chapter 1289


    Anthony looked at her. “I''m watching you as you attract the butterflies."


    Charmine frowned. He seemed rather off ever since she told him about Frank''s operation.


    Was he not supposed to be happy? Why did he seem so worried?


    "Anthony..."


    Charmine wanted to ask him what bothered him when knocks were heard on the door, and in came


    Frank’s gentle voice, "Charmine, are you asleep?"


    Charmine decided to drop it in the end as she answered, "Not yet."


    She walked to open the door. It opened to reveal Frank, dressed in a white robe, as he stood outside


    the door elegantly.


    "Come on in, Frank." "No, thank you." Frank handed a small box to her. "This is the ink I madest


    night, and there are also other inks, brushes, and papers. These are for yourpetition tomorrow.


    They''ll help."


    Charmine took it from him and eyed the box. "Frank, you''re too kind."


    The equipment looked very high-end.


    She never saw Frank use them before. Perhaps these were his collections?


    "As long as they help," said Frank gently.


    "Yeah. Thank you, Frank." "You’re wee. Rest early." "Okay," said Charmine. "If you have any


    problem with your stay, juste and find me." "Okay."


    After Frank left, Charmine shut the door and turned back to the room, and Anthony eyed the things in


    her hands.


    Charmine felt his eyes on her and thought he was furious again.


    Her red lips parted slightly as she wanted to exin herself before there was a knock on the door


    again. It was Guy. "Ms. Jordan," he announced himself.


    As she paused for a moment, she looked at Anthony before she ced down everything at hand and


    headed to the door.

    "What is it, Mr. Granger?"


    Guy noticed that Anthony was also in her room. His tall figure thus remained outside the door as he


    reminded, "You haven''t had the migraine today. If you do get itter on, juste and find me, no


    matter howte it is. You won’t disturb me." i


    Charmine nodded. "Okay."


    She grew suspicious after Guy left. Why did both Frank and Guye to her at the same time?


    She closed the door and went back to the room, only to notice Anthony''s burden-filled expression and


    eyes.


    She sighed. Was he angry?


    She pursed her lips and exined, "Anthony, Frank came to give me his collections for thepetition


    tomorrow. Guy came to let me know I can look for himter on if I have a migraine."


    Anthony narrowed his eyes and beckoned her toe as he gently called out, "Come."


    Charmine did not understand him and eyed him suspiciously.


    What was the matter? Strange, it was.


    Charmine sat next to him, and Anthony reached out to embrace her.


    His solemn eyes studied her face as he looked at her forehead, then to her eyes, to her nose, and to


    her sexy red lips.


    After a long while, he said, "I know."


    He was not angry at all.


    He was just emotional.


    It assured him how many others would care about her if he became paralyzed or entered the


    vegetative state. With that, he could go look for Jenny andplete his end of the deal.
