His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1215

The 100-year-old Russell Estate looked the same as usual, but one might think it had significantly aged due to all that had happened recently.

Ralph knelt by the bed in Margaret’s bedroom. He had lost a lot of weight, and his hair on both sides had become grayer.

Margaret had mixed feelings seeing him. She shut her eyes without saying anything as tears slowly fell from the corners of her eyes.

“I’m sorry, Mom! I wish I could still call you so. I was wrong,” Ralph said lowly.

“I’ve thought it through. It’s not entirely your fault, and I’m partly to blame for failing to guide you properly until you turned out like this.” Margaret said in a nasal tone as her eyes remained closed.

She continued slowly, “Forget it if you’d like me to reinstate you as a Russel family member. From now on, Alex will take charge of everything, and I will no longer interfere with his decisions.”

Ralph lowered his head. “I didn’t come to ask you for anything but to apologize. I consider myself lucky to be alive. I want nothing else and hope you can allow me to care for you.”

Margaret opened her eyes to look at Ralph. “You mean it?”

“I’ve signed the papers to return everything to the Russell family since they don’t belong to me. I’m an orphan, and I should be grateful that you’ve cared for me for many years. Annie lost her life because of me. I-I’ve wronged too many people that I deserve to die!” He burst into tears.

“Who’s Annie?” Margaret had not learned about what happened and asked, somewhat puzzled.

“She’s a woman I’m indebted to for life.” Ralph felt a deep sting when he thought of how Hannah looked at him before she died. He thought nothing mattered more than staying alive, but he knew now he was wrong, as many things did.
