Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 388

“And I can’t even reach him now. What do I do?”

Lillian took a deep breath. “What do you do? You’re asking me what to do now? You’ve been by his side for so many years, and you don’t know him? And you’re asking me?

What you do is check the flight route, check the time, find out when and where he’s landing. Now!”

“But you, the police…” Ethan started.

Before he could finish, Lillian cut him off. “I can handle this myself. You go. Oh, and let me know the second you find out.”

He hurried off to check the flight information.

Lillian let out a sharp breath. She couldn’t believe this.

She had given herself two hours to sort everything out, and the moment she stepped out, there he was. He must have been only an hour’s flight from Northwyn.

He was so close?

Lillian snapped back to reality, realizing that after bumping into him, they were now standing incredibly close.

She subconsciously started to step back, but Leonard was quicker. He reached out, wrapped an arm around her waist, and pulled her even closer…
