Chapter 481 Soft and Hard Means

Penny nodded her head when she heard Zane and Megan, "Yes."

Megan brought up the child, and after being separated for so long, the child would miss her.

The source of security in her heart is still in Shirling, still in Megan and Grandpa.

Alina gently stroked the child's head, "Do you want to go back to Shirling first?"

She didn't want to be separated from her child either, but when she thought of the current situation in Ingford, the child stayed with her, as if she would be subjected to all kinds of scenes at any time. She doesn't want to leave such a shadow on her child's heart.

Just as Penny was about to nod, Vanessa suddenly appeared, "No."

It was said so firmly and seriously.

Alina and the child looked towards the other end of the corridor.

Vanessa walked briskly towards them, looking at Alina and said, "Are you trying to get Caleb killed? Now the child must stay in Ingford!" In Vanessa's opinion.

Now whether it is Penny or Alina, they are both the hope in Caleb's heart, so they both have to stay in Ingford.

Alina gave an air of danger.

Vanessa sensed the danger on her and took a deep breath and said, "Alina, I am begging you, don't leave now, okay?" Chester watched his mother become what she is today, the light under his eyes dimmed even more at this moment.

It was the same attitude she used to tell him back then, begging him to go away.

But anyone who has been there knows that things can get out of hand even if they keep going.

she is well aware of it.

"Abby, I'll have Ronan send you to Waterside Villa first." Such a scene was the last thing Chester wanted to see.

And when Vanessa saw that Chester was so protective of Alina, and even had someone send her away at this time, she was instantly furious. "She hasn't even seen Caleb yet."

"Ronan." Not waiting for Vanessa to finish her words, she was interrupted by Chester.

He said with a tough attitude.

Vanessa was trembling, and his heart was even heaving.

The icy aura on Vanessa was radiating outwards.

Ronan stepped forward, "Sir."

"Take them away." At this moment, Chester's tone was all cold and dangerous.

And Alina looked at such Chester, her heart was suddenly sore.

She had never seen Chester like this before, especially when it came to his family, and yet now, because of her...

Ronan stepped forward, "Miss Hughes, come with me."

Seeing this, Vanessa subconsciously wanted to stop, but she was grabbed by Julia, "Mom, I have something to tell you."

Before, she has seen what it is like when her mother's heart is soft and she protective of the weak.

But now when it was seen again, Julia was shocked.

Alina had seen Vanessa in this state before, so it was not at all surprising to see this now.

Finally nodding, she left with Ronan, while Vanessa originally wanted to stop, Chester was in front of her.

"Chester!" Vanessa's tone, at this moment, was heavier.

Chester, "He can't blame anyone for getting to this point."

"Is this the time to blame anyone?"

"You're blaming Alina."

"I didn't!" Vanessa said in a sullen tone.

She didn't blame anyone, she just felt it was time to do something about it, taking a deep breath and pressing down on the heaviness in her heart. "Chester, you need to know what the priorities are."

"Your priorities are for people to compromise?" Chester's tone, at this moment, was sharper.

Vanessa, "..."

Compromise?

The way Chester looked at her was so sharp.

In Chester's view, she personally seeked to go to Shirling this time to force Alina to compromise.

"I didn't have to make her compromise anything, I begged her."

"And did she have room to refuse?" She put morality all over the place, and anyone, who refused, was going against the moral grain.

"If you don't figure out how you want her to come to terms with this, from now on she will stay at Waterside Villa and won't come to the hospital."

After saying that, without waiting for Vanessa to say anything else, Chester turned around and left.

Looking at Chester's back, Vanessa was trembling with anger, "Am I wrong?"

Looking over at Julia, her eyes were full of pain.

Julia, "..."

As she said, she just wanted the priority of things and and do something at this time, she didn't ask for more than that.

But it is this request that is itself wrong.

"Mum, since Alina has arrived in Ingford, you should not say anything else, Chester knows what to do."

As Chester's attitude towards Alina, Chester will not even agree Alina comes to Ingford, .

But now that Alina has come to Ingford, it shows that Chester has compromised on this matter.

If this goes on, things will only get worse than they are now, and they will gain nothing from it.

Vanessa, "But Caleb is dying now."

Just the thought of Caleb being on the verge of life made Vanessa angry.

"And it's because of her, how can she be so cold-blooded?"

Thinking of this, Vanessa was angry.

Julia wanted to persuade her, however, now facing Vanessa, nothing could be said.

Alina took the child back to Waterside Villa first, she originally wanted to go back to Mulherd Manor, but now that she came to Ingford, Chester probably didn't even feel good in his heart. After thinking about it, she finally dismissed the idea of going back to Mulherd Manor.

When Chester returned, he saw the mother and daughter playing together and was just about to go up to them, Lucas came.

"Sir."

The moment he opened his mouth, not only his face was grave, but even his tone of voice was very grave.

"What?" Chester looked over at Lucas.

Lucas subconsciously glanced in the direction of Alina, and Chester frowned, "Go to the study."

"Yes."

Lucas withdrew his gaze on Alina and Penny and turned to follow Chester upstairs.

Upstairs, downstairs, two different auras were formed, downstairs was gentle and peaceful, upstairs this was gloomy covered with murderous aura.

About two hours later, Chester came out of the study, the breath on his body was heavy at that moment, and the look in his eyes towards Alina carried a huge wave of shock.

No one knew what was surrounding him at the moment, and walking over to Alina, he took her in his arms.

He wanted to suppress the dangerous aura he carried and, as always, was always gentle in front of her, no matter what happened.

But now this danger cannot be suppressed.

"What's wrong?" Alina sensed Chester's difference and turned back to look at him, yet Chester was holding her tightly.

"Don't move, let me hold you for a while." It was clear that the person was right in front of him, and it was clear that it had only been years apart, but it was as if it was a lifetime away and he would completely lose her.
