Chapter 1033 Anthony stood up and walked to the bathroom, commenting nothing else on the matter.
Charmine seemed relaxed, as if she did not care about the poison in her.
Anthony could not do that, however. Even if he did not give her up to Guy, he had to think of other ways to help her!
As Anthony left her side, Charmineâs gaze darkened as well. She could care less about the poison in her-it was just some migraine after all. Once it passed, she would feel alright.
Alas, it seemed as though seeds of doubt had implanted themselves within Anthony, and it would only worsen if he was to see her suffering continuously.
Charmine had to come up with something else for that, then.
She went back to the room and took out the medicine books the doctor had given her. 2 The Ultimate Seventy-Two Needles could cure any disease in the world. It should be able to detoxify her poison, no?
She might have some leads on what to do next upon determining the source of the poison.
The sky grew darker then.
When Anthony returned to the room, he was already in his green sleeping robe.
Band-aids were all over his figure, but with that, he was no longer covered in wounds. In fact, it gave him an attractive flair.
Noticing his presence, Charmine then suggested, "I'll go sleep with Momo tonight. He's been through so much, and I'm worried he might have a seizure tonight."
"No need. He's eaten the capsule made with the red wolf bone, and it'll keep his illness under control." Anthony walked in and locked the bedroom door. 1 "Go sleep somewhere else, then," Charmine continued. "Iâll spend a long time reading the medicine books, and it might affect your sleep..."
"Stop trying to push me away, Charmine," commented Anthony as he sat down by her side and gazed into her eyes. "I'll stay with you."
That took the words right out of Charmine.
She had indeed intended to push Anthony away at the thought she might have another migraine.
She did not want him to see her suffering.
Who would have thought...
Since he insisted, she could only let him stay.
The books documented innumerable pieces of information, from treatments of many diseases to their recoveries. However, there was not much said about poisons.
After all, a poison would mix up with all the blood in the body. Unless she replaced the blood in her, then...
With that in mind, Charmine's eyes sparkled.
Replaced the blood in her?
There was already such technology in the world. Earlier this year, a woman stung by a poisonous bee caused her to have kidney failure.
The doctors quickly went to work and replaced the blood in her over a few days, which ultimately saved her life.
If Charmine went for a blood replacement, would that bring out the poison entirely off of her?
Just as she entertained the thought, Charmine was struck with a sharp pain in her head.
"I'm going to the bathroom..." She quickly stood up and was about to walk away.
Anthony sensed that something was off. He stood up and hugged her tightly in his chest.
"Charmine, donât hide from me. I'll stay with you."
Charmine heard his low and hoarse voice by her ears, and a strange feeling welled in her. Before she could feel touched or emotional, the pain grew intense and more severe.
It was as if her brain was about to explode. She was in so much pain that her face turned pale as her expression contorted in agony.
"Charmine..."
Anthony called out her name. Suddenly, he put his hands on the back of her head and lowered his head to kiss her lips.
Met with the sudden kiss, her migraine somewhat decreased, though not by a mile. 1 She was still in so much pain, so much so that she had to grit her teeth.
"Mmph..." a groan was heard.
She bit Anthony's lips!
The taste of blood lingered in her mouth.
