Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 389

They were so close they could almost feel each other’s breath, and their body temperatures seemed to rise.

Even when they had spent so much time together before, she had never felt her heart race or her face flush like this.

But in that moment, both of them felt an inexplicable tension.

They were, after all, standing in front of the police station with so many people around. Ethan couldn’t help but clear his throat pointedly.

Only then did Leonard and Lillian realize their proximity was a bit too intimate.

Leonard released his hold, and Lillian quietly took a step back.

“Are you okay?”

“How’s your health?”

They spoke at the same time, their first words to each other being a question about the other’s well-being.

After asking, they saw that the other person was standing there, perfectly fine, and both broke into a relieved smile.

“Everything’s sorted out at the station. I cleared things up,” Lillian said. “It was never a big deal. I just didn’t want to explain myself to the Mercers and let them know the truth.”

With that, she took out the document severing her ties with the family and unfolded it for Leonard to see.

She had a slight smile on her face. “Look, I have nothing to do with them anymore. From now on, I’m me, and they’re them.”

Seeing the document, Leonard believed that Lillian was truly fine.

Everything must have gone according to her plan. The weight in his chest finally lifted.

Seeing Leonard visibly relax, Lillian turned to complain. “Ethan, this is all your fault. What did you tell him to get him so worked up?”
