Charmine did not understand it, but it felt rather peculiar as she gazed at the cherry blossom tree in front of Dr. Weir’s house. It seemed to exude a different air, and the bamboo house appeared to be a place with stories. Charmine then began, curiously so, “This is a beautiful home. Did you build this yourself?” “If only I could build such a nice bamboo house! Look at the bamboo house; it’s rather old. And the cherry blossoms are so well-grown, it’d take at least five years to grow them! Someone introduced this place to me, and I’ve only lived here for a year. “I heard a couple lived here in secrecy, but something happened and they left this place to a friend, saying that this place can only be sold to someone worthy of it, and it just so happened that I moved in here. Doesn’t it feel like the air here is incredibly nostalgic somehow?” said Dr. Weir. Charmine nodded; she somehow got the image of an ideal couple residing in this very bamboo house as she gazed at it. She walke

Charmine waited on the same spot, but it did not take long before Dr. Weir came out of his house with a few books in his arms. The books seemed ancient, with dark blue covers and old-styled writings. [Secrets of Weir], [Weir’s Medications], [Notes from Weir]… Charmine’s brows furrowed at the sight of the books. She had heard about them before, and they were the most invaluable books in the medical world. No matter which book it was, in it were recorded methods for curing some diseases unknown to regular people. Someone offered 50 million in the black market to get any of these books, while other descendants and students of the Weir family even fought hard for them, but Dr. Weir safeguarded them all. Who would have thought that Dr. Weir would bring them all out? Dr. Weir placed them on the table nonchalantly. He flipped open one of them and tore it down in front of Charmine. Rip! Charmine’s eyelids twitched. “Uncle Weir, what are you doing? These books are very precious…!

She felt at peace whenever she was racing. With so many occurrences that had happened this day, Anthony’s handsome face somehow always managed to worm its way into Charmine’s headspace. A man like him would not secretly carve out her name somewhere; he would not love her as much. It was even more unlikely for them to live a secluded life like the bamboo house’s owner, retiring like an ideal couple. Perhaps even the paper crane personally folded by Dr. Weir would not grant her wish... Lost was Charmine in her thoughts that she did not notice the road ahead blocked by a group of people. She had no choice but to stop her motorbike. “What happened?” she asked. “The sweetie Annabel from our Southern Village, she’s got rich!” answered a villager enthusiastically. “She’s found a rich guy! Look at what car they’re driving her in. I heard every car is at least a few million! We’ve never seen such cars in our lives!” Charmine frowned. Annabel? Anthony’s ex-girlfriend, Annabel Smith?

What was that? How odd. If he was innocent, how would he know his tire was ‘acting strange’ without even looking at it? Most importantly, it was what he said in the end. His assistant was busy? Luke was busy with handling Annabel’s matters, was he not? Charmine was in no mood to entertain. “Mr. Bailey has so many men. Can’t you find one to fetch you?” “I’m in a hurry to take care of Momo. Without me around, he wouldn’t have his dinner,” answered Anthony in a matter-of-fact tone. Charmine suddenly felt as if she had lost the argument. Whenever he mentioned Chris, she would go speechless. Had Anthony chose to call his men to fetch him, it would take at least two hours to and fro since it was peak hour. Moreover, as it was already 5pm, Chris must have been waiting alone for him in the mansion… Even though Chris lied to her earlier, she had a soft spot for him. She had no choice but to let Anthony cling to her as she drove away. When they reached the crossroads, Anthony

Anthony’s words sounded like a command with a hint of worry. He knew about the existence of William, and he knew how much he liked Charmine. This was the first time Anthony felt unsure of himself when he was usually strategized. Charmine saw the seriousness in his look; she had never seen him this way before. She was touched by this and nodded. “Okay.” Only then did Anthony let go of her wrist. “Be careful.” Charmine halted for a second before igniting the engine and left. Before this, her heart faltered by what she saw in the village, and all she wanted to do was to help Anthony and Annabel get together. However, at this moment, she really wanted to wait for a little longer. Just a little longer. Perhaps Anthony would give her a satisfactory answer… Anthony stood in front of the villa with one hand in his pocket. Looking at Charmine’s retreating form, his eyes gradually became darker and duller. With mixed feelings, Charmine went back to Royal Hospital. Only Rio was pr
