Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 382

Victor was getting anxious.

He quietly tugged on Lillian's sleeve and whispered, "You should say something! Everything Bella is saying is against you. If you don't defend yourself, the police are really going to take you away."

Lillian lowered her voice. "Be quiet."

With that, she walked straight up to the police officers.

In front of everyone, she held out her hands. "You can take me to the station for questioning."

The officers were taken aback. They had never seen a suspect so cooperative.

Still, it saved them some trouble.

They put her in handcuffs and led her away.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone present, Lillian was handcuffed and placed in the police car.

She seemed to know the routine, not worried in the slightest.

Compared to the first time she was handcuffed and put in a police car, Lillian was much more composed this time.

The first time, she had been panicked and terrified, gripped by an unknown fear for her future and the horror of going to prison. She had even trembled uncontrollably in the back of the car.

But this time, she felt no fear, no dread, no panic, and not an ounce of worry about her future.

Victor watched in stunned silence, chasing after the police. He ran all the way to the gate of the Mercer estate, banging on the police car door. "Wait, Lillian, this wasn't in the script you sent me! Hey, get out and explain what's going on!

"Please, just tell me what's happening! I'm so confused right now..."

With Lillian gone, Bella let out a huge sigh of relief. She went to Sabrina's side and said to Martin, "Dad, today is your birthday, and there are so many guests here. It wouldn't be right for us all to leave without saying anything.

"Besides, everyone here is from our social circle. If word gets out, it will reflect poorly on us. Why don't I go with Mom to the hospital, and you stay here and look after the guests?"

Martin glanced at the guests, then at Sabrina in his arms.

Sabrina tearfully nodded at him. "Martin, we have our whole lives ahead of us. We don't have to be together every single day. You should prioritize things here at home.

"Lillian has caused such a huge mess, and someone needs to clean it up. We can't all go to the hospital. Bella's right. You stay. I'll be fine with her by my side."

Martin gritted his teeth. "Alright, I'll stay. I'll come to the hospital as soon as I've handled things here. My love, you have to stay strong. Don't overthink things, okay?

"We can always have another child. Don't let the grief ruin your health."
