Chapter 385

Hat Amber knew exactly what she was thinking: “What? Regretting not getting rid of me sooner? No wonder Olivia turned out like this. You raised her to use these tactics on Stephanie, and you still think it’s okay? Shows how little family means to you.”

Catlin’s whole body was trembling with rage. “Have you said enough? If so, shut your mouth.”

Amber insisted, “Check on Tyler first.” She was firm. Tyler might be a jerk, but if Tyler was out of the picture, no one would support their son.

Catlin felt dizzy with frustration. She had no choice but to let Allison take a look at Tyler’s injury. The hospital wouldn’t admit him, and no doctor dared to visit. Sebastian was ruthless; he had cut off every escape route for the Hart family. The company was shut down, and even basic medical care at home was out of reach.

Allison examined the wound and said, “It’s completely infected. You need to get to a hospital as soon as possible.”

Catlin and Amber exchanged uneasy glances. The mere mention of the hospital made their faces pale.

“Can you prescribe some medicine?” Catlin asked cautiously, not wanting to offend the only doctor who had recently visited the Hart residence.

Allison shook her head. “I can’t.”

“You’re a doctor. How can you not prescribe medicine?” Amber’s voice rose in desperation.

Allison’s expression was firm. “I just can’t.”

Amber’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Catlin stepped in, her voice softening. “Ms. Pierce, we really have no other options—”

“Let’s go check on Olivia first,” Allison interrupted abruptly. She wouldn’t have come if not for Stephanie’s request. She had no patience for this. She had seen how terrible Tyler had been before. He had repeatedly put Stefi’s life at risk for Olivia. Even if there was medicine, she wouldn’t give it to him. He deserved to lose his hand completely.

“Alright,” Catlin said, seeing Allison’s impatience. She didn’t dare say anything more and immediately led her to Olivia’s room.

Amber turned to Tyler. “If it weren’t for me pushing for it, she would only think about her adopted daughter.”

“Shut up,” Tyler snapped, his anger boiling over. Amber and Catlin had been causing so much trouble lately, and even laid a hand on Olivia. “First, it was Stephanie turning the place upside down, and now it’s you. Can I catch a break?” Tyler shouted, his breathing growing rapid just thinking about what Allison had said.

Amber’s mouth twitched. “Hey, can you be more ungrateful? How is it my fault the house ended up like this? Wait a minute. Are you siding with Olivia now?”

Her temper flaring again, Amber didn’t care about Tyler’s injuries and slapped him across the face. “Idiot, are you blind or something?”

Tyler’s face stung, and he glared at Amber. “Are you out of your mind?”

Chapter 185

“Yes, I’m crazy. Didn’t you all drive Stephanie crazy this way too! You jerk,” Amber retorted.

Amber was furious. She had only been living here for a short while, and how many times had Olivia caused… of figuring out what Olivia did wrong, it somehow murned out to be Amber’s fault.

With her temper flaring, Amber went on a rampage, wrecking the room. “I’m not like Stephanie. She was only too posh around and just moved out when you were mean to her.”

“I’m telling you, I’m not moving! You don’t get it, do you? No problem, if I’m having a hard time, then none of you will have it easy either.”

Tyler was about to lose it too. “Are you done? We push you around? Just look how tough and mean you are?”

“What a joke to say Stephanie is easy to bully. If she were that easy to push around, would my hand look like this? How did Chris get all those injuries? Bitches. Act weak only after getting their way,” he thought with anger.

Back at Shallow Bay, Stephanie couldn’t help but notice the changes. The entire security team had been replaced, and reinforcements had been added. It was like a fortress now. Even the damage from earlier had been swiftly repaired, as if nothing had ever happened.

The servants moved with quiet efficiency, taking Stephanie’s things to her room and tidying up. She had barely settled into bed when there was a knock at the door.

The servant opened it, exchanged a few words, and then turned back. “Ms. Giovanni, Mr. Giovanni has arranged for a female doctor to give you a check-up.”

Stephanie’s heart sank—a check-up? She knew exactly what that meant. Her face burned with embarrassment. “No, really, it’s not necessary,” she mumbled, her voice barely above a whisper.

The servant hesitated, clearly torn. “The doctor said Mr. Giovanni insisted on seeing the injury properly.”

Stephanie shook her head, feeling a wave of discomfort wash over her. “I’m fine,” she insisted, her voice small. Even with a female doctor, the thought of being examined made her feel vulnerable.

The servant sighed softly, knowing she couldn’t force the issue. She nodded and went back to the door to pass the message along.

But moments later, Sebastian was back in the room. He gently pulled back the covers and lifted Stephanie into a sitting position. “Come on, be a good girl. The doctor needs to take a look,” he said softly, his eyes gentle but insistent.

“No.” Stephanie muttered.

Sebastian sighed, running a hand through her hair. “How about you just close your eyes? You don’t have to look, doctor,” he suggested, his voice soothing.

Stephanie’s eyes widened in confusion.

“Just hide under the blanket. Let the doctor take a quick look. It’ll be over in a second,” Sebastian explained, his tone reassuring.

Stephanie’s eyes widened in shock again.
