It was the private hospital Anthea worked in. And it was the morning.
Carter, who was wearing a hospital gown, lay on the hospital bed as usual. He looked quite listless.
On the third day after the surgery for gastric perforation, he was able to walk now, but he could only eat liquid, which made him really uncomfortable.
At this time, someone knocked on the door of the ward, and a petite figure came in.
Carter thought that it was his wife, Kaylee. He smiled brightly as a blooming flower. When he saw the person who had come in, he immediately put away his smile.
A female soldier with short hair came in with a fruit basket in her hand.
Carter's tone was not very warm, "What's the matter?"
The female soldier walked to the bedside and said with a smile, "Carter, I'm entrusted by Amelie to come visit you! She urged me again and again to buy this fruit basket for you!"
The woman was on good terms with Amelie
Celestin. To be exact, she was a sidekick of Amelie.
Carter says coldly: "Oh, then you can put it there!"
The female soldier stood up for Amelie "Actually, Amelie wanted to come see you by herself. But she's been too busy lately, so she asked me to give her a favour! She wants you to rest well!"
"Okay, got it." Carter put on a false smile.
"Then I'll put the fruit basket here. We hope you can recover as soon as possible!" The female soldier said.
Carter glanced at the fruit basket and snorted in his heart.
It was obvious that the fruit basket cost a lot. All the fruit was imported. However, cost didn't equal to sincere concern.
He had finished the operation and would be discharged in a few days!
Amelie Celestin was just making fashion.
Since Anthea broke up with Adam six years ago, Amelie had become active.
The Chin Family preferred Amelie to be their daughter-in-law. In the army, many people regarded the two of them as a golden couple.
Carter secretly curled his lips.
He knew that if it weren't for his boss Adam Chin, the proud Amelie would not even give him a glance.
If Amelie knew that Adam came to the hospital every day, she would have come in flesh.
Carter looked at the fruit basket in disdain. He was going to give it all to the nurses who were working hard!
He only had one sister-in-law! Amelie could just forget about Adam!
Carter laid down the pillow, closed his eyes and said, "I'm sleepy and I'm going to sleep. Make yourself at home!"
The female soldier was just following Amelie's order. She had long wanted to get away after the mission had been completed. When she heard this, she laughed and said, "Then take a good rest, Carter. I won't disturb you anymore. I'll go back first!"
Anthea had been busy since she came to the hospital this morning.
She wore a white coat with a green surgical gown inside.
After making round of the wards, she went on two operations, one major and one minor. It was nothing to her, but she got up late in the morning and didn't eat anything. She was so hungry that she felt dizzy.
Anthea took out a piece of candy from her pocket. Just as she was about to open the package and put it into her mouth, someone suddenly ran into her.
Candy fell to the ground.
"Don't come near me, don't come near me!"
Suddenly, a sharp cry was heard.
After being hit, Anthea was hit to the wall.
She turned around and saw a middle-aged woman in hospital gown. She was holding a bottle of liquid and shouting, "I've got sulfuric acid in my hand. I'll throw it at whoever comes near!"
Everyone screamed in fear at the sound of sulfuric acid.
The patients and nurses in the corridor were all in a panic.
Two security guards arrived very quickly and had already surrounded her, "Lady, please calm down!"
Adam saw her pale face and stroked her back with his palm, "Don't be afraid, Anthea. It's okay."
"Yes..." Anthea nodded.
She was really frightened just now!
She was so hungry that she felt dizzy and she was not as agile as usual. So she failed to run away in time.
If it was really sulfuric acid, she would be disfigured directly!
Fear still lingered in her heart.
Anthea curled up her fingers that had been cold due to fear.
In her sight was his military shirt, the button on his collar unbuttoned. At a very close distance, she could see his collarbones, and it was as if her breathing were caressing them.
She was still in his embrace.
Did she still cling to the warmth of the moment in his arms?
Her cell phone rang. Anthea suddenly came to her sense and pushed him away hurriedly.
She glanced at the her phone and said, "Thank you, Uncle Adam." Then, she calmly picked up the phone. "Hello, Victor..."
After nodding to Adam, she went away while answering the phone.
After the chaos ended, the middle-aged woman was taken away by the security guards, and the others were also dispersed. The cleaner came up and cleaned up the ground.
From the elevator not far away, someone looked at them in shock.
This person was none other than the female soldier who walked out of Carter hospital ward.
The female soldier was waiting for the elevator. Suddenly, she heard the noise and watched the chaos with curiosity. Then she saw the terrifying Hell-king Chin holding a woman in his arms with gentleness all over his face...
The female soldier couldn't believe it.
After seeing the two of them separate, the female soldier also hurriedly ran away.
