chapter 1477
Anthony instinctively let go of Charmine and massaged his temples.
Charmine seemed unwilling to let go of him, however, as she cried out, " Anthony..."
Anthony's heart clenched at her cry. He instantly forgot about the sharp pain that plagued his head.
Biting back the pain and with clenched fists, he caved in and lowered his head once more to kiss her gently, one peck after another.
He looked at her emotionally, gently caressing her face, and his thumbs gently rubbed her red lips. He did not want to leave her.
He stayed by her bedside for half an hour more. When he saw the machine beside her indicating she was in a normal state once more, he was finally relieved.
He pressed the bell and had William return to Charmine’s ward.
William examined Charmine's body and said, "She's showing signs of waking up." 1
Anthony said, "Don't tell her that I came."
Otherwise, Charmine would surely catch something.
William nodded and looked at him. "How's your body lately?" "I'm getting treated."
Anthony took one last emotional glance at Charmine reluctantly, but he had no choice. "I need to go now," he muttered.
"Okay," replied William and sighed.
Around ten minutes after Anthony had left, Charmine woke up. She looked around the empty room and vaguely recalled what happened.
She looked around disconcertedly.
She looked at William who was examining her and asked, "Did Anthony come?"
William shook his head. "No. Only the few of us stayed with you." 1
She frowned and vaguely recalled the gentle things Anthony said to her by her ear. He even kissed her.
She could still feel his lips on hers. It seemed that his heat still lingered on them.
The burning kiss felt so real...
"Really?” repeated Charmine, not giving up on the idea.
Alexander said, "He never came, sweetheart. Don't get mad, though-the douche isn't worth your anger."
Charmine had a hint of disappointment in her eyes.
She was involved in an accident and had rumors of her seeing Maurice. Did these not faze him at all?
He even stopped caring for her!
No matter what happened to her, even if he knew about it, he would not do anything.
Charmine was visibly disappointed, her ridicule-laced smile adorning her face.
The gentle words he said and the emotional kiss were all part of her dream.
Meanwhile, Maurice saw the look of hurt in her eyes and was baffled.
Mr. Bailey seemed to love this girl a lot. She loved him, too.
Why, then, did this happen?
Charmine could feel a pair of intense eyes on her. She looked up to meet Maurice's eyes.
She noticed that he was quite ill himself. She thought of something and asked, "Mo, did you save me?" Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
She thought that the voice calling out to her-"Gem!"-before she blacked out was a dream. It appeared to be otherwise.
He really did jump into the lake to save her, and without hesitation at that.
"It's only right," replied Maurice gently.
It was then the director approached by the side and muttered, "My apologies, Ms. Jordan. It’s our fault. I would like to apologize to you on behalf of the entire crew. We’re willing to be responsible for everything." "Weren’t you supposed to have safety precautions before filming?" deadpanned Eric. "Why did nobody realize when the incident occurred? If Mr. Lukas didn't notice in time, none of you could afford her life!" 1
The director and the producer both bowed at Charmine sincerely. "We’re really sorry."
Nobody saw this coming.
Charmine narrowed her eyes and recounted what happened at the bottom of the lake...
