"It doesn’t hurt," replied Annabel kindly. "This is nothing serious."
Grandma Bailey felt aggrieved as she looked at Annabel. "Silly girl, you actually knelt all the way from the gate to the church... If it works, there wouldn't be any illness in the world."
Annabel had a determined look in her eyes. "As long as there's hope even in the slightest, even if it's one in a thousandth, I'll try it for Ms. Charmine. This is all that I can do for her. This is nothing compared to what she had done for me..."
Annabel looked troubled with guilt; it should have been her laying in that bed.
Anthony, on the other hand, paused upon hearing Annabel's words.
She...went to pray for Charmine? She knelt all the way from the gate to the church?
Anthony thought of how she had left at four in the morning, and his bloodshot eyes mellowed at this.
He glanced at her, and after a moment, he continued to look at Charmine.
When Grandma Bailey heard this, she was moved and touched.
She looked at Annabel lovingly and said, "Do take good care of yourself, at least for the baby's sake." Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Annabel reached out to caress her belly and nodded. "I will."
The days had passed, and Charmine still had yet to regain consciousness.
This was the fourth day that Anthony had not left Charmine’s side. He had not slept and had not eaten anything as well.
No matter how they all tried to talk him out, it was no use.
Annabel continued to stay in the hospital. She was guarding Charmine as well and helped to do the chores.
Time had passed, and it was the morning of the fifth day.
The Baileys came to visit once more. 1
Alas, Charmine was in the same state as she was on the first day. She laid in bed, pipes still attached to her. The data on the monitors were the same, but she... i
She still had not woken up.
Everyone felt terrible at this predicament.
Nial stood by the bed and said in a low voice, "If she doesn't wake up after today...she won't wake up for the rest of her life."
Anthony stood up and grabbed Nial’s collar. Since he had not rested for five days, his eyes were thoroughly red and daunting. "Then cure her, for goodness' sake! No matter what, I want her to wake up!"
She was fine! How could she be rendered to such a state? Nobody could accept this!
Nial's face was devoid of his usual cheery disposition and, instead, looked solemn and grim.
He allowed Anthony to grab him by his collar as he feebly pleaded, "Bro, don’t do this..."
If there was another way, he would have done it. He would not have to wait till today. 1
Anthony tossed him away and turned on the electric presser machine by the side. He went crazy as he pressed at Charmine's chest.
The moment that the presser was lifted off Charmine, her weak body was electrocuted. However, she fell straight back onto the bed.
"You'll be alright, dearest...!"
Anthony's eyes were watery as he kept pressing at Charmine's chest.
Nial quickly went forward to stop him. "Bro, it's no use. It's useless." "Go away!"
Anthony pushed him away and continued to press with the presser.
Comment by Bella C: presser?
When Grandma Bailey saw this and thought of how Charmine might never wake up, she finally could not hold back her emotions anymore.
Tears brimmed her weary gaze, and they eventually streamed down her face.
Charmine had a tough life, and it was not easy for her life to get better.
All that, and this happened to her instead.
Annabel felt even guiltier as she cried silently. Her palm-sized face was wet with tears, making her a pitiable sight.
She watched as Charmine was electrocuted. She felt so bad that her weak body wavered, and she almost fell backward.
Grandma Bailey quickly caught onto her and said in a hoarse voice...
