Chapter 1315
The taxi stopped at the private hospital.
After Anthea got off the car, she rushed into the hospital.
She ran directly into the emergency room, almost out of breath. When she finally saw Adam, who was sitting in a chair in the consulting room, she finally felt relieved, because he seemed to be fine.
Carter's tone in the phone call was very exaggerating as he said that Adam had gone to the emergency room. Anthea was so frightened that she immediately went back!
At this time, Adam was sitting on the chair. His military uniform still looked very decent, and his handsome face showed no sign of illness. Carter was sitting on a chair next to him, crossing his legs and holding a bag of potato chips.
Mila, who was on duty, was also there.
Mila saw Anthea with her sharp eyes. "Director Lee is coming!"
Anthea quickly stepped forward and said, "Adam, what's wrong with you?"
Carter put down the bag of potato chips and saluted to Anthea, "Captain Chin was bitten by a dog!"
Anthea was speechless.
She sat down beside Adam. "Did you come to the emergency room after being bitten by the dog?"
"Of course!" Carter nodded solemnly. "It's very serious to be bitten by a dog. If Captain Chin doesn't receive an injection of rabies vaccine in time, he might easily fall victim to rabies. I used to be beaten by a dog when I was still a kid, and therefore I'm particularly experienced in such things!"
Anthea held up Adam's left hand.
The dog bit his index finger.
It was indeed "very serious" that she couldn't see the two tiny teeth marks without looking "very carefully".
Her pet, Boba, was just a baby dog, and its teeth were not sharp at all. When she encouraged Boba to gnaw the tooth stick, she often put her fingers inside its jar... And there was nothing wrong with it. Anthea asked, "Have you had the injection of rabies vaccine?"
"Yes." Adam nodded with slanted eyes. He then asked seemingly inadvertently, "I heard that you had dinner with Mr. Eric Chafee?"
"I heard?"... "Who told you?"...
Anthea narrowed her eyes.
Looking to the right, she suddenly raised her hand
and pinched Mila's face.
Sure enough, Mila was the "little spy"!
Mila scratched her head and smiled guiltily. "Director Lee, don't be angry! I actually thought that you and Mr. Chin were a good match. It would be a pity for you to break up, and I wanted to secretly help you..." Anthea immediately realized that Mila might have helped Adam a lot before.
She once again glanced at Adam's index finger, which was bitten by the dog, and the corners of her mouth twitched twice. Then, she answered, "Yes! Eric and I just sat down, and the dishes haven't been served yet!"
At this point, Anthea stood up involuntarily.
She originally planned to have lunch with Eric and at the same time explained to him what had happened. But Adam's incident of being bitten by a dog interrupted her plan. She just ran out in a hurry without explaining anything to Eric.
Anthea took out her mobile phone and called Eric. "Hello... Sorry, Eric... Are you still in the restaurant? Okay, I'll go back now. Wait for me!"
After the call, she turned around and saw that Adam was looking at her with a serious look.
He frowned and said, "You still want to go?" "Of course!" Anthea blinked her eyes. Before Adam could darken his face, she held his shoulder and said, "I was going to tell Eric that there is no need for him to waste his time and energy on me. Who knows that before I said anything, someone else was bitten by a dog and was sent to the emergency room!"
Adam didn't know what to say."..."
Anthea pursed her lips and tried to hold back her laughter for a while.
She then leaned over and whispered in his ear. Adam's thick eyebrows suddenly rose high.
Anthea grabbed his big hand and said, "Let's go. You can drive me there!"
"Okay." Adam smiled.
Seeing the two of them walking away hand in hand, Carter wiped away the debris of potato chips on his face.
"Tsk... tsk!"
The long-lost scenario of two lovers abusing a single dog was back!
After returning to the restaurant, Anthea saw that Eric was still sitting in his original position.
After Anthea sat down again, she tilted her head and looked out of the window.
The green military jeep was parked on the roadside.
It could be seen clearly that Adam was sitting inside it. His deep and black eyes were staring at her without a blink.
In fact, she did not whisper to him about anything in the hospital. She just told him that she had not actually been in a lovers' relationship with Eric.
Thinking of Adam's happy and proud response, Anthea slightly curled her lips up.
Eric called out to her. "Anthea?"
Anthea came back to her senses and sat up straight. "I'm sorry! There's something urgent just now!"
"It doesn't matter. Have you finished all the things?" Eric still behaved very gentlemanly.
Not long ago, Anthea suddenly answered a phone call and went back to the hospital in a hurry, leaving Eric alone. He originally wanted to leave, but as the waiter had brought the dishes to the table, it would be a waste not to eat them.
Eric originally thought that Anthea might have some urgent matters to deal with, such as having an operation. Unexpectedly, Anthea returned after some time.
"All done!" Anthea felt a little guilty. She added seriously, "Eric, I didn't finish what I said before... I want to apologize to you again. We may not be suitable as lovers. I hope you can meet a better girl!" "So it is!" Eric gave a disappointed smile. "When you said I was a good person, I already had a bad feeling about it! Usually, when a woman wants to reject a man, she would say so! Anthea, why are you dissatisfied with me?"
Anthea shook her head and said sincerely, "No... No! Eric, you are not only a good person, but also are excellent in other aspects. It is just because of my own fault. I can't accept you as my boyfriend! I have always loved someone, and we became reunited recently!"
She didn't hide anything indeed.
Hearing that, Eric understood immediately.
He suddenly thought of that Mr. Chin he met when he went to the golf course.
At that time, he felt a sort of indirect threat from this man. He also felt that there must be something wrong between them, although he could not say what exactly it was...
After the discussion, the lunch was over. Anthea insisted on paying the bill and said goodbye to Eric at the entrance of the restaurant.
She walked to the roadside and didn't see the jeep that had been parked there.
However, in less than a minute, Anthea saw that
Adam was driving the jeep toward her from another direction. She opened the door of the passenger seat and got into the jeep. As she smelled a fragrant scent, Anthea subconsciously turned back, and then she was stunned.
In the back seat, there was a large bunch of white roses.
The white petals spread out layer by layer, sending forth a delicate fragrance. The roses were enchantingly beautiful and blooming.
Adam said, "Anthea, I think white roses are more suitable for you."
Anthea was speechless."..."
The jeep drove back to the family building area of the military region.
When they entered the house, the smoke exhaust ventilator in the kitchen was still buzzing.
Anthea looked inside the kitchen and saw that there was a pot on the stove, while some half-sliced beef and vegetables were on the chopping board next to the stove. It seemed that as soon as Adam received the message from Mila, he immediately went out of the kitchen!
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Boba cleverly walked over.
Anthea bent over and touched its little head, pretending to be scolding it. "Boba, you don't need to bite others in the future, okay?"
Adam coughed awkwardly and walked past behind her to continue cooking in the kitchen.
The moon was bright, and the stars were sparse. The bedroom was full of the unique fragrance of white roses.
Anthea was laying on the big bed with Boba in her arms.
The splashing sound of water in the bathroom receded, and Adam came out of the bathroom with a towel on his body.
Seeing that Boba was nestling in Anthea's arms, and its little head happened to be stuck on her right chest, Adam frowned slightly. "We are going to sleep now. Put it down."
Anthea said, "It's okay! When I was living in the dormitory, Boba often slept with me!"
"No." Adam said in a low voice.
"Why is that?"
"It's a male dog."
Anthea was petrified."..."
Anthea held her forehead with her hand and reminded him, "Adam, you gave Boba to me as a gift!"
The corners of Adam's eyes twitched. He was extremely remorseful now. He thought he should have given her a female dog as a gift!
Anthea raised her little hand and caressed Boba.
She rubbed its hair, which seemed to make the dog feel very comfortable. It began to nap.
Suddenly, Anthea felt there was nothing left in her arms.
Adam had taken away Boba out of her arms, and the dog woke up with a start. Its four claws fluttered in the air.
Anthea didn't know what to do next...
In the past, Adam used to be jealous of a man or even a little boy. Now, he was jealous of a male dog!
Looking at the poor Boba that had been thrown onto the ground near the window, as well as the white roses on the windowsill...
Anthea felt that Adam was still as naive as his nickname suggested: Third-year-old Adam.
However...
"That's great!" She thought.
