Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 188

Bella had been angry, but her mother's words managed to soothe her.

The next morning, Sebastian and Noah were having breakfast when Bella joined them, acting as if nothing had happened the night before.

Sebastian had already told Noah they were here for a doctor's visit, explaining that if the treatment worked, Lillian wouldn't have to have a second baby.

At first, Noah was a little disappointed. He had been looking forward to having a little brother or sister.

Many of his classmates at kindergarten had younger siblings, and he was envious.

During breakfast, Noah turned to Bella. "Auntie Bella, my dad said he's not having a baby brother or sister with my mom anymore. Maybe you can have a baby brother or sister for me sometime.

Actually, you can have both a brother and a sister if you want."

Bella laughed at his words. "Alright, a brother and a sister it is. It's not impossible, but... I don't know if your father is up to it."

Bella was no longer dwelling on the previous night and was now bold enough to tease Sebastian.

She looked at him as she spoke. Up to it?

You couldn't say he wasn't, not with a son this big.

But if you said he was... well, what was he up to? She had practically thrown herself at him last night, and he hadn't been 'up to' anything.

Sebastian's face flushed, and he quickly made an excuse to leave.

He had been able to remain calm last night, but in front of his son, he was a little embarrassed.

He was a rational man, but he was hardly experienced in these matters.

Even after marrying Lillian, they hadn't been intimate very often.

For the past few years, he had been without a woman. He had mostly relied on willpower or taken care of his needs himself.

Watching him flee, Bella felt a renewed sense of confidence.

Maybe, just maybe, she would succeed soon.

A little brother and sister?

Twins?

If it were possible, she would love to have a pair of twins.

Not a brother and a sister, but two brothers.

The two elders of the Blake family clearly favored Lillian and were even somewhat hostile towards her.

But if she could manage to conceive twin boys, she was confident she could secure her place in the Blake family.

Even if it was just for the sake of the children, the Blake elders would have to treat her well.

With that thought, Bella knew exactly how to win over the Blake family.

The most crucial question now was when Sebastian would get divorced.

As soon as he was divorced, she could be with him legitimately, get pregnant, and have his children.

At the lab.

Leonard didn't come to the lab today; Ethan accompanied Lillian instead.

Everything had been arranged in advance by Leonard's people. They were just waiting for them to arrive to begin the tests.

As her thoughts drifted, Lillian realized she was wasting her time pondering this.

"I'm not waiting. Let's go ahead. My tests are more complicated, right? Let's start with me."

She didn't want to waste her time waiting, especially since Sebastian, who was here for his son, wasn't showing any sense of urgency. There was no point in her being the only one anxious.

Ethan nodded. "This way, Ms. Mercer."

As they walked, Ethan explained the situation.

"The young master invested in and established this lab several years ago.

Actually, as you know, it was originally for his own condition.

The young master never gives up, as long as there's a glimmer of hope.

He'll do whatever it takes to get better.

Unfortunately, his own condition is quite complex, and there's still no effective solution.

But in the process, they've developed other things that have made the lab profitable.

So, the young master now runs this lab more casually, acquiring and continuing research that other labs have abandoned.

That's how they came across the technology that might help the young Blake master.

The doctors here are all essentially his subordinates, so you don't need to be nervous when you go in.

The young master has already briefed them on your situation during a meeting."

Lillian smiled. "Don't worry, I'm not nervous. But Leonard is quite impressive. To have the time and energy to manage all this with his health condition is truly admirable."
