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.
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.
