Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 243

The other voice, however, relentlessly pushed him to focus on his business. She was sick, yes, but she was also getting treatment. He could stabilize the company first and look into her situation later. It wouldn't be too late.

As the two sides battled in his mind, for a fleeting moment, he wanted to slam on the gas and speed to the prison where Lillian had been held to get answers.

But when he reached the fork in the road, he jerked the steering wheel toward his office.

The battle in his head was over. The voice of ambition had won.

As he drove toward the company headquarters, Brandon made a promise to himself. Once he sorted things out at work, he would investigate properly. He would show his concern for Lillian then.

He told himself he was a model brother. Despite being angry that she sold the shares to outsiders, he wasn't holding a grudge. In fact, he was still concerned about her. Who could be a better brother than him?

Brandon decided that as long as he cared for his sister in his heart, tending to his business first before showing that concern didn't make him a bad person.

With that, he went to work with a clear conscience.

She held no expectations, not even a sliver of hope.

She had told Brandon everything—about her illness and the mistreatment she had endured in prison. But she knew him well. At this critical juncture, he would always choose his career.
