Chapter 1354
For a moment, the atmosphere became tense.
A furious gunbattle broke out inside and outside the mansion. The people brought by Amelie all took out their weapons and the two sides confronted each other face to face.
One was in the open while the other was in the dark. Except for Adam and Carter, all the other well-trained soldiers were all outside.
The moment the gunshots rang out, Anthea bowed down and went to hide, according to Adam's instructions. There was a rain of bullets, but she no longer had the time to be afraid. Anthea was unable to help them. She could only shoot.
The only thing she could do right now was not to cause any more trouble. At the same time, she tried her best to cover her body from being shot by the airpiercing bullets.
She held the gun in her hand tightly, not daring to relax. She was on full alert.
Even though Adam was fighting fiercely, he never left her, with broad shoulders and back protecting her.
The gunfight lasted for ten minutes.
The people brought by Amelie were either shot or captured.
This was a trap. Now that she had fallen into it and was ambushed, she would not have any chance of winning. Her people and she were completely annihilated.
Amelie was also injured. Her right leg and shoulder were shot, and she fell to the ground awkwardly. All of these were made by Carter in the attic.
In the end, it was Carter, whom she had never respected before, who caught her and handcuffed her.
When everything was settled, Carter hung up the phone and reported, "Captain Chin, we have already notified the local military!"
Adam nodded. He glanced at Amelie coldly with his black eyes and ordered, "Take Amelie away. Leave the others to the local military. Inform our people to leave half an hour later."
"Yes!" Carter nodded.
Vehicles gathered outside and the surviving killers who followed Amelie were all taken away by the military.
Carter also escorted Amelie and strode out.
Everyone was ready to leave. Adam was holding his waist with one hand and negotiating with the people
of local military. Anthea and the other military doctor were packing up their medical cabinet, about to leave with them. Anthea kept looking at Amelie.
After losing her plan, she appeared unusually calm, except for her scarlet eyes glaring at them with hatred.
As she approached the car, Amelie stumbled.
It seemed to be because she was shot in the right leg, she staggered and fell down.
Carter exerted force in his arms, wanting to lift her up.
However, when Amelie fell down, her hands, which had been handcuffed, went down, as if stretching to her ankles.
Anthea's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Overwhelming fear rose from the bottom of her heart.
Anthea saw a small silver pistol in Amelie's hand. It seemed to have been hidden in advance. She quickly turned around and pointed the pistol at Adam, who was standing sideways at the door of the house and was unguarded.
Anthea's little face instantly turned pale.
In a second, Anthea realized that Amelie came with the intention of perishing together. Even if her plan failed in the end, she had another plan...
Amelie pulled the trigger.
Anthea shouted, 'Adam, watch out-"
Almost out of instinct, she rushed over.
Running with all her might, Anthea threw herself into Adam's arms.
Bang!
Bang!
Two successive gunshots sounded.
When Anthea suddenly reminded him, Adam subconsciously pulled out the gun at his waist quickly. The action was done in one smooth motion. A hole appeared on Amelie's forehead and she fell backward with her eyes wide open.
The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder. Amelie was killed on the spot.
However fast he was and no matter how accurate his shot was, it was still a little late. Amelie's shot was one step ahead of his.
Adam didn't feel any pain in his body. In his sight, Anthea fell heavily like a butterfly.
Everyone took a deep breath.
Anthea took the shot for him.
Adam's pupils contracted and his heart seemed to have been clenched by an invisible hand. He was in so much pain that he could not breathe. He said sorrowfully, "Anthea!"
Anthea's ears buzzed. She was held tightly in his arms.
She heard the sound of her blood flowing, but at this moment she felt lucky.
Because he was fine!
Anthea tried to look up, and a great deal of tears welled up in her eyes unconsciously. She moved her lips, wanting to tell him that she was in so much pain. But she could not say a word, and she gradually fainted.
In her last consciousness, Adam shouted at her in a hoarse voice, "Anthea! Anthea..."
The local town was relatively backward, and the medical conditions were limited.
They arranged a helicopter and immediately sent Anthea to the capital, which was the nearest city with the most advanced medical technology.
Because the bullet hit Anthea in the back and it was intractable to take it out, the accompanying military doctor did not dare to act rashly. He could only stop the bleeding first. After landing, Anthea was immediately sent to the hospital's operating room.
The day before yesterday, Bellamy came to attend a ceremony with his wife, Meadow. They happened to be in the capital.
When they were about to leave, they received the unexpected news and immediately rushed to the hospital from the airport.
Anyway, the girl was shot in order to save their son. Now the specific situation was unknown, so they should come to the hospital to care about her.
When they arrived, Anthea, who was wearing a sterile suit, was pushed into the operating room.
Adam's military uniform and both his hands were dyed dark red by Anthea's blood. He stood like a statue in front of the operating room door.
After the doctor came in a hurry, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Doctor, how is it going?"
"Too much blood loss caused her shock!" The doctor paused and said, "It's hard to say what's going on at the moment. Well have an operation next to take out the bullet, but it's a little troublesome, because the bullet is close to the spine. It'll be dangerous!"
"Moreover, even if the operation is successful, it is very likely to cause nervous damage in the process of bullet extraction. The patient is likely to lie in bed for the rest of her life! I advise you to prepare for the worst!"
After solemnly speaking, the doctor quickly entered the operating room.
The door of the operating room was closed and the operation was in progress.
Bellamy and Meadow didn't expect it to be this serious. They looked at each other in shock.
Then they looked at their son at the same time and saw him still standing there, his shadow lengthening on the ground.
The light shone on his face, where there was no emotion. He just stared at the operating room without blinking his eyes, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.
It seemed that if anything bad happened to the person inside, he would leave as well.
Meadow's eyes were red, and she put her palms together and prayed.
Bellamy's expression was solemn as well. He could not help but pray that the young lady inside would be safe.
More than one o'clock in the morning, the door of the operating room finally opened.
