Chapter 1619
Luke looked out of the window worriedly. Why was Charmine not home yet?
Unless...
Did she not care at all, even with how severely hurt Anthony was?
Luke could only get the water himself and tried to lower Anthony’s fever.
Charmine held the umbrella and walked in the rain.
She could not help thinking of how drenched Anthony was, how he was pale and that he had fainted.
Although she was worried about his health, she did not want to care about him anymore.
He brought this upon himself. No one made him come to this village.
Charmine shook her head and forced herself not to think of the jerk. The light was dim, and she somehow arrived at the heel of the mountain, finding a run-down small house as she did.
It was pitch dark inside.
She opened the door and, taking advantage of the light from outside, took out her dagger to cut some wood to start a fire.
The pitch dark room was lit up, and the room became warmer.
She saw clearly how empty the room was with no other belongings around.
The only good thing was that it could act as a shelter.
This was not too difficult.
Charmine's red lips curled into a smile as she walked outside and started a fire. She moved a few stones from the outside.
She then walked to the bamboo forest not too far away, brandishing the dagger at hand to cut a few bamboos.
Instantly, the entire bamboo fell. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Her gait was domineering and cool, much like a female warrior.
She chopped off a few more bamboos and went back to the house. She sat before the fire and peeled the bamboo, one after another.
She managed to use the fire to dry out the drenched bamboo. After they were cleanly peeled, she took out a string to tie them all up and placed them on the stone.
With this, a clean, comfortable bed appeared.
Charmine tossed the remaining wood into the fire pit. She laid on the bamboo bed with her hands behind her head. She fell asleep. 1
The rain had stopped that morning. The sky was turning brighter, and Anthony was woken up by pain.
He looked at the bamboo in front of him. With a thought, his blood boiled.
Had Charmine finally given in and brought him home after he passed out?
He got out of bed and saw...only Luke was there. He had fallen asleep on the table.
Luke was woken up by Anthony.
Realizing that he had woken up, he finally let out a sigh of relief. "Boss, you're finally awake! How do you feel?"
Anthony did not seem to have heard him. He looked around and asked, " Where’s Charmine?"
Luke was just as confused as he explained, "After you came in last night, Ms. Jordan went out with an umbrella. I don’t know if she went ahead to find you a doctor or not." "D*mn it!"
Anthony instinctively thought of how, if Charmine allowed him to come inside, she must have gone out to look for a doctor or get him medicines.
It was raining so heavily last night, and she did not know this place. What if anything happened to her?
His heart sank and looked at Luke. "If anything happens to her, you might as well die!"
With that said, he dragged his tired body to walk out.
Luke watched his weak figure and said worriedly, "Boss, your body-" "Get out!" snapped Anthony before he vanished through the door.
He walked out quickly and searched from the front of the village to the end.
Eventually, he caught a whiff of something burning at the heel of the mountain.
