StarNovelChapter 1196
"You don't have any appetite these days. Are you too tired?” Alexander asked. "What about skipping the hospital visit later? My
aunt is there, and the maids are there too, which is more than enough to take care of grandma. She'll also be released from the
hospital in a few days.”
"Can she be discharged with her condition?"
"The doctor said it's fine. With her condition, she doesn't need to stay in the hospital because she's not ill. She's just old now."
After the incident the other day, Alexander could talk about Margaret's condition calmly.
After all, there was too much he had to face and too many things he needed to do. He could not let his emotions control him.
Lily nodded. ‘Then | won't go to the hospital in the next few days. I'll visit Grandma once she returns home."
She was indeed slightly tired. Rubbing her temples, she said, "There's something | want to discuss with you.”

"Yeah?" Alexander looked into her eyes seriously, preparing to listen to whatever she had to say.
A moment of hesitation later, she started softly, "I think we should postpone our wedding.”
"Why?" Alexander did not understand where she was coming from. "Is there anything about it that's not to your liking?"
Lily shook her head and rubbed her belly, which was already visible enough that anyone could tell she was pregnant. "It's just that
too many things have happened recently, and the family had enough on their plate. Grandma isn't feeling that well, and I... I'll
need to get the wedding dress altered too."
Smiling, she continued, "I had a call with Justin recently. He's busy in Azalea, so he might not have the tto return. Why don't we
just postpone our wedding? You know that I'm not particular about such formalities, so why don't we... talk about this again after |
give birth to our child?"
Lily was not that bothered about having a wedding. Back then, she agreed to have it as Alexander wanted to give her the
experience all married women would have in their lives.
However, the wedding day was getting closer, but Margaret was not feeling well, Ralph's matter was not settled yet, and the
Russell family was suffering from the aftereffects of the turmoil they had just gone through, although they looked fine to outsiders.
Looking at the bigger picture, Lily felt their wedding should be postponed.
"Won't you get upset about it?” Alexander asked softly as he took a wet tissue and wiped the corner of her lips.
"Nope," she replied thoughtfully.
"We'll go with what you want." After a moment of silence, Alexander nodded. He respected Lily's choice completely regarding this
matter. It was fine for him if she wanted to postpone their wedding.
When he thought about it, they could wait a few more years and have their child be the flower girl or boy. That seemed like a great
plan as well.
The two stared into each other's eyes and smiled, just like the scene in a beautiful picture. At this moment, a maid cin and
said, "Mr. Russell, there's a gentleman out there who wishes to see you. He said he works for Ms. Riggs."

"Heather Riggs?" Lily blurted and met eyes with Alexander again before she continued, “Or perhaps... the person pretending to be
her?”
"Should we meet her?" Alexander asked.
“Let's see what she’s up to. This is our territory anyway.” Lily threw him a glance, knowing that he already had an answer in mind,
but still insisted on hearing it from her.
The maid left to welcthe guest. After working here for a long time, she knew that Lily's words count in this family!
The duo left the dining table and went to the living room. As they took their seats, a maid served them a pot of fruit tea while the
other led the guest in.
Lily had an impression of the guest, but it seemed a long tsince she last saw him.
"It's you?"
