Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 38

As soon as Martin recovered, he rushed to help her up, but Sabrina pushed his hand away. “Martin, don’t stop me.” Then, turning to Lillian, she said, “Lillian, I know you don’t like me, but your father and I are truly in love. I know this is unfair to your mother.

Don’t worry, as long as I’m alive, I will take care of your mother in her old age. If she ever regains her senses, I will pack my bags and leave this house immediately, giving her back her rightful place.

Lillian, just think of me as a maid in this house. From now on, whatever you want to eat, drink, or do, just order me around, alright?”

Watching his beloved woman grovel before Lillian, Martin felt a mix of simmering rage and immense warmth. In contrast, his own daughter was an absolute monster. An elder was kneeling before her, and she just sat there, unmoved. If he didn't need something from her, Martin would have slapped her across the face to teach her some respect.

Meanwhile, Bella had a servant take Noah away. Then, she too poured a glass of liquor and knelt before Lillian with a thud. Raising her glass, she said, “Lillian, your willingness to come home means you’re not angry with me anymore, right?”

Lillian replied, “That I’m angry with you? What, for instance, would I be angry about?”

Bella hadn’t expected this. She and her mother were just making a gesture, but Lillian was sitting there firmly, showing no intention of telling them to get up. It was outrageous! But she suppressed her anger.

If they could connect with the Montrose family from Sevria Bay, it would be immensely beneficial for her career.

Bella continued, “The incident two years ago was my fault too. I shouldn’t have argued with you and caused harm to old Mrs. Mercer. At the time, a crucial company project couldn’t proceed without me, so I had to let you take the fall. I’m sorry.

From now on, if you need anything, just say the word. I would go through fire and water for you, Lillian.”

Lillian said flatly, “Then have a child for me.”

Bella froze. What kind of absurd request was that?

“I’ve already proposed a divorce to Sebastian,” Lillian explained. “After the divorce, he can marry you officially. It would be perfect. You could save Noah, and I would donate the egg.”

Bella’s face turned ugly. Was Lillian suggesting she become her surrogate? As a successful, independent woman, how could she possibly do something like that for her? Lillian was insane!

Seeing the dark expressions on both Sabrina’s and Bella’s faces, Martin quickly stepped in. “Lillian, let’s not talk about this today. Sabrina, Bella, both of you get up. Today is a happy occasion, let’s not discuss these things.”

Lillian turned back to her plate, picked up some food, tasted it, and finding it unpalatable, spat it onto her side dish. Meanwhile, Sabrina and Bella exchanged a look: Did we kneel for nothing?

Sabrina’s eyes offered Bella a comforting look, as if to say, we’ll settle this score later.

Martin thought that since Lillian was eating, she must be in a decent mood. He decided to circle around to the main topic.

“Lillian, I heard you went to the hospital today. Are you feeling unwell?”

Lillian looked up. So, the moment of truth had arrived. The hospital? Was this related to Leonard?
