Chapter 1141


    At the Russell Estate, the doctor confirmed that Margaret had only passed out due to grief and should


    be fine. However, he advised that she should not be agitated further as she was no longer young.


    After ensuring that the doctor checked everything, Lily left the older woman in Celine’s care. After all, a


    pregnant woman like Lily should not overwork herself.


    In the living area, Alexander propped his head with one hand and tapped on hisptop screen while


    saying something.


    Then he lifted his head, put theptop aside, and went to hold Lily’s arm. “You must be tired, huh? I told


    the kitchen staff to prepare fresh ginger tea for you. Have some and go upstairs to rest. I also told the


    housekeepers to tidy up the room. Let’s make do with it for today, okay?”


    “Your uncle hasn’t returned yet?” Ralph had not returned since he left in the afternoon, and there was


    no way to reach him because his phone was off. Lily supposed he did not want to see them for the time


    being.


    “He needs time to digest the truth.” Alexander shook his head and continued, “Besides, we need to


    decide whether or not he can remain in the family.”


    “Are you going to kick him out of the family?” Lily had been pondering the question, so she voiced it.


    “What do you think?” He asked her instead.


    Lily pouted. “This is your family’s business, and you’re making decisions. How would I know?”


    Seeing how adorable she looked, Alexander brought her to his chest and tapped her nose with a


    chuckle. “My family? Aren’t you the Russell family’s daughter-inw? There’s nothing wrong if the


    household''s mistress decides on this.”


    “You’re passing the pressure onto me, huh?” Lily threw him a sidelong nce and thought carefully


    before saying, “I think we should consult grandma on this since Ralph is her son.


    “She has treated him as her own, even if he’s not rted to her by blood. Although the estate belongs


    to the Russells, it’s still Grandpa and Grandma’s house. They should be the ones deciding whether or


    not to keep him. We don’t have a say in this matter.”

    What she said was what Alexander was thinking.


    That was why he did not announce the official removal of Ralph from the family. His grandmother had


    copsed at the time, so he had to put off dealing with it. Ultimately, Margaret had to make the


    decision.


    “However, I’m curious. Howe Grandma didn''t give birth to him? Wouldn''t a mother know whether


    or not a child is hers?"


    ‘ording to facts, a child might not be fathered by their father, but a mother could only give birth to


    her children.’


    “How is it not the case with grandma?”


    Alexander shifted his arms so Lily could sink into himfortably. “I do know something about this


    matter. For you to understand, I have to start with my second uncle’s death.”


    “Your second uncle?” She heard Alexander’s father had many siblings, but only Ralph and Celine


    survived. Therefore, she was surprised when Alexander mentioned him.
