"I only want to be with Mommy. I don't want to go back to that cold house! I
Before Chris could finish, his eyes rolled to the back of his head and his body stiffened. His tiny body jolted as if he was electrocuted.
He had a seizure.
A moment later, foam spewed from the corners of his lips.
Charmine's heart plummeted. She did not expect herself to have triggered Chris once again. Worried, she thought of something and urgently said," Alright, Mommy will bring you."
This was her only way of calming him. Once they arrived at Roskow, she would ask Anthony to bring him home.
Chris’ seizure receded over the minute, and he recovered a while later. He quickly clung onto Charmine, his tiny body jolting from time to time, as though she would leave him.
However, at the deep ends of his eyes was an impish shine.
Charmine hugged him and patted his bag, saying, "Alright, pack your bag. Uncle William is picking us up later."
Chris wiped off the sliver of foam at his lips and recovered a moment later.
He nodded. "Okay."
With that said, he quickly got out of bed and rambled, "Momo will be on his best behavior, and I won't let Mommy worry. I'll take care of myself and Mommy!"
Hearing and seeing Chris, visibly lonely and helpless, tugged at Charmine's heartstrings. It felt bitter, yet it was heartwarming as well.
She could bring Chris along, but at the end of the day, he was a Bailey.
She had no right to treat him as her own. Thus, she could only go along with her current plan and make up another as she would go.
Charmine went out and started to tidy up the bamboo house.
Inside the room...
Chris was packing his belongings. He sat by the bedside and looked out the window with his watery eyes fixed on the village chiefs house.
He was leaving...but he had promised Chloe he would come and fly the kite with her that very day.
Chirs looked away reluctantly. He picked up his phone and texted Chloe.
[Chloe, I’m going to Roskow with mommy. I'll be there for a few years. I’ll come and visit you when I can.]
Chris held onto the phone tightly upon submitting the text. He looked back at the village chief's house with a strong sense of longingness.
He had no idea when he would meet Chloe again. He hoped that the village chief and Chloe would always be at their best.
After Anthony left Mount Village in the dead of the night, he continued his journey as he took a cruise to Burton Island. A meeting with Nial was then followed up with a physical examination conducted by Nial and a few other doctors.
The data showed that he could have the artificial hippocampus inserted in him.
"Your data matches, Bro!" declared Nial. "You may undergo the surgery. If nothing else is keeping you, we can start the craniotomy. Need I remind you, however, that the chance of success is very small. If we fail, you may not be able to wake up. Even if we succeed, you may very well end up paralyzed. Think this through."
Anthony, though his expression was calm, had a look of determination flaring in his eyes. "Alright, we may proceed," he replied.
He had already thought it through on the way here. No matter what the result was, he had to try it.
This was his only chance...and he would gamble his life for Charmine.
Nial sighed and said, "Okay, we'll get ready."
Anthony nodded. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
As the team of doctors were preparing everything necessary, Anthony walked to the window and looked out at the boundless sea.
If the surgery failed, he had instructed William to look after Charmine.
All of his assets would go on to Charmine.
Even without him around, he wanted her to live a trouble-free, happy life for the rest of her days.
Hands clasped behind him, Anthony's tall figure stood before the window, visibly despondent.
