Chapter 1476
Anthony wanted oh-so badly to let Charmine know he still loved her, ardently. 1
However, thinking of his illness...
Anthony never wanted Charmine to suffer his ailment's aftermath for the rest of her life. 1
The agonized Anthony held Charmine's hands tightly, his eyes reddening as he did, but the force stirred a reaction from the slumbering Charmine— she frowned and moaned in pain.
Thinking she was awakened, Anthony instantly let go of her and removed the love and hurt in his eyes.
When he waited and looked at her, however, he noticed that her eyes were still closed shut. She had not woken up; she merely looked in pain.
Anthony instantly pressed the bell, and William rushed in hurriedly not long after, asking, "Mr. Bailey, what's wrong?" "She's in pain," stated Anthony.
William frowned. He came forward to check on Charmine and noticed there were no signs of her waking up. There were no changes in her either.
"She's probably having a dream, then,’’ theorized William.
"Okay." Anthony felt relieved with his response and sat right back at Charmine’s bedside.
"I'll leave you here," said William, "call me if you need anything."
Anthony nodded.
After William had left, Anthony reached out to grab Charmine's hands again. He looked at her without blinking, treasuring this alone-time with her.
He was worried that he would forget about her IV, thus he would keep an eye on the intravenous from time to time, and then at his electronic watch.
This time, he did not forget to replace the IV for Charmine on time, i
Charmine, meanwhile, was half-awake. She felt lightheaded as if her world was dark. She could not tell reality from dreams.
She seemed to have heard Anthony's voice, too...
She could even feel the familiarity of his palms that held onto her hands tightly.
Still...why would Anthony show up beside her? Why so gently?
She had to be dreaming.
Only in the past or in her dreams would Anthony treat her like this.
