Chapter 1329
Lying down made Anthony feel depressed. Even if he just went downstairs, he was full of expectation. In the courtyard, looking at the long-lost blue sky and white clouds and feeling the bleak cold wind, he became calmer.
The nurse was very dutiful. She covered his legs with a thick blanket and pushed him twice around the backyard. Except for the winter green, almost everything was a desolate color, but looking at the different figures walking around in the yard, one could feel the love.
Just as they walked to a tree on one side, a ball suddenly rolled over. It brushed past the nurse's feet and rolled to the other side. Then, a bald little boy ran over.
"Ball, ball, my ball!"
Behind her was a woman with all kinds of bags hanging all over her body. She said, "Don't, don't run away! Mommy will pick it up for you. Easton-"
Looking back, the nurse suddenly put her hands on her hips and said, "Easton, you are disobedient again. Stop!"
With a loud shout, the little boy began to pant, but then he slowed down. "Miss Agnes-"
"Well, be good! I'll pick up the ball for you. Stay here and wait for your mom! Otherwise, I'll poke a needle inside you!"
"Miss, I also want to pick it up! That's the birthday gift Daddy bought for me, my favorite ball!"
Turning around to look at Anthony, the nurse braked the handles of the wheelchair. As soon as she opened her mouth, Anthony spoke first. "You can go ahead. I'll just stay here and enjoy the scenery!"
"Okay! Thank you. Wait for me. It'll be quick!"
Seeing the little boy's eager eyes, the woman also rushed over. The little nurse waved to him and said, "Come here, I will take you to pick it up!" "Nurse, I'm sorry to trouble you again! Thank you!"
"You're welcome. It's what I should do! Mrs. Andrews, you don't look well. You should take a rest. Don't be too tired..."
The three of them walked to the other side as they spoke.
Looking in the distance quietly, Anthony also enjoyed the rays of sunset for a moment. When he just closed his eyes, a low male voice sounded in his
ear,
"The miraculous Cupid's Love Bracelet, Carlisle's life-long work. Would you like to see it, sir?"
He abruptly opened his eyes and turned around. Behind him, an old man dressed in a simple robe and dragging a leg walked over. He was carrying a bag with an old mark on his arm, and in his hand was an exquisite royal-blue brocade box.
After a quick glance, Anthony waved his hand in refusal!
"Sir, judging from your temperament, you must be extraordinary. This Cupid's Love Bracelet was made by Carlisle, an artist from Itawa. You must have heard of him! This bracelet is my most prized auction piece! The reason why it was famous was because this bracelet was limited to 99 pieces. It was given to his beloved ones, just like Cupid's arrow. As long as you wear it, love will bestow you and many beautiful things will follow. This bracelet is also called the 'Eternal Love' bracelet. The rose gold and gemstone were made at the original price of no more than 10,000 dollars. But because the forty-five bracelets sold turned into 38 happy marriages, it became famous. It had a magical magic power to make lovers happy, reunite and start anew to remake and achieve full love. Sir, as long as you carve a name and give the bracelet, you may get a wonderful love. Do you want to have a look?"
Opening the box, the man once again handed it to Anthony and tried to lobby him.
As soon as he looked down, he saw that the bracelets were quite delicate and exquisite. Two heart-shaped gems were carved into a circle by a delicate wire. The pendant below was also meaningful. It was a little dollshaped pendant. It seemed to be engraved with the brand's logo. Anthony also understood, it was the crystal of love.
The design of this bracelet was really ingenious, simple yet profound.
He looked at it. It did not look as cheap as he had imagined. He was rather tempted, but he still did not say anything.
"This bracelet is a set of twelve, representing the twelve constellations. I bought the whole set. Originally, I gave myself six years. I wanted to use it to pursue my beloved one, but I only used two. In one year, I successfully stepped into a loving marriage. On the first anniversary, I gave one more. I originally thought I would have to give one every year. We loved each other so much, and my wife said that life was too long and 12 bracelets were not enough. She asked me to give one of them every 5 years, which was just enough for my whole life. Unfortunately, my happiness was cut short. In less than five years, my wife got seriously ill. She said that she had no regrets in her life, but unfortunately, she could not live with me for such a long time. Alas, she was taken too soon! My wife is gone, so I gave the ten unused bracelets to someone else! I often thought that because I was too greedy that year, I was punished by Cupid. My happy time with my wife became so short!"
His faraway gaze disappeared into the distance. The man's face was filled with the sorrow of the vicissitudes of life. It didn't seem like it was fake at all.
With a heavy sigh, the man continued,
"Where there is love and home, there is a meaning in life. I have no wife and no children, my life is really lonely and sad! Except for her, I can't accept anyone else. Cupid won't shoot his arrow at me anymore! Young man, you must cherish the time with your lover. In this life, maybe you will not be able to touch a second person, you will only do your best to love once! Be careful when you can choose. Don't wait until you are as old as I am to regret it!"
Putting it away, the man did not force him to buy it. He shouted and walked forward.
"Cupid's Love Bracelet is selling only to the destined one. 99,999 dollars. Not a penny more, not a penny less..."
Thinking for a while, Anthony reached out subconsciously, but he didn't raise his head and shook his head. "What's wrong with him? Does he even believe this?"
Soon, the nurse held the little boy's hand and walked back to the little boy's mother while talking. The atmosphere was wonderful. "You should be obedient and listen to your mother, okay?"
She patted the boy's head. After bidding the boy goodbye, she returned to Anthony's side. "Mr. Clements, it's getting dark soon. I'll push you back!" "Yes, thank you."
The nurse was lively and charming, which made people feel comfortable. Moreover, she was kind and chatty. As they walked, the two of them chatted casually.
"Are you familiar with that child?"
"Yes, I met him several times when I took care of him as a substitute. Alas, he is very pitiful.
A malignant tumor was found at the
age of six. He is very lively and sensible. I hope God will treat him well so that he can get better soon. His mother is only in her early thirties, but she looks like she's in her forties. It is really difficult for a woman to carry a sick child with her."
"I heard that her husband used to be greedy for her beauty and pestered her to death. As a result, he only had a few years to play with her and then ignored her. Now that the child is ill, he treats her like a jinx! They y used be so enviable, but now... they are all messed up!"

"But after all, he didn't go against his conscience and gave her some money more or less. The two of them just dragged on like this. I don't know if they are married or not. Eh, if a woman can't meet a man who really loves her, what's the use of having a good life in the past?"
Along the way, the nurse was mostly talking to herself. Anthony occasionally responded with a few words, but he was full of emotions.
Back in the ward, the nurse suddenly came to her senses and patted her mouth in annoyance.
"Mr. Clements, don't mind me. My mouth can't be zipped! Life is too tiring and stressful. If I don't ramble on about the gossip, I won't be able to live. Just take it as a gust of wind that comes and goes. If I'm bothering you, you must let me know. Don't complain to me-"
Rambling on, the nurse was still looking pitiable.
Anthony smiled faintly and said, "No, Agnes, you are very dutiful. Thank you!"
"Then I'll go and do my work. Have a good rest! Call me if you need anything!" She helped him to the bed and told him some things. After checking the time, Agnes left.
After a small interlude, although Anthony didn't buy the Cupid's love bracelet, strangely, he kept it in mind for a few days.
Soon it was the day to remove the stitches. After that was done, he did a body check again. When he came back, he saw several nurses talking at the door.
"Are you kidding me? Is that Cupid's Love bracelet really so effective?"
"Of course it is! The proud Nerissa has said yes. Haven't you heard? The group chat has blown up-"
"Where did it come from? Is it useful to give it to a man? I also want one!"
"It should be! I heard that the design is very magnificent. Men should wear it with more coarse chains. But it seems to be very expensive. More than 90,000 dollars! We can only listen to stories. It's better to use this money to buy a house than to have it!"
"What's the use of buying a house? Won't it be better to give it to a billionaire as a present?"
"Haha! You can give it, but will they accept it? Do you really think that you will get whoever's name is carved on it? But the rich people in the VIP area are all asking about it!"
Back in the ward, Anthony's heart
was more uneasy. As soon as he saw the nurses who were gossiping,
he asked eagerly, "Do you know what bracelet they are talking about?" "Yes, I do! It was news in the morning! One of the patients who used to stay here is called Bob or something, he is a little ugly but rich. He is a super fan of the online celebrity Nerissa. It seems that he has not made any progress in chasing her for a few years. I heard that he gave her a Cupid's Love Bracelet and the two of them really became engaged. So everyone thinks that it's amazing. Do you know Nerissa? She's super beautiful! It's really like beauty and the beast. The man, he usually likes to brag. I don't have a good impression..."
In an instant, Anthony's heart was stirred up. He didn't listen to what she said later.
At this time, Victoria's studio received a mysterious delivery gift. When she opened it, there was a beautiful red and sapphire bracelet in exquisite
packaging...
