Chapter 697
Charmine turned and left the top floor when Anthony was not looking at her, silently driving out of Royal Hospital.
She then texted Eric, [Prepare for me a house Anthony can't find.] 1
Half an hour later, her car was parked in Marilyn's Park that happened to be right next to the Bailey Corporation building.
Marilyn's Park was an upper-class residential area with only garden bungalows. The residents were all renowned people.
The park was next to the Bailey Corporation. The more dangerous place was always the safer place to be.
Once Charmine entered one of the houses, she texted Kay, [Remove all traces of me.] 1
Eric, present at the house Charmine was in, handed the key to her. "I bought this house ten years ago and never lived here. It's not under my name either, so you can live here hassle-free. Nobody can find you, but... Why do you need to hide?"
"Nothing, I just want to be alone. Go back." Charmine closed the door behind her.
Eric looked at her and frowned.
He sensed that something was off.
Nonetheless, he knew Charmine well enough to know she would not do anything stupid, so he did not press on further.
Settling in the house, Charmine noted the rows of red wines on the wine cabinet.
She kicked off her shoes and brought a few bottles of wine to lie down on the balcony sofa.
The sky had darkened by then, and other houses began to lit up.
Stars sparkled between buildings.
Charmine sat on the balcony and recalled the things Anthony once said to her: He would give her a family whenever she was ready.
She once fantasized that she, Anthony, and Momo would have a home that belonged to them, that they would have a family together. Who would have thought... 1
Thinking of what Nial and Waverly said, she chugged a mouthful of red wine. 1
She could bet it would not happen in half a year, and she strongly believed in that.
The thought of Chris dying on a sickbed... How Charmine wished she could give up her life for Chris.
All she wanted was for Chris' illness to be cured so he no longer had to live in pain.
Charmine thought everything would be alright once Annabel managed to conceive, but they were hit with the fact she might suffer a miscarriage or the embryo unable to develop...
Even hypnosis could become futile...
The only way to improve the situation would be for Anthony to accompany Annabel, for Anthony to be genial with her.
However, was there a pure friendship between a man and a woman? A friendship that shared a child?
If Anthony accompanied Annabel on a daily basis, what was the point of her getting married to Anthony?
If all Anthony cared about was her, how would he be able to take care of Annabel? How would Annabel give birth at ease?
