Chapter 456 He gave in vain
Three months ago, when Caleb was in Murray City, all he got at any time was the news that Alina would be in danger if she could not see Macy.
Under such a shock, he begged for the chance to see Macy Moon for her, even at the cost of a kidney.
Yet she did not use it?
What does she want?
Midnight.
Caleb returned drunk to Werland Villa, the place where he and Alina had lived together for two years, and where he had been daily since his return from Murray City.
The door of the wardrobe opened, inside still Alina's clothes neatly hung.
And this night.
Caleb then sat in her room until dawn.
When Tomas came to pick him up, he saw the dark circles under his eyes and the unconcealed exhaustion in his eyes.
"Sir?" Tomas was alarmed.
He knows that Caleb has not been in good shape these past few months, but his current condition is not suitable for staying up late like this.
Caleb lit a cigarette and asked, "Where is she?"
Tomas' heart was shocked at the words.
He didn't expect him to be looking for Alina in such a hurry now.
Shaking his head, he said, "No news yet."
Although they had sent someone to look for her last night, she had been missing for so long after all, and even Andre and Chester had no idea where she was.
So it's probably not easy to find her now.
Caleb, "Find her as soon as possible."
Can she really survive the onslaught of those memories without the use of the Macy?
On this point, Caleb is very worried.
Tomas nodded, "Yes."
Looking out of the window at the rapidly receding scenery, Caleb's eyes were filled with suppressed sadness and melancholy, this road was most familiar to him.
When Alina was around, he would return from this road every day, yet what was commonplace for him then has now become a luxury.
He asked for nothing else, only that she be well.
...
Today is a holiday.
Everyone in the Collins family went back, except for Chester and Caleb, and Chester didn't come back because he was over in Eglinton.
But Alby and his father abroad had both returned, and his mother hadn't asked anyone to inform him to return for the holidays, which showed the indifference of the attitude.
Good thing Julia called him, on the phone, Julia said, "Caleb, you should not blame mother..."
When she said this, Julia stopped.
What kind of pain did Chester endure when he left Alina back then?
And at this time Caleb understood better that his mother was blaming him for his problems earlier in life.
That night was a set-up, he didn't know anything. If he had known about Alina's relationship with Chester, he would not have touched a finger of her even if his veins burst and he died.
And he would have known even less because that night Alina would go mad, let alone know that his elder brother would suffer for so many years.
"I know." The breath on Caleb's body at this moment was so soft, so sad.
There was so much sabre rattling with Chester.
Now all that remains is endless desolation.
When Julia saw Caleb's attitude like this, her heart felt bit more for him, and she said with a sigh, "Chester didn't come back today either."
"Okay."
After knowing the truth, one knows that meeting between brothers can be so difficult.
Julia wanted to say something else.
Yet hearing the heaviness of Caleb's breath on the phone, she swallowed it all down again.
...
And the one who had the worst time during these three months was Chester, who was waiting and worrying all the time.
He knew exactly what kind of pain Alina was suffering when she remembered everything, and now at this time, where was she?
What kind of pain and suffering she is enduring?
Both Ronan and Lucas were devoted to the focus of finding Alina, yet so far, there was still no news.
"Sir." Ronan returned and looked stonily at Chester.
Chester's eyelids fluttered as he looked at his stony eyes, suppressing the emotion in his heart as he asked, "Any news of her?"
"No."
Why hasn't there been any news of Alina so far, she really doesn't want to see everyone anymore?
After all these years, he is still the last person she wants to see?
No one knows exactly what kind of pain Chester has endured all these years, and he wants to be by Alina.
He hated himself for not being there to protect her properly when all that happened to her back then.
If, back then, he had never left, then between him and Abby now, there must be happiness and prosperity, and even a child of his own, right?
Unfortunately, there are no ifs.
Not only did he leave the country, but he put Alina through such pain and even more chaos in her world.
Today, Alina wants to see no one.
She doesn't want to see anyone as long as they have something to do with that part of her past.
Ronan said, "I feel that Miss Hughes' disappearance might be related to Andre."
Looking fiercely at Ronan, he asked, "What did you say?"
"Andre's whereabouts lately have been a bit confusing." Ronan said after thinking about it.
On the surface, Andre was anxious and had been searching for Alina's whereabouts.
But it's been three months. Up to now, the Lawson family, especially Zane, didn't look anxious at all.
In Ronan's view, it was possible that Andre knew, and that the Lawson family knew.
At this moment, Chester thought of this, and a deep light shone under his eyes.
"Andre knows?" He asked.
And then, getting up and grabbing his jacket, he headed outside without looking back, apparently to go to Andre and ask for clarification.
Ronan hurried to follow.
For three months, there had been no news from his side, and if to say that there was no one behind this interruption, Chester did not seem to believe it.
Now, Ronan's words were a reminder to him.
...
Andre now has a daily headache with the kid.
Sending the kid to school, he'll be asked questions all over again, and after school, he'll even have to face the voice of this child.
"Uncle."
"Yes?"
"Where is Mummy?" Penny was an extremely intelligent child.
Now the so-called 'busy' is not at all perfunctory to her. If Andre dared to say Alina was busy, she could immediately cry.
