Chapter 1034 Charmine tried to push Anthony away. Her migraine was not going away anytime soon, and she might bite him again.
They should not be kissing...
However, the more she struggled, the tighter Anthony held her.
His kiss was fervent yet gentle. He was trying to ease her pain, as if trying to make her feel better.
Held flush against him, Charmine could not break free from his hold.
Despite the sharp pain that plagued her head, Anthony's kiss triggered the dopamine release in her head which alleviated a bit of her pain. 1 With that, she endured the migraine this time and did not faint from the pain. 1 After the migraine, she felt listless in his arms as the metallic aftertaste lingered on her taste buds.
Looking up at Anthony, she noticed his lips were left with a bite-wound as blood oozed out of it.
It was more difficult to stanch the bleeding on the lips. She frowned. "Don't do that again."
"Compared to your pain, this is nothing.â Anthony carried her into his arms and placed her in bed.
He pulled up the blanket and instructed her, "Remember: When this happens again, don't try to hide from me." i Charmine frowned. She was worried that he would give up...
He might surrender to the whims of the Grangers if he watched her suffering.
Nonetheless, her eyes narrowed. "Okay.â
She had undergone three migraines already, so she was finally able to sleep.
She cuddled in Anthony's arms, her hands on his waist as solemnly reminded him, "Remember, the migraine only lasts for a short while. It's almost nothing. Remember our time spent after the migraine, and don't say or make any abrupt decision during the migraine."
In the darkness, Anthony's eyes darkened more.
She might say it only lasted a short while for her, but to him, it felt utterly excruciating to even witness her suffering for even a second.
He already had the hospital staff researching the poison. He wondered if there would be any finding at all.
Recalling the idea she had not too long ago, Charmine then spoke, "Right, blood replacement might be helpful. Let's give it a try at the hospital tomorrow."
Anthony knew about the theory behind the blood replacement. There was a faint glint of light in his eyes.
Charmine fell asleep quickly, all worn out and tired. She woke up too early and did not have a good sleep last night. She was exhausted.
Though she slept deeply, her brows furrowed still. She did not seem at ease.
The night was dark as the clock's needle pointed at two.
After making sure she had fallen asleep, Anthony carefully got out of the bed and walked out.
Nial, sleeping in a room, had his door opened as a tall figure walked in to pull him up.
When Nial saw him, he was confused. "Itâs late, Bro. What is it?â
"Arrange for a blood replacement right away. Replace all of the blood in Charmineâs body," came Anthony's cold command.
The initially drowsy Nial jolted from his sleepiness.
"Of course! Why didnât we think of this earlier? Replacing blood can clear up at least 99.99% of the poison in her body! Bro, do you know what her blood type is? We'll arrange for it tonight!"
Anthony took out a transparent packet and handed it to Nial.
There was a tiny needle and pipe inside the packet, along with a blood sample.
Anthony collected this from Charmineâs finger before coming out of their room.
Nial received it from him and went to the third floor.
They had transformed the third floor into a medical laboratory due to Annabelâs illness.
