Finally.
Caleb has no idea how he came to Waterside Villa.
He never came back to his sense from the time he learned the truth until now, standing by his car, smoking cigarette after cigarette.
Tomas stood respectfully to one side, wanting to say something, but at this point in time, he didn't know what to say.
Tomas, "Don't you want to go in?"
Looking at the cigarette butt at Caleb's feet, he said.
It's been more than half an hour since he got here.
However Caleb never had the intention to go inside.
Caleb, "What should I say?"
That he doesn't care about it anymore?
Or, was he wrong.
When Tomas heard Caleb say these words, he knew that the current Caleb, in fact, did not know how to face Alina at all.
"Miss Hughes is not going to let it go." Tomas said with a sigh.
Now, in knowing the truth, they knew how much Alina hated Caleb for doing all this during this time.
She, for one, really hates it, doesn't she?
No one expected that things would turn out this way.
Caleb pinched his aching brain.
"Let's go."
Clearly, there is no intention of going in.
Who believed Alina when she said those words over and over again before? No, in fact it was the whole world that believed what Alina said.
He was the only one who had never been willing to trust Alina with half a word.
Tomas, "Yes."
Just as the two were getting into the car to leave, Chester came out from inside.
When he thought of how close Alina and Chester were now to each other, a chill emanated from Caleb's eyes.
Seeing Caleb and then looking at those cigarette butts at his feet, Chester stepped forward, his eyes full of sarcasm, "What? Don't know how to face her now?"
When he knows the truth, he still makes such a defensive gesture.
He was Alina’ ex, and it is a bit much to protect the woman outside like that.
Caleb, "How is Alina?"
"Have you forgotten? Why did she come back to Ingford?" Could it be that Caleb had always thought that Alina had come back for him?
Actually Alina, who came back for her grandmother's sake, did not expect that this would be followed by the involvement of her parents.
Now this is something that is just in front of her.
The truth came out.
Yet it was destroyed by Caleb time and again.
......
Chester is gone.
And Caleb stood in the same place for a long, long time, but could not come back to his senses. Why did Alina come back?
He let it slip that something might be wrong with Erica's death and therefore lured her back.
No.
At this time, if Caleb ignores her, then she would really have nothing left in this world.
How could she be willing when all that she had endured in this world was painful enough?
"I want to see Caleb." Itwas spoken with such firmness.
"It's okay to see Alina."
Emma didn't know why, at this time now, she wanted to see Alina so badly.
Wasn't the humiliation Alina had given her when she was outside enough?
Why does she want to see Alina now?
"Miss Bell, I think we've made it clear enough to you that you can't see anyone outside, except for the lawyers, until we have the results on our side now."
The police saw Emma break down and said in a calm, formulaic tone.
And such a formulaic approach is now, in this moment, giving a very impersonal feeling.
"I want to see Caleb and I want to see Alina." Emma shouted even more frantically, wanting to see them.
Yet before when she was on the outside, she had always thought that what happened back then was so hidden, especially after all the years that had passed.
Surely no one will be able to turn it up.
Yet overnight, the truth was at stake. She was scared and trembling all over.
Think of all the supposed consequences of what Lois said to her earlier, if all of them were really turned up, she really wouldn't be able to get out of here alive.
Thinking of this, Emma's heart was even more in pain.
"I want to see Alina, I want to see Alina." Finally, in the heart of Emma at this moment, as if she had realized something, she shouted like crazy to see Alina.
