Chapter 1776
Anthony nodded. "Alright, then."
Anthony ended the call, a frown plastered on his face as he looked around. His gaze then met Charmine's as she stood in the rose garden.
Anthony hesitated for a moment before he walked toward her, his gaze ever so soft as he reached her side. "Annabel seems to have been diagnosed with depression, my dearest. I'll go and visit her."
Worried that Charmine might have misunderstood him, he added, "I’m worried that something might happen to her, things that may spark unnecessary comments from the public."
Charmine said, "I understand."
She frowned and hesitated for a moment. 'Til call her and ask." "Good idea." Anthony agreed.
Charmine instantly phoned Annabel.
It took a while before the call was answered, and Annabel's weak voice came from the other end, saying, "Hello, Ms. Jordan."
Charmine asked, "Has anything been bothering you, Ms. Annabel?"
Charmine frowned. "I heard from the nurse that you're not eating and have been talking to yourself. Do you have mild depression? Would you like me to find a doctor to check on you?" "No, no need," Annabel quickly turned Charmine down. 'The nurse made that up. I just don't have an appetite sometimes, so I didn't eat." "Oh... Well, you still have to eat something for your child,” Charmine reminded.
"Alright, Ms. Jordan," Annabel mumbled.
"Call me if you need anything," added Charmine, tone considerate and gentle. "If anything is bothering you, you may talk to me. Don't overthink yourself." "I know, Ms. Jordan."
Charmine asked, "Is there anything else?" "No..." said Annabel weakly.
Charmine pursed her lips. "I should let Anthony come and visit you, but he's busy preparing things for the wedding, and he doesn't have time. I’ll arrange for a doctor to take care of you. Just tell the doctor if you need anything."
Annabel bit her lip and said nothing else apart from a soft, obedient, "Okay.
Thank you, Ms. Jordan." "You're welcome."
