On Alina, with Chester's reassurance, she is sort of calm, but just think of that night, she is silent.
"Have something to eat." Chester drove to Alina's favourite cruise ship for snack and bought her soup dumplings.
Whenever they went together, Chester bought all the things that Alina had eaten for her.
At the moment, however, Alina has no appetite.
Before, whenever she was angry, she liked to eat to let off steam, and now...
"You knew it, didn't you?" Alina bowed her head and said in a muffled tone.
At that moment, Caleb saw large drops of tears falling haloing her skirt, put the bowl down in her hand and stepped forward.
Crouching down, he took her in his arms.
And Alina's eyes were red.
She knew nothing about it, she had married the rapist at the behest of Grandpa Max.
"Abby, don't cry." Chester gently wiped away her tears.
Alina, "Do you know that because of that night, I went crazy?"
She was in a mental hospital for a long time, when her father was with her every day and her mother was in tears every day.
Grandma was even more desperate to cut the rapist into pieces.
"Abby." Chester's hold on her tightened, wishing to warm her little by little with the warmth of his own body.
Yet at this time, Alina seemed unable to listen to anything.
She cried out, tears wetting his shoulders.
"How can I?" Just think that the person that night was Caleb, and that she was married to him.
Alina then wished to peel off a layer of skin from her body, every inch of skin that he touched, she wanted to scrape off.
The strength of Chester's hold on her tightened even more.
The moment he close his eyes, his heart could not help but tremble.
What kind of pain did she have to endure in those circumstances?
"I was pregnant with his child, when I took the knife to my stomach over and over again and was about to stab it so hard."
"Abby, stop it, stop it." Chester's already tight body was now trembling even more because of these words.
"Every moment of every day, my mum and dad took the knife out of my hand over and over again."
To this day, Alina can still vaguely remember that her father almost lost his hand trying to take the knife out of her hand.
And it was the time when, time and again, she teetered on the brink of madness, and eventually her inner sanity was all but gone, and she was driven to the edge of sanity.
Chester hugged Alina tightly.
"Abby, stop it, okay?" It hurt, a lot, choking all-over pain inside.
He hated himself for not being there for her at that time.
He came back for her afterwards when he knew something had happened to Alina..
He knew what she said, he knew that Alina had gone mad and her parents had taken her to various psychiatrists time and again.
Yet at that time, he could not see her.
When he came back, something happened to her again and he hated Caleb.
"I was wrong, I was wrong." Chester hugged Alina tightly.
Alina fainted from crying in his arms. Looking at the tears in the corners of her eyes, his heart trembled even more viciously.
