Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 879

They held each other tightly, their heavy breaths tangling in the quiet room.

It obviously took a massive amount of willpower to pull back from the edge of such intense intimacy.

Both of their health conditions were unstable, and that kind of physical exertion would take a serious toll on them.

Lillian was doing slightly better, but Leonard's health was incredibly fragile.

She had stopped purely to protect him.

"I'm sorry," Leonard murmured, a hint of frustration in his voice. "I can't even give you that kind of happiness right now."

"We have the rest of our lives," Lillian soothed gently. "We have decades ahead of us. There's no rush for this one moment.

And I know you're going to make a full recovery.

Leonard, we are going to survive this together, and we're going to build a beautiful life."

Hearing her unwavering certainty, the last traces of Leonard's frustration melted away.

Once their heart rates settled, the conversation smoothly shifted back to business.

"I've already had the building renamed to Lillionix Tower. It's currently undergoing a full renovation and should be ready for you to move in about three months.

By then, your company's expansion should align perfectly with the move."

Lillian smiled. "Yes, Mr. Prescott is incredibly visionary."

"It's all thanks to Ms. Mercer's brilliance. You turned a massive blueprint into reality in such a short time. You are officially a titan in the tech world now."

Lillian offered a slightly bitter smile. "I doubt it will be that easy. Those people won't let me off the hook without a fight."

Leonard knew exactly who she was talking about.

"By the way, we haven't even checked on the fallout from the wedding."

While others might have had the free time to watch both events unfold, Lillian had been tied up with the launch. She hadn't had a single second to check her phone.

She had no idea what kind of disaster was happening over there, or how Old Mr. Blake was reacting.

Lillian stepped out of the car, slightly surprised to see their vehicle parked there.

The elderly couple immediately got out of their car when they saw her.

As they stepped forward, their eyes landed on Leonard, who was getting out of the car right behind Lillian.

It was the first time they had ever seen Leonard.

Just by seeing the natural, intimate way Leonard stood by Lillian's side, they instantly understood the nature of their relationship.

In the end, it seemed the Blake family simply didn't have the blessing to keep Lillian. She had slipped through their fingers and found happiness elsewhere.

But the elder Blakes had absolutely no right to object. After all, it was Sebastian's catastrophic decisions that had driven her away.

Still, seeing her with another man made an undeniable pang of regret ache in their chests.

Combined with the chaotic disaster of the day, Old Mr. Blake couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh.
