Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1274

Bella arrived home in the middle of the workday, barely parking her car before she sprinted into the house and up the stairs.

Sabrina Ward called out to her several times, but Bella ignored her.

Ordering the staff to park the car properly, Sabrina hurried upstairs after her daughter.

She knocked on the bedroom door repeatedly, but there was no answer.

Panic began to set in.

Sabrina had spent her morning enduring absolute humiliation at Lillian Mercer's hands—getting slapped by that monster and being forced to kneel in apology.

The only silver lining had been hearing some positive news regarding Noah.

She had planned to wait for Bella to finish work so they could chat and gloat over Lillian's pathetic failure to win over the child.

But Bella was acting entirely out of character.

Sabrina was deeply worried.

She pounded on the door. "Bella! Bella, are you sick? Open the door and let Mom in!"

Silence from inside.

The sickening, overwhelming nausea had completely consumed Bella.

She had barely held it together at the hotel, but now, her defenses had completely crumbled.

The moment she entered her room, she cracked open a bottle of liquor and downed several glasses in rapid succession.

But the alcohol only burned her throat and stomach, making her feel even worse.

Ignoring her mother's pleas, she collapsed onto the bathroom floor, wrapping her arms around the toilet as she vomited violently.

Hearing the muffled sounds of retching, Sabrina grew frantic.

"Bella, what's wrong? Hold on, Mom is coming!"

She muttered to herself, "Why would she lock the door? Is she hurt?"

Sabrina immediately yelled for a maid to fetch the master key.
