Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1302

Noah resisted fiercely, his sudden and unprovoked screams piercing the air.

This outburst completely stunned Brandon.

He knew that after Lillian went to prison, she hadn't been able to stay by Noah's side.

Meanwhile, Sabrina and Bella had clearly filled the boy's head with poison, driving a deep wedge between him and Lillian.

Brandon had heard Sebastian's remarks the previous day, yet he hadn't fully grasped the severity of the situation.

He never expected to witness such a visceral reaction today.

Brandon was entirely caught off guard.

Murder and prison were taboo subjects, words that never should have been brought up in front of Lillian.

Yet, Noah had just shrieked them for everyone to hear.

The Mercer men stood frozen in shock, while Sabrina subtly assessed the results of over two years spent manipulating the child alongside her daughter.

Sebastian stared at Noah with deepening disappointment, feeling the boy was becoming a lost cause.

Just that morning, Noah had promised to apologize the moment he saw Lillian.

He was supposed to say he was sorry and nothing else.

Sebastian had completely lost control over his son and lacked the mental energy to deal with him right now.

Only Lillian truly absorbed what Noah had shouted.

He said she had killed someone again.

Again?

In Noah's mind, did "again" mean recently?

Could it be that he knew something?

At that moment, Lillian's gaze toward Noah was completely devoid of a mother's warmth.

It was a visceral dread. He was genuinely terrified of her.

The kind of fear one might show after witnessing a gruesome, bloody scene...

It was as if he had actually seen her kill someone.

Under normal circumstances, Lillian might not have paid such close attention to his outburst.

But given the evidence Marcus had delivered the night before, coupled with the genuine horror in Noah's eyes and his specific accusations, she couldn't help but shoot a brief glance at Sebastian.

Her eyes rested on Sebastian's pale, haunted face for a moment before she turned back to Noah. "Noah, have you learned how to lie now?"

Noah struggled wildly, but it was futile against Brandon's firm grip.

"I'm not lying!" he sobbed hysterically. "You're the liar, you monster! It's all you, you're the murderess!

You're terrifying! You killed someone and made Dad help you dismember the body! I saw it!
