Chapter 710
"Something urgent came up, and I need to pay a visit. You wait for me at home."
Since Charmine overheard what Nial said, she got up from the bed and asked, "Shall I ask Dr. Weir to head over as well?"
"No need, the medical research is in the last stage now, and there's only one more step to go. Doctor D'Cruz and I will work overtime tonight, so we should be able to find a solution by then."
They would have been able to fix it before, but he attended the Hundred Birds banquet and he had been looking for Charmine, thus pushing back the progress.
Anthony put on his clothes and regained his usually calm and exquisite composure.
He walked over and sat beside Charmine, helping her fix her dress and zipped it up.
"Charmine, don't forget that we're legally married. You're mine, alive or dead, so don't you think of running away. If my heart is donated, Momo won't even have a father by then. Even if it's for Memo's sake, please stay."
Charmine was speechless.
He was using Chris to threaten her?
However, since the situation had unfolded to this stage, she could not run away even if he did not say so.
She reassured, "Don't worry, you go and finish it up. I know what to do.”
Forget the signed marriage certificate. For the sake of this ring, she could not let him donate his heart nor could he let Chris lose a father.
This round, Anthony won, and he did so beautifully. 1
Anthony heard what she said, and his lips curled up into a satisfied smirk. He raised his hand and ruffled her hair.
"Remember, tonight is our wedding night. What happened earlier, we'll resume tonight." With that said, he gently pecked Charmine’s forehead before he stood up to leave.
Charmine thought of what happened earlier, and her heart skipped half a beat.
What happened earlier would resume tonight?
Resume...
Strangely, Charmine felt rather giddy at the thought of it.
She looked around this festive bedroom, feeling as if she was a bride waiting for the wedding night.
It helped that she still had her red dress on-it made her look like a bride, physically.
Still, it felt rather strange, so much so that she could not accept her shift of status from being single to being married. Since she drank herself silly throughout the night, she wanted to wash up in the bathroom to refresh herself.
Inside the bathtub, she felt as if she had forgotten something but she could not recall what...
At Marilyn's Park, Alexander waited for her the entire night without seeing her.
It was almost noon and she was still nowhere to be seen.
He sat on the corridor floor, his back leaning on the ice cold wall. His graceful figure was filled with a hint of fatigue and loneliness.
While Charmine and Anthony were happily married, he was waiting on the ice-cold floor unknowingly. 1
As long as Charmine was not out yet, he would keep on waiting.
When he saw someone coming home and the owner of the house was not Charmine, he suddenly understood that he was played.
Had Charmine done this to make herself feel better?
