Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 325

“Ms. Mercer, are you just playing games by moving back home? With your current energy levels, is this really appropriate? Maybe you should reconsider.

Mr. Prescott is still a bit worried and would prefer you return to Halfridge Villas.”

Lillian asked, “What’s going on with Leonard? Why isn’t he back yet? Is there something wrong with his health?

I’m feeling much better now, Ethan. Can you please ask if I can donate my kidney to him now?”

At her words, Ethan immediately shut her down. “Of course not.

Ms. Mercer, you’ve only just completed the first stage of your treatment. If you donate a kidney now, it would be a death wish.

How could you possibly endure the second stage of treatment after undergoing a major surgery?”

“Can’t the second stage of treatment be postponed a little?

With the second stage and the subsequent recovery, it will be at least a year before it’s all over.

Leonard has been gone for so long this time. Could it be because his health has taken a turn for the worse?

Can he wait that long?”

Ethan said quickly, “Don’t say that. Knock on wood. God willing, both of you can wait, and you’ll both be fine.”

Lillian gave a faint smile. She hoped everything would turn out alright.

However, the fact that she and Leonard still couldn’t communicate normally made her a little sad.

His condition must be poor, which was why he couldn't make normal calls or video chats.

She had no idea where he was. Even if she tried to investigate, a man as powerful and resourceful as him could easily block her efforts.

So, Lillian didn’t bother with the futile effort, simply hoping he would get better soon and come back.

Without realizing it, Lillian had come to care deeply for Leonard and his fragile health.

She worried about whether he was feeling better, and when he would fully recover.

She wondered if her treatment had required a lot of his blood, leaving him weak. All these thoughts made her concerned for him.

Meanwhile, Leonard was lying in a hospital bed, an irrepressible smile spreading across his lips.

Dr. Smith shot him a look, rolling his eyes at his lovesick expression.

“Happy to hear that, are we, boss?”

Leonard could speak normally now, though his voice was noticeably weak, and he lacked physical strength.

“You said she’d change her mind about donating the kidney after she was cured. Bet that stings, doesn’t it?”
