Chapter 1929
After having Charmine settle in the ward, the nurse placed an oxygen mask on her and set up the electrocardiograms, blood pressure monitors, and medical drips.
Charmine laid in bed, unmoving. Her breaths were shallow, and it was a painful sight to watch.
Anthony sat by the bedside, and his big hands held onto her cold hands. He looked at her worriedly.
Grandma Bailey gazed at Charmine, just as worried and with reddened eyes.
She dabbed away the tears pooling in her eyes as she feebly lamented, "It's not easy for Charmine to finally live with us. Now that this happened, how could her life get so difficult? If she doesn't wake up...how shall I pass this on to the Jordans?"
It only agonized her the more she thought of Charmine's fate, and her tears finally fell.
"Ms. Charmine will be fine," said Annabel, standing at the side, sounding determined as she spoke. "She'll wake up. She will!"
Hearing everyone talking, Anthony frowned and looked at them. "Everyone can go home for now. I'll stay and look after Charmine."
Senior Bailey said, "We have a house full of guests back there. We should get back to let them know."
Grandma Bailey was still so distraught with what had happened and did not want to leave, yet it was not ideal to stay in the ward, regardless. Without much of a choice, she relented, saying, "Let us know when she wakes up."
Anthony nodded vaguely.
His eyes did not leave Charmine.
Annabel looked at Charmine sympathetically. She was so worried that she was unable to leave. She said weakly, "Madam, I'd like to stay here and look after Ms. Charmine. I'm a woman myself, and it'll be more convenient to have me stay." i
Annabel had always been weak, but this time, she sounded very positive of herself.
She had to see Charmine wake up.
Seeing how determined she was, Grandma Bailey nodded. "Okay, but do take care of yourself too." "Okay, I will," said Annabel.
