Charmine's expression faltered.
Chris was supposed to be free from his seizures. Why was it back again?
He was not acting, though-he was genuinely foaming at the mouth! Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Was he having a seizure again?
Charmine then recalled how ill Chris once was and how he was once bedridden in the ICU, almost not making it out safely.
Charmine pursed her lips. She, ultimately, did not want him to suffer.
Glancing at Anthony, she then hoisted Chris into his arms and rubbed his back, muttering, "Okay, I promise you."
This instantly made Chris inwardly perk up.
Alright! Mission succeeded!
Of course, his tiny form continued to shiver, and he eventually ceased to as Charmine patted him.
His tiny body would spasm sporadically, and he even reached out his tiny hand to wipe off the foam from his lips.
With his head facing away from Charmine, however, he winked at the worried Chloe who stood by the door.
Standing outside, Chloe sighed in relief as she noticed Chris was alright, shooting him a smile.
Noticing Chris's convulsions had ceased, Charmine pulled him up and said, "Don't worry. When you face troubles in the future, you must stay calm. Don't scare Mommy every time, okay?"
He would always have a seizure every time he panicked, but his tiny body should not be subjected to such torture.
Sniffling, he hoarsely insisted, "Mommy, hurry and save Daddy!”
Charmine was speechless.
"Bring Chloe home, then. I'll stay here for now."
Chris looked around and muttered, "But what if you don't-" "Don't worry," Charmine reassured him. "I've promised you, and I’ll see it through. You can't stay here." "Alright, then..."
Chris looked at Anthony worriedly and said, "Daddy, don't die. Mommy is about to save you!"
The sight, of course, baffled Charmine.
It was as if Chris was behaving like an adult as he gently patted Anthony's hand, then said to Charmine, "Chloe and I will head back home now, Mommy. I'll leave Daddy to you. You must save him!" "Okay." Charmine then bade them farewell, advising, "Go on, and stay safe."
Walking out, Chris held Chloe's hand and left.
Charmine leaned on the sofa and watched as both children faded from view before shutting the door and texted Kay, "Prepare a doll, and give it to me from the back window. Don't let Chris see it."
After sending the text, she took another look at Anthony.
He seemed to be more agonized than before. His face contorted into a grimace, and he kept fidgeting in the bed.
Charmine did not have to touch him to know that his body was burning like fire.
Kay would not make it here as quick. If this went on, Anthony's head might be damaged from the heat!
After a moment of hesitation, she prepared a bowl of cold water and a towel, bringing it to the bedside.
Squeezing the excess water off of the towel, she wiped his head, neck, and palms that were beaded with sweat.
Anthony, whose temperature was flaring, looked restless, but when he felt a cold touch, it felt like the cooling breeze on a summer's day.
It brought him comfort, and he gently opened his eyes. Despite his blurry vision, he saw a familiar figure before him.
She had a towel in hand and she was wiping his palms. Her movement was gentle, but her demeanor was far from kind. She looked hostile, even.
He tried to focus on her face.
Charmine...?
Anthony paused.
Why was she here?
It was only a moment later did he feel it; a strange sensation tingling his entire body. He could sense, at that moment, that he had been drugged.
Charmine was taking care of him?
Warmth surged within him.
She cared about him after all, did she not? So much so that she, knowing what happened to him, was willing to stay by his side?
