Chapter 369 Lillian’s Attitude
Finished
Lillian sat on the sofa, her arm propped under her head in a lazy posture, but her eyes were
Ms. sharp as they locked onto Ariana. Her voice was cold as she asked, “I didn’t expect Whitmore to be so loyal to her friends. Truly, I should be touched by such devotion.
But tell me knowing Sebastian already has a fiancée, why would you still help Triny plot against him? What were you thinking? Or is it that you hold some kind of grudge against me p>
“I… I didn’t think that far ahead. I’m truly sorry. It was my rashness that let things spiral out of control,” Ariana whispered.
Lillian looked at her steadily, her tone slow and cutting. “There’s no need to apologize to me. The moment you tricked Sebastian away, the moment you agreed to help Triny, you no longer saw him as family.
And since you didn’t treat him as family, then from this day on, don’t call yourself his cousin. I worry that this so-called cousin might one day once again place her so-called friendship above his safety, and drag him into danger p>
Ariana froze, then turned pleading eyes toward Evan.
Evan’s face tightened with discomfort. With a heavy sigh, he said, “Lillian, for my sake, let Ariana off just this once. She was manipulated, pushed into becoming an accomplice. If she had known the consequences, I’m sure she never would have done it p>
Lillian rose to her feet and walked to the window. Outside, the storm raged, trees bending violently in the wind. Her expression was pained as she said, “Do you know what drug was used on Sebastian? It was a neurotoxin-one that causes hallucinations, strips a person of control, and can irreversibly damage the nervous system.
Do you know why he bled so much yesterday? Because he cut himself open just to stay conscious. Do you know what state he was in when we found him? Already in shock. If we had been even a little later, he might never have woken up again p>
She drew in a deep, shaky breath. It took everything in her to suppress the fury boiling inside. Each time she recalled Sebastian lying unconscious, she felt she could strangle the woman sitting before her.
Evan and Ariana were struck silent, both horrified at the severity of Sebastian’s condition.
Lillian turned, taking in their stricken faces with a cold laugh. “So, should I just let it Accept Ariana’s so-called apology p>
go
now?
Her words left Evan speechless. For once, he couldn’t summon another polished excuse.

Ariana’s voice trembled as she asked, “Then… then may I at least see Sebastian? I want to apologize to him face-to-face p>
But Lillian’s eyes darkened, her voice laced with pain as she refused. “I’m sorry. That’s impossible. He’s still unconscious p>
Finished
Evan stood after a moment of silence, his tone grave. “Let’s go. We’re leaving.” He turned and headed for the door.
Ariana looked back at Lillian, as though she wanted to speak, but in the end, she said nothing. and followed Evan out.
Lillian watched their retreating figures. She knew Evan wasn’t wrong. But with the image of Sebastian lying pale and unresponsive still seared into her mind, forgiveness was impossible.
It wasn’t until noon that Sebastian finally stirred awake.
Opening his eyes, he saw the girl by his bedside, her eyes red and swollen from crying. Weakly lifting his arm, he brushed her cheek with his hand. “I’m sorry. I promised you I wouldn’t make you cry again. But it looks like… I’ve failed you once more p>
