Chapter 1379 Anthony would not agree to Charmine donating her kidney, hence she must not alert him of it.
Still, he had been staying in the office. How could she make him leave?
Just as she tried to think of something, the door opened abruptly, and in came Anthony as he elegantly walked.
His lips twisted into a frown when he saw her sitting upright. "Why're you not resting?"
Charmine instantly walked up to lay in bed and explained, "I got up to use the bathroom."
Anthony's displeasure faded at how Charmine listened to his advice. He walked over to the bed and sat down.
Charmine asked, "Any progress?" "Same old." Anthony' brows furrowed.
Gazing at his fatigue-ridden face, she asked, "Darling, are you tired?"
Anthony's body jolted as he looked at her. "What did you just call me?" "Darling?" Charmine replied naturally.
Anthony's eyes darkened as he lifted her face by her chin, lowered his head, and seized her red lips.
Charmine jolted and resisted. They were at the hospital, and if anyone saw them...
She then thought of her plan on donating her kidney and dropped her defenses, allowing him to kiss her.
After a while, Anthony let go of her. Eyes fogged with desire, he hoarsely muttered, "You sly imp."
He had to take good care of her once everything settled.
Charmine's face turned hot and remained still.
She changed the topic, however, saying, "Are you tired? I'll massage your shoulder."
She then reached out with her delicate hands and leaned against him, massaging his shoulders.
Anthony looked at her strangely. "Why are you acting weird?" 1 She called him 'darling' and offered to massage him?
Charmine's hands never stopped pressing onto his shoulders. âWhy can't I treat you nicer? You've worked so hard for Frank in the past few days. I feel bad for my darling, okay?"
Anthony had a half smile as he looked at her. "Seems like my slinky imp has a soft side to her."
Charmine smiled. "I've always been kind, okay?"
Anthony did not deny that.
He did not want her to massage him for too long, so he removed her hands from him. "Alright, I'm not tired. Get some rest, and don't overthink things. Even if we don't find a suitable kidney, don't feel guilty. Faye asked for this."
Charmine nodded. "Okay."
Anthony stood up, but as he was about to leave, his big hand felt a soft touch.
He lowered his head to see Charmine holding onto his big palm.
Touched by her gesture, he gazed at her. "What is it?"
Charmine said nothing as she pulled him, causing Anthony to fall to the bed. She leaned in, raised her head, and kissed his cold lips.
Anthony jolted.
She did not react when he kissed her, and all of a sudden, she took the initiative?
Charmine was more fervent in her kiss at the thought of the unforeseeable future.
Anthony was hook, line, and sinker with their kiss as he let go of his thoughts and fell deeper into the kiss, one that left Charmine blushing red.
Anthony was elegant as always, as if it was not him engaged in their kiss.
He reached out his hand to caress her lips, asking hoarsely, "Why take the initiative?"
It mystified him how she kissed him on her own will.
Worried that he might see through her thoughts, she smiled. "Do I need a reason to kiss my husband?â
She wanted to spend more time with him.
To kiss him, hold his hand, call him 'darling'-she wanted to please him. In case her operation did not go well, should anything happen...
