All these years in the Lawson family, Penny was treated well.
She was never forced to do anything she didn't want to do.
Of course, she was a well-behaved child, and many times she behaved well, under the tutelage of Megan, she was generous and polite, but she was thirsty for father's love.
Even though there are so many people who love her, that complete love for her mother and father seems to be what children are made of by nature.
Now that she has arrived at her father's side, but is losing her mother, it is a blow to Penny.
Chester never thought of that.
Once she was able to chase Alina from Shirling to Ingford alone whenever she missed Alina.
And what about now?
She was prevented from seeing her mother by her father.
Just as she was about to reach the funeral home, the child finally spoke, "Daddy."
"Yes?"
"I miss Mummy."
With those words, the atmosphere in the compartment instantly chilled.
Especially Annie, when she heard Penny say that she missed Alina, her heart turned upside down and she wanted to tear the girl apart.
Her sister was right, this girl was just going to be the biggest obstacle between her and Chester.
Hands clenched into fists, she tried desperately to hold back the anger in her heart.
...
Alina was discharged from the hospital and Caleb personally sent her back to Mulherd Manor, where at the moment Alina was nestled on the sofa with a pale face, covered with a blanket.
Caleb sat opposite Alina with his hands clenched into fists.
Alina felt painful even when she moved her body at this moment. Chester was really ruthless.
"Penny has been taken to the funeral home again, right?" She said hoarsely.
Just the thought of Penny and Chester kneeling together in front of Vanessa's spirit tablet made her heart aching.
Since recovering her memory, she never had to bear with the fact that Vanessa was Penny's grandmother, yet Chester was taking the child.
Just thinking about that image, Alina couldn't help but tremble all over.
Caleb looked at Alina and moved his lips to say something, however, the words that came to his lips were all swallowed in the end.
After Caleb took a call, he got up and said to Alina, "I have something to deal with."
Alina did not speak.
She had said everything she needed to say to Caleb, and he came to her again and again.
She was no longer able to say anything else.
Her greatest wish now was to take her child with her, and all the people and things here had become irrelevant to her.
Caleb left.
When Alina was alone, her heart, moreover, trembled terribly.
Pola came over, "Miss."
"How is it over in Shirling?" Alina asked, looking at Pola.
It had been three days, and in those three days she had not spoken to Pola because she had been drowsy.
And when Alina asked about the situation over in Shirling, Pola's face instantly stiffened.
