Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1225

She went on and on about her hardships and sacrifices.

Martin, entirely blinded by love, fell for it immediately. Once his emotions took over, logic went out the window.

He made a grand promise on the spot. "Honey, as long as you help bring Lillian back and the Mercer family regains its status, you will be the true Mrs. Mercer. We will share all the wealth and glory. I will never let you suffer."

Sabrina was thrilled.

Still, she touched her cheek and whimpered, "I know you treat me well. But my teeth ache, and my body still hurts. I was beaten so badly, but the bruises disappeared so quickly.

"Do you know why?"

Martin had already asked Beatrice to use the Winthrop family's overseas connections to investigate Leonard Prescott.

If he used his own people, Lillian would definitely find out.

The Winthrop family had vast resources abroad; they could find out what Martin couldn't.

Thinking of this, Martin explained, "They gave you an injection. I don't know what it was, but it healed you instantly.

"I thought you'd be bedridden for weeks.

"I didn't believe it until I saw it with my own eyes.

"That medicine is extraordinary.

"Do you feel unwell anywhere?"

Sabrina was terrified. The medicine was beyond anything she could comprehend.

What kind of terrifying substance was that?

Lillian's wealth must be astronomical to afford such things.

Sabrina was like a startled bird, trembling in fear.

She had no idea what tomorrow would bring.

She didn't want to apologize, but she couldn't escape it.

It was infuriating.

Martin wanted to take her to the hospital, but Sabrina refused, knowing Bella was coming home soon.

Not long after Sabrina went to rest, Bella rushed into the room.

"Mom, what happened at Lillian's place today? You wouldn't say a word on the phone and made me leave work early. I've been so busy!"

She stopped and stared at her mother. "Mom, why are you so pale? You look like you've lost half your blood."
