And Chester, who was already unsettled inside, saw the fresh blood gushing out of Vanessa's mouth, and his pupils fiercely tightened.
"You..."
"Chester, promise me you won't stay with her, I hate her, I really do, she, she's..."
Vanessa collapsed onto the cold floor, and her words were no longer clear.
Those eyes carried her supplication and reluctance for Chester.
...
Alina was going crazy, and everything in Oklens had to be stopped. Leaving Brandon to stay there and make arrangements, and she set off on the road to Oklens.
Caleb got the news that she had fainted and when he rushed to the hospital, Andre had already taken her out of the hospital.
Andre was going to Eglinton with her.
Andre's phone vibrated again, he picked it up, "Hello."
Alina went inside the security check.
And then Andre followed her in and grabbed her wrist with such a heavy force that Alina, even though she was mute at the moment, couldn't help but frown, "What's wrong?"
"Vanessa died."
At the moment, Alina was completely lost in reaction, looking at Andre woodenly.
Her world was already chaotic, and now it was straightforwardly chaotic to the point of blankness.
"What happened?" Alina's inner mind was full of thoughts, yet at this moment it was somewhat incapable of responding.
Andre, "She killed herself."
Alina's mind went blank.
Andre wanted to say something when he looked at Alina, yet he didn't know what to say at this moment.
The news was sudden for them, and more crucially, no one expected Vanessa to be so extreme.
At one time, whatever was in front of her, she was fearless, but now she killed herself.
Now, overnight, it was as if something had shattered in their world.
"Andre." Alina called Andre's name in a wooden voice, wanting to say something, yet she didn't know what to say.
Andre, "Everything is none of your business."
Yet these words, at the moment, are so powerless and pale in Alina's world.
The people who killed her parents and grandmother have finally paid the price, yet she seems to be involved in a new round of feuds.
That is Chester's resentment towards her.
Because of Vanessa's death, Chester now hates her.
"Do you think he's going to take revenge on me next?"
This, presumably, is what they say about retribution, right? In the end, they don't know whose fault it is.
Andre did not expect things to be so convoluted as they had developed so far, as if no one had really unravelled anything.
On the contrary, it makes things worse and worse.
"He won't." Chester of the past literally would not.
But now, when Andre answered this question, it carried a touch of uncertainty.
The Chester of once would not, but what about the Chester of now? Will he?
Alina heard the uncertainty in Andre's tone, the corners of her mouth lifted into a bitter smile, surprisingly not knowing how to answer the question.
Seeing the bitterness on the corner of Alina's mouth, Andre could not avoid heartache.
"Don't worry, I'm here with you."
At this moment, as at any time before, Andre stood by her, no matter what was going on in Alina's world.
Alina said, "I do hope he gets back at me."
"Alina!"
This is one of the most vicious of Edison's calculations.
...
Alina wants to find Edison, and when it comes down to it, she doesn't know exactly what she wants to do.
Just want to find him and even skin him.
Chester soon knew that Andre was looking for Edison and even knew that Alina had gone to Eglinton.
All the trials of the case against Vanessa had ended with her sudden death.
In the white hearth, the white chrysanthemums seem to be another grandness after the death of a person.
"Is Penny in Eglinton?"
"Yes." Lucas nodded.
Hearing Penny, there was a flash of softness under Chester's austere eyes, but in no time it went down more somberly.
His eyes are closed, and even then, the bitterness and danger underneath them cannot be concealed.
"Get Ronan back, and..."
Now now, it's all to the point of removing Ronan from her, so much so, what exactly is his attitude towards Alina now is obvious.
...
Because Andre was around, neither Ronan nor Caleb could get half a step closer to Alina now.
When Alina and Andre got off the plane, Andre said, "The child is in Upper Royal Manor."
It was the place where Chester lived in Eglinton, when Vanessa came over here before, she stayed over there.
Alina, "Let's go straight there."
Right now she just wants to get the child back as soon as possible, she doesn't want to worry about other things for now.
Penny, at this juncture, cannot show her face in Chester's world.
