Because Chester was there for dinner, Penny and Alina ate in their room while Chester and Caleb were in the dining room.
The meals here were now special and were cooked to the standard that Alina could now eat.
Cold cutlery collided and both were speechless.
Just as Chester put down the napkin in his hand, Caleb spoke up, "Has Annie been dealt with?"
The most worrying thing now was Annie.
Chester, "She is confined to the room."
After the incident with the Hughes family, Alina lived in the Collins' for such a long time.
They all knew about her character, and if she would have known that the person who matched her bone marrow was Annie, Alina would probably not agree to the operation.
Caleb, "Have someone keep a close watch so she doesn't catch a chance to escape."
Annie was now a carrier of Alina's bone marrow though.
But Caleb still had nothing good to say about this woman.
In fact, what he didn't know was that even at this time, Chester was actually looking for another bone marrow donor.
With Penny around, Alina was in a better mood, so she ate better.
"Mummy."
"Yes?"
"I want Princess Elsa." Penny pouted in Alina's arms.
Alina, "You have many toys."
Ever since the child got into toys, it'd been all about the puzzles and all that difficult stuff. Princess Elsa were bought by the adults.
"That big devil bought a very nice one."
Alina, "Who?"
"That bad guy." Although she didn't let Chester bribed her, she loved that doll, but she eventually gave it back to Chester.
It was because she knew that something unpleasant had happened between Chester and Alina before, and she was always on Alina.
Alina, "He bought your favourite Princess Elsa?"
"Yes, that's a nice dress."
"Then why didn't you take it?" Alina's tone was more doting.
It was pretty hard for the child.
Obviously she wanted it, yet because of the past, her desire was restrained.
In fact, she was just a child, and no one would blame her even if she took it.
"He's trying to bribe me, Mummy, don't you forgive him." Speaking of Chester, Penny said righteously.
This child was mature.
But Chester went to the airport to pick up Penny and was fully prepared to take advantage of Penny.
But there was so much going on between them that these things could not be solved by bribing Penny.
Had he forgotten how he had hurt Penny before in Ingford?
"Mummy, you mustn't forgive him." Seeing that Alina did not speak, Penny said in a weak tone.
To put it bluntly, the previous psychological shadow was still too big. Although Chester had changed for the better now, after seeing the most terrible side of him in Penny's mind, she could not forgive him.
Alina stoke Penny's hair, "Okay, I will do as you say."
Her tone was doting, but firm.
