chapter 1434


    If Anthony truly was leaving Charmine, William would want to stay and look after Charmine.


    Nheless, he would not court her as he stayed by her side. He would take care of her as a friend,


    hoping that she would not take it too depressingly.


    Furthermore, everything happened because of his mother, and William merely wanted to take care of


    Charmine to redeem her.


    Anthony looked straight at him. "Do you think I''d joke with a matter like this?"

    William pursed his lips and thought for a few seconds before, finally, he nodded. "Okay, I promise you."


    Anthony then shifted his gaze to Charmine, pained and unwilling.


    He had no choice... If loving her meant he would hurt her in the process, he would rather not love her


    altogether.


    Anthony stayed by Charmine''s side and took care of her until daylight broke. He waited until her body


    temperature had returned to normal, and when she was about to wake up, he called for William. "You''ll


    take care of her from now on. Let me know when she wakes up. If she asks about me, just tell her that I


    never came."


    William sighed. "Mr. Bailey, you really don’t have to hide this from her. If she finds out that you took


    care of her throughout the night, she won''t be mad at you."


    Anthony pursed his lips.


    This was why he had to be strict. Knowing her, she would be suspicious.


    Anthony muttered, "Just do as I said."


    William could not even say anything as Anthony left without turning back. Gazing at his retreating form,


    William then looked at Charmine, who was still in bed, and sighed heavily.


    They were so close in getting married, yet such a thing befell upon them...


    How upset would Charmine be when she woke up?


    Nheless, he took care of Charmine in the ward until she woke up that afternoon.


    She gradually opened her eyes, and the memories before she passed out slowly came back to her.


    She looked around and only saw William in her ward, looking at her emotionally.


    Her eyes dulled, unable to hide the disappointment in her eyes.


    Was Anthony not here?


    William noticed how crestfallen Charmine looked, yet he gently called out," You''re awake, Ms. Jordan.


    Do you feel any difort?" "No," responded Charmine hoarsely. "Did...Anthony note?"


    William buried the emotions that welled in his eyes as he replied, "No."


    Charmine''s heart sank, yet she persisted, "Is he busy now, or did he never show up? Is there


    something I should know?"


    William saw a glimmer of hope left in her eyes, and he did not want to say harsh words to her, but...


    Anthony had made up his mind, and William did not want to let him down. He thus said as he was told,


    "He knew about your situation, but when Mr. Granger and I called him, he said he was busy."


    "Cough...cough...cough...!”


    Charmine was so angry that her face turned pale. She choked and broke out into a coughing fit.


    That man! Him, busy? How busy was he?


    William quickly poured her a warm ss of water. ''Til call him now."


    The pale-faced Charmine, however, shook her head. "No need."


    If he truly did not want toe and thought that work was more important than her, what was the point


    of asking him toe?


    She did not need to beg for his attention.


    Charmine took a sip of water to soothe her chest, and she looked at William. ''Thank you, Mr.


    Peterson." "It’s okay-just have a rest," said William. "I''ll now call the other doctor toe examine you."


    He thus left her ward, leaving Charmine still in bed.


    Her fingers curled up gradually.


    She once thought she was the person who understood Anthony the most in this world, but...
