Chapter 1180 It was then Charmine realized how strange he acted. "Whatâs wrong?" she asked.
Anthony's gaze darkened.
He wanted to get angry but thinking of what he learned about Charmine's past, he did not want to get angry at her.
"It's nothing," he dismissed her. "I've got things to attend to, so I'll go and see them done.â
He handed the item to her and turned to leave.
Charmine looked down to see a bottle, and she instantly understood.
He went all the way to get her some medications in the afternoon?
Why the strange behavior, then?
She looked at him leaving, and she frowned.
Who offended her?
Charmine took out her phone and tried to phone him, but he hung up after the first ring!
Charmine was speechless. This was the first time he hung up on her.
She called again.
In the underground carpark of the hospital, Anthony looked at his lit-up phone with an incoming call. After a moment of hesitation, he finally accepted the call.
'What is it?" His tone was neither cold nor hot.
Charmine asked, "Is everything okay?"
She was going to share with him the good news from M35 Lab.
"It's nothing." Anthony thought of how much she cared, and he was not happy about it.
However, he said, "I'm fine, you just take care of Guy."
Even though his voice was pleasant to hear, he sounded rather sour.
Charmine frowned and suddenly realized...
This man was jealous again! Again! 3 Charmine comforted him, "Stop overthinking things, Anthony!" "I'm not overthinking!"
His tone seemed to disagree with his response.
Charmine lowered her head and smiled. She recalled Dior's voice saying," Why did you leave me?"
Charmine hesitated for a moment and then said in a very gentle voice, "I haven't seen you for a day, and L.miss you." i She wanted to see him and would love him to come back; that was what she meant.
Anthony sat inside the car, holding the phone with one hand and the other typing on the keyboard nonchalantly.
The rhythm of the typing was like his convoluted mood.
His expression seemed displeased, but when he heard how the usually cold and harsh voice of Charmine's had turned so soft, his fingers stopped along with his heartbeat.
His face was like a melting iceberg as it grew warmer.
She had never spoken to him in such a gentle tone...
Anthony turned around and looked up at the first floor. How he wished he could rush in and embrace her, kissing her passionately as a punishment.
Still...
He did not want to see how worried she looked because of Guy. He did not want to have conflicts with her regarding this.
Anthony looked away and cleared his throat. He insisted, "Be good. I have other things to attend to. You take good care of him."
With that, he ignited the engine and was about to leave...
Charmine heard the engine revving and wanted to tell him not to go when a loud buzz resonated in her head, followed by a sharp pain.
Again!
She felt as if her head was about to explode. She grimaced in pain.
Charmine stood in the hallway as she bit her lips. Her green veins popped out as she clenched on the wall tightly, trying to hold it in.
Anthony noticed how quiet she became, and his heart sank.
Did she really not care about him?
Just as he was about to hang up, a painful groan was heard from the other side of the phone.
"Argh...!"
Anthony's face straightened.
'What's wrong, Charmine? Is your head hurting again?"
Charmine was in so much pain that she had cold sweat on her face as the veins on her neck protruded.
Her face grimaced intensely as she held on to the pain. She said with difficulty, "I'm fine...you...you go do your things..."
Anthony had already rushed out of his car even then as he ran inside the hospital with his long legs.
