Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 217

With Martin's declaration, Sabrina knew better than to say more.

She changed the subject. "The office must be busy, and Brandon and Colin are probably in a bad mood. You should get to the office early to keep an eye on things."

"Absolutely not," Martin insisted. "I promised I'd take you to the hospital today. We're going to get that check-up first. I won't be able to rest until we do."

"I can go to the hospital by myself," Sabrina said. "We have so many maids and bodyguards in the house. I can take them all with me if it makes you feel better. How about that?

As soon as I get the results, I'll let you know. Okay?

Besides, you don't need to worry about me. I'll take care of myself, and if there really is a baby, I'll take care of the baby too.

You should focus on the company first. You can't just focus on the little one and ignore the big ones.

There's nothing that can't be resolved between a father and his sons. A little argument, you just need to talk it out.

Don't let it drag on. If this goes on too long, it'll create a rift between you, and the whole company will be laughing. That wouldn't be good, would it?"

After Sabrina's compelling speech, Martin couldn't argue any further.

He did need to keep an eye on things at the office, but not to reconcile with his sons. He needed to see who was taking sides. If anyone wasn't on his side, he needed to know immediately so he could respond.

Martin wanted to go to the hospital with Sabrina. For him, the pregnancy was the most important thing right now. But Sabrina's repeated refusals, all framed with such considerate logic, convinced him.

"Alright, then you go to the hospital on your own. But you must take people with you. A pregnancy is no small matter; you have to be very careful."

Sabrina smiled. "I know. If it'll make you feel better, I'll take Bella with me. How does that sound?"

Just then, Bella happened to be coming down the stairs. Hearing the conversation, she smiled and said, "Mr. Mercer, if you have things to do, please go ahead. I can make some time to go with Mom."

Martin was instantly relieved. "That's wonderful. Bella, with you there with your mother, I couldn't be more at ease."

"Don't worry, Mr. Mercer," Bella said. "I'll be sure to take good care of Mom for you."

Martin nodded eagerly. After giving Sabrina a few more instructions, he took his briefcase and left.

The moment he was gone, Sabrina's expression fell.

"He still cares more about his company, doesn't he?"

Bella casually picked up a glass of freshly squeezed juice and took a sip.

"At a time like this, of course he should be worried about the company.

Mom, you were very smart to send him there. After all, the company is what brings in the profits.

With the crown princes he groomed himself now on the verge of rebellion, he has to keep an eye on the company.
