I'm richer than my billionaire ex-husband novel Chapter 593

Chapter 593 Penny Sides with Mom

Alina's body was drenched in sweat, obviously caused by the medicine for her high fever, and Caleb frowned as he smelled the sour smell of her body.

A basin of hot water was brought in, but just as he was about to untie the collar on her sweat-soaked neck, Alina woke up leisurely.

When she saw Caleb's hand landing on her collar, both of their faces changed.

"You..."

"No, no..." Caleb withdrew his hand.

Alina's body was weak, obviously the after-effects of a high fever, Caleb said somewhat unnaturally.

"You're drenched in cold sweat and I want to wipe it away."

"No, thanks." Alina said in a light tone.

Caleb, "Wash your face, it will be better."

"Do you know how I got the fever?" Alina asked.

Caleb's face sank.

The hands that were grasping the towel couldn't help but shake at this moment.

The two looked at each other, her eyes were so calm, yet they let Caleb see the embarrassment she was trying so hard to hide.

His original anger dissipated instantly.

He took her hand in his, "It will all pass."

Will it pass?

So, how long will it take?

There is something behind it now that they obviously haven't seen clearly.

In Alina's opinion, things would not pass so easily at all.

"Get Pola here." Alina said in a sullen tone.

In fact, Pola had come before this, only each time she came, Alina was in a drowsy state.

And now Alina wanted to see Pola.

She saw how ruthless Chester was towards her, then it seemed to her that Chester would definitely not be soft on VIG.

So she needed to know how VIG was doing now.

"Okay, you eat something first and I'll tell her to come."

"I don't want to eat."

"You have to eat, or, it will be very bad for your health." Caleb was telling the truth.

She hadn't eaten once since she had been in hospital and she would be even worse off at this rate.

Seeing that Alina does not speak, Caleb continued, "How are you going to get Penny back when you're not well?"

At those words, Alina froze.

The thought that Penny was still in Chester's hands and living with Annie made Alina's heart clench together.

She had seen the dark side of Macy, so Annie, who was Macy's sister, would not be a good person either.

Thinking of those, she sat up, took the porridge handed over by Caleb and ate it quietly.

...

At the moment the study has a sombre atmosphere.

When Ronan reported that Caleb was now in hospital, the already gloomy atmosphere was now even darker.

"What about Andre?" There was no answer to the question about Caleb.

When he left from here, he had already seen the attitude of his brother was already completely on the opposite side of the fence from him.

In this way, he naturally did not need to be polite.
