Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 946

As soon as Bella reached the top of the stairs, she found Sabrina Ward waiting anxiously in the hallway.

"Fighting with them again?"

Sabrina had heard everything from the landing.

Bella sighed, the adrenaline fading into exhaustion. "They were looking for a fight."

She walked past her mother toward her bedroom, and Sabrina quickly followed her inside.

"Bella, you really need to get some rest. I brought you your medication. I know you're stressed and heartbroken, but you can't destroy your health over this.

Promise me you'll take your pills and sleep tonight.

We can deal with the rest tomorrow, okay?

Look at you. The dark circles under your eyes are terrible. If you keep pushing yourself, you're going to collapse."

Sabrina only had one daughter, and it broke her heart to see her suffering.

They had clawed their way up from nothing, surviving on each other's strength.

Bella was brilliant, and Sabrina refused to watch her throw her life away.

Bella took the pillbox with a tired nod. "I know, Mom. I came home specifically to get some sleep.

I just didn't expect to run into those two idiots the second I walked in. It's so frustrating.

They had the nerve to mock my situation?

It's outrageous. Since we joined the Mercer family, the Mercer Group has made millions riding my coattails and leveraging my ties to the Blake Group.

And the moment I hit a rough patch, they line up to laugh at me?

They're nothing. They have no real talent, and the company will definitely go bankrupt under their leadership.

Seeing her daughter's exhaustion, Sabrina dropped the subject.

"Just take your medicine and get some sleep, Bella."

"I know, Mom. Stop worrying about me and go to bed. It's late."

"I stayed up just to make sure you got home safe. By the way, I have to ask... what about you and Sebastian?"

"He's dead set on a divorce," Bella admitted, her voice hollow. "I haven't figured out how to stop it, but I have to prepare for the worst.

I sold the house and the car. I need liquid cash right now.

I want to save this marriage, but if he forces my hand, I need to be ready.

Tomorrow, I'm going to start interviewing the legal team.

It has to be done in secret, though. Publicly, I'm still trying to win him back.
