Alina closed her eyes, listening to his heavy, painful breathing on the phone, her heart seemed to have been torn open in a big, bloody gash that hurt so much that she was equally suffocated.
Chester was waiting for her response.
Yet at this moment, listening to the somberness in his tone, she dared not even respond.
Eventually, she silently hung up the phone.
...
Chester heard the 'beep' hanging up sound coming from the phone, and in the dim space, those eyes were so sharp.
As his phone had just been disconnected, his phone vibrated, he thought it was Alina, and those originally sharp eyes instantly had light in them.
However when seeing the number on it, his eyes became dim.
It was Vanessa calling, and Chester hung up without thinking, but the next moment, the call came in again with persistence.
Eventually, Chester picked up, "Hello."
It was cold and detached.
Vanessa froze for a moment. Over the years, their relationship had always been very good.
However, during this period of time, with this attitude of Chester towards her, Vanessa realised that it might not only be because she did not support him and Alina to be together.
Does he actually know something?
But she didn't dare ask.
Those things, after all, had an absolutely shattering and terrifying effect on the relationship between them, and even on her position in the Collins family.
"Tomorrow at noon, come back for dinner." Vanessa took a deep breath and said to Chester.
Chester, "I am in Eglinton."
Vanessa froze again, where Alina was, Chester would be there.
If Alina didn't remember everything, fine.
But now, it's different.
"There's a flight and it won't take much time to get back, so I'll have the kitchen prepare what you like, okay?"
The implication was for Chester to rush back.
And at the moment, Vanessa was patient on the phone.
Ever since Caleb's affair, she disliked Chester.
Chester frowned as Vanessa hung up the phone.
Andre came to Eglinton because he knew that Chester was over here, he was still more or less uneasy about Alina.
Knowing that Alina has not seen Chester until now, he knows what kind of suffering Alina is now enduring in her heart.
"The show is over, shall we go back to Shirling?" Andre said as he looked at Alina.
Alina nodded, "Yeah."
Andre, "I'll have Declan find out everything as soon as possible."
Because of Declan, they finally know that there are quite things behind the scenes have not surfaced.
Alina bowed her head and clenched her hands into fists.
Andre gently stroke her hair, "Are you afraid?"
Back then, when they were in the most pain, they allowed themselves to forget everything, but they endured more and more painful suffering.
And now, soberly weathering the emotional storm with Chester, she hurts all the more for it.
"Alina." Andre took her in his arms, closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Since it's so painful, let's not investigate, okay?"
"No." Alina spat out without even thinking.
The death of a parent, the death of a grandmother cannot be so unclear.
"I would have liked that Emma was the end of the line." But it wasn't.
The person behind this is really deep, he had set up a relationship.
Who is so horrible?
"Did the hughes family have any enemies back then?" Andre asked Alina.
And in talking about the enemies of the Hughes family, Alina felt her brain chaos. Mom and Dad are both knowledgable people, Grandma was gentle internally and arrogant externally, given all the protection she had for her family.
Such a person should not have any enemies.
"You mean, not only Vanessa, but possibly... " There are others?
When she thought of this, Alina's heart was raised to her throat in this instant.
Andre frowned at her as Alina said, "Check it out."
Now, she can't remember anything.
The only thing that is clear is that Vanessa and Macy were involved back then, so follow this clue, it would be found out.
