Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1370

Sabrina's heart plummeted. She silently prayed to God that Bella hadn't done anything catastrophically stupid behind her back.

The Mercer family's stance was crystal clear: if Bella was caught in a criminal scandal, they wouldn't lift a finger to save her.

They would throw her to the wolves and banish her from the family without a second thought.

Bella wasn't tied to them by blood, but even if she were, it wouldn't matter.

Look at Lillian—she was a true Mercer heiress, and the moment her reputation took a hit, they kicked her to the curb.

The Mercer men were ruthless, self-serving opportunists. If they could discard their own blood, discarding Bella would be effortless.

Sabrina couldn't take the suspense anymore. She rushed out of Halfridge Villas, skipping a trip home, and took a cab straight to Bella's hotel.

She pounded on the door until her knuckles bruised. Finally, Bella opened it, her eyes sunken with heavy dark circles.

"Mom? What are you doing here?" Bella grumbled, annoyed.

Sabrina grabbed her shoulders, scanning her up and down. "Bella, honey, did you stay up all night? You look exhausted."

"Mom, my job is demanding. Pulling an all-nighter is normal," Bella lied smoothly.

She knew there was nothing she could do right now. She couldn't access Debbie at the hospital, so sleeping was her only option.

As for the Mercer Group's tech launch, she had done her part. Staring at the production line wouldn't make the phones build faster.

But Sabrina was sick with worry.

"An all-nighter for work? Your office said you've been showing up late and leaving early! And it's the middle of the workday right now, yet you're hiding in a hotel sleeping.

"Bella, you're acting incredibly strange, and I am terrified. Do you understand?"
