chapter 1930
Annabel failed to catch Susan's intention and believed in her advice instead. "Alright then, I'll go over there to pray for Ms. Charmine first thing in the morning tomorrow."
Susan gave her an approving look. " Remember: Starting from the gate of the church, kneel every three steps that you take. Otherwise, you’re not sincere enough."
Annabel nodded. "As long as Ms. Charmine will wake up, I’m willing to kneel from here to the outskirts of the city if I have to!"
She would do more than just kneel from the gate of the church.
After Susan had left, Annabel went back into Charmine's ward, where Anthony sat by the bed to look after Charmine. His eyes never once left her.
Charmine was still breathing weakly, pipes attached to her body. She showed no trace of waking up.
Annabel stood by the end of the bed and watched over Charmine, feeling distressed.
She could only put her hopes on the church. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
That afternoon, Annabel stayed in the hospital to look after Charmine and Anthony. 2
She filled up the water, called for the nurses to change the IV, tidied the room, and placed the flowers inside the room.
Anthony, on the other hand, seemed as though he did not even notice her there. All he could see was Charmine, and he never once left her. His gaze was tumultuous with worry.
At night, Grandma Bailey and Senior Bailey came to visit Charmine, distressed with seeing her in such a state.
Grandma Bailey looked at Anthony and said, "Anthony, now that Charmine is unwell, there's no point for you to stay here. Go home and get some rest. Come back tomorrow."
Annabel said, "President Bailey, go home and get some rest. I'll be fine staying here with Ms. Charmine." "No need." Anthony refused to budge. "I can stay here by myself. You all may go home."
Charmine was hurt because of his carelessness. How could he go home to get some rest?
He would not leave here until Charmine was to wake up.
Grandma Bailey was helpless. She knew how stubborn his grandson was. 1
The woman laying in bed was the woman that he cared the most. He must have felt worse than anyone else.
Grandma Bailey did not argue on the matter. She sighed heavily and stopped talking him out. She turned to Annabel and said, "Annabel, you come home with us. You're pregnant, so you need to rest."
Annabel shook her head weakly with a look of determination. "Thank you for your concern, Grandma Bailey, but I won’t be coming home with you. I want to stay here with Ms. Charmine." 1
It was evident how crestfallen Annabel was just by listening to her, and even her dewy eyes were filled with guilt.
Grandpa Bailey wanted to say something else when Susan suddenly spoke up. "Mother, let her stay. Look at her: Even if she goes home, she won't be able to sleep anyway. She might feel better staying here watching over Charmine."
Grandma Bailey thought about it and did not insist. She looked at Annabel gently and said, "You stay, then. Do rest at night." "Okay." Annabel nodded.
The Baileys then left.
Following that, Annabel went to buy dinner, and once she did, she brought them to Anthony. "President Bailey, you haven't eaten all day. Please, eat something."
Anthony did not even look at her as he coldly replied, "No thanks."
Annabel sighed helplessly. She could only place the food on the table.
She had no appetite as well, but for the sake of the baby, she had to force herself to eat.
Later that night, Annabel slept on the hard sofa while Anthony slept by the bed. He kept his eyes on the monitors and did not shut his eyes.
The next day, Annabel woke up at around four in the morning.
Her gaze turned toward Anthony and Charmine, and the sight tugged at her heart so sharply.
