chapter 1435
Did Anthony stop loving her?
Why did he propose to her, then? Why would he go against his family for her and say so many sweet things to her?
When she could clearly feel the love in his eyes, why did he treat her like this?
If he still loved her, why would he do this to her?
He broke every promise he made, and he did not even follow after her to explain himself when she stormed out of the villa. She had an accident and almost lost her life, but he did not even show up!
Could a man truly change after getting the girl he wanted?
William walked out of the ward and called Anthony right away. "Ms. Jordan is awake now. Please come-she’s been looking for you since she woke up."
Anthony finally let out a sigh of relief, his tense face finally softening as he took his keys and rushed out...only a few steps.
He stopped after recalling something.
If he went over to see her right after she woke up, she would know he still cared about her.
Anthony went back to the sofa, his eyes dulled as he lit a cigarette. His eyes looked past the smoke that wafted in the room and eyed the clock on the wall.
The seconds felt like years, and he could only wait for time to pass...
William brought a doctor to examine Charmine's body. She was fine for the most part but still needed to remain for further observation.
After the doctor had left, William saw how listless Charmine was, thus he blurted, "I called Mr. Bailey earlier, and he said he'll be coming."
Charmine's cold heart jolted emotionally. He would come to see her at last ...?
Perhaps he did care about her, but since she was unconscious anyway, he went back to work as there was no point for him to stay?
Perhaps he did that so he could spend more time with her once she woke up.
Charmine's lonely heart had a new sense of anticipation.
If what she was assuming was true, she could understand.
With that, Charmine waited for him in the ward.
A half-hour wait turned into an hour of waiting, yet Anthony was nowhere to be seen.
Charmine's originally hope-filled eyes slowly turned dull and disappointed, and a mocking smirk appeared on her face. 1
What was she still waiting for?
One time after another; she should have known better.
William thought Anthony would have arrived by then, but when he came back in to refill the liquid for her, all he saw was Charmine.
He frowned. "Is Mr. Bailey not here yet?" "No," came Charmine's cool reply.
Wary of what happened, William went back out to phone Anthony. "Mr. Bailey, are you busy? Why are you not coming?" he asked.
Anthony was working inside the study when he received the call. "Where to?"
William’s initial silence was followed by a sigh.
It seemed that he had forgotten about this.
"Ms. Jordan woke up an hour ago. I told her you were coming, and she waited," he explained. "She's now disappointed because you're not here."
Anthony frowned, and he felt his heart ache.
He repeatedly disappointed her, yet she still waited on him?
It seemed that the only thing he could give her was more disappointment.
"I'll come now," he responded. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
"Okay, don’t forget this time,” William reminded him.
Anthony hung up and rushed to the hospital.
When he arrived outside Charmine's ward, he stopped. He stood coldly by the window of the ward and looked at the woman in bed.
Charmine was laying in bed, and her face was very pale. Not only were the scars still bright on her face, but her usually bright eyes had lost their sparkle-they became lifeless.
Anthony's eyes were filled with sympathy. He wanted to rush in and hug her tightly, wanting to reassure her that he was here.
At the thought of how everything was his fault, however...
He clenched his fists and inhaled deeply before walking into the ward nonchalantly.
