Chapter 1556

Charmine blurted, “Mo, why are you here?” “I moved here,” responded Maurice. He then quickly explained as he did not want her to misunderstand, “Don’t get me wrong, Gem. I’ve actually paid the down-payment here a long time ago.” Charmine laughed. “Don’t worry.” There were so many villas here. She could not deny anyone from moving in around her. Maurice said gently, “I’m just worried you’d misunderstand me. Don’t worry, I don’t have any ill-intention.” “Don’t worry.” Charmine held the bouquet close to her as she then offered, “Would you like to come in?” Maurice, however, declined, “No need. I’ll have to get back to the set after moving in.” “Alright, then.” Charmine then noticed both Maurice and Sofia moving in his belongings, thus she went in to place the bouquet before heading out to help the duo. Maurice treated her so well, and she could not keep being indebted to him. She moved to pick up his box before Maurice took it from her. “No need to worry, Gem, we can manage. You’re still injured, so don’t lift things around.” Charmine said, “Do I look so weak to you? You’ve helped me too many times, and I need to return the favor.” Maurice was helpless and looked at Sofia. Sofia handed the plant to Charmine. “Help with this, then, Ms. Jordan.” It just so happened to be lavender. Charmine was more certain that it was Maurice who placed the bouquet of lavender in front of her villa. However, what Sofia was thinking was that she did not want Maurice to get tired. They did have to return to the set and film before he could rest, after all. Somehow, he just could not sleep last night. He was not eating or drinking much. If he did not rest and this prolonged, his body would be at risk! Charmine did not insist. “Okay.” Maurice was more reassured and allowed her to move smaller items while he moved the larger boxes. Sofia frowned. “Maurice, let me have that.” Maurice looked at her and said, “Don’t worry, I got it. You and Gem will move the smaller items.” Sofia was worried but helpless. Then... Maurice, lifting a box that weighed at least ten kilograms, had just entered the villa when... Crash! He felt listless, and his head was dizzy. The things in his hands fell all over the floor. He felt as if his entire world was spinning. He shook his head, trying to clear his vision, but as he then bent to pick up everything that had fallen, his head buzzed. He lost control and fell onto the floor. The alarmed Sofia rushed toward him. “Maurice!” Worry was etched onto her face as she gazed at him, and it looked like she wanted to cry. “Maurice? Maurice?! Wake up!” However, Maurice did not react. Charmine frowned and lifted his arm, trying to listen to his pulse. After a while, she reassured Sofia, “Don’t worry, he’s just weak and passed out. Don’t worry.” “Okay.” Still, Sofia was worried. She saw how he stayed up the night, and she had seen this coming. The two of them carried Maurice to the sofa when Charmine asked, “Why would Mo faint out of the blue?” Sofia looked at the man on the sofa worriedly and said, “Maurice had anorexia from a young age. He never had any appetite, and he only ever ate more when he was with you. This had worsened over the years, and he even stayed up last night, all night.” Sofia was so anxious that she wanted to cry. She looked for the glucose and injected it into him. Charmine frowned and thought of how little he ate. The thought of it still startled her. So...he did have anorexia. Suddenly, she recalled the noodles she made including the pasta she mixed for him. He ate them all. After Sofia injected the glucose solution into him, she looked at Charmine sincerely. “I’m sorry to ask you this, Ms. Jordan, but may I ask for a favor? Can you make some food for Maurice to eat?”
