ENCHANTED LOVE - Season 7 Episode 94

“No, thanks,” Sue refused with a smile. Supporting herself against the wall, she turned to Anthony. “Anthony, I intervened in your relationship with Sheryl even though I know that I don’t have the right to meddle in your affair. Thus, I brought myself into this mess. I don’t deserve your sympathy.”

She wouldn’t want to be tricked by Anthony anymore.

So, she forced a smile and looked at Anthony helplessly. “Please leave. I can take care of myself.”

“Sue…” Anthony was speechless. He tried his best to accompany Sue to her apartment despite her strong objection. When they reached the door, he urged Sue to open it.

Although Sue couldn’t figure out Anthony’s real intention, she still acceded to his demand.

Besides, her foot was already hurting excruciatingly.

When she entered her apartment, she advised Anthony to take his leave.

However, Anthony insisted to stay. He wanted to treat Sue’s injured foot so he went to the kitchen to look for an ice pack.

“Anthony… you…” Sue could not figure out what was on Anthony’s mind.

Meanwhile, Sue sat on the couch and removed her shoes. When she checked her foot, she saw that it was already swollen like a steamed bun. It would probably take ten to fifteen days of convalescence. She was anxious because Charles’ company would be sponsoring a fashion show a month later and she would be participating in it.

In the kitchen, Anthony rummaged the fridge but found nothing useful except for a well-packed frozen pettitoes. Since he didn’t have any choice, Anthony decided to use it for a cold compress. He went back to Sue and motioned her to put it on top of the swollen ankle. He thought he would apply some medicine after the cold compress.

But Sue dismissed Anthony’s kindness roughly.

Anthony didn’t mind her attitude. He immediately crouched and applied cold compresses to her swollen ankle despite her rejection. After a while, Sue felt a little relieved from the pain.

Seeing that Sue felt a lot better, Anthony took her key and hastened to buy some medicine.

When he came back, he was loaded with small and big packages. He bought different kinds of medicines for Sue’s swollen ankle. He checked her ankle and sighed in relief when he saw that it was gradually getting smaller.

Anthony set the pettitoes aside and handed a bottle of medicine to Sue. He also reminded her to use it regularly until the swelling disappeared.

“I know what to do,” Sue replied firmly. She didn’t want to feel Anthony’s pity on her. It hurt her even more.

“Anthony, there is really no need for you to take care of me. I feel better now. You can already take a leave.” Sue was determined to distance herself from Anthony.

“Sue, I know you are mad at me,” Anthony said sadly. He glanced at Sue first before he continued, “Instead of me, it was Charles who helped you during your injury. But believe me, I really wanted to help you earlier. It just happened that Charles reacted quicker than me.”

“Really?” Sue planted a false smile on her face. She didn’t care about Anthony’s explanation that much. She just wanted him to leave her house immediately. This time, Sue was determined to break up with Anthony.

She wanted to avoid any more troubles and pains.

“I must stay here to take care of you until your completely recover,” Anthony insisted. Anthony wanted to do this to mitigate his guilt.

“You are talking nonsense!” Sue immediately refused to grant Anthony’s request. ‘If I allowed Anthony to stay with me, we would definitely be the talk of the town. People would start gossiping about us,’ Sue thought to herself.

She couldn’t afford to live in shame.

“Why not?” Anthony looked dubious. Anthony had already stayed overnight at Sue’s apartment for a few times so he couldn’t understand Sue’s refusal this time.

Sue didn’t say a word but remained adamant.

Keeping Anthony in her apartment would cause her inconvenience after all.

At last, Sue glanced at Anthony and said coolly, “It’s inappropriate for you to stay here.”

“I am not asking for your permission,” Anthony said with great composure. “I am telling you my decision.”

“You…” Sue knew Anthony would not listen anymore.

So she took her cellphone and threatened him that she would call the police if he didn’t leave quickly.

However, Anthony just ignored her. He intended to do something for Sue. He wanted to make up for his misconduct. Realizing the futility of her threat, Sue put her cellphone down.

She then turned to Anthony and spoke in a helpless manner, “I promised you that I will never interfere with your relationship with Sheryl anymore. Now, please leave me alone!”

Sue was aware that Anthony’s kindness was not bound by pure love.

“I harbor no evil against you,” Anthony said truthfully. He felt awfully sorry to Sue. So, he iterated his willingness to take good care of her.

“Anthony, spare me your guilty conscience!” She smiled at him coldly and said, “You don’t need to be guilty. I am not blaming you for anything. So now, please take your leave.”

What Sue desired the most was Anthony’s pure love, not his guilty conscience.

Anthony felt embarrassed but persisted in his decision.

“You can rest assured that I will only stay here for a short while.” Anthony promised Sue that he would take his leave upon her complete recovery. For now, he would serve her like a housekeeper.
