Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 621

If they knew she was sick—and seriously sick, with a risk of death—they would all be devastated.

So, Lillian didn't want everyone to worry about her problems, and she certainly didn't want them scrambling to find doctors and remedies for her.

Her condition was relatively stable now, so there was no need for alarm. Besides, she already had top-tier medical resources at her disposal and didn't want to burden anyone else.

Stephen thought for a moment. "As long as your condition is stable, I won't say another word. Lillian, your own health is the most important thing. You know that, right?

"Don't push yourself too hard at work. No job is more important than your health, do you hear me?"

Lillian nodded vigorously. "I know, I promise."

He had a real talent for cornering her, so Lillian didn't argue back.

In reality, Stephen was also a very considerate person. He knew the situation with the Lancaster family better than anyone.

Just as Lillian didn't want them to worry, neither did he.

But if things truly reached a critical point where there was no other choice, he would have to report it to the family.

Of course, that would only be in the worst-case scenario. Things hadn't reached that point yet.

At the end of the workday, after giving his instructions, Stephen left Mr. Peregrine behind and departed.

Mr. Peregrine glanced at Lillian's computer screen, which she hadn't had a chance to shut down yet, and asked softly, "Ms. Mercer, you're not planning to work a little longer, are you?"

Lillian quickly replied, "No, not at all," shutting down the computer as she spoke.

"I always leave on time. Mr. Peregrine, well... I suppose I'll have to trouble you to come with me from now on?"

Mr. Peregrine grunted in agreement. "Judging by your demeanor, Ms. Mercer, I doubt this old man will feel troubled at all."
