But from the looks of it, continuing to hide it was no longer an option.
She took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Alex, what I'm about to tell you is for your ears only. You absolutely cannot let our mom know! You know how her health is; she can't handle any kind of shock!"
Alex Grant immediately promised, "Don't worry, I won't say a word!"
"I... Your brother-in-law and I... we're actually divorced. It's been a while."
"What?!"
Evelyn Grant frowned slightly. "I originally didn't want to tell you this. I was afraid it would affect your studies. But I didn't want to lie to you, either, so I chose to tell you the truth. I'm not telling you this to make you worry, but to put your mind at ease. I'm fine, really. I'm doing great now!"
'Great?'
Alex Grant didn't believe that for a second.
