Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 617

As a beneficiary of his skill, Stephen knew better than anyone what the old physician was capable of.

So, when he said Lillian was sick, Stephen had no choice but to believe him.

His expression shifted from shock to speechlessness, his gaze moving from the old man to Lillian.

Lillian was well aware of her own condition. At this moment, she didn’t know what to say.

But faced with such a formidable traditional doctor, she couldn't refute his words.

After a long silence, Stephen’s voice came out, dry and strained. “Lillian…”

Unable to deny it, Lillian simply said, “I’m sorry, Stephen. I never meant to hide it from anyone.”

Her words were all the confirmation he needed.

“No wonder you looked so exhausted after a day of work, with no energy left.

“Knowing your personality, you should be full of life. But your state lately… never mind…

“But…

“But I thought you were just feeling a little under the weather, at worst some common issue like fatigue or anemia.

“With your mother gone and your grandmother ill, there’s no one to look after you. And all of us who came this time are men, so it wasn’t our place to ask about your private health matters.

“That’s why I found a doctor for you. I wanted to get you the best, just to be safe.

“How could I have known it was something like this?

“Lillian, you…”

Lillian felt a pang of guilt. “Stephen, I really didn’t plan on telling any of you.

“I’m much better now. I received treatment overseas. Really, you can ask Ethan if you don’t believe me.
