Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1446

Once Eleanor settled into a chair, she decided she absolutely adored the setup.

There were colorful balloons everywhere, sweet pastries, and beautiful decorations. She was even happier here than at home.

Although her room at Halfridge Villas was beautifully furnished, this place offered a thrilling novelty.

Home was starting to feel a bit repetitive.

Eleanor suffered from mental illness, yes. She struggled to comprehend complex situations and her cognitive abilities were diminished, but she wasn't rabid. She didn't randomly lash out or attack people unprovoked.

The most dangerous thing she did was grab whatever was nearby to hit someone if they deliberately provoked her—but wouldn't a sane person do the same?

Like Martin and Sabrina, for instance.

Suddenly, Eleanor's eyes locked onto the two figures desperately trying to blend into the shadows of a corner.

Her eyes lit up with sheer delight, and she shot up from her seat, sprinting straight toward them.

Lillian experienced a brief flash of concern, but the moment she realized her mother was zeroing in on Martin and Sabrina, her worries vanished.

There was absolutely nothing to fret over.

In fact, this was perfect.

Lillian strolled after her at a leisurely pace.

Eleanor came to a halt right in front of Martin and Sabrina.

Pointing a finger at them, she squealed with joyful surprise, "It's you!"

Martin and Sabrina were already trembling like leaves in a hurricane.

Wait... could this lunatic actually recognize them?

Or was this just some Pavlovian reflex whenever she saw their faces?

This was a nightmare.

Eleanor's exuberant shout instantly acted like a magnet for every pair of eyes in the room.

Now, the crowd had no doubt she was mentally unstable.

Of course, they were also acutely aware of the tangled, bitter history between Eleanor and the two Mercers.

Things were getting incredibly interesting.

The madwoman still recognized them. They must have left a profoundly deep impression on her.

Almost every guest's eyes lit up with the same burning question: What on earth was The Penance Performance?

It sounded positively scandalous.

Were Martin and Sabrina really going to drop to their knees for Eleanor?

While the crowd buzzed with eager speculation, Eleanor began looking around left and right, as if searching for something.

Lillian and Leonard were standing side by side.

They exchanged a subtle glance, both knowing exactly what Eleanor was looking for.

However, neither of them made a move to help.

Given their statuses, certain actions were better left to others.

A second later, Ethan Hayes emerged in their line of sight, carrying a heavy ornate chair. He marched straight over to Eleanor.

With impeccable manners, he placed the chair right behind her. "Madam Eleanor, your chair has arrived. Please, have a seat."

Eleanor absolutely loved being pampered. She beamed at Ethan, then plopped herself down into the chair.

The moment she was seated, she pointed directly at Martin and Sabrina, acting like a child who had just invented a fun new game. She shouted excitedly, "You two! Get over here!
