chapter 1408


    As Charmine was about to correct the nurse, the nurse left her to attend to other matters, leaving her to


    reluctantly bring the medication back to William''s ward.


    Anthony would surely get jealous if he found out about this. They were about to get married, and she


    did not want anymore unwanted incidents to happen. Furthermore, she had to go home to continue


    nning for their wedding.


    After a few seconds of hesitation, Charmine walked to the office to have a personal nurse take care of


    William, paying for his medical expenses to boot.


    She told the personal nurse what the other nurse instructed her, and she went back to the ward.


    "Mr. Peterson, I need to leave now. If you have any problem that you don''t want to bother others with,


    you may call me."


    After all, she was the reason why he got hurt.


    Despite the unwillingness in his gaze, he nheless said gently, "Okay. Go ahead with your day-don''t


    mind me."


    Charmine nodded and left.


    Meanwhile, the individual in ck watched as everything happened, frowning.


    Why did she leave so soon? He did not get any intimate photos yet!


    The person looked through the photo album and found a few shots of Charmine with her back facing


    the camera, wiping the sweat off of William''s face.


    He looked at the album furiously. He sent out the photos and texted, [ Apologies, Ms. Waverly.


    Charmine had left, and I only have these two photos...]


    Waverly eagerly waited for the photos. How great would it be if she could agitate Anthony with them?


    Much to her chagrin, however, she was sent photos that had not much of a substance.


    Curses!


    This was such a good opportunity, and it was all wasted.


    However...


    She would have other chances in the future, and she would not let Charmine off so easily!


    ''Just wait for it, Charmine!''


    Two days had passed, and Charmine was finishing up with the wedding nning.


    She expected Anthony toe home today. She apanied Chris to water the nts early in the


    morning as she waited for him toe home.


    However...


    He did not even return, even as afternoon came.


    Charmine phoned him, but the phone was turned off.


    She frowned suspiciously, not understanding what happened.


    Why was Anthony so busy in the past two days? She phoned him a few times, but his phone was


    always turned off.


    Uneasiness stifled her.


    Nheless, Anthony never lied to her. He said he woulde home tonight, and he would keep his


    word.


    Charmine thus waited patiently, yet even as it got to 3 p.m., Anthony was still not home yet.


    His phone was still powered off!


    Charmine was uneasy and impatient. She pondered for a moment before finally calling Luke.


    Luke quickly answered the call as he said politely, "May I help you,


    Madam?"


    Charmine asked, "Why did Anthony turn off his phone?"


    There was a pause before Luke answered, "President Bailey is sorting out some challenging matters


    as we speak."

    Charmine frowned. "He doesn''t even have time to pick up his phone?"


    Luke sighed deeply, trying his best to calmly exin, "Madam, please wait for a little longer. When


    President Baileyes hometer, he''ll exin to you. This matter is important, and I''m not in the right


    ce to speak for him, so please don''t make it hard for me."


    He sounded troubled in the way he spoke.


    Charmine narrowed her eyes, though he had a point; Luke was only an assistant.


    She asked, "He''ll be home tonight, right?" "Absolutely! Luke answered with certainty.


    Charmine felt calmer at his assurance. "Alright, then."


    Luke let out a sigh of relief. Thankfully, she did not persist on the matter, or he would have scrambled to


    find an exnation for her.


    After hanging up. Charmine resumed her matter at hand.
