Chapter 490

Nigel's phone rang and he went outside to answer it after glancing at the screen of his phone. Anne could guess who was calling.

It was already late at night and his family must be wondering where he was since he had not gone home.

Nigel had his own family and he could not stay with Anne forever, but she was fine with it. Despite feeling insecure, she could still stay with Sarah.

Shortly after, Nigel returned. "I will go get some food. Anything you want?"

"I don't have any appetite..." Anne did not feel hungry at all.

"No way. You have to eat. Your mom would be worried.” Nigel would not allow her to starve herself. Anne nodded. "Dad, when are you going back? I can stay here with Mom. Well be fine.”

"I've already told my family that I will be staying in Santa Nila for a few days. B

"Is that really okay??” Anne desperately wanted her father to stay, but did not want him to be placed in a difficult situation.

"Your mom is in a critical condition. They will understand,” he said, before heading out to buy food. Anne stood still, wondering if Bianca and Dorothy would truly understand. It was clear that Nigel was not telling the truth. She knew Bianca and Dorothy all too well and they would be thrilled to learn that Sarah was dying, they could not possibly allow Nigel to take care of his former lover.

It would already be considered surprising if they were not actively stopping him.

Suddenly, the phone inside her purse started ringing. She had thought that it was from Anthony, as she did not think he would allow her to escape out of his control, after all.

However, she realized that it was an unknown number when she finally had her phone.

She hesitated, and ended the call without answering. 1

The person continued to call and Anne proceeded to reject all three calls until the person finally stopped.

She sent Anthony a message. [I'm in Santa Nila. She's unconscious right now, so I'm not going anywhere.”

Three seconds after the message was sent, Anthony called.

She answered and heard Anthony's deep, husky voice coming from the phone. "Next time, call if you have something to say. Do you think I'm free to keep an eye for texts?"

Anne pursed her lips. "Alright. I just want to talk to you about this. My mom is in a critical condition and three days might not be enough...”

"Should I get you to come back now?"

"Anthony, there's no one by my mom's side. As her daughter, I can't possibly go back to Luton!" She pleaded, "My dad is here as well, but he can't be here forever, or Bianca would be upset.”

Anthony did not respond

'lt won't take much longer. My mom is going to wake up soon! Okay? Please. I will call you everyday to update you, okay?"

"Is this...an act, just a fake car accident to get away from me?"

"What?" Anne could not believe that he would suspect such a thing. If you don't believe me, send someone here to keep an eye on me. Your mom is literally laying on the bed right now!"

"Don't try to fool me." 1

“I won't. I am grateful that you let me come here," she said sincerely.

She did not relax until Anthony finally hung up, knowing that he had given her the permission to stay.

After hanging up, she received a message to her phone from the same unknown number from earlier.

lls your mom dead yet? Should I be attending the funeral? I wonder what I should get her..some flowers? Grave goods? Maybe both. Some male dolls maybe, since she likes men so much.]
