Chapter 117
Alexandra’s face turned red again.
Julian looked at her, raised the comers of his lips slightly, and said, “I’m leaving”
When Julian came out of the villa, Frank was still waiting for him by the car.
Frank clearly saw his boss’s expression change from sunny to ice–cold the moment he stepped out of the door.
From Julian’s expression, he had already expected that Alexandra’s medical examination results were not ideal.
Otherwise, he would not have had such an attitude. Furthermore, ever since Alexandra woke up, his tone and attitude towards her had been unusually gentle.
In that gentleness, there was heartache and care.
“Boss, how is Mistress Alexandra’s health?” Frank stepped forward. He really did want to know.
Julian glanced at him and said in a low voice, “Watch Jacob carefully. And tell your men to continue looking for Ace.”
Frank said, “Okay, I got it
After getting into the car, Julian sat in the back seat without saying a word.
Frank’s heart ached when he saw this. He comforted Julian and said, “Boss, don’t worry. Mistress is so kind. She’ll get better. She’s a little angel sent down by the heavens, and she still has to warm the hearts of so many people.”
Julian stared out of the window and reminisced about the first time he saw Alexandra.
He said, “Warming other people’s hearts is so tiring. I don’t want her to be a little angel. I want her to be happy and safe.”
“You’re right, boss. She’s by your side, and with you around, she will be safe and happy for sure.”
Julian said nothing
Alexandra returned home at noon and went back to her room to sleep. She slept until about four in the afternoon.
After waking up, she was still dizzy. The effects of the medicine from the morning checkup had yet to pass.
When she woke up and pushed open the door, she smelled the scent of medicine.
Alexandra walked into the living room and saw Josephine and Ruth chatting in the kitchen.
The smell was coming from there.
“Grams, Ms. Rivera Alexandra walked towards them and happened to see Ruth putting the medicine into a cup.
Josephine greeted her. “Alex, you’re awake? You came at the right time. Ruth has already prepared the medicine for you. Have it while it’s still fresh!”
Ruth smiled and brought the cup to the dining table beside Alexandra. “Mistress Alexandra, the medicine isn’t bitter. I’ve tried it. The medicine is mixed with honey and lemon. It’s not that bitter.”
Josephine pulled Alexandra over and settled her into a chair. “Alex, the medicine Ruth prepared isn’t bitter. Drink it quickly.”
Alexandra was touched. Grams and Ruth were so good to her.
They were just like family.
Ruth went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Josephine sat by the side and watched Alexandra drink the medicine.
Alexandra did not dare not to drink it under Josephine’s eager gaze. She picked up the spoon and took a small sip. It was bittersweet, but it was not difficult to swallow.
“How is it? It’s not bitter, right?” Josephine asked her.
“Yes, Grams, it’s not bitter,” Alexandra said and drank another spoonful.
Josephine nodded. “This medicine must be prepared on the spot to be effective. I’ll get Ruth to prepare it for you every day. You must drink it on time.”
“Thank you, Grams!” Alexandra felt that she was really fortunate!
Just as she was about to finish her drink, Alexandra’s phone rang.
She glanced at the caller ID. It was Peter.
She could not help but frown. Ever since she married into the Ranford family, Peter had basically never cared about her.
Why would he suddenly call her at this time?
Alexandra stared at her phone and ignored it.

The call ended on its own.
Then her phone rang again.
Alexandra held a spoon in one hand and picked up the phone with the other.
“Hello?” she answered the phone politely.
When Peter saw that she had picked up the call, he chuckled and asked, “How have you been recently? You didn’t even come home to visit after you got married!”
Alexandra stirred the medicine in her cup and smiled mockingly. “Mr. Doherty, what’s the matter?”
Peter felt a little awkward and coughed twice over the phone. “Well, your Aunt Margot made some delicious food and wants you to come back for dinner tonight. I wonder if you….”
“I’m sorry, I’m not free,” Alexandra interrupted him.
Although she did not know what Peter was up to, Alexandra did not want to go to that house.
That place did not belong to her in the first place.
Peter smiled and said patiently, “It’s like this, Alexandra. I have something to tell you.”
“Let’s talk over the phone.” Alexandra took a sip of the medicine, which was now tasteless.
Peter said, “It’s… related to your mother. I think it’s better to say it in person.”
Mother?
Alexandra was a little surprised.
Why had Peter suddenly mentioned her biological mother?
Alexandra had never seen her mother before. She didn’t even know what she looked like.
She only knew that her mother passed away when she was very young
ww
In other words, when Alexandra’s mother passed away, she did not know that her biological daughter was actually wandering around outside.
Thinking of this, Alexandra felt sad.
She thought that all mothers in the world loved their daughters, didn’t they?
Alexandra thought for a moment before agreeing. “Alright, I’ll go over in a while.”
Alexandra told Josephine that she had something to do and had to take a trip to the Doherty family, and she would not be coming back for dinner.
Then, she left the villa..
Alexandra took a taxi to the Doherty family’s villa on North Star Drive. Peter was already waiting for her at the entrance.
What a rare sight.
Alexandra got out of the car and looked at Peter, whom she had not seen for a long time. She did not feel anything for him.
Peter walked over with a smile on his face. His attempt to show affection made Alexandra feel chills all over.
“Alexandra, you look good. Mr. Ranford must be treating you well, right?”
Alexandra was expressionless. “Mr. Doherty, what exactly is it about my mother?”
“Ah! Come in and talk! Your aunt has already prepared dinner!”
Alexandra followed Peter into the house and Margot welcomed them with a smile on her face. “Alex, you’re back? You haven’t been back since you got married! Come, let’s eat!”
Alexandra felt that both husband and wife were very hypocritical.
The three of them sat at the dining table. Margot obviously hadn’t made all the dishes on the table.
Peter and his wife warmly invited Alexandra to eat, but her appetite soured when he saw them. She had also taken medicine before going out, so she could not eat anymore.
After forcing herself to eat a few mouthfuls, Alexandra realized that the Doherty family’s maids‘ culinary skills were far inferior to the Ranford family’s.
It couldn’t even compare to Julian’s cooking.
Margot put another piece of braised fish into Alexandra’s bowl.
Alexandra really couldn’t eat anymore. She put down her fork and glanced at the couple. “I’m full. I’m not used to the food here. The Ranford family’s food suits my taste.”
Margot and Peter looked at each other awkwardly and also put down their chopsticks.

Alexandra heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that the two of them had finally stopped putting on an act.
She looked at Peter and asked him, “What is it about my mother?”
Peter did not say anything. Margot, who was beside him, smiled and said, “Well, I’ve been tidying up the house for the past two days and found many of your mother’s belongings. I thought that since you’ve never met her before and she’s never seen you either, I wanted to ask you to come and take a look. So I asked your father to call you. If you need…”
In truth, Alexandra wanted to understand her mother.
Alexandra had never seen her before.
She didn’t know what her mother looked like or what her hobbies were.
However, it was precisely because Alexandra’s mother had passed away so carly that she had never hurt Alexandra.
Therefore, Alexandra was still a little curious and missed her.
Without hesitation, she interrupted Margot. “Give all of it to me. I’ll take it all with me. I’ll take everything you don’t want that belonged to my mother.”
When Margot heard her words, she smiled and looked at Peter.
Peter chuckled and rubbed his hands. He said to her, “Alex, you can take it with you. I have something I need your help with.”
