Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1191

More importantly, the meals were infused with rare, medicinal herbs tailored specifically to Lillian and Leonard's health needs. Lillian no longer needed heavy medication, making these restorative dishes the perfect way to maintain her vitality. Mr. Peregrine's medical expertise was truly unparalleled.

Eleanor's physical health was actually quite stable. Her brain injury was permanent and irreversible, so her meals didn't require the same intense medicinal focus. Instead, they were crafted purely for maximum flavor and immune support.

In the past, Eleanor used to eye Lillian and Leonard's special meals like a jealous child. But after tasting them once, she quickly lost interest. While they were palatable, they couldn't compete with the decadent dishes prepared exclusively for her.

Lillian took a bite of her food and glanced at her watch.

"Don't worry about them," Leonard said gently. "Focus on your breakfast. Nutrition comes first. You have a massive workload at the office today, so you need to eat."

Truthfully, Lillian was eagerly anticipating her guests. Not only did she want the satisfaction of seeing them humiliated, but she also needed to observe Sabrina's reaction to Eleanor. Since Lillian had taken her mother away, Sabrina hadn't had a single chance to see her. Today would reveal everything.

Just as they were finishing their meal, a maid approached.

"Ms. Mercer, the Mercers' car has arrived. Security cleared them, and they are being escorted to the garden now."

Lillian nodded briefly and turned to Eleanor. "Are you full, Mom?"

Martin was all too familiar with this garden. The last time he was here, he had thrown a massive tantrum, smashing Lillian's priceless botanical collection in the greenhouse. That stunt had earned him several days in a holding cell and a staggering fine. His eyes immediately darted toward the greenhouse, a deep frown creasing his forehead.

What a nightmare.

But he was here now, and there was no turning back.

For Sabrina, this was her first time stepping foot inside Halfridge Villas. From the moment the car passed the main gates, her eyes had been wide with awe. Moving into the Mercer estate had been the crowning achievement of her life—she had felt like absolute royalty. But seeing this place made her chest tighten with envy.
