I'm richer than my billionaire ex-husband novel Chapter 478

Chapter 478 Let him live to suffer

Stella did not have dinner at home.
This has caused Sophia and Libby's original affinity plan to fall apart.
"I told you, she's crafty as hell now." Libby said viciously.
They've arranged everything, but Stella didn't take the bait, so they're really pissed off.
"What's your hurry? We still have plenty of chances." Sophia said.
Libby, "But that bitch is so defensive, how are we going to get it?"
"..."
"Mom, you have to know that as long as Stella leans on the Marsh family, you and Dad won't be reunited for a day." The point is that right now, they weren't able to pull out.
Previously, Sophia had been the dominant legal entity.
Now, realising that it was a blind spot for them, she was restricted from leaving the country when they were supposed to pull out together this time.
What's more, Stella saw through it all, leaving them with nowhere to throw this mess.
Sophia gritted her teeth, "I'll make her suffer."
...
Vanessa had already arrived in Shirling and met Alina.
And Alina didn't expect that while Chester was over in Ingford, Vanessa appeared here, and this time they met, Alina clearly sensed the change in Vanessa.
Taking a deep breath, she said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Vanessa never liked to go out of Ingford. So to come straight to Shirling, there must be something important.
Alina knew better that this matter had something to do with Caleb.
And, it was something that couldn't find a break from Chester.
Vanessa knelt in front of Alina, who was stunned by the scene in front of her.
"Alina, I know you hate him with a passion, but now, please go back, you're his hope, even if you're not with him, at least now, let him live, okay?"
Vanessa said in pain.
In her heart, she knew very well that Alina was the hope in Caleb's heart.
Why is he in a coma all the time now, with very little time awake?
It was because, in his heart, he had no desire to live, and he saw no hope for his future.
Therefore, even if he had a long sleep, he seemed to be fine with it.
Alina's heart rose and fell, and the coldness under her eyes was shown.
She looked at Vanessa icily, without saying a word.
Vanessa, "I know it's hard for you, but Alina, his life is at stake, and he will be in this state because of you."
Alina closed her eyes.
Listening to Vanessa's words, her mind went blank.
There was a time when Vanessa was such a proud person in her heart, why did she ever kneel down to others?
In Ingford, no one dared to disrespect her at all, yet now she was actually kneeling to her.
"Get up." The moment she opened her eyes, her tone had gone cold to the limit.
Vanessa, "I won't get up unless you go back with me."
Going back?
When she heard these two words, Alina's already ice-cold eyes were now overwhelmed.
Ingford was a place she hadn't wanted to go back to since she left, and she didn't want to go back to that place.
Now, Vanessa wanted her to go back?
"So, you are now telling me to go back and be with Caleb?" At the moment, for that earlier support.
Alina only felt it was so ridiculous.
Alina never knew what kind of person Vanessa really was, but the contrast was inevitably saddening.
Vanessa's heart was aching when she heard the coldness in Alina's tone, she said, "Even if you don't stay together, at least stay by his side during the time he's out of the hospital, okay?"
At the moment, her tone was full of supplication.
His life was at stake, how could she, as a mother, bear to let her child die like that without any hope of survival?
Knowing, exactly, what it would take to keep him alive, how could she stand by and do nothing?
"Alina, he's like this because of you."
"Do I care? Did he ever ask me what I really wanted when he made such a decision?"
She didn't need any sealed memories from Macy at all, she didn't need this opportunity at all, it was his doing.
In the end, he touched only himself.
"Yes, it's not what you need, and if he dies like that, won't you feel guilty?"
Vanessa said in pain.
"He's Penny's dad, have you thought about what you're going to tell Penny when she's older?"
These few words, in this instant, stimulated Alina's nerves.
Yeah, that's Penny's dad.
Under her eyes, there was cold, sullen pain.
Penny's dad?
No one knew exactly how Alina had come through all this time because of the words 'Penny's father'.
She couldn't accept it and hated herself for her incompetence. If she had been strong enough to pull through, how could she have married her rapist and given birth to his child after her parents' accident?
If she had remembered all that, she wouldn't be in this state now.
So now that things have come to this point, even if Alina wanted to hate, she didn't know who to hate.
The only one she could hate was herself.
"Alina, for Penny's sake, save him, okay?" Vanessa took Alina's hand and prayed.
Alina, "I'm not a doctor."
"But you are good medicine for him, Alina, just seek peace of mind for your own future, okay?"
"..."
"It was him who owed you, you can't owe him because of this, it's fate."
In Vanessa's opinion, if Caleb really died because of this, Alina would find it difficult to have peace of mind for the rest of her life.
Later, when she faces the grown-up Penny, what will be the answer then?
"Even though he has faults, let him live and suffer."
Vanessa thinks really clearly and organises her words quite well, if not for Penny, Alina would really watch Caleb go to his death.
And when asked how she was going to answer to Penny, she got scared about grown-up Penny asking such a question.
"Give me some time." Alina took a deep breath, even when faced with such a difficult question, she was unable to make a decision in person.
Caleb had hurt her too much, so now even if he was teetering on the edge of life, she could not be completely soft-hearted.
