chapter 1653


    Despite the danger, Anthony shielded Charmine with one of his arms.


    Charmine''s heart sank as she watched Anthony getting hurt in front of her.


    Why did he shield her?


    She gazed at him calmly, though her anger spurred still. "Do I need your help? Stop being a busybody!"


    Charmine''s hostility did not faze Anthony, however, and neither did his wound. He gazed at her, all


    while he grew pale. "Are you hurt?"


    Charmine''s spite did not waver at all. "I’m fine. I don''t need your concern!"


    Despite her attitude, Anthony sighed in relief as he noticed that she was still energetic.


    Out of the blue, he could clearly feel a sharp pain gnawing at his arm. His head buzzed as if there was


    a time bomb, ready to explode.


    Pausing, it felt like his vein had been pulled. His head exploded as he lost his bnce, vision turning


    dark as he lost all bearings of himself.


    Thomp! He fell onto the grass.


    Charmine stood still, hands by her sides when Anthony first wobbled. Her hands twitched as she


    instinctively tried to help him, but her rationality stopped her from doing so.


    She merely watched as Anthony fainted.


    Vigers of Mount Vige gasped in shock as Anthony copsed with a thud, rushing toward him as he


    fainted.


    The men helped him up and ced him onto a chair.


    The vige chief was the first to react as she instructed, "Hurry, May, take Anthony to your clinic."


    The doctor examined his arm and found no major fracture, but it was at least aminuted fracture. "I


    can only treat the normal fevers and cold, vige chief,” she spoke, hopeless. "This is serious. We need


    a doctor from the city." "Alright, hurry and call for one, then," replied the vige chief anxiously.

    Chris rushed over from the other side, looking at Anthony before he turned to look at Charmine.


    "Mommy, are you hurt?" "Mommy is fine, dear.” Charmine ruffled his hair. "Don’t worry about me. Your


    Daddy is hurt, though."


    Chris let out a sigh of relief as he quickly went to check on Anthony.


    A group was surrounding him.


    Although Chloe was worried, she knew this was part of their n. She turned around to hold on to the


    vige chief''s arms and said, "Grandma, it''s about time. ording to our tradition, we must go to the


    top of the mountain for our prayer ceremony."


    The vige chief looked at Anthony who had fainted. Worried, she even debated on canceling the


    ceremony.


    One of the vigers noticed the vige chief deep in thought and insisted, " Vige chief, we have to


    proceed with the prayer. It''s only once a year."


    Furthermore, as they were developing the vige, they needed prayer to protect themselves.


    The vige chief then second-guessed it all. She knew that the vige was undergoing development


    and they relied on the oue. They had to have the prayer.


    She nodded. "Alright, let''s continue, then." "Understood." Themittee then went ahead and got


    prepared to continue the ceremony.


    The vige chief then made her way to Charmine and said, "Charmine, we''re going to the mountaintop


    to uphold our prayer. You could stay here to look after Anthony."


    This bbergasted Charmine.


    Yes, she did not want to tag along with their ceremony, but she did not want to babysit Anthony either!


    She looked at the group of women and said, "There are so many people around. I''m sure someone is


    willing to do this."


    One of the women shook her head. "No, we don’t. We want to pray!"


    Furthermore, who would be responsible for the medical expenses if they stayed with Anthony?


    Charmine nced at Anthony and said, "He''s not that badly injured. He doesn''t need anyone to look


    after him."


    Charmine''s words only served to fuel Chris'' worry.
