Chapter 1058
Children typically follow their mothers, as the saying goes. Alexander, for example, resembled his
mother, which was why she did not like him very much.
Over the years, she tried her best to plan more for her son, and with the support of the Riggs family in
the future, she could feel much more at ease.
She took a sip of tea and then closed her eyes with the intention of napping. She then heard footsteps,
so she peeked over.
She was terrified by what she saw. Ralph was covered in dust and blood as if he had been beaten to
the ground by someone. He walked in embarrassedly.
"Oh my goodness!" With an exclamation, Margaret stood so abruptly that the blood rushed to the top of
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇther head. Her eyes darkened, and she almost fainted.
Ms. Margaret!" The servant next to her reached out to support her.
Ralph also took two quick steps and rushed forward to support her, saying, Mom, slow down!"
Margaret took a deep breath and gave him a trembling look. She looked at him up close and took
another deep breath, "What's the matter with you? Did something happen?"
"It's nothing!" He looked down at his body. To say he looked disheveled would be an understatement.
His clothes were ripped all over.
He initially returned to shower and change clothes, but he did not expect his mother to be in the yard.
He went to greet her but instead scared her.
"Nothing? Who did this? Who dared to do something like this to you? Don't they know that you’re a
Russell? Are they seeking death?" Margaret was fuming and stabbed the ground with her crutches.
Every time she said a sentence, the ground made a thud. "Who did this? Don't let him go!"
"I'm really fine. It’s just a little injury. Don't be too angry." Ralph, trying to reassure her, attempted to
brush the matter off.
He had intended to enter the house right away to take a bath and change. Now that he was looking at
Margaret, he thought of Heather's words.
He bent over to ask, "Mom, I want to ask you something."
"What? What’s more important than your injury? Tell me, who hurt you like this?" Margaret was so
distressed.
Ralph was her youngest son, and she gave birth to him when she was near menopause. Ralph was
like a treasure to her, especially in her current situation. Her older sons had already passed away. She
held onto his hand for fear of falling. She could not bear to hit or even lay a finger on him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Hugo was still alive, he would beat Ralph because he was naughty, and Margaret would be so
angry that she would not eat for days. Although Hugo had a hard temper, he could not just watch his
wife starve. That was why he gave in and hardly bothered about Ralph's affairs.
However, because of that, Hugo would no longer beat Ralph and started to ignore him. He then
gradually put his focus on Alexander.
Alexander was very similar to him when he was young and had the closest resemblance to Hugo
compared to his biological sons. Alexander had courage, calmness, and wisdom. When he was sick,
he had already decided for Alexander to inherit the family business.
Ralph's body was covered with physical injuries, but Margaret's heart carried the emotional wounds.
"Tell me. Who did this to you?"
