Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 516

The old man slammed his hand on the table. “That’s enough!” he roared. “Do you even know how to raise a child?

When he was with Lillian, he was a wonderful boy.

But look what’s become of him in the last two years. It’s clear to me you’ve never once truly cared about Noah’s well-being.”

“What do you mean I don’t care about Noah?” Sebastian shot back. “He’s my son, the next heir to the Blake Group. Do you have any idea how much I love him or what I’ve sacrificed for his health?

If it weren’t for him, Lillian and I would have divorced years ago. Why else would I have dragged it out for so long?”

His father was about to retort, but his mother cut him off.

“That’s enough, you two. Stop arguing.

Sebastian, what kind of way is this to behave, coming home and immediately fighting with your father?

If you keep this up, there won’t be any family bond left between you.

Don’t you trust us with Noah?

Even sending him abroad, we’ve chosen the most suitable people to look after him. From his daily life to his education as an heir, everything has been meticulously screened.

Noah’s health is excellent now, and we’ve arranged for a compact medical team to be with him.

Does that put your mind at ease?

However, it’s an immersive educational program. He’s just started, so he probably won’t be reachable for a while.

There’s no need for you to worry. Just focus on preparing for your wedding.

You’ll be able to see him when he comes back for vacation.

You don’t have any experience raising a child, so just leave it to us. Or do you not trust us to handle it?”

Sebastian felt a knot in his stomach. How could they just send his own son away without saying a word, all while he was supposedly just staying with his grandparents to keep them company?

It was obvious they thought he was an unfit father and, worse, that Bella was not fit to raise Noah.

As soon as Sebastian left, his father glanced at his wife. She looked pale.

He immediately went to her side. “Don’t be angry. Please, don’t be angry. Don’t take a single word that bastard says to heart.

Remember our goal? To live well. Every extra day we live is another day we can protect our legacy.

Don’t let anyone’s words wear you down and harm your health.”

Tears welled up in the old woman’s eyes, but she nodded firmly.

Her own son was gone, and all she had left was this rebellious one.

Just seeing Sebastian was often a painful reminder.

His very existence was a testament to the deepest pain in their marriage.

And now, he was rubbing salt in the wound—a pain no outsider could ever understand.
