chapter 656


    Charmine merely replied, "I don''t have time now. I''ll go to the ward to visit Robert and Grandpa."


    With that, she walked into the hospital.


    Adam could only watch as Charmine went into the building, his eyes glossed with helplessness. He


    deserved to be treated coldly, considering he was the one who treated her badly from a young age, and


    that was probably why Charmine was swapped at birth. Charmine went through so much pain due to


    Adam wronging this ''adopted daughter’ of his.


    All he could do was use the rest of his life and atone for his mistakes, proving how he had changed for


    the better to Charmine...


    Charmine first went to the VIP ward for Robert.


    Senior Jordan kept his watchful gaze on Robert, and he was ted to see Charmine walking into the


    ward. "Oh, you’re here, Charmine. Have a seat!"


    "No need, Grandpa. I have other things to attend to, and I''ll have to fetch Momo from school. I came


    here to pay you two a visit. How''s Robert?" asked Charmine.


    "Don''t worry about your brother," assured Senior Jordan, "he''s doing fine. The doctor said that his body


    parts are in good condition, and he could wake up anytime. The medicines prescribed by Doctor Weir


    surely are effective!"


    "d to hear that, Grandpa. Do take good care of yourself, and once I''ve finished dealing with the


    things at hand, I''lle home and spend time with you," promised Charmine.N?velDrama.Org ? content.


    "Alright, do settle your matters. Let me know if there''s anything I can help," Senior Jordan reminded


    her.


    Charmine did not need his help on any of her matters, however, and she went to the top floor after


    talking with Senior Jordan.


    The top floor was a special space that only Nial, Anthony, and a few high- ranking doctors could enter.


    That was where Annabel was housed so she could recuperate, along with her parents.


    Charmine keyed in the passcode. After arriving on the top floor, she saw through the window that


    Annabel''s small yet resilient figure wasying on the bed inside the ward.


    Charmine''s fingers moved. She wanted to go in but decided against it.


    Her presence would only unsettle Annabel, and Charmine barely had any word of assurance to ease


    her.


    The only way she could help Annabel ease her internal storm was to surrender Anthony...


    "Charmine?"


    Suddenly, a deep and hoarse voice came from her back.


    Charmine snapped out if and saw Anthony coincidentally walking over.


    He had a bowl of soup in his hands, about to enter the ward.


    She frowned. "What''s that?"


    "Nothing. Nial is busy, so I''m helping him to bring this nourishing soup to her. Wait for me here; I''ll be


    out soon."


    Anthony spoke as he marched into the ward.


    As there was a pir in the ward, those from inside the ward could not see what happened outside.


    Charmine had to watch Anthony walk into the ward with the bowl of soup in his hands and see him


    giving it to Annabel.


    A strange feeling, one that should never exist, was aroused in her. 1


    "Please don''t mind about this, Ms. Jordan." Waverly walked to her side and exined in her soothing


    and gentle voice, "Annabel is in a bad state today, and while people can sleep for four hours, she could


    only sleep for an hour with constant nightmares, and that’s with constant nightmares. 1


    "If this went on, she''d fail to conceive this time around. Therefore, I''ve made some changes to the n-


    this is so that Mr. Bailey doesn''t act as distant to Annabel. 2


    "Annabel''s mental knot is unable to be untangled, but if she can feel what everything she''s doing is for


    her friend, to wish the best for him, she''d feel better. Furthermore, Annabel had done so much for Mr.


    Bailey, so he should at least treat Annabel as a friend." 1


    That clicked for Charmine; so that was the reason why.


    Waverly had a point: Anthony had given Annabel the cold shoulder as though she was a mere


    business partner. This would make Annabel feel as if she was merely a tool or an object.


    If she was treated like a friend, Annabel might feel better.


    However, this also implied that Anthony should treat Annabel nicer...


    They should have been a couple for ten years, yet at that moment, all they could do was be in close


    proximity...
