Hart family must be just pure chaos at this point.

Sebastian placed his broad hand on the back of Stephanie’s head, resting it against her forehead. “Stefi, you’re just too kind- hearted.”

To him, the Hart family deserved a brutal punishment. But since they were her blood relatives, Sebastian couldn’t do anything without her permission. Now, however, the entire family was surrounded and locked down. The physical torment and endless internal struggle seemed pretty much the same.

“With her body already in such bad shape, there’s nothing I even need to do,” Stephanie said.

Originally, if Allison hadn’t mentioned Olivia’s poor health, Stephanie would definitely have stepped in. But after learning about Olivia’s actual condition, Stephanie decided she didn’t need to do anything.

“Exactly, and no need for dirty work,” Sebastian said.

“Totally,” Stephanie nodded.

Sebastian looked at her and couldn’t resist giving her a gentle kiss. “Does it feel better after using that ointment earlier?”
