In the scene on the compass stone, Chester knew what kind of pain Alina was carrying in her heart right now.
He, for the time being, has to recuse himself.
When Alina woke up and saw that the person beside her was Andre, her tears fell down.
Andre handed her a glass of water, "You don't have to feel embarrassed, in fact we already knew that, it wasn't your fault."
Without waiting for Alina to say anything, Andre uttered first.
What did Alina do wrong?
How painful it was for her to encounter something like that in her best years?
Alina took the glass of water and drained it with a tilt of her head.
Looking at such Alina, Andre wanted to say something, but especially when he met her painful eyes, the words that came to his lips seemed to be unable to come out.
Alina, "Caleb."
"Yes?"
"You go away."
Andre, "What do you mean?”
Andre, "I'll take you back to Shirling, Macy is already waiting in Shirling, now if only you'd go back."
Just go back to Shirling and everything will be fine.
"Seal my memory once more?" Alina looked at Andre with red eyes.
And at this moment, Andre clearly saw the despair under Alina's eyes.
"Everything will be fine."
"Everything will be fine?"
For all these years, all people saw her smile standing on the high platform, not knowing that all these years of smiling was just an expression for her.
She never knew what happy was.
For all these years, she had felt as if her world was empty, as if she had lost something very important.
"Over the years, I've wished myself to death time and time again." So, is that good?
Even if it is true that the memories are sealed away, is that better? Wrong, no, she's not better at all.
There are times when she walks by the water and she wants to jump in for some reason.
Even with some people, she felt inexplicably sad. Earlier she had been searching for the piece of her heart that was empty.
She was obsessed with finding it, and even felt a beast inside her ready to break through the confines at any moment.
"Alina." When he heard Alina say these words, Andre's heart even rose to his throat in this instant.
All these years in Shirling, neither Andre nor the Lawson family had ever seen this side of Alina's heart.
Some of her subconscious actions are really nothing more than her efforts at restraint, and when she fails to do so, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Why did they do that to me? Max must know, right?" Thinking about between her and Caleb, Alina lost her mind.
And when Andre saw such Alina, he only felt his heart pulling together.
"Why did he have to let Caleb marry me?"
He knew all about what was going on behind the scenes. When she thought of this, Alina only felt even more painful.
Andre, "They must have thought that you would never think about it in your life."
"So let me marry the man who raped me?"
