Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 278

“I’ve been so good to you, and you’re trying to poison me?”

Leonard whispered, “Don’t… tell her.”

Hearing this, Dr. Smith started up again.

Leonard closed his eyes, with an expression that said he’d rather the doctor just nag him to death.

He couldn’t help it. In his current state, he couldn’t say much.

He had no energy.

His throat was hoarse.

Brandon had also received Bella’s invitation in advance.

Everyone in the family had.

Last night, the two brothers had moved from the hotel back into the Mercer family estate.

Sabrina had the kitchen prepare a huge spread, but unfortunately, both brothers worked late into the night and didn’t get to eat it.

In the morning, Sabrina instructed the kitchen to make a large breakfast, and thankfully, the brothers were gracious enough to eat at home.

When Martin brought up Bella’s press conference that evening, Brandon, still waiting for Bella to introduce him to some key people, had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Truthfully, he had little interest in the Blake Group's interim results.

He'd heard they were also releasing a smart product, but it was something Bella had cobbled together at the last minute just to make the conference look good.

It incorporated a tiny bit of their latest research.

The device was beautifully designed, but it was essentially useless—one of those things that was too mediocre to keep but a waste to throw away.

He had no idea what kind of sucker would actually pay for it if it went to market.

However, Bella seemed to know what she was doing. Rumor had it she hadn’t prepared much inventory.

But since they were in a temporary truce, he couldn't keep bringing it up.

Since his father was asking about Lillian out of concern, Brandon told him the truth.

Afterward, seeing the suspicious look on the old man's face, he said unhappily, “Don’t think I’m exaggerating. I went to see her myself.

She looked haggard and pale, and she was extremely weak.

It looked like a gust of wind could knock her over after just a few steps. She’s lost a ton of weight.

Even though I’m not happy with her lately, her health is in such a bad state that I felt I had to tell you.

Dad, Lillian was Grandma’s favorite grandchild.

The doctors say there’s a chance Grandma could wake up. If she does, and something has happened to Lillian…”

Brandon let his words hang in the air, not needing to finish the sentence.
