Ste listened to the hint of schadenfreude in Susanna''s voice and thought for a moment before saying, "Probably because of the millions in medical bills." Susanna eximed, "Millions? For medical bills?"


    Was that for real?


    "Did they find a way to save Urs? Oh dear, please don''t let her get a chance to survive."


    Someone like Urs deserved to be tormented and meet her end in agony.


    Ste replied, "Sort of."


    Susanna addressed, "Oh? They actually found something?" Her voice was tinged with disappointment.


    Ste continued, "But finding it is pretty much the same as not finding it. It''s just a glimmer of hope."


    And what awaited them was an even bigger despair.


    Susanna urged, "Spill it clearly, and all at once, don''t keep me on this emotional rollercoaster. My heart can''t take it."


    Seeing how eager Susanna was, Ste couldn''t help but chuckle, "Tegan came back home. She went to visit the Larkin family and take a look at Urs." "Wait, why did she visit Urs? What actually happened during my absence? Why would Tegan want to see Urs?"


    Susanna was getting worked up, even a bit angry.


    The Larkin family had been backed into a cornertely, with no way in or out. They couldn''t get into the hospital, and doctors wouldn''t visit them either.


    In Susanna''s eyes, this was karma for the Larkin family, and they deserved it. But now Ste was saying Tegan went to check Urs?


    Susanna wasn''t happy about it.


    Ste realized Susanna misunderstood and exined everything that happened. "Why are you getting upset? Do you really think Tegan needs their little bit of medical money?"


    Then she exined the whole situation. Basically, Tegan didn''t want to go, but Ste, feeling a bit bored, convinced her to make the trip. And Tegan''s visit actually gave the Larkin family a shred of hope, but it came with a staggering price tag. When Susanna heard about the pills costing five hundred thousand each, to be taken over a week, she was utterly stunned!


    What kind of medicine cost that much?


    "3.5 million? What on earth did Tegan say about a drug that expensive? Who can afford that?"


    Ste shrugged, "I don''t know what kind of drug it is, but she said it''s real."


    Susanna was incredulous. It actually existed?


    "Is she pulling the Larkin family''s leg?"


    Even if such a drug existed, it couldn''t possibly be that outrageously expensive, she presumed.


    Ste replied, "I don''t know if she''s bluffing, but with the way L is acting, the Larkin family probably believes it." Susanna took a sharp breath.


    "How did we not notice Tegan could fool people like this? Does the Larkin family even have 3.5 million to treat Urs?" The Larkin family had been trapped with no way to survive or even find a way out.


    Ronald''s directive had effectively blocked every path for the Larkin Group, pushing it to the brink of bankruptcy.


    Maybe ise sensed something was wrong and siphoned off some funds, but it surely wasn''t enough to treat Urs. He had another family to support outside.


    Ste mused, "If they had that kind of money, the Larkin family wouldn''t be in this mess, right?"


    Susanna agreed, "True. With L raising such a ruckus, Cloudia is probably trying to grab whatever money Jaxon has."


    They were just trying to gather


    whatever they could. This was truly a case of sacrificing everything to save Urs. What a touching familymitted story.


    Ste added, "So that''s probably why L is causing such a stir."


    Susanna replied, "Alright."


    Good for her. They had


    underestimated L before, thinking. she couldn''t fight back. After all, the Larkin family had always been united. Even Ste, who was rted


    née


    by blood, had been marginalized by them, let alone L, an outsider.


    Ste said, "Alright, enough about the Larkin family. Where are you right now? Do you need me to send someone to pick you up?"


    "You can''t pick me up."


    Ste responded, "Huh?"


    Susanna exined, "I''m at Hull''s vi. He won''t let me leave."


    Ste was shocked.


    Hull didn''t allow her to leave? What did that mean?


    Ste, who usually wasn''t very curious, found herself intrigued. "Girl, spill the beans. What''s going on?"


    How long had it been? Susanna and Hull''s rtionship seemed to be getting more and more baffling.
