His words made Alina laugh.
"Yeah, not important. And yet she was protected time and time again." And now, even more so, she was hidden.
The latter words was not said out, but, Caleb still heard the resentment in her tone.
Scratching his hair in frantic annoyance, he opened his mouth, "I didn't."
He did not hide Emma.
Two were at a standstill.
Tomas took a call.
His face was stony, but he was relieved, "Sir."
"What?"
Caleb's anger was now at its extreme point, yet he was trying his best to hold back in front of Alina.
It's normal that she would feel the way she does now.
He had once been so protective of Emma, and had even, when Alina was pregnant, tried to use Alina her to save her, now she was missing.
It was normal that Alina would think Emma had been hidden by him.
Tomas subconsciously looked at Alina, and then attached himself to Caleb's ear.
The next moment, there was a reprieve on Caleb's countenance.
"Bring her here."
Tomas nodded and walked away.
Caleb looked at Alina, "Emma has been found."
"I told you, I wasn't trying to hide her. What happened at the last prison was the last time I treated her..."
Looking at Alina's sunken face, Caleb swallowed the words that were on his lips.
Obviously, there is no point in saying anything now, only to hand Emma over to Alina's hands.
It's over.
Now, this time, he and Emma are completely over.
......
Caleb is gone.
Apparently he was unsure about Tomas doing his job and wanted to go himself.
And Alina stood in the same place for a long, long time, and didn't even come back to her senses because Caleb said to her before he left, "I will personally hand her over to you."
Was he going to hand Emma over to her personally? Such a thing would not have happened in Caleb before.
And now, Alina was only listening to this as a joke. In her opinion, anything Caleb did to Emma could not be taken seriously, just take it as a joke.
Ronan arranged a special plane for Chester to go back to Ingford, and arranged the best medical team as fast as possible.
Before setting off, Chester woke up and looked weak, showing how poisonous that snake really was.
"Abby." He took her hand and Alina attached him, "It's all right, it's all right."
She had never seen Chester like this before, ever since this man had appeared in her world and had been showing what he could do.
It was as if nothing could bring him down, yet this time he used his body to shield her from that viper.
Chester was too weak and didn't wake up for long before he fell asleep.
After this incident in the mountains, the relationship between them therefore took a step further, especially Alina's heart is very close to him.
......
Emma got caught by Caleb's men in the mud-filled mountains, Lois was with her and the moment the two saw Caleb's men, their faces were ashen.
They could never have imagined that the one who finally caught them and would not let go was Caleb's man.
"Let go of me, let go of me." Being strangled, with no power to fight back.
