Chapter 300 Do You Care?
Eddie and Ethan locked eyes.
Eddie said. “Are you here for Star?”
Hearing how Eddie addressed Stella, Ethan felt another wave of pressure in his chest.
Just from how Abraham’s people referred to Stella, it was clear what kind of position she held in the Luke family.
Ethan forced down the discomfort in his chest. “How is she?”
Seeing that Ethan had already heard, Eddie’s face turned serious as he said, “She’s the daughter of the Dawson family. Hersafetyisn’tyour concern.”
Ethan fell silent. Daughter of the Dawson family?
They had once believed she was raised by some rural family–unloved, unwanted, and poorly brought up. But now, she turned out to be one of the daughters of the famous Dawsonfamilyof Falvaria
The Dawson family’s eldest daughter. Marie, often bragged about her sweet little sister, Ms. Dawson.
Eddie added, “Mr. Keene, let me remind you. You don’t deserve Star. The Luke family won’t allow it.”
She was the little princess of the Dawson family. The one called Ms. Dawson in Falvaria, the sister Marie took everywhere. She had never been bullied in her life.
But after coming to Rivermount…
“She has nothing to do with you anymore. Don’t look for her again.
Ethan’s breath hitched. Hearing those words from Eddie, he didn’t know why, but it felt like a chunk had been hollowed out from his chest. No blood, no wound, just pain straight to the bone.
Eddie drove of
Jasonapproachednervously behind Ethan. “Sir, the family doctor called. He said he’s afraid to go to the Reed family”
Right now, over at the Reed family, byth Lillian and Jonathan urgently needed medical help–one seriously ill, the other badly injured.
Butinall of Rivermount, no hospital dared take them in. Not even a single doctor dared to visit.
Ethan had no choice but to go against Madeline’s wishes and send the Keene family’s private doctor over
And now,Abrahamclearly wanted to cut off all paths for the Reed family–and honestly, the Keene family wasn’t doing much.better now.
“Call from Ms. Lillian”
Jason’sphonevibrated. He glanced at the screen and handed it to Ethan.
Ethan took it and answered. Lillian”
“Ethan, I don’tthinkI’mgoing to make it,” Lilliansaidpainfully over the phone.
Her voice was weak–not pretending, but genuinely in pain, struggling.
She truly regretted what she had done to Stella.
Ethan closed his eyes for amoment. “Don’t panic. I’ll. I’ll try to figure something out.”

Not just from her nose–down there too.
Lillianwasterrified. If this dragged on any longer, she would really die..
After hanging up, Ethan went mad again trying to reach Stella, but her phone wouldn’t go through.
Because of recent events, the security team was also on full lockdown.
On the private jet,Abrahamwas already seething with rage when his phone suddenly rang..
Stella was lying in his arms. Hearing the vibration, she pushed him, “Your phone’s ringing
“Leaveit, the man said hoarsely, like his voice had been scorched by fire.
But the phone kept ringing
Stellasaid. Just answer it. It might be important.”
She wasactuallyafraid it was Derrick.
That heartless man hadn’t yet left Pagena’s airspace,
Because Abraham might receive critical communications at any time, his plane had been specially outfitted.
With Stella insisting, he finally got up in frustration, glanced at the screen, it was an unknown number.
He answered. “Speak
One cold word, like a blade to the throat.
“Mr. Abraham, it’s me,” Ethan’s voice came through the phone,
The volume wasn’t low. Stella, still in bed, heard it too.
What the hell? Is Ethan out of his mind?
At the same time,Abraham’sbrow tightened sharply. “What is it?”
The moment he spoke, a dangerousairspread through the signal.
The pressure was so intense,the line fell silent for a second.
Just asAbrahamlost patience andwasaboutto hang up, Ethan spoke again.
“The Reed family is still Stella’s family. Must you really destroy them all? They desperatelyneeda doctor.
Ethan had no choice. He couldn’t reach Stella at all.
She had blocked him before, and now, no borrowed number worked. She had probably changed her number.
Abraham gave a low, mocking laugh.“Family? Star, doyoucare?”
He turnedtoStella,andthe aura in his voice over the phone grew visibly more dangerous,
