I'm Richer Than My Billionaire ex-husband

Chapter 593 Penny Sides with Mom

Alina's body was drenched in sweat, obviously caused by the medicine for her high fever, and Caleb frowned as he smelled the sour smell of her body.

A basin of hot water was brought in, but just as he was about to untie the collar on her sweat-soaked neck, Alina woke up leisurely.

When she saw Caleb's hand landing on her collar, both of their faces changed.

"You..."

"No, no..." Caleb withdrew his hand.

Alina's body was weak, obviously the after-effects of a high fever, Caleb said somewhat unnaturally.

"You're drenched in cold sweat and I want to wipe it away."

"No, thanks." Alina said in a light tone.

Caleb, "Wash your face, it will be better."

"Do you know how I got the fever?" Alina asked.

Caleb's face sank.

The hands that were grasping the towel couldn't help but shake at this moment.

The two looked at each other, her eyes were so calm, yet they let Caleb see the embarrassment she was trying so hard to hide.

His original anger dissipated instantly.

He took her hand in his, "It will all pass."

Will it pass?

So, how long will it take?

There is something behind it now that they obviously haven't seen clearly.

In Alina's opinion, things would not pass so easily at all.

"Get Pola here." Alina said in a sullen tone.

In fact, Pola had come before this, only each time she came, Alina was in a drowsy state.

And now Alina wanted to see Pola.

She saw how ruthless Chester was towards her, then it seemed to her that Chester would definitely not be soft on VIG.

So she needed to know how VIG was doing now.

"Okay, you eat something first and I'll tell her to come."

"I don't want to eat."

"You have to eat, or, it will be very bad for your health." Caleb was telling the truth.

She hadn't eaten once since she had been in hospital and she would be even worse off at this rate.

Seeing that Alina does not speak, Caleb continued, "How are you going to get Penny back when you're not well?" At those words, Alina froze.

The thought that Penny was still in Chester's hands and living with Annie made Alina's heart clench together. She had seen the dark side of Macy, so Annie, who was Macy's sister, would not be a good person either. Thinking of those, she sat up, took the porridge handed over by Caleb and ate it quietly.

At the moment the study has a sombre atmosphere.

When Ronan reported that Caleb was now in hospital, the already gloomy atmosphere was now even darker.

"What about Andre?" There was no answer to the question about Caleb.

When he left from here, he had already seen the attitude of his brother was already completely on the opposite side of the fence from him. In this way, he naturally did not need to be polite.

"Right now VIG has him burnt out." Ronan replied after a moment's thought.

The fact that Alina has not even rushed over from Shirling after this situation shows that the Shirling is really making Andre anxious now. Chester laughed, tinged with a bit of irony.

Ronan, "Now, what is to be done?"

"Proceed as planned."

"Okay." Ronan nodded, alarmed.

Never mind that those people now didn't understand why Chester had suddenly became ruthless.

Even Ronan and Lucas, who were following Chester, did not react to why Chester was suddenly so ruthless, as if to completely destroy everything about Alina. When Ronan went out and Chester was left alone, his eyes shone with wolf-like sharpness.

In the afternoon, Penny was taken by Chester over to the funeral home, yet at the moment Chester was about to get into the car with Penny in his arms. Penny, "Can I not go?"

Her soft voice was not of solicitation, but of clear resistance.

Chester looked at Penny, but there was a clear doting under his eyes, he liked the child, a lot.

Especially the child's soft hair looks so smooth.

"Why don't you want to go?" He gave doting pinch of the child's cheek.

Penny, "Because Mummy doesn't want me to go."

Chester, "..."

At this, his face instantly sank.

Penny is very smart and an extremely good at reading people's minds, and at this moment saw Chester's sunken face, her tears instantly overflowed from her eyes. Chester held back his anger, yet his face betrayed the emotions deep inside him.

Seeing this, Annie rushed forward, "Give me the child."

Upon hearing this, Chester gave Annie an icy glance.

Annie, "The child is still young, why are you doing this?"

Chester looked at her coldly.

Annie, "Penny, come to me, OK?"

Looking at Penny, which was similar to Alina, Annie was actually disgusted. But she held back her disgust and held out her hand to Penny with a smile. Penny, however, embraced Chester's neck, "Daddy."

Her voice was soft with resignation, but with the same toughness as Alina's. Chester could dote on Penny in other matters, but insisted in this matter.

"Buy you your favourite toy when it's over, okay?" Clearly, there was no room for negotiation in this matter.

The child lowered her head sadly, while Chester ignored her resistance and carried her straight to the car.

Annie looked at the way Penny had just treated her and just felt like her lungs were going to explode, how dare this damn girl treat her like that?

When Chester and her got married, she would clean up this girl.

Penny can't be a stumbling block between her and Chester, if so...

Just thinking about it, there was a flash of hostility in Annie's eyes.

In the car, the child sat in Chester's arms, and Annie sat beside her, looking dotingly at Penny, "Penny, sit in the seat, okay? Or daddy will get tired." Penny didn't even look at Annie.

Looking out of the window, there was unhappiness in her eyes.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
