After having Charmine settle in the ward, the nurse placed an oxygen mask on her and set up the electrocardiograms, blood pressure monitors, and medical drips.Charmine laid in bed, unmoving. Her breaths were shallow, and it was a painful sight to watch.Anthony sat by the bedside, and his big hands held onto her cold hands. He looked at her worriedly.Grandma Bailey gazed at Charmine, just as worried and with reddened eyes.She dabbed away the tears pooling in her eyes as she feebly lamented, "It’s not easy for Charmine to finally live with us. Now that this happened, how could her life get so difficult? If she doesn’t wake up…how shall I pass this on to the Jordans?"It only agonized her the more she thought of Charmine's fate, and her tears finally fell."Ms. Charmine will be fine," said Annabel, standing at the side, sounding determined as she spoke. "She'll wake up. She will!"Hearing everyone talking, Anthony frowned and looked at them. "Everyone can go home for now. I'll
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.…That afternoon, Annabel stayed in the hospital to look after Charmine and Anthony.She f
Charmine had yet to wake up, and Anthony's eyes were still wide open.The two of them had been through so much to be together. Why was God so harsh on them?Annabel could not watch this anymore. She bit her pale lip before carefully choosing her words, saying, "President Bailey, I’m going out to get breakfast."Anthony did not seem to hear her. He sat by the bed and held Charmine's hand, his bloodshot gaze never leaving Charmine.Annabel looked away and turned to leave.The sky was dark, and the streets were being cleaned. The smell of all sorts of breakfast dishes being prepared in shops wafted from afar.Annabel stopped a taxi and went straight to the church.Upon arriving, she noted that the ancient church was quiet, and the door up ahead was still shut.She looked around and let out a sigh of relief. She had feared she was not the first to arrive, that she would not be the first to offer her prayers.She went to the gate of the church and thought of what Susan said to her.
[Annabel]There was an article on Annabel going to pray at the church, and there was also a video about it.In that video, Annabel was shown to have arrived at the church's gates when the sky was still dark. She knelt every three steps over the course of a few hundred meters of the pavement. She knocked her head along the way.Even though her knees and head were swollen, she did not care about herself. She remained determined and managed to be the first to get into the church.When she prayed, she prayed sincerely for Charmine.Everyone was shocked.[Annabel is so sincere and prayed for Charmine, her supposed enemy?][She knelt for an hour! Her knees are even bleeding!][Annabel is too kind! She seems to be weak, but at such an important moment, she could do such a thing!][No wonder Anthony and Charmine are willing to let her in. She is so kind][I feel that she'd be a better Mrs. Bailey. She is kind and will bring luck to her husband.]…Susan woke up early and sat on the
"It doesn’t hurt," replied Annabel kindly. "This is nothing serious."Grandma Bailey felt aggrieved as she looked at Annabel. "Silly girl, you actually knelt all the way from the gate to the church… If it works, there wouldn't be any illness in the world."Annabel had a determined look in her eyes. "As long as there’s hope even in the slightest, even if it’s one in a thousandth, I'll try it for Ms. Charmine. This is all that I can do for her. This is nothing compared to what she had done for me…"Annabel looked troubled with guilt; it should have been her laying in that bed.Anthony, on the other hand, paused upon hearing Annabel's words.She…went to pray for Charmine? She knelt all the way from the gate to the church?Anthony thought of how she had left at four in the morning, and his bloodshot eyes mellowed at this.He glanced at her, and after a moment, he continued to look at Charmine.When Grandma Bailey heard this, she was moved and touched.She looked at Annabel lovingl
“Annabel, you must take good care of your body. You have our blood in your belly, our only hope if Charmine doesn’t wake up…” Grandma Bailey wiped off the tears and fell silent for a very long while. After sobbing for a while, she said, “If this is true, only you can take care of Anthony and Momo in the future…” Annabel’s pale face was filled with tears. Her watery eyes were filled with tears, she said with determination, “No, Miss Charmine will wake up, she will… I prayed for her at the church sincerely, she is a blessed lady, God will not want her suffering. She must wake up…” Grandma Bailey saw how genuine her look was, she was very touched. Hopefully… She held on to her hand tightly, the both of them stood before the bed and looked at Charmine who had not woken up in bed… The time had passed. Up until the night time, Charmine still had not woken up. Grandma Bailey was feeling sad and unsettled. She almost fainted and the crowd had to send her home. When Doctor Wei
Anthony halted. Right, he almost forgot that if it was not for Coco, that if Derek taught his daughter correctly, Charmine would not have ended up like this!Derek must have done this on purpose! He would never forgive those who hurt Charmine!His reddened eyes turned cold. He looked at a demon from hell. Annabel said, “President Bailey, go on. And wash up. I will stay here to look after Miss Charmine. When you come back, she will be awake.” Anthony glanced at Annabel. Thinking of how considerate she had been over the past five days, he did not suspect her and stood up to leave. When he went out of the ward, Anthony phoned Luke, “Within three days, get hold of all of Derek’s shares. I want him with nothing left and reputation ruined!” … Late at night, inside the ward. Annabel was sitting by the bed, looking at Charmine who was not waking up, her pale face was filled with guilt. She looked at the clock inside the ward, the time was getting closer to twelve. Tonight
Anthony could only try her best to stay calm. She shook her pale face and said in a wronged tone, “Miss Charmine, I don’t know what you’re talking about…I didn’t want to hurt you, really. I saw the pipe tilted and so I wanted to help you fix it…” “Ha! You’re still denying it at this moment? It seems that you won’t admit it!” Charmine clapped her hands. Instantly, the door was opened again and Kay came in with Felix. When Felix saw the crowd, he pointed his finger at Annabel and said, “This woman asked me to ruin the motorcycle and then act along with her. She then paid me handsomely. She is the mastermind!: Annabel glared at him and growled, “No! It wasn’t me! Someone must have bribed you!” “Ha! I knew you would deny it, so I recorded you!” Felix smiled and took out his phone from the pocket. He played out the recording of his conversation with Annabel. Instantly, everyone heard the deal between Felix and Annabel. Anyone could tell that the gentle voice belonged to Annabe
