Chapter 5 The Director of Grandma’s Hospital
Andre personally took Alina to the hospital.
Because of what happened this morning, he didn’t dare to leave her side now, and Alina felt he was too nervous.
“What’s there to be afraid of? Now that Emma is in perfect health, he won’t come back to draw my blood”
“Don’t you dare”
Andre was also angry and couldn’t help but shout out.
But when he thought of Caleb’s usual methods, he couldn’t help but worry, “I will personally send you the results of Grandma’s matter, so you should leave it alone and go home early”
This is the only way she will be safest.
At the words, Alina silent for a while, spoke, “] can let you do other things, but | must personally to investigate this matter’
Andre didn’t know what Grandma Erica Cook means to Alina.
When Grandma Erica was alive, she gave almost all her love to Alina, and even when she was dying, she was worried about Alina.
The marriage between her and Caleb was also a result of a commitment from her grandmother to Grandpa Max, who was afraid she wouldn’t be able to take care of herself on her own.
But no one had thought that her marriage to Caleb would end up like this.
In the head doctor’s office, Mr. Dean heard Alina’s intention, “I’m sorry, but I’m afraid I’ll have to go through Master Caleb on this one.
Alina and Andre looked at each other.
And then they looked at Mr. Dean again, “Why do you need his permission?”
“Master Caleb is now our director, so…
Mr. Dean looked at Alina and said with difficulty.
Alina’s brow knitted again.
She remembered very clearly that when her grandmother was in this hospital, it was not owned by the Collins family.
Now, Caleb was the director of this hospital?
After coming out of the hospital, Andre’s face didn’t look good, and he looked at Alina with a serious frown and said, “I think it’s safer for you to go back to Shirling”
“You sense something fishy, too?” Alina’s voice was light.
Andre was the president of VIG, and this was his keen first reaction.
For how important the old Ms. Cook is to Alina, Caleb, as a husband, couldn’t possibly not know. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
For two years, no matter what happened in Ingford, Alina did not do anything, even the day Caleb and Emma announced their engagement, Alina was still attending Shirling’s high society parties,
relaxed as if Caleb was a stranger to her.
However, half a month after that incident, news broke that the old Ms. Cook might have died unnaturally.
Andre smiled, his eyebrows are even more serious, “You know what Caleb is, if this matter is really his intentional…”
Before Andre could finish his sentence, his phone vibrated.
Annoyed, he was about to hang up the phone, however, when he saw the number on it, he finally picked up, “Hello”
Andre’s face suddenly changed, on the scene the atmosphere has changed, “Okay, I’ll come right over” After saying that, he hung up the phone.
He said to Alina, “There is something wrong with the company, you go back to Mulherd Manor first, everything will be discussed when I return”
“Okay” Alina nodded.
Andre got out and left the car with Alina.
Instead of going back to Mulherd Manor as she was told, Alina drove straight to Apricot International Group.
The company was not shocked to see her, though.
In the president’s office, Tomas saw her and came forward respectfully, “You’re here’
And Alina looked at Tomas, who stopped in front of her, and frowned, “| have something very important.’
“Okay, wait a moment. Tomas said, rushed in to inform.
In less than a minute, Tomas came out, together with Emma with red eyes, it seems that she had cried.
As she passed by Alina, Emma shot her a resentful look.
“What do you have to be proud of?”
It was as if Alina was the cause of all her aggression.
Alina, however, still had a flirtatious smile on her face.
“Yeah, I’m just so proud of it”
She smiled charmingly, and without makeup she was even more beautiful in person than on screen.
Anyone who saw her would be attracted.
Emma was so angry that she wanted to kill Alina, but because of the many people in the company, she didn’t say anything more and walked away with her teeth clenched.
In the office, Caleb looked at Alina, who had only just shown up, and frowned, “Why are you here at this time?”
Alina stroked her nice nails.
Sarcastically, she said, “Interrupting your good deed?”
“Me and her, actually.”
“| have something very important to ask you’
Before the man could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Alina coldly.
In fact, Alina was not interested in knowing what kind of existence Emma was. She just knew that Emma was more than a wife and a child in Caleb’s heart, and that was enough.
Caleb looked at her indifferent look and a wave of irritation rose up in his heart.
Thinking about her rebuttal in the car this morning, he knew she was completely different from the well- behaved woman she was three years ago.
Today she was charming, but also sharp and cold.
“Go ahead.” Caleb spat out icily.
Alina, “You are now the director of Igford General Hospital?”
“Yes, what’s wrong?”
“That message that was deliberately put out to my grandfather?” She was talking about the news of her grandmother’s unnatural death.
Caleb looked at Alina and said with a puzzled tone, “When did you get a grandfather?”
How many things in her body that he did not know?
What Tomas found out this time was only the part of her work, while her private life abroad seemed to be completely buried.
Tomas dug deeper, but there was someone behind the block.
At first Caleb thought that the person blocking the message was her current husband Andre, but now it seemed that it was her grandfather whom he had never met?
Alina saw Caleb’s shock and confusion and she instantly had an answer in her mind.
It wasn’t Caleb who released Grandma’s news.
“Sorry for the interruption”
It was not him, and she didn’t have to tangle with him.
However, Alina had just gotten up and the man pulled her wrist, “Are you just going to leave?”
“What do you want?”
Alina was disgusted by Caleb’s touch.
Her emotions didn’t escape Caleb’s eyes, and he squeezed her even harder.
“| don’t know when the Collins Group’s office became a place where you can just drop in?
He can’t believe she didn’t want to see him that much.
He yanked hard and Alina fell right into Caleb’s arms, “Get off me’
“Is this about the old Ms. Cook?”
The original struggle stopped.
She looked at Caleb, shocked and angry, “Is it really you?”
“You went to the hospital, how could | not know?”
Caleb was actually shocked, obviously not expecting this news to reach Alina.
His long fingers rubbed her cheeks.
“Indeed, there is something strange about your grandmother’s death, | was originally also investigating it”
“Is that so?”
“You don’t believe me’
It’s not a question, it’s a yes. Caleb was unpleasant.
Alina laughed, “Do | have a relationship of trust with you?” With that, she shook off the man’s hand on her and got up.
She straightened the folds on the clothes, “Then, can you have Mr. Dean cooperate with me in asking a few questions, Mr. Collins?”
The title ‘Mr. Collins was called out loudly on purpose, highlighting the now distant relationship between them.
Caleb lit a cigarette and took two puffs, and the moment the smoke exhaled, he said, “If you want me to give you an answer, yes, but | have conditions’
Alina frowned, “You have the nerve to make a condition?”
“| didn’t do that, and since you want answers, | don’t think it’s shameless to make an offer, but it’s an equal swap’
“What condition?’ Alina was annoyed as hell and just wanted to know about Grandma quickly.
“Take care of your relationship with Andre immediately and move back to Werland Villa’
