chapter 1775
Annabel pursed her lips. "I... Of course, I don’t want to have President Bailey's baby, but I don’t have a choice now. Furthermore..."
Her eyes were fixed on her swollen belly, and she lovingly caressed the bump. "I’ve become attached to my child after all this time. If she won’t be able to leave, I'll take care of her and nurture her. Don't worry: she'll be my baby, and I won't get involved in your lives."
Charmine looked at Annabel’s kind face and thought for a while before agreeing, "Alright, take care of the baby safely, then. Anthony and I won't mistreat you."
With that said, Charmine gave her a check of five million bucks. "If you need anything else, tell me."
Anthony frowned at Charmine, his gaze toward her involuted with emotions.
Annabel was just as shocked. How was Charmine still so generous?
Alas, other than this, there was no other way.
She had to accept the check and nod. 'Thank you."
Charmine arranged a VIP ward for Annabel and requested special nurses.
After making the arrangement, Anthony and Charmine walked out of the ward. He held her hand and asked, "My darling, why did you agree?"
This was not something Charmine would usually do.
He remembered how Charmine used to propose to break up with him to let him be with Annabel.
This time, the baby was to be born, yet she could...accept it?
Charmine halted and turned to look at him. "We've been through so much, and it’s not easy for us to have come to this. This time, I won’t let anything ruin our wedding!” she vowed, filled with pride and determination.
Anthony was touched. Charmine's point of view on this situation was for the best.
'Thank you, my darling wife."
He held her hand and left the hospital.
Two days had passed, and Annabel was still safe in the hospital.
Anthony and Charmine were busy with their wedding. They were going back and forth from the bamboo house to the rose garden. They were too immersed in their wedding dealings that they had forgotten about Annabel's matter.
The wedding was in a few days, and Anthony and Charmine looked forward to it. They even had fun decorating the wedding venue.
Unexpectedly, a call disrupted the peace between them both.
As Anthony was instructing the staff at the rose garden, Luke phoned him, audibly hesitating as he did, "Boss..."
Luke did not want to disturb Anthony, but he was worried about something happening at the hospital, thus he said weakly, "Annabel is at the hospital, and she doesn't drink or eat every day. She talks to herself and doesn't sleep, too. According to the nurse, it seems that she has a mild depression ... The doctor asks if you, the father of the baby, would like to go over to check on her." 1
Anthony frowned. The words, 'father of the baby' went right into his heart.
"Do not mention this in front of Charmine!" he warned Luke under his breath. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
"Yes, Sir!"
Luke instantly nodded and said, "Boss, it seems to be the best if you... Well, if anything happens to Annabel before your wedding and someone reports it, this would be harmful to you."
Anthony’s face darkened.
After all, he was the one causing Annabel to suffer.
It made sense for him to visit her.
Most importantly, he did not want any accident to happen at such a crucial point.
