Chapter 793

Ramon Swanson hurriedly looked up the stairs.

Ulric Swanson walked down the stairs nimbly and said to him, “Coincidentally, I’m looking for you too. My leg has been treated. I can walk normally now.”

Surprise appeared in Ramon Swanson’s eyes.

“Really… When? Why didn’t you tell me about such a joyous occasion earlier?”

As Ramon Swanson spoke, his surprised expression gradually became filled with blame and suspicion.

His son, who had been crippled for so many years, could suddenly walk. This made him think too much.

Ulric Swanson stood in front of Ramon Swanson. When he saw the expression on Ramon Swanson’s face, he immediately revealed an apologetic expression.

“Actually, I’ve been improving a while ago, but I can only walk for 4,5,30 feet at most. I thought that I would tell you after my legs have completely recovered so that I wouldn’t have to sit back in the wheelchair after walking a few steps and disappoint you. So… I only dared to tell you after I finished the treatment today and felt that my legs had recovered.”

“That’s right!”

Astrid Swanson, who was walking down the stairs, echoed, This child likes to be stubborn about everything. I only found out today. He didn’t mean to hide it from you. He just wanted to tell you after he completely recovered to give you a surprise.”

Melody noticed that Astrid Swanson had specially put on full makeup. Her makeup was so exquisite that it reached the roots of her eyelashes. It was obvious that she wanted to take the opportunity to remove her own confinement.

However, she did not intend to stop her.

It was good that it was removed. It would make Astrid Swanson lower her guard so that her plan could be carried out more easily.

When Ramon Swanson heard Astrid Swanson say that, the blame in his eyes faded.

He nodded and said, “It’s a good thing that you’ve recovered. Which doctor treated you? I’ll go with you to thank you another day and send you a silk banner.”

“This…” Ulric Swanson’s expression did not change. He paused for a moment and said, “My leg was not treated by a certain doctor. I consulted almost all of Halcyon’s authoritative experts in this field and combined many people’s treatment plans to recover to its current state.” Astrid Swanson wiped away her nonexistent tears.

“You don’t know how hard Ulric worked in private to undergo rehabilitation. For rehabilitation… he sacrificed so much in exchange for being able to walk normally today. As a mother, I saw this and my heart ached, but I couldn’t help with anything. I felt really uncomfortable… Fortunately, this day has finally arrived.”

Astrid Swanson said as she slowly leaned towards Ramon Swanson’s shoulder.

Ramon Swanson did not refuse or take the initiative to stop Astrid Swanson. He only said, “It’s good that you’re cured. No matter how hard it was, it’s all in the past. It will be a good life in the future.”

Astrid Swanson quickly nodded and said, “But you’re right. We should thank the doctor. But there are too many people who need to thank… I’m afraid you don’t have that much time. Let me do these things for you, okay?”

Ramon Swanson wasn’t stupid. He knew that Astrid Swanson wanted him to release her from confinement.

However, what happened last time was too much. In addition, Melody Fox, who was almost schemed against, was also present. He did not know how to answer at the moment.

Just as he was hesitating, he heard Ulric Swanson say, Mom and I know we were wrong about what happened last time. If she’s grounded at home, we don’t know what the outside world will say about our family. So, can we let her…”

“Forget it!” Ramon Swanson tried his best not to look at Melody’s expression. He waved his hand and said, From tomorrow onwards, you can thank those doctors on my behalf. It’s best if you can arrange a meal. I’ll also meet them so that I can thank them in person.”

“Alright! I’ll arrange it as soon as possible!”

Astrid Swanson was overjoyed. While Ramon Swanson did not notice the expression on her face, she glanced at Melody smugly.

Melody subconsciously looked at Ken Swanson beside her.

At least half of the people in this family believed that he was the one who crippled Ulric Swanson’s leg.

However, because of Ramon Swanson’s pressure, no one dared to mention this matter for so many years.

But, now that Ulric Swanson’s leg had recovered, it was equivalent to bringing up this old matter.

Her heart was filled with worry, but when she saw that Ken Swanson’s expression did not change at all, she felt relieved.

That was true. How could Ken Swanson be such a fragile person?

After calming down, Melody met Astrid Swanson’s provocative gaze.

The next second, she noticed the person walking down the stairs. She raised her chin and gestured for Astrid Swanson to look up the stairs.

Astrid Swanson followed her gaze in confusion and saw Margaret Swanson walking down the stairs.

The expression on her face froze and she said stiffly, “Mom…

That damn old woman should not have seen her provocation to Melody Fox just now, right?

But it didn’t matter if she saw it. She was about to die anyway.

With that thought in mind, Astrid Swanson’s body visibly relaxed. She smiled and greeted again, “Mom, you’re down?” However, Margaret Swanson did not even look at her. She walked up to Ulric Swanson and asked, “I heard from them that your leg has recovered?”

“Yes. I’m sorry, Grandma. I’m only telling you now. My leg is almost completely healed.”

Margaret Swanson shook her head.

“I heard everything you said just now. There’s nothing to be sorry about. You’ve indeed worked hard all these years.”

After all, he was her grandson. Just like Ken Swanson, he was also the flesh and blood of her hand.

Seeing that Ulric Swanson was indeed moving as usual, her eyes, which were a little cloudy because of her old age, immediately turned red.

“It’s good that you’ve been cured. It’s good that you’ve been cured… Your leg has always been a sore spot for me. Now that it’s healed, my sore spot has also been cured. In a few years, when I close my eyes, I won’t have any regrets.”

“Grandma, what are you talking about? You’ll definitely live a long life.”

Margaret Swanson waved her hand.

“If I live longer than Nanshan, I’ll become an old demon. It’s not a good thing to live too long. It’s already a blessing for me to be able to live until now. Think about your short-lived grandfather. I’ve enjoyed a lot more than him.”

As Margaret Swanson spoke, she glanced at Ken Swanson from the corner of her eye. Her expression froze.

She almost forgot that Ken Swanson was there too.

She hesitated for a moment and said, “It’s a joyous occasion that your leg has recovered. However, Wendell and Cadence have just left… It’s not suitable for a big event, so it’s fine as long as our family knows about this. There’s no need to especially publicize it outside. You and your mother will be in charge of giving those doctors some red packets. There’s no need for anything else to prevent others from gossiping. Ramon Swanson, you don’t need to be present. Just get someone to send a silk banner.”

“Okay, Mom.” Ramon Swanson had no objections.

“I understand, Grandma.”

Ulric Swanson seemed to nod obediently, but there was a deep chill in the depths of his eyes.

Wasn’t it just because he didn’t want everyone to remember that his legs were crippled by Ken Swanson?

His grandmother had been biased towards Ken Swanson since he was young.

He thought that the old woman would ignore Ken Swanson forever after his leg was crippled. He did not expect that she would treat him as well as before the moment he returned from Insterimond.

Ulric Swanson suppressed the jealousy in his heart and said with a smile, “It’s almost dinnertime. Grandma, let’s eat?”
