chapter 1675
Harry would not forgive Anthony, even if he saved him this time.
Outside the pit...
Anthony was focused on keeping balance, so much so that he accidentally held Charmine's hands.
Charmine jolted at the contact, but none of them let go as they were pulling up the stretcher.
His powerful hands held onto her fair hands tightly, and she felt like...a feather.
She felt so gentle and light, and she did not know how to fall.
Feeling the softness in his hands, Anthony's heartstrings were tugged as his entire heart skipped a beat.
The two of them spontaneously exchanged glances, but the moment she met Anthony’s gaze, Charmine looked away as if nothing happened. They continued to pull the rope up.
Anthony said nothing, too. He mustered every bit of his strength and made sure Charmine did not overexert herself
It did not take long before the stretcher was lifted from the pit.
Dior was like a weak little girl, cuddled in Harry’s arms, much to Charmine's bewilderment.
Since when was Dior so weak?
When Dior came back up and saw Charmine, she felt as if she was home. "I was so close to dying, Charmine...!" she whimpered, almost crying. "Waa...!"
Charmine glanced at her coldly and had to play along. "Don’t worry," she assured her, "you're fine now."
She reached out to help Dior get up from the stretcher.
Before Dior could hug Charmine, Dior turned around to help Harry get up. Following that, she hooked her hands around his neck and excitedly chirped, "We survived... We're safe!"
Harry's response, however, came in a silent, cold stare as he pulled her hands off of him, which earned a pout from Dior.
Harry then looked up at Anthony darkly, to which Anthony kept his stare.
There was a strong exchange of hatred between their eyes.
Charmine noticed the hatred but seemed unconcerned about it. Instead, she looked at Dior's bloodied shoulder and exclaimed, 'This looks so bad!"
Dior took a glance and said, "This is nothing. He’s in even more pain."
Charmine was speechless but nonetheless walked to support Dior.
Dior turned to look at Harry, who was unable to move on the spot. She turned to Anthony and said, "President Bailey, do you mind helping Harry? Thank you."
Anthony glanced at Harry coldly and walked toward him, saying, "You're Charmine’s friends, so that makes you my friends in return. I should be helping." This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
That baffled Charmine. Since when was she associated with him?
She wordlessly looked at Anthony before she continued to assist Dior.
Anthony then walked up to Harry, his lips twisting into an ironic smirk when he did. "I don’t know what to say, Mr. Cogen. You went up the mountain to see the stars and ended up breaking your leg."
Harry's expression seemed dark, but he nonetheless allowed Anthony to prop him up, though not without sneering at him. "If you want to pull something, now's your time to shine." "Don't worry, I'm not petty. I won't do anything when you're in such a feeble state."
Harry's condition rendered him pale, suffering so much that he broke out into cold sweat, unable to muster proper sentences.
With that, all four of them descended the mountain, pair by pair, one at the back and the other walking ahead. With much difficulty, they finally made it down and arrived home.
At that point, Anthony already had a fever, and his condition only worsened due to the cobra's poisonous bite.
Of course, Luke had called for a doctor from the city to treat him.
Charmine wanted to watch over Dior, but Chris was worried about Anthony, and he wanted to check on him.
He even pulled her and pestered, "Mommy, Mommy! Go and check up on Daddy! Daddy is severely injured! He's dying!" 1 Charmine, left without a choice, went with Chris.
