Annabel Smith!
Anthony's gaze faltered, losing its glimmer of joy.
How did Annabel disappear into thin air...and suddenly reappear, right at a very crucial point in his life?
Charmine, on the other hand, seemed divided.
After months of searching for Annabel, she was finally back!
Charmine held Anthony's hand, and they both walked toward Annabel.
Meanwhile, in front of the garden, the security was trying to ask Annabel to leave. "Go away! You're not allowed to come to such an extravagant place like this!"
Annabel looked at the security weakly, biting her lip. Just as she was about to say something, however, she spotted two people walking toward her. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
Anthony was dressed in his tightly fitted Amari suit, looking sophisticated.
It was as if Annabel had found her savior. Her eyes sparkled as she lowly uttered, "President Bailey..."
Anthony frowned, his hand still on Charmine's as they walked to the entrance. He looked at her solemnly, and his lips parted to say, "Where have you been in the past three months?"
Annabel bit her lip. Tears pooled in her eyes as she recalled her sunless days. "Three months ago, after I fell asleep in the hospital, I woke up and found myself in an underground basement. I don't know anything, and all I know is that someone sent me food every day. Yesterday, after I ate, I lost my senses. When I woke up, I was out of the city and didn’t see anyone..."
Annabel began to tremble as she spoke as though terrified by something that happened from that period.
Anthony and Charmine frowned.
In other words, even Annabel did not know who kidnapped her.
It seemed that there was no clue on this matter.
Annabel said, "I happened to hear that you're both here, so I came..."
With that said, she looked at Anthony carefully and quickly explained," President Bailey, I know I shouldn't be here, and I didn't mean to find you at this moment, but..."
Annabel caressed her slightly swollen tummy and muttered, "My tummy aches from time to time. I don't have anywhere to turn to, and I have to seek help from you both."
Anthony pursed his lips and looked at Charmine, worried.
Charmine looked at her with her clear eyes, expression thoroughly calm as her beautiful red lips curved into a smile. "Does it still hurt now?" 'Yes." Annabel looked at her, and guilt flashed past in her eyes. "Ms.
Jordan, I didn't mean to come back to Burlington to ruin your wedding. I'm just worried about the baby in my belly..." "Don't worry, I don't blame you."
Charmine's face was calm. It was apparent that she was not angry or jealous of this woman who had Anthony's baby.
She turned to look at Anthony. "Send her to be examined in a hospital." "Okay.” Anthony held Charmine's hand and looked at her darkly.
As if he was worried about her overthinking, he added, "Come with me, dear."
Charmine nodded.
Chris and Chloe saw Anthony and Charmine walking out, and both children ran toward both adults with hands still interlinked.
"Mommy, Daddy, where are you going?"
When Annabel saw the adorable Chris, she had a motherly look.
Her son...
How she longed to hug him, but she did not even have the right to talk to him.
Annabel bit her lip and acted as if she did not see him.
"Your Mommy's belly is hurting," answered Charmine, "so we're bringing her to the hospital." "Oh." Chris acted as if he did not see Annabel. He held Chloe's hand and said to Charmine, "Mommy, Chloe and I will tag along. It's too boring here."
With that, the five of them went to the hospital.
When they arrived at the hospital, Chris and Chloe stayed with Annabel when Anthony and Charmine went to get her registered.
Chris looked at Annabel's slightly swollen belly darkly, and he clenched his tiny fists.
Although he wanted a sister, he did not want one that was not from his Daddy and Mommy.
Furthermore...
