Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 323

Martin loved Sabrina’s gentle and attentive nature.

What man wouldn’t?

It was a kind of tenderness that Eleanor Lancaster could never have given him.

“We’re a team, so there’s no need for thanks. Besides, isn’t Bella uncomfortable now that Lillian is back?

But, Sabrina, look… we don’t know if Lillian’s illness can be treated, and it’s been a long time since the whole family was together like this.

Could you talk to Bella and ask her to stay at home until the house is bought and renovated?

Maybe this is a chance for them to repair their relationship as sisters.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the whole family could just get along peacefully?

I’ll talk to Lillian too. I’ve noticed a change in her since she got sick.

Her personality seems to have softened a lot. At the very least, she was willing to compromise and move back home. She probably wants to experience the warmth of family too.

Old Mr. Blake called me, and he also hoped Lillian would come home to recover.

Perhaps he doesn’t know how much time she has left. Since that’s the case, let her feel the warmth of a family.

Bella is part of our family now, too. I hope she can also spend more time at home before she gets married.”

Sabrina nodded. “Alright, I’ll persuade Bella.”

In reality, Bella had no intention of moving out.

Buying a house was just an excuse to get some money from Martin.

But seeing how readily Martin gave her the money, Sabrina thought it was time to start getting him to buy some valuable things for her daughter.

Although Bella had spent a lot of Martin’s money over the years, it was only for basic living expenses and tuition.

That money only ensured their quality of life and Bella’s education.

In all these years, Martin had never really bought Bella anything of significant value.

Even the car Bella drove to work after moving into the Mercer mansion wasn’t new; it was an old car the family had used for years.

However, Sabrina knew how to be patient.

These things weren’t their ultimate goal, so they had endured all this time without asking for anything.

Now that Martin was willing to give, it was naturally a good thing.

***

The next morning, Bella woke up early and called Sabrina to her guest room.

Neither of them went downstairs for breakfast.

“The nerve! Did she really say that to you?”

Bella said, “I wanted to tell you last night, but I saw you and Mr. Mercer went to your room and didn’t come out. That Lillian… she’s insane. How could she make such a demand right after coming back? Does she not understand that you, Mom, are the lady of the Mercer family now?

You should be the one in charge of this house.

What right does she have to forbid you from eating at the table?”
