His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1155

Alexander went upstairs, entered the bedroom, and saw Margaret sitting on the bed, looking quite well. However, as she had slept through two days and was only on the IV drip, she was still feeble.

“Grandma.” He entered. “Are you feeling better?”

Alexander maintained a distance from Margaret as he stood at the bed’s end. He was close enough to see how she was doing, yet not too close. He had always kept a politely distant attitude toward her.

Margaret gazed sincerely at him, her only grandson. She had given birth to many children who died, and her favorite son was not related to her by blood. It was as if God had pulled a terrible prank on her.

She sized up Alexander, who had his mother’s eyes and eyebrows, and his father’s mouth and nose. ‘Even his dignified manner takes after his grandfather!

‘How could I even suspect that he’s not a child of the Russell family? Why did I want to do the DNA test? If I hadn’t done it, I wouldn’t have discovered that Ralph isn’t my child, and I could still keep myself in blissful ignorance.’

Margaret blamed herself for making such a mistake. She almost got her grandson into trouble while ruining Ralph’s life.

Seeing her zoning out while staring at him, Alexander called out, “Grandma?”

“Oh.” Margaret caught herself and sighed. “I’m feeling better. I must have gotten much better after such a long sleep. I’m okay. Just go and do your things.”

“Okay.” He glanced at his watch and saw it was almost time to go. “Rest well and tell the housekeepers if you need anything. Don’t worry too much about other things.”

He tried to hint at Margret from participating in the family’s messy affairs.

“Then… what about Ralph?” She said after a pause, “Although he’s not our blood relative, he grew up in the family. He’s only a few years older than you and is more like a brother to you than an uncle.”

She said while slowly observing Alexander’s expression, “Yes, I know he did many wrong things and had gone too far this time trying to frame you with the fake DNA report. However, he has received his punishment, and it must not be easy for him now. Will you…show him mercy?”

“Grandma.” Alexander looked into her eyes. “Did he show me mercy when he held the family meeting and forced everyone to vote against me?”

Alexander could not possibly ignore what had happened. Ralph had tried to make things difficult for him since they were young and even attempted to chase him out of the family the other day. How could one expect him to let Ralph off just like that?

Margaret was the only reason he had not chased that man out of the family, as he worried she could not handle the blow. However, it did not mean he would forget everything Ralph had done and leave the score unsettled.

“Well…” Margaret was stumped. She knew what he said was right and reasonable, but she could not bear to see Ralph suffer.

“I know you’re right, and I’ve gone too far, wanting you to let him off the hook. Then can I still keep him by my side? Even if the family doesn’t acknowledge him as its own, will it be okay to take him as my foster son?” Margaret sounded desperate.

Alexander lowered his gaze and saw one of her hands gripping the blanket. He noticed her earnestness and knew it must be difficult for her.
