Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 139

After all, Noah had been designated as Old Mr. Blake's successor from the moment he was born. As Noah's maternal family, the Mercers couldn't be allowed to fall.

Sebastian didn't say much more, and after a few more words, Brandon left.

The moment Brandon was out of the car, Sebastian made a call to have Lillian's medical records pulled.

Hearing Brandon's story about her illness, a knot of unease tightened in his chest. He needed to know what was going on.

However, the result was unexpected.

Not only could they not find any of Lillian's medical records, but there was also no record of an ambulance being dispatched for her or any hospital admission.

Leonard, in the middle of his meal, suddenly let out a small laugh.

Lillian looked up at him. "What is it?"

"Your ex-hubby is investigating you," Leonard said.

Lillian paused, confused. "Ex-hubby?"

Leonard cleared his throat to cover his slip. "Well, you're getting a divorce, right? Your soon-to-be-ex."

Lillian realized he was talking about Sebastian.

"What's he investigating?"

"When you got sick two days ago, I didn't want to waste any time, so I had a hospital ambulance bring you home. You mentioned your brother saw it, right? Well, Sebastian is trying to find your medical records, ambulance dispatch logs, everything. And of course, he's found nothing."

Lillian had to smile. Of course Sebastian wouldn't find anything.

The ambulance Leonard had called wasn't from a 911 dispatch; it was one he had summoned privately. How could there be a record?

After she was released, when she learned that the Mercer and Blake families hadn't arranged her medical parole because they knew she was sick, but as an excuse to get her home to have a second child, she had made a firm decision.

She would never let any of them know about her illness.

She should have given up on them during those two years in prison when not a single person came to see her, not after she was already out.

Now, Lillian's heart was as hard as iron.

Leonard watched Lillian, who still didn't know that her divorce from Sebastian was already finalized and she was officially single.

But Leonard worried she might still consider reconciling with Sebastian for the sake of her child.

He watched her expression carefully and asked tentatively, "Should we... leak some information about your illness to Sebastian?"
