Chapter 765
Charmine pulled over at Royal Hospital and parked her motorbike. She then keyed in the passcode Anthony told her and walked into the VIP lift.
Annabel was fast asleep on the ward of the top floor, her skin pale as sunlight shone on her.
Not wanting to disturb Annabel, Charmine walked to the resting lounge only to find Anthony and Waverly nowhere in sight.
Of course, she eventually found someone at the medical laboratory-Nial.
He was sorting out a pile of documents when he saw Charmine coming, and the sight of her shocked him.
"Charmine, you're finally out?"
'Yeah."
Coming closer to him, she asked suspiciously, "Where's Anthony?"
"He..." Nial hesitated and tentatively looked at Charmine. "Did you see all of the news online?"
Charmine nodded. "What actually happened? You may tell me everything, or I can find out myself."
Nial fell silent for a good while before he eventually mustered, "Some of the news online aren't true...but the article about them getting engaged in ten days is true."
Charmine jolted. It was true?
"Annabel wasn't doing so well in the past few days, haunted by her nightmares and was nauseous. Brother and Ms. Waverly had to stay overnight in the hospital to take care of her, afraid that she might have a miscarriage, but reporters got photos of them both staying overnight here. Someone even found out about the pregnancy and the pregnant meals. If they found out that it was Annabel, Mother won't let her go. At the height of it all, Ms. Waverly had to tell Mother that it was her preparing to get
pregnant and nourishing her body. What happened next went completely out of hand..."
Nial's expression turned grim. "After Mother found out, she ran to buy lots of supplements, and it wasn't long until many of the reporters found out and this went to the ears of the D'Cruz family. Master D'Cruz, Waverly's father, really takes this daughter seriously. He rushed over the night and discussed this matter with Mother. The seniors of our family settled this."
Charmine listened on with a frown. Not only was Annabel's situation not getting better, but it even got to this?
She asked, "What about Anthony? What does he think?"
He would definitely not accept his family for arranging this.
"Him, well..." Nial let out a sigh. "Of course he fell out with the family. He told Mother to fix what she did, no excuses. Mother had handed the family items to the D'Cruz already and thought she had no need to take back her words, considering they were in a relationship. They could slowly develop their feelings after engagement. If Anthony resisted too much, Mother
might get suspicious and eventually find out about Annabel. Due to all this mess, he was entirely hands-on-deck to sort it all out. He made it clear that he's going overseas with Ms. Waverly, while he plans to secretly arrange for Annabel and Momo to be sent to another country."
Charmine frowned. To send them to another country?
Right, Annabel and Chris had always been their biggest concerns.
Charmine would have officiated her relationship with Anthony had Chris not been ill. The situation was already dire, so if Susan found out about Annabel's role in all these, she would have done something to her or even to Chris! 1
Arranging for them to leave was indeed the best solution.
However...
Would Annabel's illness be fixed after leaving the country? Would she be able to hide from Susan's potential schemes? 1
Hiding was never the best solution.
"Give me all of Annabel and Momo's medical records," Charmine said to Nial. "I'll look into them."
