Chapter 83 Charmine scrunched her eyes up tightly before she fell to the floor.
Instead, she landed in someoneâs warm embrace.
âOuch...â
It was Anthony.
She opened her eyes gradually and found Anthony lying on the floor right underneath them.
She could see blood blossoming from his shoulder.
âAre you alright?â she asked while picking herself up with Chris in her arms. There was a tinge of concern in her voice that she did not realize was present.
âYouâre worried about me, arenât you?â He smirked at her.
âStop cracking jokes during a time like this, Anthony!â Charmine rolled her eyes.
âI just got cut by the glass. Itâs nothing serious so donât worry about it,â he said, trying to comfort her as he got back up on his feet.
Charmine glimpsed at his back and saw a minor cut. Fortunately, the rest of him seemed unharmed.
This Ferris wheel was far too dangerous! She had to get someoneâs help.
All of a sudden, the Ferris wheel was back to normal as she was trying to reach out for help on her cellphone.
`What a coincident!â
âItâs okay. Donât be scared,â said Anthony. H e thought she was scared out of her wits since she seemed a bit zoned out.
His voice was warm, gentle, and comforting.
He was now feeling a bit smug since Charmine was worried about him.
Chris took a peek and gave a small smile Yay! Charmine likes Anthony by ten percent now!â
The ride had finally come to an end.
âThatâs all for today. Go back and clean your wound,â said Charmine as she carried Chris out from the carriage.
âItâs not a big deal. Itâs just a minor scrape that can be dealt with a bandage,â murmured Anthony.
It would be foolish for him to let such a date t o slip by! This was a now-or-never chance.
Grimacing, Charmine said, âAnthony, are you serious...â
âFor Momoâs sake then. You know he likes t o be with you and so do I.â Charmineâs heart felt like it was filled to the brim by his words.
âMomo needs mommy! Momo doesnât wanna leave mommy!â Chrisâs eyes began t o well up as he started to grumble.
âIf Momo was to separate from mommy, mommy might be leaving Momo forever...â Chris looked as if he was about to burst into tears.
Her heart clenched at the sight. It was too hard to part from this five-year-old kid.
âDonât worry, sweetie. Auntie likes you very much and will definitely play with you when thereâs a chance, alright?â she tried her best to blurt out some words of comfort.
âReally? Letâs make it a pinky promise then, mommy!â Chris was now smiling through his tears while locking his pinkies with Charmine.
What did she just say?
She thought this would be the last time. However, it seemed like there would always b e a next time as she had to honor her promise with Chris.
Things were not playing out how she had wanted them to at all.
