I'm richer than my billionaire ex-husband novel Chapter 463

Chapter 463 Only a promise was made

And when Caleb heard Alina's attitude towards the child, there was an undisguised sadness under his tired eyes.
Pain spread over his heart.
"Caleb, the child has been thinking about her father all these years." Julia continued.
Thinking of the time he was in danger in the operating theatre, she and Vanessa were truly afraid of facing such a situation again.
Her father Alby and Brother Tristan have both returned, so it is clear that the whole Collins family has been shocked and frightened this time.
The door to the ward opened and Chester stood in the doorway.
Julia's eyelids jumped when she saw Chester, not expecting him to return.
"Chester." Respectfully, she stood up, while at the moment, Chester acted as if he didn't see Julia.
He walked straight towards Caleb.
Caleb was silent.
Chester, "Julia, get out."
"Chester, he..."
"Get out." Before Julia could finish her words, she was interrupted by Chester.
And Julia was really worried, after all, these two would fight when they met before, ever since that incident with Alina three years ago.
But now she dared not disobey her elder brother's words, and in the end she could only turn away.
The moment she went out, she called Vanessa.
However, in the ward, there was no scene as Julia feared, Chester was facing, full of reserved air, Caleb.
"Did you think about the consequences of this when you made this decision?"
Alina is, for now, not using Macy.
So his kidney was sacrificed for nothing.
"Yes." Caleb looked sadly out of the window.
"Macy didn't help." Chester said in a tight tone, clearly saying that Caleb had been impulsive in this matter.
And Caleb was silent.
Impulsive?
He just felt at the time that only Macy could save her, and was genuinely afraid that those memories would drive her mad.
So he didn't think about it that much, nor did he have time to think about it that much.
"It's always better to get a promise from Macy and use her when it is needed." Caleb said with a deep breath.
It's good to wait until Alina wants to use Macy.
And when Chester looked at Caleb, his eyes couldn't help but dim at this moment.
He uttered, "Many thanks."
Although Macy didn't help, but who knows if Alina will use Macy in her lifetime?
"I'm not doing it for you." Chester had just taken two steps out when he heard Caleb say this.
It wasn't for Chester, it was for Alina.
He would not have accepted Chester's thanks.
Chester, "I know."
Pausing in his steps, he, without turning back, only continued, "Caleb, this is the last time we see each other, I will not return to the Collins family in the future."
Caleb, "..."
As the words fell, the air of the ward was cold to the core.
Not going back to the Collins family? What does he mean?
Without waiting for Caleb to think of anything, Chester continued, "From now on we have nothing to do with each other."
In speaking of Alina, Caleb felt the heaviness of Chester's breath.
The next moment, he said, "It is not a matter of ethics who will be with her in the end, but if only she is happy."
This was the last choice Chester made.
He did not want Alina to be embarrassed, so he withdrew himself from the whole Collins family.
He could do anything for Alina. And at this moment, Caleb felt his kidney was nothing compared to
what Chester had done.
"Many thanks."
Chester was gone.
And Caleb sat weakly on the hospital bed for a long, long time without coming back to his senses. The fact that Chester had withdrawn from the Collins family was an invisible opportunity for him and Alina, and he didn't want to give up Alina.
Vanessa hurried back in time.
Chester has gone.
When she heard Caleb bring the words to her, at that moment Vanessa only felt her body go weak.
"I know what he means, it's to keep you from being embarrassed, and to keep Alina from being embarrassed." For a long time, Vanessa said in an unsteady tone.
Next, when Alina eases out of that hurt, no matter who she chooses, she will not suffer ethical condemnation.
Even she could choose to forget everyone.
"Penny." Caleb did not answer Vanessa's words again but looked at the well-behaved little girl standing next to Vanessa.
Meeting the child's wide, fluttering eyes, Caleb thought somewhat selfishly, let everyone go, he let go and everyone was better off.
But as soon as he thought of the way Alina was now treating Penny, he was heartbroken.
Extending a broad palm to the child, he was doting and helpless, "Can I hold you?"
And when Penny saw him, there was a subconscious avoidance under her eyes.
Seeing the child avoiding him, Caleb became more than helpless, obviously as a consequence of the previous time spent together.
Everything was caused by him.
He took a sigh of relief, not knowing what to say.
He should have been kinder to the child when they were together, and now it seems too late to regret it.
And Penny just looked at him, in silence.
Vanessa could see the loss under Caleb's eyes.
Crouching down, she whispered to Penny, "Penny, go ahead."
"I'm scared." The child muttered.
When no one was around before, she was still able to fight Caleb with vigour, but when she was really up against him, she was still afraid.
And when he heard the child say she was afraid of him, Caleb only felt his heart pulling together.
Vanessa looked at him with difficulty and Caleb said, "Don't force her."
He had left such a bad impression in her mind before, how could he bear to force her again now?
She is his daughter.
She has never enjoyed a day in her father's arms.
"Penny."
"Grandma Vanessa, I miss my mother." Penny said with tears in her eyes as she looked at Vanessa.
She didn't know before that she was coming to see Caleb, if she had known, this girl probably wouldn't have come.
Now, she was originally asked to trigger Caleb's desire to live, and now, her reaction was expected.
"Penny."
"I miss mummy." The child cried out helplessly.
And Caleb, now looking at the child with tears, felt heartbroken.
Watching the child cry, he said in a somewhat urgent tone, "Don't force her, take her back."
How could he bear to subject his child to internal torment when she didn't want to see him so much?
Vanessa had no choice but to take the child and leave first.
