Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 234

Sebastian checked the time. A three-hour delay should be fine.

He nodded. "Alright. In three hours, I'll lend him the money as promised."

Given Sebastian's relationship with the Blake family, he couldn't go back on his word after agreeing to the loan.

Besides, he had only promised to do it today, so as long as it was done before midnight, it was all good.

Bella nodded gratefully. "Sebastian, thank you."

With that, she quickly left.

Sabrina received Bella's call just as Martin was coming out of the kitchen with a bowl of soup he had just learned to make from the housekeeper.

He emerged to find Sabrina dressed to go out, shoes on and a Hermès bag in her hand. It was obvious she was heading somewhere.

"Honey, are you going out?"

"Martin, Bella needs me for something," Sabrina said. "Wait for me at home, I'll be back in a little bit. It won't take long, I promise."

Now that she was pregnant, the mere mention of her going out made Martin anxious. He couldn't relax at all.

Setting down the soup, he said hurriedly, "Where are you going? I'll drive you."

Sabrina paused. It was best if Martin didn't know about this yet.

She smiled and gently pushed him away. "It's a girl thing. It would be awkward if you came along. Come on, just let me go by myself. Think of it as some light exercise. Nothing will happen."

"If not, I can have the driver take you. Sabrina, you're pregnant. How can I let you go out alone?"

Lillian had truly underestimated the mother-daughter duo. Brandon couldn't pull together that much cash on short notice, yet they had managed it in a matter of hours.

It didn't take long for Lillian to figure out where the money came from.

Sebastian.

Who else could have provided them with that much money so quickly?

He must be head over heels.

He had just handed over a massive sum to Bella within hours, without even blinking. Wasn't he worried she wouldn't be able to pay it back?

At that thought, a smile crept onto Lillian's lips.

She gave them an address over the phone and waited for the mother and daughter to arrive.
