Chapter 1154


    “Two days?” Not expecting to have slept for so long, she was taken aback for a moment and wondered


    what happened after she fainted.


    “Alex…”

    “He’s downstairs and hasn’t left home yet. Would you like to see him? I’ll go and get him.”


    “There’s no hurry,” Margaret said. “I must have troubled you for the past two days.”


    Lily shook her head. “No trouble at all. It’s Aunt Celine who''s been taking care of you.”


    “Ah, Celine…” Letting out a sigh, Margaret gazed ahead into space while still holding her hand.


    “Do you…” She hesitated but could not bear to finish the question.


    It was getting awkward. She wanted to get someone to announce that Margaret had awoken and to


    prepare her some food, but the older woman did not let go of her hand. Even worse, Lily felt she should


    talk to her but was afraid she would say something to enrage her.


    After a while, Margaret diverted her gaze back to Lily. Her lips moved as she wanted to say something,


    but she hesitated.


    However, even if she had not said it out loud, Lily could guess what she wanted to ask. Seeing that


    Margaret seemed to be doing okay, she asked tentatively, “You wanted to ask about Uncle Ralph, didn’t


    you?”


    Margaret was astonished. “You’re still willing to call him ‘Uncle’?”


    ‘Ralph has tried to set them up and even stole the secret handbook. Still, after what he’s done, she’s


    still willing to address him as her uncle?’


    “Alexander calls him that, so I do too.” She smiled and gave the back of Margaret’s hand a gentle pat,


    as if to soothe her. “You must be hungry. We talk after I get you something to eat, okay?”


    Seeing her sincere gaze, Margaret slowly nodded and finally let go of her hand. Lily smiled and turned


    to go downstairs.


    Having just finished his breakfast, Alexander adjusted his tie and was about to go out the door when he


    saw Lilying downstairs. “Has Grandma woken up yet?”


    “She has. That’s why I’m getting someone to prepare some food for her.” She smiled.


    Alexander was surprised. “Really? I’ll go and see her then.”


    “Hold on,” she said, “Grandma’s not herself yet since she just woke up, but she wanted to ask about


    Ralph. Do you think we should tell her that we haven’t found him?”


    Alexander shook his head. “Better not. The doctor says not to agitate her for the time being. Let’s keep


    it from her until we find him.”


    Lily nodded. “I agree. Then we say it’s best to let him cool down first, and we have someone following


    him. After he thinks it through in two days, he’lle back to see Grandma.”


    “Well, that’s the best we can do for now,” he said.


    He initially thought Ralph only went out to calm himself down and would eventually return, having


    nowhere to go. However, after two nights, they still could not locate him, and there was no news of him


    checking into any hotels.


    Atst, they received news of him fighting with Sean and his men by the roadside, but only his car was


    found abandoned there.


    Alexander was puzzled and sent his men to find out where Ralph went.
