Chapter 1279 As she took out some cotton, Charmine blotted out the blood from his hand before she took the disinfecting solution and disinfected his wound. She then bandaged it to wrap things up.
"Thank you," professed Guy.
Once everything was done, he noticed what little remained of the flame, thus he quickly chopped up the logs half-naked, not bothering to put his clothes back on. 1 Noticing his drenched shirt by the side, Charmine did not think twice as she took it and started drying it with the fire.
Guy, on the other hand, cut a few more sticks and rushed over to make fire when he noticed the clothes in Charmineâs hands.
"Ms. Jordan..."
As he was about to tell her he would do it himself, they heard footsteps coming from outside the cave. Both of them instinctively turned around to see Anthony with an umbrella, expression doused with cold fury.
He glared at her darkly before his fierce gaze turned to Guy.
Guy was half-naked, and his shirt was in Charmineâs hands!
He held onto the umbrella tightly with a gaze darker than black.
Faye, following right behind him, eyed Charmine triumphantly.
Even God was helping her! She finally caught them in action!
There was no way she could get away this time!
"Anthony..."
Charmine met his eyes and reacted. She handed the shirt back to Guy and explained, "Youâve misunderstood!" "I saw it with my own eyes!" Anthony looked at her coldly. "So this is how you interact with Guy behind my back?"
Guy quickly explained, "Mr. Granger, don't take this the wrong way. This isn't what you think it is. We're merely-" "Enough!"
Anthony glared at the two of them coldly.
"I only believe what I see!" Anthony glanced at the umbrella in his hand and scoffed, "Congratulations, Charmine. You turned me into a joke!" i With that said, he tossed the umbrella aside and walked back into the rain.
"Anthony..."
Charmine rushed out trying to explain, but Faye blocked her from advancing as she snidely commented, "Don't bother chasing after him. Anthony saw it with his own eyes, so what's there left to explain? You're so shameless! Anthony treats you so well, while you flirt with other men behind his back! Youâre awfully shameless!" "Faye!" Guy snapped as he could no longer hold back.
"Mind your tongue!" "Am I wrong? Charmine is shameless!" Faye scoffed coldly and looked down on the two of them. She picked up the umbrella from the ground and chased after Anthony. "Brother Anthony, wait for me..."
Guy clenched his fists tightly. He guiltily turned to Charmine as he muttered, "I'm sorry, Ms. Jordan. It all started with me."
Charmine's face was unusually calm, even after Anthony and Faye had left.
She turned back to face Guy. "Mr. Granger, it's not your fault."
Guy was confused. "Ms. Jordan..."
Why was she not anxious at all, even though Anthony was livid?
Charmine looked out at the rain that oh-so-slowly subsided and said, "Mr.
Granger, it's less heavy now. Let's head back down." "Okay."
Things would not seem right if she lingered around.
After leaving the cave, Anthony walked up the mountain while Faye held onto the umbrella. She tiptoed as she tried to shield him from the rain.
"Brother Anthony, the rain is heavy. Don't catch a cold."
Anthony's face darkened. "Leave! Youâre not in the place to be concerned!"
His attitude did not deter Faye, however. How could she leave him when Charmine had hurt him? 1 This was her best shot!
