chapter 918
Anthony frowned.
"Here?" he asked, tone low and yful.
He knew Charmine had always been bold, but he did not expect her to ask him to take off his clothes at
this kind of ce.
When Charmine saw the look on his face, she knew he misunderstood her.
She instantly exined, "Your wounds need to be cleaned. You have mud all over you, and they''d get
infected like this.”
Anthony''s eyes turned dull. That was it?
No need forthat, then.
"It’s just some minor wound," he replied, "there''s no hurry."
Charmine looked at therge surface of the wounds all over him and frowned.
No hurry? He was severely wounded, and these must have been caused by friction. Although the
wounds were only on the skin''s surface, their surroundings were wet. How could she leave it
unattended?
Just as she wanted to speak, Anthony turned his gaze upward to weigh on the situation.
The cave was as spacious as about ten or so square meters. The middle part was a mud pit with two
dry sides.
They leaned on the wall with their backs; they seemed safe.
However, the wall was coated with wet mud. They would not be able to climb up, so all they could do
was wait for help.
Noticing he was thinking of something, Charmineforted, "Don''t worry, Kay and the team will find us
in less than twelve hours."
The Gragoul team had always been powerful and capable.
Anthony''s eyes narrowed. Of course, he believed in Kay and his team''s capability, but he was curious.
How did Charmine get the support of these many people?
Before he could ask, Charmine had found some wooden sticks and leaves, and she knelt in front of
him.
"The most important thing now is to clean the wound to prevent infection," she spoke as she used the
stick to scrape off the mud around his wounds. Meanwhile, he used leaves to clean the wounds to keep
them clean for the time being.
Since his skin was hurt by friction, she worked on them gently. Charmine’s face looked gentle and more
delicate than usual.
Anthony watched her as he failed to bite back the growing smile on his face.
Meanwhile, she was very focused, and all she could see was him.
Even though the two of them werethered with mud and looked horrible, he said, "It''s quite nice that
we fell in here.”
Charmine frowned. ''Quite nice''?
He was fully wounded yet he did not feel the pain? He did not even frown and found it ''quite nice''?
She looked up, ready to tell him off but was captivated by his dark and loving gaze.
The way he looked at her made her heart skip a beat. Awkwardly, she looked away.
"Close your eyes and get some rest."
Anthony pulled at her arm that sent her toward him, sitting by his side.

He hugged her and said lowly, "No need to clean the wound, just keep mepany here."
Charmine wanted to move but his arms were wrapped around her tightly, i
She remembered that his arms were wounded. If she pushed him away, his wound might be torn open.
All she could do was let him hug her as she silently leaned into his embrace.
Anthony enjoyed this momentary bliss. 1
Outside, their lives had been fast-paced. They were either busy with their business or sorting things out
with people around them.
In this cave, he could hug her quietly and leave the city’s hustles and bustles behind.
If only time could pause at this moment...
Though, Charmine might be enraged if she learned about these thoughts.
It diforted them as mud covered them from head to toe.
Furthermore, it was her birthday banquet the following day yet they were stuck in this pit. There were
many things that needed her attention...
Despite all that, they had no choice. Charmine could only calm herself as they waited for her men to
get them.
Time passed, and the sky turned darker. Night fell as they waited still.
The forest grew pitch-dark, but that only meant the cave was even darker.
