The surgery was set for half a month later.
The medical professor gave Chester a clear analysis of the risks involved, and as Chester listened, his heart tightened.
"The risk must be minimised." He would not allow Alina was in any danger.
After hearing these surgeries, it took Chester to realise just how much risk was involved, but he couldn't stand the thought of her taking even the slightest bit of risk.
As he came out after the meeting, Annie waited for her.
She hadn't even had a chance to talk to Chester since she had spoken to Macy on the phone.
When Chester saw her nervousness to speak, his eyebrows knitted together and a deep, dangerous light flashed under his eyes.
Annie, "Let's talk."
"Do you think you're in a position to make a deal with me now?"
Annie had always known how terrifying Chester was, but she had never expected him to be this terrifying.
"It doesn't matter to me." Annie said with sweat running down her back the moment Chester passed her by.
Chester paused in his tracks.
The moment she looked sideways, Annie even more clearly felt his knife-like sharpness.
For a long time, unable to get a response from him, Annie gathered all her courage to meet the sharp gaze, and with one glance, she was frightened to avoid it.
However, she didn't.
Exerting all her strength, she met his dark gaze, "I know your people took my sister away."
When Chester's people went there, they did not forbid Macy and Annie from contacting each other, for what purpose exactly, it was self-evident.
Annie saw the light under his eyes, and she choked on her words, "I just like you, I just want to marry you."
"..."
"Why must you do this to me?"
"Made up your mind?"
"Yes."
Annie nodded her head.
Chester snorted coldly, "What do you think marrying me now at this juncture will do for you?"
There was too long a road ahead, and it was more than a happy day to be a bride.
And the so-called 'happiness' was destined to be lost to her when she decided to marry Chester.
Annie knew exactly what Chester meant.
She met his gaze with her hands clenched in fists, "I just want to marry you."
Her words were spoken with such firmness.
As if it didn't matter what it would cost her to marry Chester.
The air was frozen.
In all the years in Eglinton and Ipswich, no one had ever dared to threaten Chester, and even if there were one or two, they would not end up well.
And now Annie was threatening him because of Alina.
"She has surgery in half a month." Chester's tone was tough.
As for the conditions Annie proposed, he didn't answer. Yet Annie, at this moment, clearly felt the threat in his tone.
Annie took a deep breath, "You don't have to threaten me, I've been on medication since I got on the plane."
Chester, "..."
