Alina believed in Nellie.
It was just that Andre was always uneasy, so Alina nodded, "Okay."
Nellie stiffened for a moment, not expecting Alina to agree so readily.
After all, she had no reputation in the medical world, so this was the reason why Andre did not trust her.
And Alina, "I believe you."
"Alina."
"You must make it work." She knew Nellie wanted to use this surgery to melt this hard ice between her
and Andre.
No one knew exactly what happened between her and Andre at one time.
But it was clear that what happened back then was definitely not small.
Nellie didn't expect Alina to read her mind, "Aren't you really worried?"
Alina, "Me?"
She was genuinely worried, but if it was Nellie doing this surgery, she actually really wasn't worried
anymore.
Because, she knew Nellie's attainments in experimentation, if she hadn't been tied up by Andre all
these years, she must have made a name for herself in the medical profession.
"Nellie."
"Yes?"
"Why must you wait for him?"
Alina now and Nellie treat relationship with a different view, in Alina's opinion, relationship make people
suffer.
Andre was a good brother to her, but really not a qualified lover to Nellie.
And at the question, Nellie bowed her head, "I am a bitch, I guess."
"Nellie." Alina's heart choked even harder when she heard Nellie actually say this.
She took Nellie's hand and wanted to say something to comfort her, but she couldn't say a word.
She had seen what kind of nature Andre really was over the years.
With such persistence, Nellie would only be hurt.
"Maybe I'll figure it out sometime." Nellie said with a somewhat sad tone.
Alina nodded, the topic was too heavy for them both, Nellie didn't want to go on, and neither did Alina.
Chester returned with Penny, the two did not come to Alina immediately, but went to disinfect and
change their clothes before coming over.
When Alina saw Penny, her face was filled with a delighted smile at that moment, "Mommy."
The child was about to pounce on Alina.
However, the next moment she was carried away by Chester.
Penny, "Let go of me, you bad man."
Apparently, Chester's original plan to bribe Penny had failed.
Alina, "Let go of her."
Because of the incident at the airport, Alina's chest was still pounding.
Once in Ingford, he was just as mad as he was to snatch Penny away from her.
And when Nellie saw Chester, she subconsciously looked at Alina, who, with the indifference on her
face, clearly did not yet know about Chester's wedding.
Chester dragged the child out to talk for almost ten minutes.
Only then did Penny come back.
And the child, not as jumpy as earlier, looked at Alina cautiously, "Mommy."
"Here, give me a hug."
Penny came forward obediently, but only to rub against Alina's arms, not jumping on her as she had
tried to do earlier.
The child's fluffy head made Alina's heart warm for a moment.
Nellie went out, leaving Chester and Penny together, and when Caleb came back, he came to find
Alina.
Seeing this heart-warming image of the three of them, something stabbed him in the heart at that
moment.
Alina treated Chester as if he was air, and only spoke to Penny in a thoughtful way.
"Mummy, you must get well soon." The child knew that Alina was sick and she was full of worry.
Alina nodded, her eyes full of compassion for the child.
Yes, for the sake of the child, she must get better soon.
Chester looked at the liquid that Alina was about to finish and went forward to change the bottle for her,
"This is the last bottle today."
Alina ignored his words.
Alina only spoke to Penny, "Of course, Mummy will be fine."
When Caleb saw this scene outside, he couldn't help but gloat at Chester in his heart.
Neither of them was better than the other here, and what Chester was enduring now was what he
should be enduring.
Alina did not want to deal with either of them.
With Penny by her side, Alina only paid attention to Penny.
There was a time when she was so busy with her career that she rarely had time to care about her
child. And now she was sick and didn't care about work.
It was rare to have the time to spend wholeheartedly with the child.
...
Downstairs Caleb was in a soothing mood sipping his coffee, and when Chester came down, he could
see that he could not hide a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"What are you laughing at?" Chester's tone wasn't really good, obviously caused by being completely
ignored by Alina.
Caleb, "I'm happy."
But at the same time, he felt a hint of disappointment.
Because in Chester's body, he saw his own of the previous day.
Chester stepped forward and sat across from him, "What the hell do you want?" NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Alby had been calling him all the time, but now Caleb refused to even talk.
Caleb put down the coffee cup in his hand, "You made me completely regret last time, no."
He truly regretted it.
If he had known at that time that his letting go was another purgatory-like injury to Alina, he would not
have let go.
With those words, Chester looked at him in a rather threatening manner.
Caleb, "You don't have to look at me like that, what do you have but Penny between you and her?"
And to put it mildly, there are too many people in the world with two children who are still facing divorce.
So Chester's attempt to use the child to bind Alina was a fool's errand.
Chester did not say a word, but was dangerous.
Chester, "You think that there is Penny between her and me?"
"What else? That thrilling scene you had with her?" Whatever the memory was, it was scarring.
Clearly, those are not Chester's strengths today.
Chester looked at Caleb with a gaze that was even darker at the moment.
Whether Chester was willing or unwilling to admit it, he was on the same level as Caleb in Alina's heart.
Whoever appeared before her eyes was a presence she avoided.
And Caleb was right, whether it was Penny between him and Alina, or that past between them once, it
was what he relied on.
