chapter 1480
Anthony felt utterly confused. He knew he should be happy seeing Charmine like this.
Charmine had moved on from him and had found a man worthy of her love. He should be happy for her!
Was this not what he hoped for?
He was the one who pushed her away. He deserved all the hurt he felt.
With a self-deprecating smile, Anthony took his car key and rushed out of his company. As though releasing all his pent-up anger, he drove the fastest he could, light-speeding back to the Baileys’ mansion.
He locked himself in his bedroom and started downing bottles of alcohol, one after another.
The next morning, when Nial was about to go to work, he walked past Anthony's room and caught a whiff of the unmistakable smell of alcohol.
He frowned. What happened?
Nial knocked on Anthony's door and asked, "Bro, what are you doing in there?"
Nobody replied. He merely heard the sound of glass smashing against the floor.
Nial's heart sank as he barged inside, and he was instantly hit with the strong smell of alcohol.
The curtains were closed, and it was dark inside, but he could see Anthony sitting in front of the sofa, his being visibly...lonely.
He looked as though something precious had been robbed off of him. He seemed desolate, helpless.
Nial looked at the countless empty bottles around him. He slowly approached him and sighed, "Bro, why are you so drunk?"
Anthony had been drinking all night, and his eyes were red as a result. He seemed to have grown a stubble, and he looked like a hot mess.
He glanced at Nial and growled, "It's none of your business. Get out!"
Nial frowned at him, incredibly concerned. He mustered up his courage and said, "Your stomach hasn't been well, and you have been drinking all night. Are you trying to end yourself?"
Anthony grabbed another bottle, tipping his well-chiseled chin upward to gulp down half of the bottle before snapping, "Get out!"
Nial was angry. "If you care about Charmine so much, go and speak to her! Why punish yourself instead!?"
Anthony smiled mockingly.
What else could he say? Should he have told her he was still in love with her?
Not happening.
She had let go of him completely and found someone who could take care of her.
That man was more mature than him, more caring than him, and much better than him in every way.
Anthony, on the other hand, would only hurt her and not even provide her with the most basic happiness. What right did he have to love her? 1
Anthony tossed the empty bottle away and opened another bottle to continue drinking.
Nial walked over and tried to take the bottle away from him, but Anthony merely pushed him away. "I said leave me alone!"
Nial looked at him. He was worried and angry.
He pursed his lips and said, 'TH tell Charmine, then!"
With that said, he turned away and walked out.
Only Charmine would be able to help Anthony.
"Stop!"
Anthony narrowed his eyes and looked at him. "Do you want to be sent to Afreeqa and never come back?" "I might as well be!"
He did not want to see Anthony punishing himself this way, after all.
Noticing how serious Nial was, Anthony tossed the bottle at hand away and stood up to block him, but...
His world turned pitch-black the moment he stood up, unable to see anything.
He closed his eyes to massage his temples as he walked in Nial's direction.
However...
He felt his stomach contracting just after taking two steps, and soon after, he felt blood rushing up to his throat.
He could smell the iron as he audibly spat out a mouthful of blood. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
He had no control over it, however, as he threw up all over.
"Bro!"
Alarmed, Nial rushed over to hold on to him, anxiously saying, "You’re spewing out blood everywhere! I’m sending you to the ER!" Oh, dear!
