I'm richer than my billionaire ex-husband novel Chapter 461

Chapter 461 Caleb's Desperation

What Andre was most worried about now was what would happen if Alina never accepted the existence of the child.
What kind of damage does this do to a child?
"Go to school, I will be back soon, okay?" Andre instructed as he carried the child's school bag and handed her a glass of water.
When he said he would bring Alina back, Penny's emotions were slightly under control.
Very well behaved, she nodded to Andre, "Uncle, don't worry, I'll do as I'm told."
"Good girl."
Looking at the child with such understanding, Andre's heart ached.
At this moment, the thought suddenly sprang to him that if Alina really didn't want this child anymore, he will take Penny for the rest of his life and will never let anyone be able to have a chance to look down on Penny.
...
As he got into the car, his phone vibrated, it was Ingford's number and he picked it up, "Hello."
"It's me."
came Vanessa's heavy voice.
Andre froze for a moment.
Although Alina had been entangled with the Collins family all this time, he never had any positive contact with them.
After half a second of thought, Andre steadied himself and respectfully said to the other side of the phone, "Mrs. Collins."
"Mr. Francis, Caleb probably can't make it."
Andre, "..."
His hand that was squeezing the phone couldn't help but tremble, not expecting things to be like this at all.
"What's going on?" At this moment of opening his mouth, Andre's mind was 'buzzing'.
Although he had always hated Caleb before, it still surprised him.
On the phone, Vanessa gave a general overview of the situation, and Andre knew that Caleb had done those things for Alina before.
He did not expect that in the end, Caleb would even risk his life for Alina. He knew the danger of this operation.
But even at that time, he remained unconcerned.
And now the main purpose of Vanessa's phone call was to try to get him to send Penny to Ingford.
"Mr. Francis, I know it's not appropriate to say this, but now that Alina is missing, the only person I can look for is you."
The more Vanessa spoke, the more she choked up.
Once, Andre hated Caleb and wanted him to die, but now, when he heard Vanessa being so helpless, he was, surprisingly, speechless.
Eventually, he opened his mouth, "There's something urgent going on right now."
"Mr. Francis, if you're worried, I'll pick up Penny myself, is that okay?"
Before Andre could finish his words, he was interrupted by Vanessa.
If Andre was worried, she would come and pick up Penny herself.
Penny was not his daughter, he could not make the decision, but the key was Alina now missing.
All these things made Andre just feel that what he was experiencing now was the field of torment.
Finally, he answered, "Okay."
What else could he do?
Andre was now thinking about a question, if Caleb was faking it this time and he was going to snatch the child, will Alina, as before, still never give the child to Caleb?
Or she would actually want Caleb to have the child, and after that, she would never see the child again.
Andre didn't think Alina could do that.
"Thank you so much." Vanessa said excitedly when she heard that Andre had agreed.
From what he knew about Vanessa from Alina before, and from Vanessa's mood swings now, Andre thought that it was probably true that Caleb is dying.
Such a possibility falls on Caleb, and in this moment it surprisingly makes Andre feel so sad.
...
In the Hospital.
Caleb, who had fallen into a coma and woke up rarely, was running a constant high fever.
The doctor said this was a typically serious sequelae.
When Otto and Fabian came to see him, they felt upset in their hearts, Otto said, "I told him that this could kill him."
"Do you think he wants to live?" Fabian looked at Otto and said in a quiet and reticent tone.
Otto was stiffened.
Want to live?
After returning from Murray City, Caleb had always acted like he didn't care, and cared even less about his health.
He had such a major operation and never abstained from smoking or drinking.
This is even more of anathema to his health.
And the reason for his being so depressed is naturally that has completely move on.
Otto scratched his hair, "Where is Alina now?"
Why hadn't she shown up after all this?
Fabian was silent.
Otto, "No matter how much she hated him before, isn't that enough now?"
Is it enough?
Some times, for a woman's heart, dead can not make up, Fabian was aware of it.
And he had, once, experienced that pain, so now, even if he knew where she was, he didn't dare go near her.
Because, he doesn't deserve it.
...
Vanessa's action was quick, and after the phone call, she took a plane to Shriling in hours.
And Andre, after handing Penny over to her, rushed off to Fragrant Mountain.
On the plane.
Penny was happy to see Vanessa.
A child's heart is so simple that she actually knows who is good to her.
"Grandma, where are we going now?"
"It's to see..."
Thinking of Caleb's pale face in the hospital, she thought it would be better not to tell the child.
"Penny, can you tell Grandma if you miss Daddy?"
"Mum said Dad died a long time ago and I don't have a dad."
Vanessa, "..." Hearing this, tears instantly welled up in her eyes.
Alina never wanted to let Penny know who her father is, and how can tell the child that her father is in this world, and yet about to die?
"Don't you know where Mummy went?" asked Vanessa.
Penny shook her head, "No."
Speaking of Alina, Penny's mood slumped.
She missed her mum, but when was she coming back?
"Uncle will bring Mummy back." Vanessa felt Penny's emotions and gently soothed her.
Penny was her granddaughter, and Vanessa was doting on Penny.
