Charmine frowned as she looked at Chris. "What do you mean?"
Anthony was not that severely wounded. Why would it be dangerous?
Chris leaned closer toward Charmine and whispered, "The man who came with Auntie Dior is a bad guy. He tried hiring a hitman to assassinate Daddy once. If Daddy is left alone here, and unconscious at that, the man might attack him again!" 1
Charmine paused at this, instinctively recalling Anthony's conversation with the man he talked with during the festivity.
The man made it apparent that he would not let go of Anthony easily.
She looked at the unconscious Anthony.
Anyone could attack him at this stage.
Although she did not care about Anthony, she cared about Chris. He would be devastated if anything were to happen to Anthony.
Chris tugged at her arm and swung it feebly. "Mommy, please take care of Daddy for a while, I beg you. I really don't want Daddy to get hurt..."
Charmine gazed at Chris' chubby face and reached out to ruffle his hair.
"Alright, I'll stay and look after him. You go and stay safe; look after Chloe." "Okay." Chris nodded and took another glance at Anthony before leaving with Chloe.
As everyone left, the initially festive ground was empty, save Charmine and Anthony.
Charmine remained where she was as she coldly eyed Anthony, who was beside her.
Unconscious and pale, he seemed very weak.
Despite his condition, Charmine seemed unconcerned, unbothered as she, as if he did not exist, took out her phone to work on the village's development.
Chris and Chloe initially walked with the villagers before they slowed down, went to the back of the ground, and hid.
"Wait for me here, Chloe," said Chris, "I want to see how my Mommy and Daddy are getting along." "Alright!" Chloe thus went to stand at a safe distance diligently. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Chris, meanwhile, sneaked toward a tree, his eyes gleaming as he peered into Charmine and Anthony's direction.
All he saw was Charmine sitting on the chair with her legs crossed. She seemed distant and apathetic as she video-called her staff, discussing work.
She did not care about Anthony at all, letting him lay there on his own.
Chris frowned. How could this be?
His plan B would be wasted if nothing changed and the doctor arrived. Anthony would have suffered for no reason!
No. He had to think of another way.
Chris pursed his lips, and with a thought, he returned to Chloe’s side and told her his plan.
Blinking, Chloe warned, "But this sounds dangerous, Chris." "It's okay, Chloe, just don't get close. I'll do it."
Chloe halted.
While this was Chris' mission, she still felt that surge of warmth when she heard about how he cared for her. i
Throughout her life, other than her Grandma and Uncle, only Chris and Auntie Charmine cared about her.
"Okay then, Chris. I'll take you there, but do be very careful," reminded Chloe.
"Alright," answered Chris as he ruffled her hair. "Don’t worry, I'll take care of myself."
Chloe then brought him to a cave under the mountain.
As they spotted the cave, they also noticed the metal cage inside, one that housed a few snakes. 1
Poisonous, at that.
Chris could feel his head numbing at the sight.
Turning around, he was about to shield Chloe when...
Calmly, Chloe put some sulfur powder on her hands. She did not look scared at all.
At this moment, Chloe managed to impress Chris. Despite her adorable and loveable disposition, nothing seemed to faze her. She was not proud, but neither was she a weakling.
