Chapter 1327
In the afternoon, in the private hospital.
A patient had just had a surgery, and was now being pushing out by a nurse, while Anthea and Mila in green surgical gowns followed behind.
Mila looked at the patient and sighed. "The patient is really tough! The tumor is right near her main blood vessel, and the risks of the surgery are already high enough. But in order for the child to be born healthily, she insisted on having the cesarean section first before the surgery!"
This operation was very special and was performed with the cooperation of the doctors of obstetrics and gynaecology.
"It should be said that every mother is great!" Anthea said.
Mother's love was the greatest in the world. Anthea used to almost be a mother, so she understood this feeling.
At this moment, she couldn't help thinking of the child she lost six years ago.
Although it had been a long time and Anthea had already gotten over it, she still felt sad every time she thought about it. Especially when she thought that she had no chance to be a mother again in this life.
"Yeah!" Mila nodded in agreement. "One of my mother's friends is already 50 years old. In March this year, she risked her life to give birth to another child, just because her husband really wanted another baby!"
"When she gave birth to the first child, she had already suffered greatly from the early delivery!"
"She has been seeking medical treatment everywhere for many years, and finally met an old doctor who helped her recuperate. Then she got pregnant last year! Later, she recommended this doctor to her friends. But I heard that this doctor has now already moved to another city!"
"Really?" Anthea was amazed.
"Yeah, I also felt unbelievable when I heard it! You know, infertility is not a disease that is easy to be cured!" After finishing speaking, Mila looked at her watch and hurriedly said, "Oh, director Lee, the patient in room 7 should be undergoing blood tests now. I'll go first!"
Anthea seemed to be a little absent-minded. She just nodded. "Okay!"
As she walked towards the office, she saw a green figure in the corridor.
She first thought that it was Adam, but he had told her that there would be a meeting in the military region, so it was impossible for him to appear here.
When she looked up, she was a little stunned.
The man walked toward her and saluted, "Miss Lee."
If Anthea remembered correctly, the soldier in front of her should be Bellamy's batman.
Similar scenes had occurred six years ago.
An hour later, in Chin's Mansion.
Anthea got out of the car and walked into the villa.
She had thought that Bellamy would meet her at the tea house like before. She never imagined that he would invite her home.
In the large living room, Bellamy and Meadow were both sitting on the sofa. There was a curling aroma of tea on the tea table, as if they were waiting for her.
This scene was somewhat similar to when she first came to the Chin's Mansion, but Anthea was very aware that it was a world of difference.
At that time, her identity had not yet been discovered.
Anthea nodded to them politely. "Uncle, Aunt."
Meadow was still as gentle as she used to be, and she had taken very good care of herself. When she saw Anthea, she stood up and seemed to want to go forward to greet her, but she managed to hold back the impulse. Her expression was a little bit hesitant, but finally, she smiled at Anthea in a friendly way.
Anthea felt a little warm in her heart.
When she first came to visit Adam's parents, Meadow didn't put on airs and treated her very well. Her words were very friendly, and had no trace of the sense of distance from the rich and powerful family at all. "Have a seat!" Bellamy gestured to Anthea.
Anthea nodded and sat opposite them.
Compared to six years ago, Bellamy had a few white hairs on his temples. However, he did not look dejected and was still very strong and tough. The two deep lines at the corner of his mouth made him look like he was still difficult to get along with.
Anthea curled up her hands on the side of her legs and prepared herself mentally.
She had already guessed that Bellamy would interrogate her.
However, after she sat down, Bellamy did not say anything immediately. Instead, he picked up a document on the tea table and handed it to her, saying, "Miss Lee, have a look at this!"
Anthea took it with both hands in confusion.
She lowered her head, and what came into her sight were two big words, "Application Form".
She continued to read. When she finished reading all the contents, her face suddenly changed.
She widened her eyes.
"What's this?" Anthea's throat tightened.
Bellamy said, "This is Adam's retirement application!"
Anthea's body shook heavily.
Adam wanted to retire from the army!
At this moment, Anthea finally understood what Adam was hiding from her lately.
But why?
Anthea held her breath.
When Bellamy learned of the news, he was just as astonished as she was.
If the old chief hadn't called and told him about this, he would have been kept in the dark even when Adam submitted the application!
As soon as he got the news, he brought back the application at once!
Bellamy said in a deep voice, "Adam doesn't want to be a soldier anymore in order to be with you! The soldiers get promoted every four years, but he has already become a general from a lieutenant colonel in only six years. He has always been called a legend in the army!"
"But now, he decides to give up everything when he had just become the youngest major general in the army, and wants to be an ordinary instructor in the military academy!"
"As his father, I feel very distressed. My son, whom I am always proud of, is now destroying his military career he had built with his blood and life!"
Anthea clenched the application tightly in disbelief.
On the last piece of paper, she saw Adam's signature.
This woman was going to ruin his son.
This was Bellamy's conclusion.
Anthea swallowed slowly.
Bellamy spoke again, "There is another thing, Miss Lee. As far as I know, you don't have any chance of having another baby in your life! Meadow and I have been looking forward to having grandchildren, not to mention that Adam is the eldest son in this family!"
Anthea was speechless.
Her head down, she looked very gloomy.
After seeing Anthea go away, Bellamy picked up his teacup and brought it to his mouth.
But he didn't drink and put it back on the table. Then he let out a long sigh and asked his wife beside him, "Am I too despicable to force a young girl like this again and again?"
Meadow gave him a resentful look, got up and walked away.
Although she did not utter a word, the meaning was clear.
Bellamy had no choice.
He could only be the bad guy, just for his son's good!
And this was not an easy thing to do at all!
