Emerson turned his attention to Anthea's legs. "Little girl, what's wrong with your legs?"
"Just a little wound!" Anthea's answer was concise.
"You were so careless... Is it serious?" Emerson asked with concern.
Anthea shook her head. "It's not serious. The plaster is about to be taken down!"
"Uh-Huh!" Emerson nodded. He wanted to continue chatting with her, but his mobile phone suddenly rang. He had to look at it and said, "I have something to do now. I have to go. Anthea, I have a feeling that we're destined to meet again!"
"Goodbye, Young Master Chiang!" Anthea smiled politely.
Emerson held back his eagerness to stretch out his hand when he noticed that Anthea was looking at him warily. He was afraid that he would be embarrassed if Anthea refused to shake hands with him.
Emerson turned around and left after saying "goodbye" to her. Suddenly, he stopped and shouted, "Oh... I forgot to say something. Little girl, you look so beautiful in this red skirt! You're just like a Fairy
Flower today!"
Anthea was speechless.
She was still very happy when she heard the first sentence,"... so beautiful in this red skirt!" But the corners of her lips twitched when she heard the last sentence.
"What does Fairy Flower mean? I don't like it!" she thought angrily.
Anthea watched Emerson's straight figure getting into a luxury car parked in the distance. Then, she took back her sight. Suddenly, she heard the horn of a car. She turned back and see that the green jeep was near her.
Adam got out of the jeep and carried her to the passenger seat.
Soon after the doors were closed, the jeep left the supermarket.
The sunshine was bright in the afternoon, and it streamed through the windshield, which made it warm and comfortable inside the jeep. However, Anthea found that air of coldness was slowly coming from the depths of Adam's black eyes, and his face seemed to be a little gloomy.
Anthea blinked her eyes doubtfully.
Adam looked over and his chin looked powerful. "Did someone talk to you just now?"
"Ah?" Anthea was stunned.
Then she realized who he was talking about. She could not help pursing her lips to laugh.
"Adam must be jealous!" She thought.
"What you imagined is not true!" Anthea tried to console him immediately. She realized that her relationship with Emerson had not been mentioned to him yet, and therefore she continued, "It's someone I know! Do you remember that I once accompanied my grandpa to attend a birthday party before? At that time..."
Anthea roughly told Adam what happened that day: She carelessly broke the artwork of spring scene in the bathroom; Emerson jumped into the man-made river to save a child and was wounded; She help Emerson to bandage his wound, etc.
After hearing this, Adam's facial features softened a little. He was surprised, "Emerson Chiang?"
"Yes... Everyone calls him Young Master Chiang!" Anthea nodded.
Adam frowned and said, "You should stay away from him."
"Well..." Anthea replied obediently, "Grandpa also had told me the same thing! But... Are you two enemies?" "Almost." Adam said calmly.
Anthea nodded and leaned forward to hug his arm, flattering him, "I'll always stand by your side."
Time seemed to pass quickly in winter.
The doctor wearing a white gown stood up and said, "According to the X-ray photographs, the fracture is basically healed. The plaster can be removed now. When you go back home, you can apply hot compress in your spare time, and take some medicines for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis! Try to avoid walking frequently. Although the bones have been healed, they are not very strong now. It will take approximately a hundred days for the bones to become strengthened. For this reason, you'll need to be more careful in the future!"
"Alright." Adam nodded.
Anthea put down her trouser legs bit by bit.

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 😩...
