I'm richer than my billionaire ex-husband novel Chapter 23

Looking at the old Collins' frail and pale appearance, Alina instantly couldn't help but get red-eyed and went up to kneel beside the old Collins, holding the old Collins' hand.

"Grandpa." Her cry was all choked up.

The old Collins sideburns seemed to instantly become snow white.

After looking at Alina, with pity for Alina in his eyes, he asked in a gentle tone, "Is he good to you?"

"Grandpa."

Alina's voice choked up again.

No questioning, no blaming.

There was nothing but endless worry. After receiving Stella's call in the morning, Alina saw the news.

The first reaction was that the Collins must have hated her.

However, when facing her grandfather at this moment, Alina also realized what she was facing.

It hurts, as if even breathing hurt.

the old Collins sighed, "I failed your grandmother's trust."

"Grandpa, don't say that."

"Do you know why your grandmother named you Alina? It's because of your grandfather, and as a reminder that your marriage can easily disintegrate, she wanted to tell you not to let marriage be all you have in your life."

The name 'Alina' was given by Alina's grandmother, that was, when Alina was born.

Grandma and Grandpa had been divorced.

Alina's voice was even more choked up.

"Alina, you are doing well, I know your career is going strong now, and now a man treats you well, I can see that man is better than Caleb and more blessed than him."

"Grandpa."

"Father."

The old Collins seemed to not hear them.

"Go ahead, Mr. Morgan is already outside." the old Collins said.

Finally, Vanessa and Alina come out.

As the old Collins said, Mr. Morgan was waiting outside, and when he saw them, he nodded respectfully and stepped inside.

"Mom, Grandpa's going to be okay, right?" Julia stepped forward and took Vanessa's arm nervously and sadly.

Alina met Caleb's eyes.

Just one glance, she subconsciously avoided.

Within minutes of Mr. Morgan going in and coming out again, the doctor came out, "I'm sorry, Max is no longer alive."

"Mom." Julia cried out.

At the moment the hospital corridor was so cold.

Alina just felt as if her breathing was a lot harder.
