Chapter 1746
Charmine did not return, even as noon came.
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 placed 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 a comfortable environment.
Within ten minutes, however, he caught a whiff of something burning.
Frowning, Anthony walked out to the yard and spotted smoke coming from the kitchen.
He quickly walked over to see the pot over the flame, 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!"
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 regular 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, comforted.
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?"
