Chapter 576 Grandma Is Thinking of the Entire Family
In the Palmer’s old mansion.
The doctor came to check on Miley. He told them that Miley fainted from grief, and it was not a big deal. But she shouldn’t be stimulated again. After all, she was old, and it would be too much for her.
After everything was settled, Litzy stayed with Miley to take care of her, and Silvia
walked out.
After all, Silvia was pregnant. She should get some proper rest while she could.
In the living room, Simon supported his temple with one hand and poked his laptop screen with the other as he said something.
Hearing the sound, he raised his head, put the laptop aside, and got up to support Silvia. “Are you tired? I’ve asked the cook to make some soup. Have some and go upstairs to rest. I have had a room prepared. You can make do with it today.”
“Bridger hasn’t come back yet?” Bridger hadn’t been back since he went out in the afternoon, and his phone was off. He might not want to see them at this time.
“He needs time to accept,” shaking his head, Simon said. “Besides, whether he will stay. or not is a tricky matter.”
“Are you going to kick him out of the Palmer family?” after some thought, Silvia asked.
“What do you think?” Unexpectedly, he asked back.
Silvia curled her lips. “It’s your family’s business. Of course, it’s up to you. How should I
know?”
Seeing how cute she was, Simon reached out and pulled her into his arms. He tapped her nose and said with a smile, “My family? Aren’t you the daughter-in-law of the Palmer family? You are the hostess of the Palmer family. You get to decide.”
“You are passing the buck to me, aren’t you?” Silvia glanced at him. She thought about it seriously and said, “Regarding this matter, I think we should respect Grandma’s opinion more. After all, Bridger is her son. She treats him as her own, whether he is her biological son or not. The Palmer family belongs to all the family members, including Grandma and Grandpa. It should be up to them if they take in a child or not. We… have
no right.”
She said the exact words Simon wanted to say. He was thinking the same thing.
Therefore, he did not publicly announce that Bridger was no longer a member of the Palmer family. Miley passed out back then, so he let it slide. It depended on Miley in the
end.
“But I’m very curious. How come he isn’t Grandma’s biological son? Didn’t she know whether she gave birth to him or not?” Silvia asked in confusion.
She heard a joke before. A child’s father was not necessarily his or her biological father, but the mother was always certain.
How come this theory didn’t apply to Miley?
Simon moved his arm to make her more comfortable while lying in his arms. Then he said, “I know something about this. It all starts with my second uncle’s death.”
“Your second uncle?” She had heard that Simon’s father had a few siblings, but now, there were only Bridger and Litzy left in the family, so she was a bit surprised when he
mentioned his second uncle.
And he “My second uncle was just eighteen years old when he died. He was so young. died very suddenly. His car brakes failed, and he fell straight off the cliff,” Simon said calmly. The accident was so terrifying, yet he was so calm as if he was talking about
some news.
“Later, when my third uncle was about twenty-five years old, his oxygen tank
malfunctioned while he was scuba diving, and he drowned. After that, my youngest
uncle…” Simon paused while turning his head to look at Silvia.
He tilted his head and thought for a moment. Then he continued, “My youngest uncle, I mean, my biological youngest uncle, died of a sudden illness shortly after he was born.
He died in my grandpa’s arms.”
Silvia suddenly understood. “So, your grandpa brought Bridger back?”
Simon nodded. “My grandma was devastated by the deaths of my second and third uncles. My dad is alive, but he has always been weak. Because of this, though my grandma does not like my mom very much, she did not stand in their way firmly.
“But on no ground would my grandma accept my youngest uncle’s death. He was only three years older than me. Think about it. My grandma was already very old back then. She risked her life to give birth to a son, and he died before he could walk. My grandpa was afraid that it would be too much for her, so he replaced the baby with … Bridger.”
“But her baby was switched. Couldn’t she tell?” Silvia stroked her belly gently. After all, she had not given birth yet, and she was confused. How could a mother fail to recognize her baby?
“It was a baby after all. Newborns look the same. Besides, my grandpa was considerate enough to find a baby with a similar appearance. In addition, after Grandma gave birth to my youngest uncle, she was very weak. And he was kept in a thermal container most of the time since he was weak as well. They didn’t get to see each other a lot. So, she didn’t realize the difference.” He paused. Then he continued, “Imagine how much my grandma doted on him.”
She didn’t have to imagine at all. Anyone who wasn’t blind could tell.
Miley spoiled Bridger so much that even her husband couldn’t stand it. However, Miley had suffered enough already. Therefore, he couldn’t say anything about it. And of course, he wouldn’t tell her the truth.
Silvia sighed. She thought, Miley is pretty pathetic. Her sons died early one after another. Other women might have killed themselves already. Bridger’s arrival gave her a glimmer of hope. He became her moral support.
And now, she is already so old, yet she has to suffer such a devastating blow and be exposed to the cruel truth. What’s more, she is the one who exposes the truth. She must have been heartbroken. It’s perfectly normal that she fainted.
“I’m very surprised that she chose to tell the truth,” Silvia said in a soft voice.
Miley doted on Bridger so much. If Miley didn’t think it through, she would help Bridger lie. She could have kicked Simon out so that Bridger could inherit the property of the
Palmer family.
But Miley didn’t. Instead, she chose to tell the truth, even though it devastated her.
“Grandma was thinking of the entire Palmer family.” Simon was also surprised, but he
got it.
Miley favored Bridger at usual times. Also, it was the truth that Miley and Simon didn’t
get along. But everyone had to see the bigger picture. They did everything for the Palmer family. The reason why the Palmer family could thrive for hundreds of years was that everyone had been working in the same direction.
Silvia tilted her head to look at him. “Actually… you already knew that Bridger is not Grandma’s biological son, right?”
She thought, he was so calm back then. He must have been prepared. Besides, it seems that Grandma made a temporary decision. I don’t think they communicated in advance. He looked very surprised as well. So, he must have known long ago. Whether Grandma told the truth this time or not, he wouldn’t be defeated by Bridger because of this.
