I'm Richer Than My Billionaire ex-husband

Chapter 704 Ignoring All and Yourself

Margot said it was only a minor injury.

Alina, however, went into the resuscitation room for a full two hours before the doctor came out in a sweat.

When he saw Chester, respectfully, he stepped forward, "Mr. Collins."

Everyone here knew Chester.

Chester frowned and looked at the door of the resuscitation room, Alina was still inside, there was an unconcealed panic in his eyes.

He asked, "How is she?"

"Miss Hughes is out of danger for now, but..."

The doctor looked at the people present and hesitated, and the next moment Chester said, "But what?"

"There should be surgery as soon as possible."

Brandon and Margot subconsciously glanced at each other, both bewildered.

Surgery?

What surgery? What was wrong with Alina?

Chester nodded, "I know."

Soon, Alina was pushed out from inside, the wound on her knee already treated, and her face was white.

It was only at that Margot remembered that Alina did not look well during this period of time.

They all kept thinking she was just too tired.

After all, with all that has happened, how could she not be tired? But now she and Brandon realised that things were not as simple as they had thought. "Mr. Collins, what's wrong with Miss Hughes?" In the ward, Alina hadn't woken up yet.

Margot asked apprehensively.

Since the doctor has said that she needed surgery, this should not be a minor illness for her, right?

Brandon, too, looked at Chester's back.

Chester looked at Alina, whose face was pale, and there was an indescribable sorrow and pain in his eyes.

Andre confronted with Fabian, both Yupto and Bangon have agreed to enter the product testing.

Brandon's call came in, "Hello."

Andre spoke, his tone not exactly kind.

Brandon, "Mr. Francis, something goes wrong."

Andre frowned.

Nellie came in the office, and Andre was very unhappy about Nellie's appearance.

With a glance, he withdrew his gaze on Nellie and said to the phone, "What's wrong?"

Andre's heart was in a panic for no reason.

In his opinion, Brandon was with Alina, so what he said must have something to do with Alina.

Brandon, "Miss Hughes is sick."

"Sick? She has a cold?" Andre's first thought was that Alina's health was already bad, and it was possible that she often caught a cold.

To put it more seriously, that was a bad cold?

However, Braodon's words shocked Andre's heart.

"Leukemia."

Andre felt his brain go blank, thus blocking out all sound.

The words 'leukaemia' were constantly tearing at his senses.

"Leukemia?" It took a while for Andre to find his voice.

Nellie, who was sitting on sofa waiting for him, had her eyebrows knitted as she heard this.

She didn't know what else Brandon said on the other side of the phone, but Andre now looked very bad.

Andre's phone was slammed on his desk, he got up, grabbed his jacket and was about to head straight out the door.

"Is Alina sick?" Nellie stood up, and Andre looked at her silently.

Nellie stepped forward, "I can..."

"No need." Before Nellie finished her words, Andre turned around and left.

Nellie stood in the same place, just felt a great deal of heat. How much he really hated her? Even if it was such a big problem about Alina, he wouldn't let her interfere.

...

Alina woke up after a sleep of unknown duration, still feeling weak, with Chester by her side.

Seeing her wake up, Chester touched her forehead, now that her temperature was back to normal too.

"Are you thirsty? Want some water?"

Alina moved her lips, only to feel that not only was her body weak, even her lips were numb with no feeling.

Chester looked at her pale and bloodless face. This was leukaemia, a raging attack on the body's immune system.

Only after Alina drank some warm water did she feel better slightly.

She was to get out of bed.

Chester, however, stopped her, "What are you doing?"

For Chester to block her, Alina obviously didn't understand why.

She was unaware that she was ill.

Chester, "You can't leave the hospital now."

True, she was weak, but wouldn't she be fine once she'd taken her cold medicine?

"Abby." Chester uttered.

His eyes carried an unprecedented heaviness, and Alina frowned, "What?"

Her tone was cold.

Chester took her into his arms.

No one knew what kind of heartache Chester had, so much so that he found it difficult to even breathe.

Alina, "Let go."

She still disliked and instinctively rejected Chester's touch in this way.

But anyone who has hurt her once will be subconsciously avoided for the rest of her life.

It goes to Caleb before, and it is the same to Chester now.

Chester, "Do as I say."

He was firm in his tone.

It was the first time he had been so assertive with her since he had chased her to Shirling.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

As if, back to the very beginning, it was gentle but with an unquestionable command.

"Heh." Alina snorted.

The strength of Chester's hold on her at this moment was heavier.

Alina, at this moment, clearly felt the trembling of his body. He was afraid? Afraid of what?

A bad feeling rose in Alina's heart at this moment.

"What's going on?"

Chester was stunned.

How could she not know that something so big had happened to her?

Or perhaps she was just too busy these days, with her heart so preoccupied with her career that she neglected everything and herself.

Was she punishing herself, or was she punishing him?
