Chapter 451 Still Can't Face It
Hearing Chester's voice only made Alina's reaction heavier, and eventually Andre stepped forward to protect Alina in his arms.
To Chester, he said, "You go first."
This moment, more than anything else, gave Chester a glimpse of what happened back then, when Alina's parents told him to leave.
At that time, Alina reacted in the same way when she saw him, and she, who was already delirious, would have been more seriously irritated by the sight of him.
Even Alina's parents were on their knees begging him.
He, who wanted so badly to be by Alina's side, yet faced with such a scene.
He had to leave.
"Andre."
"Let her stabilize for a while." Andre finally understood the difficulty Chester had back then.
At that time, he had the same reluctance under his eyes that he has now. If he could, he would not want to leave Alina half a step.
But she had to leave.
Finally, Chester turned around, "I'm outside."
As it was then, just watching her from afar.
Without Chester, how could Alina get better, as her nerves were being pounded?
A voice in her head was a constant reminder that she had married a rapist and had given birth to a rapist's child.
Today she is so full of stains that even the purest rain could not cleanse her heart of its many holes.
...
Outside, Chester, listening to the movement that quieted down little by little inside, pinched his aching brow and felt only so much pain.
Lucas's number flashed on the phone, and it was picked up, "Sir."
"Has Macy come to Shirling?"
"Knowing that you are in Ingford, she has now gone straight over to Ingford." Lucas said over the phone.
Previously, she was someone who didn't even leave Murray City, but this time she would be so kind as to rush from Shirling to Ingford?
But if only that's good for Alina.
Hanging up the phone, Chester pinched his aching brow, thinking that Alina hadn't eaten anything, he went to the kitchen to make her something to eat.
What does she like to eat?
Andre had managed to pacify Alina and was ready to make her something to eat, it had only been a few days and she lost a lot of weight.
However, just as he reached the kitchen, he saw that Chester had already made the noodles.
"You..." Looking at the colour so tempting, Andre only felt that Chester was the most perfect man in the world.
Good looking as he was, good in cooking too
How could God have been so rude to him? To let him and the woman he loved suffer like this.
"Give it to me."
"Okay." Chester, who wanted to watch Alina eat with his own eyes, but knew that the last person Alina wanted to see right now was him.
Andre walked in with the noodles.
Alina sat in front of the wooden window in a daze, her current mood is a cause for concern.
"Alina, eat something." Andre brought the noodle forward, and Alina remained silent.
This is how she is now, either shouting like a madman in a frenzy or being so quiet as to make people feel worried and scared.
"Look how thin you've gotten." Andre said.
Before, when she was silent like this, she could still talk about the child. But after just now, how could Andre still dare to mention the child in front of her?
Crazy then for the man who violated her that night. And now crazy for knowing that it was Caleb that night.
She has two years of marriage to Caleb.
How could she bear it?
Alina was silent.
Andre put the bowl down and went forward to pull Alina's hand through, "Alina, Grandpa is old, he doesn't even know it now."
And when talking about Grandpa, Alina's originally closed heart, those hollow and desperate eyes, little by little, regained light.
Andre knew that by blood, her grandfather was now her only family, and that he loved and mattered to her.
After losing so many loved ones, her grandfather was naturally a very important presence to her.
She could forget everything but her grandfather, never.
"Grandpa?" Alina murmured softly, and the pain in it could still be heard in her breath the moment she opened her mouth.
At this moment, Andre suddenly felt even more that Emma deserved to die.
What kind of damage did that night cause to Alina back then? Yet she had used that night to get to Caleb.
And the man who had already wounded Alina hurt her a second or even a third time.
"Yes, Grandpa doesn't even know what happened to you yet, I lied to him and said you had a big international show you had to attend and left Shirling."
Alina couldn't really hear the words of Andre.
But now, when she heard the word 'grandfather', her eyes were even more exhausted and even choked with pain.
Tears fell down.
The light under those eyes was now filled with bitterness.
"Alina." Andre held her in his arms, thinking at that moment how much he wanted her never to remember these unpleasant past events.
What did she have to endure back then?
Now that she remembered it so suddenly, the impact was so great for her.
Alina was in Andre's arms, crying like a child, while Andre just held her and soothed her softly, "Cry, cry out, and it will be fine."
Yet those who knew what Alina had gone through back then would know that now, for her, it was not so easy to get past.
Back in the day, Macy was used.
Alina's heart, turning over, only felt her consciousness being washed away, she was in pain.
The most she could feel now was pain.
Andre, "Let's have something to eat, shall we?"
Alina, "Is Grandpa okay now?"
"He doesn't know anything."
The so-called not knowing anything is just a temporary hiding, but if time goes on, this is not an option.
When she heard her grandfather, Alina was even more distressed.
When Andre saw that Alina was not moving, he continued, "Grandpa had a checkup a week ago, and many of his body functions are not just degenerating, but failing. The doctor said that the old man will not have much time left in this world, Abby, don't let him worry about you in his last few hours, okay? Be strong."
Back in the day.
She had been held in high esteem, so she couldn't bear the thought of being hit that hard.
And now, she has so much to think about.
For example, Grandpa.
Andre could see that the current Alina could not bring up Penny, and if she did, she would be more emotional.
But the good thing is that she cares for her grandfather in her heart, and it is good to have care, and she would discipline herself even more, and to be even stronger.
