Chapter 1592
The toxin had long been inside her body, but it just suddenly appeared.
That was because Anthony had taken a shower with her last night. He was such a shrewd man, and his gaze had scanned every inch of her body, so it was impossible for him not to see such obvious black marks.
A layer of skin on the surface of the ulcer was still intact, which meant she had not infected others.
Once her skin tore, the fluid on top would easily infect the other parts of her body. It would simply be unpreventable.
Anne was frightened. It was fortunate that it was noticed in time. Otherwise, she would have infected Anthony and the triplets.
That was absolutely unacceptable!
Also, she would not be able to hide such a matter from Anthony.
If she did not let Anthony touch her, he certainly would suspect something. By then, the situation would only be worse.
However, how exactly did she get infected?
Anne turned on her heel and headed toward Anthony's office. She even forgot to knock because she was in such a hurry.
When she entered, she interrupted the high-ranking executive's conversation with Anthony.
"I'm sorry. Please go on..." She was just about to turn and leave.
"Anne," Anthony called out to her. He handed the documents in his hands to the executive and signaled him to leave.
The executive accepted the documents and nodded to Anne lightly before he left the office.
After the door was closed behind him, Anne turned around and saw that Anthony was walking closer and closer toward her. She could not help but retreat and stop him. "Just stand there. Don't come closer."
Anthony stopped in his tracks. His brows were slightly furrowed. "You look very unwell."
"I've been infected/ Anne told him directly.
There was no need for her to be any clearer. Anthony already understood it. He immediately looked stunned.
Anne saw his reaction, and she did her best to keep calm. "I can't stay with you guys anymore. I'll stay at my own mansion. It's safer to be with Lucia. I'll go to the hospital and look for Kathryn now."
"Take off your clothes."
"What?" After Anne figured out what he was talking about, she said, "I saw two spots on my arm, but the other parts of my body are clear. The skin is still intact, so it's not at the stage where it can infect others...Ah!"
Before she finished her sentence, Anthony grabbed her arm.
Anne was so shocked that her body stiffened. "Don't touch me. I'll infect you. Anthony..."
"Don't move.” Anthony's grip was very strong, so Anne could not break free at all.
Then, she was thrown on the couch.
"Anthony, let go of me! This is very dangerous!" Anne tried to stop Anthony.
It was indeed dangerous!
Her skin would break at any time!
However, as if he was deaf, Anthony was simply focused on stripping Anne's clothes. Her top, pants, and underwear, included, were completely stripped off her body.
At first, she felt uneasy because she had been infected. At that moment, however, she also felt embarrassed on top of that.
That was especially when Anthony checked every inch of her body and went through every corner back and forth.
Anthony's gaze was even more intense than the sunlight during the day.
"Anthony..." Anne bit her lips. Her eyes kept darting around. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
After Anthony checked her body once, he realized that there were only two spots on her arm. However, his expression was still so solemn and cold that it looked terrifying.
Without saying anything, he put the clothes on for Anne again. "We'll go to the hospital."
"Anthony, don't touch me anymore. I'll take care of it myself."
"Aren't you mine?" Anthony's dark gaze was piercing straight into her eyes.
Anne's words were stuck in her throat because of that question.
Anthony closed in on her, kissed her on her lips, and said in a deep and hoarse voice, "You know how domineering I am.”
