Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1145

"You vicious little brat, are you rabid?! She's your own mother and you attack her? Where the hell are your manners?" Ethan barked, thoroughly disgusted.

Sebastian was paralyzed for a fraction of a second before he violently ripped Noah out of Ethan's grip.

But he didn't pull the boy in for a hug. Instead, his hand cracked across Noah's face in a brutal, ringing slap.

"What are you doing?! Is this how I raised you?! How dare you do that!"

Watching the grotesque spectacle, the elder Blakes closed their eyes in despair, profoundly horrified.

Old Mrs. Blake rushed to Lillian, her voice trembling with distress. "Lillian, dear, are you alright? Does it hurt?"

Supported by Leonard, Lillian leveled a glacial stare at Sebastian and his sobbing son.

"If you are incapable of raising a child, Sebastian, hand him over to professionals. Do not ever bring your toxic baggage to my doorstep again.

No one here is going to tolerate your son's violent tantrums."

Sebastian felt a sickening twist of regret. Lillian was like a brilliant, untouchable force now—someone who should be revered and fiercely protected.

The slap he had delivered was heavy.

Noah burst into hysterical, hyperventilating sobs.

Seeing the entire crowd fuss over Lillian while his own father struck him pushed the boy over the edge.

He had already hated this mother, and now the hatred crystallized into absolute venom.

"She's a murderer!" Noah shrieked through his tears, pointing a trembling finger at Lillian. "Why are you all protecting her?! They should have shot her! She's a murderer! She doesn't deserve to be my mother!"

Hearing the boy she had carried hurl such callous, parroted poison at her, Lillian felt the last lingering ember of maternal warmth turn to ice.
