Chapter 178: Generous Inheritance

Halle spent half a day before she finally coaxed Hilla and made things clear.

This was just an accident, and Hilla didn’t have a terminal illness of infertility, but now, she and the Anderson family were so eager to have a child, which was indeed too difficult.

Moreover, Tyree couldn’t even make it through this winter. How could he wait for Hilla to finish the operation and recover in one or two years before getting pregnant?

“Sis, was I too lucky before? God is taking back some?” Hilla sobbed, and her eyes soon turned red and swollen.

Halle held her back and comforted her softly, “No. Baby is fated, not just for you. There is also the fate of the Anderson family. Maybe you, Bruce, and Baby are not fated to be together.”

“No, it’s because I have uterine fibroids. I can’t get pregnant. It has nothing to do with Bruce and the Anderson family. It’s me. I’m the one who let down the whole family.”

Hilla bit her lip and subconsciously held her fingers tightly, rubbing them back and forth.

“It’s just uterine fibroids. It’s not a terminal illness. After the surgery, you will still have a baby.”

“But Grandpa can’t see it.”

The Anderson family was very good to her. Although Tyree had very little contact with her ever since she lived in the house, she could feel that Tyree was very diligent in making her settle in the Anderson family.

Tyree had given Hilla a lot of things. Hilla didn’t care about the price of those things, but she knew that this was the sincerity Tyree had for her.

Therefore, Hilla had always regarded Tyree as her grandfather.

“This is an accident. No one can predict a person’s life. Orlenna and Master Anderson won’t blame you.”

Halle was comforting her seriously. Hilla looked up and smiled slightly, saying in a soft voice, “Sis, I’m tired. I want to rest.”

Halle frowned. Did Hilla understand what Halle just said, or not?

…

“Is that Ms. Holt? I am the housekeeper of the Hutt family. Could you please come out and meet me? The time and place are up to you.”

Halle knew that there would be such a day sooner or later, but she did not expect it to come so quickly.

Although the housekeeper spoke politely, he did not give Halle a chance to refuse.

Halle tightened her grip on her phone as she tried to speak in a calm voice, “May I know why you are looking for me?”

“You are smart. Our young master was suspended in the hospital for you. You must explain!”

With that, Halle felt relieved and said slowly, “Okay, tomorrow morning at the coffee shop opposite the confinement center. It’s quieter there.”

After Halle finished her words, the housekeeper responded and hung up the phone.

Halle was not in the mood to think of his politeness, and only subconsciously looked at Emily who was sleeping soundly on the bed.

Halle would sacrifice anything for her daughter, and no one could take her daughter away from her, even if it was her biological father’s family!

When Halle saw the housekeeper, she thought the man was older than she thought.

He seemed to be the old housekeeper of the house.

Neither of them seemed to be trying to make a polite detour. They both responded to each other directly.

“I heard that you had just given birth recently. I wonder if I’m interrupting your rest.”

Halle chuckled, “Since you know how presumptuous you are, you still want to see me. In other words, you don’t care if I will rest well.”

The housekeeper was stunned and didn’t get over it.

Thinking back to the information he had found, the housekeeper thought Halle should be a gentle and weak woman, but now it seemed that it might not be true.

“If there is anything the Hutts want you to tell me, just say it directly. I have to take care of the child and don’t have much time.”

The Hutt family seemed to not know Emily’s identity. With that, Halle felt relieved, but at the same time, she was more determined to get rid of this trouble.

“Since you are so direct, I won’t hide it. This is the Hutt family’s nutrition fee for your baby. After all, you and our young master know each other. I know that you have been divorced and the father of your daughter is unknown. Your ex-husband has been harassing you recently. If you need it, the Hutt family is willing to help you get rid of the trouble, the Tyson family. We are willing to find the father of the child for you.”

Halle was stunned. She looked at the housekeeper in front of her and was lost in thought for a while. Finally, she shook her head, “My child doesn’t need a father, and I have nothing to do with Dr. Hutt. He was willing to help me because of the Anderson family. I don’t need the nutrition fee.”

Halle wouldn’t take a penny from the Hutt family.

Halle pushed back the bank card and said, “I don’t have any improper thoughts

about your young master. Rather than letting me shrink back from difficulties, the Hutt family might as well teach their descendants well.

“I hope this is the last time I’ll meet you. I hope you won’t disturb my life with my daughter again.”

“Ms. Holt, are you willing to break with our young master?” Don’t you want any compensation? Don’t you want houses, money, cars, or jewelry?

“I have no relationship with your young master.”

“But my young master….”

Horton fought for Halle and was suspended. Now, he even moved the ties of the Hutt family to go after the Tyson family. The most hateful thing was that Halle came to her every day. Who would believe that he didn’t have a relationship with Halle?

“We don’t have any relationship. I can only assure you that I have no improper thoughts about your young master. As for the rest, I think this is your Hutt family’s problem.”

The housekeeper was stunned, “I see, Ms. Holt. Thank you for coming out today.”

The housekeeper had dealt with a lot of scandals of the Hutt family. This was the fastest and most unexpected one.

Halle did not look at the housekeeper behind her anymore. She turned and walked out of the coffee shop calmly.

Halle finally solved the biggest problem!

Hilla still went to the old house every day to see Tyree, but never returned to Lakeshore Center until Halle was out of the confined.

“Sis, why don’t you stay with Emily for another month? The countryside is hot now, and there are many mosquitoes.”

Hearing that Halle was going back to the countryside, Hilla was flustered.

Recently, Hilla had been hiding in the confinement center. In fact, every time she went to see Tyree, she would deliberately avoid Orlenna and Bruce. She did not dare to see the Anderson family.

But every time Hilla saw Tyree, although Tyree did not say anything, it still left her feeling guilty for a long time.

Halle knew that Hilla was nervous now. Originally, Halle did not want to leave so early, but the Tyson family made her irritated. The presence of the Hutt family had begun to make her thoroughly uneasy.

If she stayed in River City for one more day, Emily’s identity might be found out. If the Hutt family could find her for the first time, they could find her for the second time, the third time, until they found her…

…

Halle was in a hurry when she left River City. Even Hilla wanted to send Halle to the countryside, but she refused. Then, Hilla arranged for a driver and watch Halle leave safely with Emily.

When Hilla returned to the old house, she was surprised that all the members of the Anderson family were there.

Hilla usually came by herself at this hour to visit Tyree. Orlenna, Bruce, and Margaret were all standing outside the door. After hesitating for a while, Hilla walked over.

“I heard that Halle out of the confined today? Is everything settled in?”

Orlenna was the first to speak. Hilla nodded, “I’ve already asked the driver to send her back to the countryside. Halle is not used to being here, so she has been thinking about life in the countryside.”

Hilla didn’t know how to explain Halle’s departure, so she had to make a random excuse.

Fortunately, Orlenna was not in the mood to listen. “Right now, the Anderson family is too busy to take care of them. The villagers in the countryside are mostly simple and honest. Keep in touch with her if there’s anything. You have to inform us quickly.”

Hilla nodded but did not dare to look at Bruce, who was watching her.

She hadn’t been back to Lakeshore Center for a week, and the Line message that Bruce had sent her had been casually covered up by her.

When Hilla saw Bruce’s fiery gaze, she felt guilty and uneasy.

“Mom, why don’t you go in?”

Hilla looked directly at Orlenna, and before Orlenna could respond, the thick black wooden door was opened.

Lucas and Rudi were brought out by two staff members. Hilla was slightly surprised.

She felt that she had not seen these two people for a while.

Relative to Bruce and Orlenna’s calm, Rudi became fierce when he looked at Hilla and Bruce.

“Bruce, Hilla, I didn’t expect to see you again.”

Rudi’s hair had already been shaved, and his facial features were even more prominent and sharp. These days in jail had made him pale and lose a lot of weight.

The sunken cheeks on both sides of his face made him look even more gloomy and cold.

Hilla frowned, but she was not afraid of such threats. “OK, your visiting hours are over. Hurry up and leave.”

The staff behind urged. Hilla didn’t know what method the Anderson family had used to let these two people come out and meet Tyree.

But unlike Bruce’s attitude, Lucas had already rushed over impatiently when he saw Bruce.

“Bruce, help me and Rudi. We are all your closest relatives. I know that it’s my fault. I wanted to hurt you before as I lost my conscience. But I do regret it. Bruce, get us out of here. I have had enough of this. Bruce, I am your uncle. We are related by blood. You can’t be so cruel.”

Lucas was dragged away by the staff, but Bruce beside gave Hilla a sinister smile, “Just wait. If there comes a day when I am released from prison, I will never let you go.”

Hilla looked at Rudi’s back as he was taken away. She looked up at Bruce beside her. She innocently asked, “Will that day ever come?”

Bruce replied indifferently, “No!”

After Tyree saw Lucas and Rudi, there was a sudden improvement in his health. But the doctor said it was borrowed time.

Let alone till winter, Tyree wouldn’t make it to the next two months.

Halle returned to the countryside. Hilla couldn’t stay in the confinement center, so she could only follow Bruce back to Lakeshore Center.

Because of her guilty conscience, Hilla had been dilly-dallying along the way. The moment they arrived, Bruce pulled her into his embrace and pressed her against the door.

Bruce’s burning breath came at her, and Hilla felt nervous for no reason. Hilla gripped the corner of her clothes with both hands and whispered, “What happened to you?”

Hilla asked knowingly, turning her head to the side, as if she could not see the doubt in Bruce’s eyes.

“What’s wrong? Tell me?”

“Me? How would I know?”

Hilla bit her lips and turned her head to the side. Then, Bruce held her chin and pulled her back forcefully.

“Why are you hiding from me? Why don’t you come back these days?”

“No. It’s inconvenient for Halle to take care of Emily alone. I’m just helping her take care of Emily there.”

“Lying, huh?”

Bruce tightened his grip on her chin, causing Hilla to frown in pain.

“I didn’t lie. Indeed, my sister can’t take care of Emily alone.”

“A babysitter and a housemaid can’t take care of a one-month baby? And my wife can?”

Hilla was speechless by Bruce. Her face turned red and white. She looked down and clutched the corner of her clothes tightly, looking like she had done something wrong.

It was indeed a poor excuse, but she could not say the real reason.

“Bruce, if grandfather left this world with regret because of me, would you blame me?”

After enduring for a long time, Hilla finally couldn’t help but ask the words in her heart.

Bruce looked down at her nervous little face. He said, “Grandpa is sick, and you are not a doctor. What does it have to do with you? Don’t put all the blame on yourself, or I will blame myself.”

Hilla looked at the man in front of her in surprise. Looking at Bruce who was comforting her in front of her, she slowly smiled.

“Bruce, you are so nice.”

“Well, it seems someone left her good husband alone at home and refused to come back for a week.”

Hilla’s mind was punctured, and she blushed immediately. “Who said she won’t come back? She’s back.”

Hilla admitted that she had been under a lot of pressure recently. Because of Tyree’s illness, she was tangled and guilty. She watched as a relative left her. It was completely different from the feeling of hearing death and seeing a corpse.

Hilla avoided Bruce because she knew that she could not satisfy the Anderson family’s desire for the next generation. Even thinking about doing that kind of thing with Bruce would be pressure.

Tyree left faster than the Anderson family thought. Hilla stood in front of the tombstone and still remembered that Tyree was holding her and Bruce’s hands gently.

Tyree put Hilla’s hand in Bruce’s palm and kept repeating the word “Good”.

Then, Orlenna told her that Tyree did not grow old with his wife. In the end, he caused her to die early, and he had always been guilty.

On the other hand, Orlenna had a poor life and had been widowed not long after giving birth to Margaret. Tyree hoped that Hilla and Bruce could be together and grow old together.

When Orlenna gave Tyree’s wooden box to Hilla, Hilla saw that there was a silver lock for babies inside, a pair of silver bracelets wrapped in honeysuckle, and a stack of generous inheritance!

The housekeeper told Hilla that this was a greeting gift that Tyree had personally

made for her unborn great-grandson.

That day, Hilla locked herself in the room of Lakeshore Center and cried for an entire day!
