Chapter 1270 "Brother Anthony, didn't you see-" "So what?" Anthony cut her off. "Frank is in pain, but not only did you not care for him, but you don't want others to attend to him. Furthermore, I was only acting with you to make sure my wife gets how I feel when I get jealous-1 only have her in my thoughts. Now that she gets it, you'll do well to stay away from me from now on!" "W...What?"
Fayeâs face went pale. "Brother Anthony, you..."
She was so shocked that she could not speak.
He merely treated her kindly to make Charmine understand what jealousy felt like?
Her eyes reddened instantly. "Brother Anthony, how can you treat me like this? You used me?!"
She cared for him wholeheartedly, yet he hurt her!
"I'm sorry, but you've misunderstood from the start," said Anthony in a low voice. "After all, Iâve always been cold to you, and I never told you I have any feelings for you." 1 Faye had tears in her eyes; she looked as if she was hurt. Seeing him make breakfast for Charmine, she bit her lower lip and ran out crying to a tree...
Why?
Anthony treated her differently! He cared for her!
Charmine must have said something to him that made him say such things!
Anthony liked her, and he only said that because of Charmine!
"Charmine Jordan!" Faye mouthed her name enviously.
Faye wiped off the tears, and her pitiable eyes turned dangerously cold... 2 Once she pricked numerous needles on Frank, she asked, "Frank, do you feel better?" "Much better," answered Frank kindly, "it's no longer hurting."
Charmine smiled faintly. "Good. I'll do this again at night so that it doesn't hurt at night." "Okay. Thank you, Charmine." "Don't mention it."
Charmine packed up the needles. She halted for a second and said, "Frank, could you..." "Charmine." Frank knew what she was going to say, thus he gently interjected her. "I know what Iâm doing. Donât try to talk me out of it."
Charmine sighed to herself.
She did not know if there was a treatment for him yet. She did not want to give him false hopes.
It would only make him more depressed if he was willing to try the treatment but she had none for him.
Charmine did not coax him anymore as she stood up and said, "I'll be heading back, then." "Okay."
Charmine walked to the door while Anthony walked toward her.
He looked at Frank inside the room and said, "No need to tutor Charmine today; let her practice on her own. Get some rest."
Frank waved it off, however. "Itâs fine."
Anthony frowned as he looked at Charmine.
Understanding his gaze, Charmine turned and went back inside to help him sit on the bed. "Frank, I don't feel like learning today."
Frank was taken aback. "Why not? Don't stop because of me. I'm fine.â "It has nothing to do with you," replied Charmine. "I want to go out for a walk with Anthony. Too many things have happened in the past two days, and I'm not in the mood." 2 Frank understood.
Charmine had been wronged because of Faye in the past two days, and the two of them had many conflicts to resolve. 1 They should go out for a walk. 1 He nodded. "Alright, go ahead." "Okay," sighed Charmine in relief.
