Chapter 1735
"We’re off to Roskow, Chloe," replied Charmine gently. "Take good care of Grandma at home. We'll come and visit you when we have time."
Chloe pursed her lips and fixed her eyes on Charmine. She asked, "You’re leaving all of a sudden, Auntie Charmine. Are you hiding from Uncle Anthony? Have you decided to hide away for a few years to feel better? You don't have to go so far; you can keep a low profile in Mount Village!"
Charmine stiffened. It was as if she was exposed, her pupils dilated and quivered.
Lips pressed into a thin line, she then parted them and said, "You're still a young girl, Chloe, you don't understand. I’m not doing this for anyone. I have my own plan."
With that said, she ruffled her hair. "Go back to sleep."
Charmine opened the car door. Just as she was about to go inside-
Knowing she had yet to convince Charmine, Chloe blurted, "Uncle Anthony isn’t getting married; he went to get treated on an island. This surgery only has a twenty-percent chance of success, and he's likely to die during the surgery. Even if the operation turns out to be a success, he might be paralyzed." 1
When William heard about this, his eyes were filled with disbelief.
How did this young girl know about that?
Charmine gazed at Chloe, utterly baffled. "Chloe, what are you talking about? Anthony is fine, why would he undergo surgery?"
Chloe said, "Uncle Anthony had allowed Dr. Jennie to experiment on his brain, inflicting amnesia and frequent migraines in the aftermath, causing him to forget things frequently, especially important matters. Furthermore, his muscles would shrink in time. Uncle Anthony was worried about not being able to provide you with a happy life, which was why he treated you the way he did." "What!?" Charmine’s eyes widened as she stared at Chloe incredulously.
Anthony had amnesia?
Impossible! How could that be?
If Anthony treated her due to an illness, why would he go ahead and marry Waverly, even going so far as sleeping with her?!
He merely fell out of love, and it was not due to the illness.
William, unable to pretend like he knew nothing, confessed, "Ms. Jordan, the girl is telling the truth. Mr. Bailey was diagnosed with amnesia. That’s why he chose to leave you to not hurt you."
Charmine's head buzzed.
