    Thinking of how tired Charmine could be, and not wanting her to trouble herself to cook upon her


    return, Anthony turned to the kitchen and started preparing lunch.


    He made a pork rib soup with the cooker.


    Following that, he turned to the farm and picked a handful of fresh radish sprouts.


    Chris was not home when he returned. Anthony did not hesitate, however. Seeing that it was still early,


    he ced the vegetables aside and recalled the chores that needed to be done on that day. He looked


    around and saw nothing to do.


    He went into the room and tidied it, wanting to provide Charmine afortable environment.


    Within ten minutes, however, he caught a whiff of something burning.


    Frowning, Anthony walked out to the yard and spotted smokeing from the kitchen.


    He quickly walked over to see the pot over the me, only then recalling that he had been brewing


    soup!


    Anthony frowned and quickly turned off the fire and gas.


    As a result...


    The moment he turned off the fire, the burnt pot made a loud sound.


    It exploded!


    The few hundred degree Celsius pot debris flew toward his arms.


    Like a big chunk of burning iron, it burnt his white shirt and left a burn mark on his arm.


    Anthony quickly tossed it away, but the huge red mark still remained on his arm.


    The entire patch of his skin was burnt. The patch blistered and turned red, and the pain seared


    throughout his body.


    Anthony''s face contorted tightly as he walked to the water tap to wash off the wound.


    "Daddy!"


    When Chris and Chloe heard the loud explosion from the vige chief’s house, they ran over.


    When they arrived at the kitchen, they saw the terrible burn on Anthony''s arm.


    Both children walked toward Anthony, and Chris asked, "Daddy, how did this happen?" "I forgot to turn


    off the gas," replied Anthony coldly.


    Hearing this, Chloe squinted and ran home. She took out the first aid box under her bed and ran back


    toward Charmine’s home.


    However, when she first ran out of the house, she saw Charmineing from not far away.


    She bit her lip and did not care. She ran over with the first aid box.


    When Charmine saw her running, she frowned. "What''s going on, Chloe?" "Auntie Charmine, Uncle


    Anthony is hurt," replied Chloe.


    "What!?" Charmine''s heart sank. She quickened her pace toward the bamboo house.


    The two of them walked in together, and Charmine instantly acknowledged the smell of gasoline and


    something burning.


    She frowned and went into the kitchen. Right away, she saw the fresh red mark on Anthony''s arms.


    With the blister popped, his bloody raw flesh was a shocking sight.


    Charmine quickly walked over and carefully held him by his arm.


    "Let''s get you patched up."


    Anthony nodded and went out to the pavilion with her.


    Chloe had prepared the first aid items. Her small hands were holding onto a patch of cold ointment,


    saying nothing as she stuck it onto his skin.


    Suddenly, the three of them fixed their eyes on her.


    "Oh..." Chloe met their questioning gazes and grinned. "Uncle Anthony, this painkiller is very effective."


    Thinking it was just any regr traditional painkiller, Charmine did not overthink it. She took out the


    needles and stuck them into Anthony’s skin to stop the pain.


    Anthony instantly felt that his burning arm was no longer in pain. In fact, it felt cool,forted.


    He looked up at Chloe who was rummaging through her first aid box." Chloe, tell me the truth," he


    spoke gently. "Are you Cabbage?"


    Charmine, who was pricking his skin with needles, halted. She looked at Anthony in confusion. "What


    are you talking about?"
