chapter 1438
Anthony knew that a child like Chris would not understand what was happening, thus he summed it all up, saying, "I nearly cost her her life. If she stays with me, she'll only get hurt. Leaving me will give her a better future."
Chris was visibly distressed at what he was hearing, but to keep Charmine from getting hurt, he had to nod and agree, "Okay... I understand, Daddy. I'll leave with you."
Anthony looked at him and said, "Go up and pack your things."
Chris nodded and dejectedly headed upstairs.
He knew his father still loved his Mommy, and that she still loved him a lot. He must not see them breaking up. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Meanwhile, at the hospital...
Charmine slowly regained her composure, lying in bed as doubt and despair loomed over her.
She could not believe that the man she thought she would spend the rest of her life with would suddenly break up with her. The mere thought of what he had said to her, angered her again.
What gave him the right to say such things?
He thought he could be with her whenever he wanted to, and leave her whenever? Was she a toy to him?
Charmine was never one to be weak.
Charmine instantly pressed the bell to call for someone, but it was William who came in.
He looked at her and asked gently, "Ms. Jordan, do you feel any discomfort?" "No," said Charmine. "Help me remove these devices on me. I want to be discharged."
William frowned. "Ms. Jordan, you haven't recovered. You can't be discharged."
Charmine scoffed. "Isn't it the patient’s free will to stay in the hospital?"
William knew how stubborn she could be, and if he did not clean her wounds, she would leave in this state.
Without much of a choice, he removed the devices attached to her and cleaned her wounds, reminding, "If you feel any discomfort, call me right away."
Charmine nodded and turned to leave.
When she returned to Violet Residence, she found out that the villa was empty. It was as if half of the villa had been cleared out.
Anthony's and Chris' belongings were gone.
The entire villa was so cold and clean, just like how it was when she first moved back to Burlington.
It was as if everything was just a dream, that nothing had happened.
Charmine clenched her fists. Hurt and rage stormed within her.
What happened to Anthony? He wanted to break up that badly? Did he even ask for her permission?
The rage she held back within her suddenly combusted. She turned and left the villa, speeding toward the Bailey mansion, the speedometer needle pointing to the furthest right, i
She arrived at the Bailey mansion, where the gates were tightly shut. No one was even walking around the compound.
She came before the door and rang the bell, yelling, "Come out here, Anthony! Are you even a man? You didn't even clarify everything! Why are you hiding?!"
Sitting in the living room, Anthony’s brows knitted tightly together as he heard her voice.
She was so severely hurt, yet she got herself discharged?
Inhaling deeply, he could no longer hold it back as he stood up and walked out.
When he opened the door, his originally concerned face instantly turned frigid, uncaring as he eyed Charmine emotionlessly. "Yes?"
Charmine's eyes reddened as she glared at him. "What are you doing, Anthony? Do you really want to break up?" she lambasted him. "What makes you think we'll break up just because you said so? Am I something you can push and pull whenever you want to?!"
Anthony merely shot her an apathetic glance. "We break up when feelings are no longer present. Isn’t this normal? Ms. Jordan, you’ve always had many suitors, so why won't you just leave?"
