Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 189

Ethan smiled as well. "Of course. Our young master is amazing. If he weren't sick, he would be even more incredible.

Many people can't compare to him. His achievements would have been even greater."

Lillian agreed.

Just as Lillian was heading in, someone came to inform them that Sebastian and his group had arrived.

Bella had expected to run into Lillian at the airport yesterday but was surprised when she didn't. Today, at the lab, she finally saw her.

Dressed in casual, loose-fitting clothes and looking refreshed, it was clear Lillian had rested well.

"Lillian, you're here so early. Are we late?"

Bella held Noah's hand, acting for all the world like she was his mother. An outsider would have had a hard time telling who the real mother was.

Lillian's gaze first fell on Noah. The boy still showed little emotion towards her.

He glanced at her, then awkwardly tightened his grip on Bella's hand.

Lillian had long since stopped forcing the issue.

If her own son had no feelings for her, insisting on it would only be pathetic.

"Late or not, can't you tell time yourself? Do you need me to tell you?" Lillian retorted.

The smile on Bella's face froze.

Sebastian stepped in. "Noah is here. Let's start the tests for him and me."

Lillian looked at Ethan.

Ethan conferred with the lab staff, and then several people in white coats came over to lead the way. "The three of you will be going to different examination rooms. Please follow us. Also, someone needs to look after the child. Who will it be?"

"I'll look after Noah," Bella said without hesitation.

Sebastian also had to undergo tests, so he couldn't watch Noah.

Bella had come along under the pretext of taking care of Noah, so she immediately stepped up.

Noah also preferred her care, and he held her hand as they followed the staff.

"Ms. Mercer, I'll be waiting for you outside," Ethan said.

Lillian nodded and followed the staff to her examination room.

It was a grueling three hours later when it was all over.

Sebastian was the first to emerge from his room. He immediately went to check on Noah. The boy hadn't come out yet, and Bella was waiting outside.

"Sebastian, you're done. How did it go?"

"I've finished the procedures, but I don't have the results yet. How's Noah?"

Bella smiled. "Noah has been very good. He was very brave during the procedures I could be with him for. And for the ones I couldn't, he went in without a fuss. He's been a very good boy."

"Did they say how much longer it would be?" Sebastian asked.

"I don't know yet. Noah's situation is probably quite complicated, so they might need more time. Don't worry, they're all very experienced doctors."

"Alright. I'm going to go check on Lillian."

As soon as she heard this, Bella quickly grabbed his arm. "Lillian has her assistant with her. I'm sure she's fine.

Her assistant seems to know the people at this lab very well, so they'll probably give Lillian special treatment.
