Chapter 1590 Ste faked to be fine
Erin’s ashes were brought back to the country by the Thomas family. ording to news from Imperial
Capital, Karen treated this stepson with genuine affection. Thomas angrily criticized Erin for bringing
shame to the family and refused to hold a grand funeral. Karen argued with Thomas, saying that even.
if Erin had a bad reputation, he was still part of the Simpson family and deserved a grand funeral.
In the end, Thomas was unable to resist Karen’s insistence and handed over the funeral arrangements
to her. People who came to pay their respects from the Simpson family said that Karen knelt in front of
Erin’s portrait and cried hysterically, almost fainting. People in the Imperial Capital circle spread rumors
that Karen was the best stepmother and Erin was an ungrateful stepson.
When Ste heard these rumors, she was injecting medication and continued her actions without
pause, showing no significant change in expression. It seemed that she had no emotional attachment
to the deceased person and simply brushed it off as background noise.
After returning from Panama and arranging for Henry to be hospitalized for recovery, Ste took care of
him while still working her regr job without missing a beat, just as she did before. Initially, Amelia and
Eva were worried that Ste would be excessively saddened by Erin’s death. However, to their
surprise, as soon as she returned, she put on her white coat and started working. Whether Erin was
mentioned or not, she had a cheerful demeanor. It seemed that Erin’s absence was a relief to

Amelia and Eva saw her
like this and didn’t ask much further. They only instructed her to reach out to them if she needed
anything. They promised to help her whenever she needed it. Ste nodded and let them go about their
own business.
Amelia had to rush to work on her design ns, and Eva had to manage the night club. They were both
busy, and Ste had already caused them enough trouble during this time. Naturally, she wouldn’t have
them worry further.
After flicking the syringe, Ste bent down, smiling andforting a child while secretly giving the child
an injection when they weren’t paying attention.
The child initially smiled at her, but when she removed the syringe, the child burst into tears. The
parents nearbyforted the child, and Ste smiled as she patted the child’s head. She even
performed a magic trick, pulling out a lollipop from her pocket and handing it to the child.
The child took the lollipop and not only stopped crying but also. behaved obediently, saying thank you.
Ste once again patted the child’s head before leaving the ward with a smile.
Once she left the ward, her smile suddenly froze, and the world spun around her. She quickly reached
out and grabbed the wall, trembling fingers feeling for her white coat, searching for her medication
bottle…
In her mind, she shed images of shooting Erin and Erin slumped against the floor-to-ceiling window,
blood flowing from his body. These gruesome images caused her to feel on the verge of a breakdown,
and she had to rely on medication to forget
After finding the medication bottle, she poured out a pill, trembling as she ced it in her mouth and
swallowed it.
After taking the pill, she leaned against the wall, waiting for her emotions to calm down. A doctor
approached her.
“Director, are you okay?”
During this period, she had been working tirelessly, helping out in neurosurgery, internal medicine, and
anything else that needed assistance. Now she even personally came to the children’s department.
“I’m fine.”
Ste waved her hand, telling the doctor to focus on their own tasks, and then she mustered up her
tired body and returned to Henry’s room.
