Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 506

Mrs. Blake hadn't expected Lillian to agree so readily.

She had been worried Lillian would refuse to come.

After all, Sebastian had truly handled things in a way that left no room for reconciliation.

The old couple was well aware of that.

After hanging up, Mr. Blake quickly asked, "Did she agree?"

"She did. We were right about her; she's a good kid. It's such a shame. Our family just wasn't lucky enough."

Mr. Blake sighed along with her.

By the time Lillian arrived at the designated restaurant, Mr. Blake and Mrs. Blake were already waiting for her.

"Mr. Blake, Mrs. Blake, why are you so early? Didn't we agree on a time?"

Lillian checked the time; she had arrived early herself. As the younger one, she had intended to get there first and make arrangements.

She hadn't expected the two elders to be even earlier.

Mrs. Blake walked over and took Lillian's hand. "It's been so long since I've seen you. After that whole mess at the Mercer family's birthday banquet, we made some inquiries and found out you had your own plans all along.

"You're a good kid. The Mercers aren't worth it, so it's okay that you left. Just don't be too heartbroken about it."

Lillian genuinely had nothing to be heartbroken about.

To others, watching her sever ties with her biological father and brothers might have seemed like a devastating event.

But her heart had been torn apart long ago.

Pain? She couldn't feel it anymore.

Lillian looked at Mr. Blake in astonishment. "How could you keep such a major surgery a secret from even me and Sebastian?"

Mrs. Blake shook her head. "You were getting married and having a child. How could we burden you with that?

"As for Sebastian, he was raised outside the family, after all.

"He lacks the necessary foresight. We just couldn't bring ourselves to tell him."

Lillian’s gaze was filled with concern. "And now? How is… how is your health, Mr. Blake?"

She had been about to call him by his formal title but stopped herself when she remembered the couple's genuine affection for her. She couldn't bring herself to be so distant.

Mr. Blake nodded. "Two years of recovery with the best doctors and the most advanced technology abroad. I'm fine now."

"What do you mean, 'fine'? The doctor specifically said you need to rest and take care of yourself from now on. You absolutely cannot get agitated."
