Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1524

Sabrina's attempt to soothe him only added fuel to the fire.

It was as if Martin had finally found someone who truly understood him, and he was eager to unload every ounce of his grievance and resentment onto her.

He launched into another lengthy tirade. Sabrina was internally screaming for it to end but kept a sympathetic mask plastered on her face.

When he finally paused for breath, she spoke up. "Brandon has completely crossed the line. I bet he doesn't even know you're in the hospital, does he?

"I'll call him right now and tell him to get his act together and come down here. He needs to apologize. You're his father; you shouldn't have to sit here and swallow this kind of disrespect."

Martin thought about it. She was right.

He was the patriarch!

When his authority and position in the family were threatened, he desperately needed someone to defend his honor.

And right now, Sabrina was his champion.

A moment ago, he had been furious, but now, he viewed Sabrina as his most trusted ally—the love of his life.

She was the only woman who truly understood him, the absolute best in the world.

Using the excuse of making the phone call, Sabrina finally escaped the relentless complaining.

She had never known him to whine this much. When a man decided to play the victim, he could out-complain the most bitter of gossips.

She needed a moment to breathe and reset.

When Brandon answered the phone, Sabrina got straight to the point. "Brandon, your father is sick and in the hospital. You and Colin need to find time to come see him."

Brandon had already heard from the household staff that morning.

He guessed his father's illness was stress-induced, likely from raging over the company. He had been debating whether to visit, worried that his presence might just trigger another screaming match.

If visiting only made his father sicker, what was the point?

But since Sabrina called personally, he couldn't exactly refuse.
