chapter 1437
Anthony did not dare turn back, only daring enough to nce from the corner of his eyes how
Charmine ran toward him, bare feet, and blood dripping down her arm.
He clenched his fists tightly. His body was so tense that his temples pulsated intensely.
God knew how badly he wanted to turn to her, how badly he wanted to hug her.
s, but all he could offer was a silent apology...
He could not give her a future.
A pain that wouldst only a short while was better than agony that lingered longer. Everything would
be alright once they got past the storm.
Charmine would not have to live her life with him burdening her...
With that in mind, he tried his best to mask the pain in his heart and walked into the lift coldly.
Charmine stood before the closed elevator doors, barefoot as blood dripped down onto the white floor.
It was a heartbreaking sight.
She watched as the elevator descended a few floors, and her heart sank just as deeply. It felt as if her
heart was forcefully removed from her, and it ripped her from within.
She quickly pressed the button for another lift, but the numbers were far apart.
Thinking of how she might never see Anthony again once he left, her heart clenched as she started
running for the stairs...before suddenly losing her bnce in her listlessness.
Just as she was about to crash onto the floor, a strong arm caught her by her waist...
William hugged her and frowned at the sight of the wound on her arm. He felt hurt and worried.
"Don’t run anymore, Ms. Jordan. Your wound is more important." "Let go of me...!" She then coughed.
Charmine tried to free herself from his grasp, but as she had overexerted her energy, her breathing
labored and she ran out of breath.
William quickly helped her back to the ward and got the oxygen mask ready.
Anthony went inside the lift. The moment the lift door shut, he leaned on the wall listlessly as if he had
used up all of his energy.
It felt as though a sharp de pierced through his heart and wounded it severely. He had to say such
harsh words to her, and it pained him a thousand times more than it did to her. i

However, he truly had no other choice than this.
He believed that Charmine would not linger on a hopeless romance for too long.
She was an independent woman, and love was never her whole world.
Anthony returned to Violet Residence and instructed Luke, "Pack up all my belongings. Don''t leave
anything behind."
He should not stay in this vi anymore since he had broken up with her.
Although he was baffled, Luke obeyed hismand and had his men do as they were told.
Chris, meanwhile, was sitting on the sofa as he suspiciously looked at Anthony. "Daddy, why are we
moving away?”
What happened? Why did he feel that his father was significantly depressed ever since he returned this
morning?
Moreover, Charmine had yet to return for a day!
Anthony looked at him and said, "Would you want to see your Mommy getting hurt?"
Chris shook his head without hesitation. "No."
It was then something clicked at the back of his mind as Chris hastily questioned, "Daddy, did
something happen to her?”
Why was she absent from the vi for so long?
Anthony pursed his lips and said, "She had a serious car ident."
Chris'' face straightened, and his tiny face scrunched in worry. "I want to see her!"
Anthony pulled back his arm and snapped, "No!" "Why not?" Chris stared at him with his doe, watery
eyes.
Why was Anthony so heartless?
Anthony looked at him and exined, "I’ve broken up with your Mommy. I''m facing a few troubles of my
own now, and it almost got her killed. I might seriously put her in danger at this rate. Didn''t you say that
you don''t want to see her getting hurt?”
Chris still did not understand. Why would his Daddy hurt his Mommy if he stayed with her?
