chapter 1671
After all, Charmine did not want to owe Anthony too much.
Then...
Just as her hand stretched out to grab Anthony, she heard a muffled yell coming from the top that went, "Help...! Help...!"
Charmine halted. That voice...
"Help! Can someone help us...?! We fell into the pit!"
The cry for help was repetitive. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Anthony also heard this. He stopped and turned back.
This voice sounded familiar.
Charmine, meanwhile, had recognized the voice already. It was Dior's, and Charmine knew this for a fact because Dior had told her she was going uphill to see the stars last night.
Charmine looked over to search where the voice was coming from...and realized it was coming from the top.
Judging how urgent the voice sounded, the two of them must have fallen into a pit and got hurt.
Charmine looked at Anthony and said, "You head down now."
Dior was her only close friend, and she had to save her.
Anthony pursed his lips and did not want her to go up alone. "I'll come with you," he replied.
Charmine frowned at his response. Scrutinizing the state he was in, she refuted, "No, you must get down and treat your wound."
Anthony insisted, 'They fell into a pit. Can you save them on your own?"
Charmine paused at that.
Thinking of how Maurice and her fell into the pit the other day, just one person could not save them both.
It would be futile if she went to save Dior on her own, yes.
Having Anthony around would give her a helping hand, but he had to get his wound treated soon.
No matter what, even if she hated him so much that she wanted him dead, she would not want him to die because of her.
Charmine still refused Anthony's insistence. "I'll know what to do. You don’t have to worry."
She did not even wait for Anthony's reply before she marched up the mountain quickly.
However, after taking a few steps, she heard a voice behind her, stopping her in her tracks as she looked back.
She saw Anthony following behind her, with no intention of leaving.
Looking at his pale face, Charmine got angry. "Can you head down? Stop following me!"
Hearing her snapping at him, Anthony could not tell if it was just his imagination, but it sounded like she still cared for him despite the roughness in her tone.
Was she worried about his wound and not wanting to be hurt? Was that why she wanted him to descend the mountain?
Anthony looked at her and said, "I'm fine. If you're worried about me, you can use the needle to stop the poison from spreading. I'll be fine." "What makes you think I'm worried about you?" replied Charmine
instinctively. "I just don’t want you to die. Momo will get upset if you do."
Anthony decided not to expose Charmine for it and nodded gently instead.
"It's okay, just use a needle on me."
He instantly removed his jacket.
Charmine hesitated for a moment before she took out a needle and walked upto Anthony.
If he insisted on going with her, she was not bothered to argue her point and waste her time.
Dior must be panicking on the other end, too.
The needle could stop the poison from spreading throughout Anthony's body, stopping its flow effectively.
Anthony removed his white shirt, revealing his muscular back and two fang marks on his shoulders, blood oozing from them. They were stained with blood and were swollen, too.
The poison had spread a few centimeters, evident by how the skin around the wound looked bruise-like black.
Charmine felt a pang in her chest. She felt her heart at her throat as she gazed at Anthony’s back.
She narrowed her eyes and pricked Anthony's skin with the needle.
