Chapter 464 Will Penny Survive?
Vanessa was gone.
Julia came in, looked at Caleb with heartache and said, "That child was not raised by your side since she was small."
"Do you think that Penny would have survived if Alina had stayed back then?" Caleb said in a sad tone.
Looking back, it was only that he felt that everything he did at that time was so outrageous.
Julia, "..."
The past was too heavy to face.
Once, when his wife was pregnant, he had to conceal the blood draw from everyone, even from Alina herself.
And all of these heinous acts were done all to save a woman.
Whether or not he and this woman were not in a relationship, what he did was unforgivable.
Julia, "Don't think about it."
Once, every time he talked about this, Caleb had been condemned in every way, now he was lying in a hospital bed, and Julia still couldn't bear it in the end.
She did not go on to condemn him for such behaviour.
Caleb, "She hates me and the child is afraid of me." Both are the biggest failures for a man.
Julia really didn't know what to say.
Eventually, with a sigh, she said, "Caleb, if Alina is really with Chester, you're in no position to say no, you know that?"
Before, when he knew that Chester and Alina were together, he made a fuss about it.
But in Julia's opinion, Caleb had no right to make a scene at all.
Caleb, "..."
Julia was right, he was not qualified to say no.
"I know."
"Now Alina probably won't want the child, so you have to get better. You've already failed Penny once, you can't leave the child without a father while her mother is missing."
Before, Penny had always followed Alina, so this time, shouldn't she return to him?
Caleb had tried more than once before to get Penny back to him, but knew that Alina would not agree.
And now, if Penny had no mother and father, what kind of pain does a child endure during that formative years?
"Caleb, get well, okay?" Julia said, even more distressed.
Now on Alina's matter, they do not want to say so much, the only thing they want is to let Caleb get well sooner.
Caleb was silent, but endless surge shone under his eyes.
...
That evening.
Caleb entered the emergency room again.
The situation, for a time, was in crisis, with Alby and Tristan waiting outside the emergency room, and Vanessa's hair turned gray overnight.
Her son had a difficult life, how could she really not care?
...
When Alina learnt that Andre had allowed Vanessa to bring the child to see Caleb, cold air rose up all over her body.
"How could you let her take the child away?"
"I..." Andre was going crazy.
Seeing Alina's reaction at the moment, it was clear that she still cared about the child. She just needed more time to accept it and digest it.
With that, Alina got up.
Grabbing her jacket, she headed out. It was now ten o'clock at night and it was freezing outside, already down to -20 degrees.
"What are you doing?" Andre grabbed Alina's wrist.
Alina, "Ingford."
Andre, "Alina!"
"When did I ever say I didn't want her?" Alina roared, tears streaming out of her eyes.
Would she not want Penny?
Penny was the child she had put her life on the line to protect back then, so how could she not want the child?
Alina doesn't care Caleb at all, but she is very worried about the child.
The child must not be allowed to be around Caleb.
She really hated Caleb.
"Alina."
"He's not qualified to see Penny even if he's really going to die." Alina shrugged off Andre's hand as she roared.
Her belly was that big back then.
The ultrasound sheet already showed clearly what the child had developed into, and she then, foolishly and gleefully, went to the office with the sheet to see him.
"You know what the one thing that makes me happiest with him is?"
"Alina." Andre's tone tightened, and at this moment, looking at Alina's reaction, he no longer knew what to say.
Alina said painfully, "That is the time to share with him what the child has grown into."
Andre, "..."
What women who become mothers love to share with others is the process of growing their children.
And Alina was no exception.
"Every time I went to the hospital after a check-up, I would send the ultrasound sheets to Caleb, and sometimes he would go with me and see the child on the screen with his eyes."
It's really nice to think back to that time when she didn't remember anything or know anything.
"Back then, I was really happy and blissful, but now every time I look back on it, I feel sick to my stomach and I feel like a fool."
"Alina, don't say it." Andre's heart trembled again.
He really is crazy.
He should be soft-hearted to Caleb.
As if she hadn't heard Andre's words, Alina continued, "I was full of happiness every time I shared the growth of the child with him, while he was thinking about how he could use my life and the child's to save Emma."
Andre, "..."
These words caused a shiver to run through Andre's body.
He was wrong.
How could he sympathise with Caleb? Even if he did die for Alina, he deserved it.
All this has nothing to do with Alina, doesn't it?
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was wrong." Andre stepped forward and pulled Alina into his arms.
And Alina is trembling at the moment.
Andre looked at the sky outside, and even if they went out now, the traffic was inconvenient.
So, he suggested, "We go to Ingford tomorrow morning, OK?"
This is the depths of Fragrant Mountain, and if they go out there, who knows what dangers they might encounter at night?
Even if it was Andre, as long as Alina was around, he did not dare to completely guarantee her safety.
"How can you let them take the child to him?" Alina said in Andre's arms.
And in Andre's heart, now, it was all guilt.
He should not have let the child go to see Caleb, he was really wrong.
