Sabrina, weeping, leaned against Martin. Her voice was soft and gentle. "Martin, I just can't let this go. I can't accept the pain of losing our baby.
But I never wanted Lillian to pay with her life. Just punishing her is enough.
Her mother went mad years ago, so she had no one to guide her. I don't blame her for being misguided, but she can't keep doing things like this.
If she isn't punished, I'm afraid she'll do something even more terrible in the future, commit a more serious crime. Then, not even the Mercer family would be able to clean up her mess."
"Don't worry, she's not one of us anymore. The disownment papers have been signed, and I've already had the media release the news. We've publicly severed ties with her.
From now on, whatever she does has nothing to do with our family.
Rest assured, even if she commits murder, it won't be our problem.
As soon as you're feeling a bit better, I will personally handle this matter. Committing a crime while on medical parole... this time, I'll make sure she gets a heavy sentence."
Bella sighed dramatically. "Dad, Mom, I can't convince you two. I'm done trying. Do whatever you think is best."
As she spoke, she shot a quick glance at Sabrina.
Sabrina started crying again. "Now the baby's gone. Just this morning, the baby was right here inside me. Martin, you even said you were going to give our baby shares in the company.
And now... the baby is gone."
Before Martin could respond, Bella cut in. "Mom, how can you be thinking about shares at a time like this?
