Chapter 1129 Blood Stained on Her Fingertips

Anthony's palm clenched into a fist, his arm veins bulging, giving a fierce glare. Raymond gulped and avoided Anthony's gaze, muttering sarcastically, "Stop showing off in front of me. Go and regret slowly!"

Kane rushed over from the end of the corridor and whispered into Anthony's ear, "Mr. Callahan, Mrs. Callahan left the hospital and took a taxi. It seems she's heading back to the Green Grove Apartment."

Back to the Green Grove Apartment?

Realization struck Anthony, his brow furrowing, his face growing colder. He turned and walked towards the hospital elevator, Kane following closely. "Kane, get the car ready. We need to hurry."

"Yes, sir!"

The master and servant disappeared quickly down the hallway.

Raymond stood in place, gazing at Anthony's almost running figure, a cold snort escaping him.

"Raymond."

A weak voice emanated from the hospital room.

With the door ajar, Raymond could clearly hear Moore calling him. He turned and entered the room. "What's wrong?"

"You were talking to Anthony, right? You said just now that Mavis would take care of me until I recover, that she would be with me. Is that true?"

"Um..."

Raymond scratched his head, laughing awkwardly, "Well... I just wanted to mess with Anthony."

Seeing Moore's visibly deflated mood, he quickly added, "Although she didn't say it explicitly, she's disappointed in Anthony now. And with you being so severely injured, she feels indebted to you. I think she might do that."

"I'm her brother, I've lived with her since childhood, and I understand her the most. Don't worry."

Moore's eyes were weak, lacking their usual spark. He was immobilized, wrapped up in bandages.

"I hope Mavis can come to her senses... cough, cough..." He tilted his head, a violent coughing fit seizing him.

Raymond hurriedly went over to help him catch his breath. "Do you want some water? Let me pour it for you."

Night fell.

The sky over Suham turned dark, the wind grew chilly, and Mavis's heart turned cold.

The taxi took her directly to the Green Grove Apartment building. Mavis got out of the car, entered the hallway, her eyes showing determination.

Anthony arrived back at the Green Grove Apartment one minute later. He heard footsteps ascending the stairs as he entered the hallway. From the sound alone, he knew it was Mavis. He quickened his pace, rushing upstairs.

Upstairs, Mavis took out her keys and opened the apartment door.

A pair of hands swiftly slipped through the opening and prevented her from closing the door.

Without even turning around, she knew who it was. "Why did you come running here?"

Anthony had a bad feeling and asked, "Then why did you come back? What do you want to take?"

Mavis didn't hide anything from him since he already caught her. "I think the two-week pursuit period is unnecessary, so I want to end it early."

Anthony laughed when he heard this, his eyes turning red with amusement. "What's this all about? Are you trying to get revenge for Moore because I refused to apologize? Is that why you're punishing me?"

"No, even if Moore wasn't kidnapped, we would have eventually reached this point anyway. This is just happening earlier than expected."

"When we were in the courthouse hall, you promised me a two-week pursuit period and now you can't go back on your word."

"Why can't I go back on my words? Have you kept all of your promises with me? You stood me up for our date and left me waiting all night while running off abroad with Jaqueline. And even though you promised not to hurt anyone around me again after what happened with Jaqueline in the past, here we are again with Moore being targeted by you!"

Anthony's face turned pale as she spoke those words. "I admit that standing up our date was wrong of me but it wasn't like I was confessing my love or anything like that to Jaqueline. It was just a coincidence. And yes, I've hurt Moore before but not this time."

Mavis remained expressionless as she responded coldly, "Jaqueline's incident happened so long ago without any evidence left behind. Naturally whatever excuses or lies will work for someone like you who want to avoid taking responsibility for your actions. As for what happened with Moore, both of us know exactly what really went down regardless of whether or not you try denying it."

Anthony felt choked up inside.
