"We’re off to Roskow, Chloe," replied Charmine gently. "Take good care of Grandma at home. We'll come and visit you when we have time."
Chloe pursed her lips and fixed her eyes on Charmine. She asked, "You’re leaving all of a sudden, Auntie Charmine. Are you hiding from Uncle Anthony? Have you decided to hide away for a few years to feel better? You don't have to go so far; you can keep a low profile in Mount Village!"
Charmine stiffened. It was as if she was exposed, her pupils dilated and quivered.
Lips pressed into a thin line, she then parted them and said, "You're still a young girl, Chloe, you don't understand. I’m not doing this for anyone. I have my own plan."
With that said, she ruffled her hair. "Go back to sleep."
Charmine opened the car door. Just as she was about to go inside-
Knowing she had yet to convince Charmine, Chloe blurted, "Uncle Anthony isn’t getting married; he went to get treated on an island. This surgery only has a twenty-percent chance of success, and he's likely to die during the surgery. Even if the operation turns out to be a success, he might be paralyzed." 1 Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
When William heard about this, his eyes were filled with disbelief.
How did this young girl know about that?
Charmine gazed at Chloe, utterly baffled. "Chloe, what are you talking about? Anthony is fine, why would he undergo surgery?"
Chloe said, "Uncle Anthony had allowed Dr. Jennie to experiment on his brain, inflicting amnesia and frequent migraines in the aftermath, causing him to forget things frequently, especially important matters. Furthermore, his muscles would shrink in time. Uncle Anthony was worried about not being able to provide you with a happy life, which was why he treated you the way he did." "What!?" Charmine’s eyes widened as she stared at Chloe incredulously.
Anthony had amnesia?
Impossible! How could that be?
If Anthony treated her due to an illness, why would he go ahead and marry Waverly, even going so far as sleeping with her?!
He merely fell out of love, and it was not due to the illness.
William, unable to pretend like he knew nothing, confessed, "Ms. Jordan, the girl is telling the truth. Mr. Bailey was diagnosed with amnesia. That’s why he chose to leave you to not hurt you."
Charmine's head buzzed.
Even William claimed the same thing. Was this...true?
He left her because of amnesia?
D*mn it!
Charmine then recalled the days before she was supposed to marry Anthony. Those days, he would often forget events that truly mattered.
It was not that he did not care.
Was it just due to his illness, then?
Did his love for her, even after all this time, remain? Had he loved her so much that he, in an honest attempt to not torture her, chose to do what he did to her?
Fool. What a fool he was.
Chloe said, "Auntie Charmine, Uncle Anthony is now receiving treatment at Burton Island. The operation is about to start. Hurry and stop him." "Alright." Charmine came to a realization at that moment and said, 'Thank you, Chloe."
Chloe smiled. "You're welcome." 'TH take you there, Ms. Jordan," offered William.
"Okay." Charmine nodded and turned to look at Dior. Feeling the guilt creeping up on her, she apologized, "Ms. Granger, I'm sorry, but I can't go to
Roskow. I have to find Anthony."
Dior smiled understandingly. She got out of the car and hugged her. "It's okay. Go and get him. Seeing you happy is better than going to Roskow.”
Charmine nodded. "See you when I see you." "Okay.” Dior looked carefree, evidently happy for Charmine. "Go on, I’ll wait to hear from you."
Charmine nodded and looked at Chris. "Dear, why don't you stay here? I’m going to find your Daddy, and I will be back soon.”
Although Chris wanted to see Anthony, he knew it was an urgent matter, and he must not stop her.
He obediently got out of the car and replied, 'Take good care of yourself, Mommy. You must bring back Daddy!" "Okay." Charmine ruffled his hair. "Go on. Mommy will be leaving now."
Dior took out hers and Chris' luggage from the car. The three of them stood on the same spot as they watched the car leave.
The car was getting smaller before finally, it faded from view.
