chapter 1287


    Anthony met Charmine''s suspicion-filled eyes and gently caressed her face. "Sit properly."


    He then sat by her side and reached out with hisrge, warm palm to hold her small palm.


    Charmine turned back to look at him. She asked, "Anthony, what''s wrong?"


    He was absent-minded since the night before, and he never told her what it was about when she asked


    him.


    Anthony’s expression was gentle as he held her hands tightly. "It''s nothing."


    Charmine red at his tightening grip and frowned.


    "You make me feel as if I''m about to leave you."


    Anthony jolted at her words but reached out to ruffle her head. "What are you talking about?" i


    Charmine looked at him in confusion, but Anthony merely leaned on the chair, his hand still on hers,


    and closed his eyes.


    At the thought that he was probably tired, Charmine did not bother him as she leaned against him,


    silently staying at his side.


    The car ride was very quiet as they were on the road.


    Everyone was absorbed in their own world as they thought and nned ahead.


    Grandma Granger, who sat at the back, looked out the window and let out a sigh of relief.


    She could finally go back to check up on her little doll.


    She wondered how she was in the past few days. She prayed no one bullied her.


    She prayed that she found her mother.


    A few hourster, the car pulled over outside Violet Residence, where Luke waited at the door.


    As the car pulled over, he greeted, "Boss.”


    Anthony said, "Bring in the suitcases and arrange the rooms." "Okay."


    Charmine helped Frank to get in. "We''re here, Frank,” she announced. "Stay here for the next few


    days. The doctor will arrive in Burlington in two days."


    Frank nodded gently. "Sorry for the trouble.''''

    Faye looked at the luxurious vi, and her eyes lit up.


    Was this Anthony''s home? If she could be the mistress of this building...


    She fantasized at the thought and grew giddy.


    One day!


    That day woulde!


    After Luke sorted everything out, he walked over to remind them, "Madam, thepetition is


    tomorrow."


    Charmine nodded, "Mmh, okay." "Are you confident?" asked Anthony.


    "Yes." Charmine’s eyes were set aze in belief.


    Anthony looked at her lovingly. He believed in her, and he looked forward to her performance.


    Frank overheard that and offered, "Charmine, I''d like to be there when youpete tomorrow."


    Charmine made a sound of acknowledgment and said, "Okay. I don''t want you to get bored at home,


    anyway."


    Faye, at the side, chimed in, "I want to go, too!"


    She was not there to watch Charmine seed. She wanted Charmine to make an embarrassment out


    of herself!


    Nial wanted to say something, but Frank waved it off. "No. It’s been a day since you fell. You must get


    admitted right away!" "Brother!"


    Faye''s face sank. Everyone was going to thepetition. How bored would it be for her to stay in the


    hospital on her own?!


    Nial added, "Faye, you do need to get to the hospital to treat your leg as soon as possible."


    Faye bit her lip. "I don''t want to go. Since it’s alreadyte, it doesn''t matter to dy for another day!"


    Frank frowned. "Faye! Are you throwing a tantrum again?!"


    She thought of what Frank said to her yesterday and unwillingly muttered," Fine, I''ll go to the hospital."


    "Faye, Frank is trying to help you," coaxed Nial. "If you don’t get treated now, do you want to limp


    forever?" "Of course not!” Faye did not want to end up that way. She said, "Hurry and arrange an


    operation for me right away!”


    Nial said, "Alright!"


    He brought her to the hospital to arrange for an operation.


    The rest of them went back to their rooms, but none of them noticed a cleaner maid secretly sneaking


    out of the vi...
