chapter 1720


    Meanwhile...


    The development project continued to progress rapidly in Mount Vige, and it had gotten to a crucial


    stage;ying the foundation.


    Charmine went to the site early in the morning to personally monitor the work.


    Anthony thought of how tired she must have been, so he went to the bamboo house to prepare a pot of


    Charmine''s favorite vegetables. Even though she had promised to cook him meals for three days, he


    did not want her to be as tired.


    Anthony remembered that the first time he dined with Charmine was over pot-food.


    This was their beginning.


    For the time being, Charmine was no longer as harsh and no longer turned him away. Anthony hoped


    she could continue for the better. 1


    Moreover, with hisplications slowly receding, and though he still had aches from time to time, it


    was not as frequent.


    If his illness could be more stable...


    With images of his future with Charmine running through his mind, Anthony''s eyes softened sincerely


    and gently.


    All of a sudden, the images shattered as a loud buzz overwhelmed Anthony''s mind. His nerves jolted


    and he was in so much pain that his sight went ck. He loosened his grip on the knife in his hand,


    cing it on the table, but his abrupt ckout caused the knife to fall to the floor audibly. 1


    Chris and Chloe heard it, even from outside the door. Exchanging nces, they instantly made their


    way into the kitchen and saw Anthony, his handsome face pale and tense as cold sweat riddled his


    forehead.


    rmed, Chris went to Anthony and helped prop him up, his eyes widening in worry as he did. "Daddy,


    what happened?"


    Chloe, on the other hand, helped massage Anthony''s temples as she squinted.


    Was Anthony''splication having an outburst?


    How could that have happened?


    She had been feeding medicine to him, albeit secretly, and he was taking them on time. He should be


    getting better, so why did it seem to have worsened instead?


    Anthony shook his head, and his blurry vision cleared. "It''s nothing," he replied hoarsely, "just feeling


    dizzy."


    Chris had no idea about Anthony''s illness, merely thinking he just suffered from a cold, which was why


    he was not as worried. Both he and Chloe helped Anthony out of the house and sat him in the front


    yard.


    Anthony felt a wave of sharp pain in his head; it felt as though needles were jammed into his skull


    incessantly. His entire body grew taut from the tension.


    He looked at the two children with a worried look. "I''m fine. I''ll go in and get some rest."


    Standing up, Anthony then recalled something as he turned to look at Chris seriously. "Do not tell your


    Mommy about this."


    Chris, not wanting to worry Charmine, nodded at Anthony. "Okay."


    He quickly helped Anthony get up before turning to Chloe and said, "I''ll go and take care of my father


    now, Chloe. I’ll y with you another day." "Okay!"


    Chloe stood up and watched as both father and son headed inside the house, frowning with pursed


    lips.


    She went home and instantly went online to log into her ount. The moment she did, she noticed an


    email sent to her from Anthony.


    (Anthony: Cabbage, my illness was getting better a few days ago, but the pain has rpsed today, and


    it''s more severe than before. What could this be?]


    [Cabbage: What kind of pain is it? Do you have any other symptoms?] [Anthony: No.]


    Chloe frowned and instantly got to work, researching information online. A few minutester, she saw


    the words on her screen, and her eyes darkened.


    PHL contained HOR substance...and it was this substance that worsened Anthony''s illness?

    The medicine would not work if she could not use PHL. The four herbs must work together!


    Chloe quickly went into her room and took out all the other herbs.


    No matter how she mixed them, they did not have the effect of this medicine.


    In other words, although the medicine could relieve the illness, the illness mighte back with more


    severe side effects.


    Chloe pursed her lips, and for a long while, she felt clueless and helpless.


    Momentster, she returned to herputer and replied to Anthony’s email.


    [Cabbage: I''m sorry, the medicine has side effects which cause this. Stop ingesting the medicine for


    now.]
