Chapter 22
I’m Richer Than My Billionaire Ex-Husband Novel Chapter 22
Alina disappeared for three years.
His mind can often conjure up the look of she wandering around in front of him with her big belly.
She can often imagine how her hands were holding her stomach when she fell into the cold water of Hasnan.
Those images became his nightmare in the dark when he dreamed at midnight, haunting him for so many years.
“You bastard.”
Alina couldn’t break Caleb’s grip and was forced to kiss him, so she was furious that her heart was heaving so violently that she finally bit down.
The smell of blood was getting stronger, but still, he refused to let her go.
The phone vibrated suddenly and it was Caleb’s phone.
Finally, he let go of Alina.
It was his mother Vanessa calling.
This was the first time his mother had called him on her own initiative since Alina left three years ago.
He picked up, “Mother.”
“Come to the hospital right away, your grandfather is in the hospital.”
Caleb’s body jolted and his expression instantly became serious.
The phone call was not too loud, but in the quiet space, Alina could hear it clearly that Grandpa Max was in the hospital.
With that, her heart couldn’t help but tighten.
Half an hour later, Caleb and Alina were outside the hospital door, and outside the resuscitation room, Vanessa and Julia and Collins Castle’s butler were there.
Caleb’s father, older brother and younger brother are all abroad right now and are on their way back when they get the news.
When Caleb came, Julia came up in tears.
“Caleb , Grandpa…” Julia whimpered, obviously terrified as well.
Alina was dressed in home clothes, did not have time to change clothes and came straight over, now Vanessa saw her, even more not good face.
Caleb gave Julia a hug and soothed the girl’s heart.
Vanessa was facing the door to the resuscitation room.
She was so cold and lonely, if something happened to the old Collins, she would carry heavy burden.
Two hours passed, the door of the resuscitation room finally opened, the doctor came out sweating, Vanessa came forward, “Doctor, how is my father?” All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
“Mrs. Collins and Miss Hughes go inside, Max wants to see you.”
Everyone was surprised that the old Collins only wanted to see Vanessa and Alina.
Not even the closest grandson and granddaughter.
At this moment everyone’s eyes are looking at the doctor.
Vanessa looked back at Alina at this point.
The next moment, the doctor said, “You have to be prepared, the old Collins is older after all.”
The doctor’s words made everyone present tighten to the limit inside.
Alina, in particular, understands what it means when a doctor tells you to prepare your heart and what you have to endure after that.
She walked towards the door, when passing Caleb, there was a force on her wrist. His force was so heavy that he almost wanted to crush her hand.
His tone carried half warning and half praying, “At this time, don’t stimulate grandpa.”
The implication is clear, but it is also clear to everyone.
This time the old Collins was in the hospital, which most likely related to the morning’s report, and Alina knew it.
She shook Caleb’s hand off hard and didn’t answer.
And, of course, she knows what she has to do.
The moment she saw the old Collins, Alina just felt her breathing was hard, and Vanessa was already at the old Collins’ side.
“Father, they are all on their way back, you must be well.” The tone of voice was very gentle.
It was only in front of the old Collins that Vanessa changed her usual cool demeanor and became softer.
The old Collins was looking at Alina, who was standing not far away, and raised his hand with difficulty towards Alina and beckoned, “My dear Alina.”
