The traffic light turned red, and the jeep stopped.
Adam took out a cigarette box from the storage compartment, picked up a cigarette, and put it in his mouth. When he turned on the lighter, he suddenly heard Anthea call him.
’Adam..."
Adam paused for a second and asked, "Yeah?"
Holding her shoulders with both hands, Anthea lowered her head and asked with a very low and trembling voice, "Adam, I'm a little uncomfortable..."
Hearing that, Adam frowned slightly.
The lights turned green, and the cars in front started to drive away. As Adam was urged to move, he threw the lighter on the dashboard, stepped on the accelerator again, and started driving again.
Adam asked Anthea, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
"I don't know..." Anthea said with her head down and shaking gently.
She kept licking her lips, feeling that there was a fire burning in her blood, spreading from her chest to her limbs and bones, making her feel hot.
She felt that her throat was dry, having difficulty speaking and breathing.
Adam didn't know what happened to her. He could tell from her voice that she was not doing well and was in pain. But she lowered her head with her black hair loose, covering her face.
Adam slowed down the speed, stretched out a hand, trying to pull her hair aside to see what had happened.
Adam's hand was long and slender with callus. When it touched the skin around Anthea's ear, she felt limp and numb as if ants were crawling on it.
Subconsciously, Anthea grabbed Adam's hand.
Feeling the strength from Adam's hand, the heat waves in Anthea's body became tenser. Her eyelashes trembled, and she remembered they had fallen from the 10th floor with herself in his arms. The two of them had hugged tightly.
Anthea suddenly wanted to get closer to him, and closer...
Confusion flashed across Adam's eyes. Just as he was about to ask what had happened, he felt Anthea was climbing on him from the right. Her body was soft.
Squeak!
Adam hit the brakes, drove the Jeep to the side of the road, and stopped disorderly.
At some point, Anthea had unfastened the seat belt, gotten up from the passenger seat, and tried to throw herself into his arms.
Only then did Adam realize that the flush on Anthea's face had reddened. Not only her cheekbones but even her ears and even her entire neck had turned red. Her watery eyes were misty as she stared unblinkingly at him.
She was drugged!
Adam immediately realized it when he saw her face.
As Anthea squeezed into his arms, he also felt hot as his chest heaving tensely, "Anthea, be sober!"
"Adam, I feel so hot, so awful..."
At this time, Anthea could only follow her instinct, trying to get close to Adam desperately.
As the drug took effect, the heat waves were torturing her unstoppably. She lost her consciousness gradually, and her eyelids were red. In the end, there were only vague mumblings left, "Adam, Adam..."
In a few seconds, Anthea had already squeezed onto the driver's seat.
Adam held Anthea on the shoulder and tried to wake her up with some strength. However, Anthea couldn't feel anything at this time, looking at Adam with her charming eyes and biting her pink lips lightly.
She was like a kitten, trying to get into his arms.

Hate deception and Abby and Dylan take the cake ,ugh...
NO!!! Tina belongs with Wilson…. Let Dylan and Abby get together...
Wow, once again the villain messes up the true love, Abby needs to go back abroad. And Tina’s true identity as the daughter of Bill Ambrey needs to be exposed! Then the families can “convenience marry” !! Abby is a witch....
Too bad Wilson can’t figure out that his and Tina’s ex’s and his cousin Desmond are conniving creeps!...
Anthea is so stupid, lying and leaving the man who loves her more than life itself. 🤬...
She deserves to be unhappy, being with someone she doesn’t love because of resentment for the exact thing she is doing, hopefully she ends up with no one. Calvin is a wimp and doesn’t love her, just wants a wife to please his family....
So the same basic story as Simon and Addy but stupid Emily is going to marry him! What a hypocrite! Ugh...
Emily gets more stupid every chapter, when did she pickup Calvin as a fiancé!!?? This story line is awful….very sad to do to Simon what she “thought” he had done but didn’t. She is truly a dumb woman. Simon never loved or really even cared for Addy….what the hell is she doing with someone she doesn’t even know or like/love. Awful 😢...
Emily is a fool, don’t let go of the man who truly loves you. Let go of the past, of which he did nothing but help someone who saved his life, and be happy with him… he is your soulmate....
Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face Emily. Just stupid! Ugh 😩...
