At the nurse station.
After putting the sterilized cotton on the tray, the nurse said a few words and left.
Anthea's hair was tucked behind her ears. The nurse checked Anthea and found many bruises on her arms and five-finger prints on her face. Many of them were messy, crisscrossed, and Anthea's forehead was swollen.
When the nurse was attending to Anthea, she was like a lifeless statue.
Her eyes were dull and pale.
Young Master Chiang took a cotton swab and wiped gently on Anthea's cracked mouth with some ointment. Looking at her dazed look, he asked, "Anthea?"
Anthea finally responded. She turned slowly and said, "Young Master Chiang."
When Jayden wanted to kick her head, Emerson Chiang suddenly appeared and saved her.
If Emerson didn't stop Jayden, Anthea would have been seriously injured.
When Emerson raised his hand to block Jayden's
kick, his hand felt numb.
Thinking of the scene that Anthea curled up in the corridor and was beaten, Emerson felt furious.
"My cousin had a small operation here last night. My uncle and my aunt were abroad. I came to look after her but couldn't fall asleep at another place. I came out for some fresh air and heard that Master Hsu had a car accident. I didn't expect that..." Emerson sighed and said worriedly, "Anthea, don't be too sad. Please take care of yourself!"
Anthea's sore eyes were full of tears.
Looking at her pale face, Emerson felt distressed.
Thinking of how much Anthea had suffered alone and finding that no one was around her to protect her, he frowned and asked, "Has Adam gone on a mission?"
When Emerson mentioned Adam, Anthea's droopy eyelashes suddenly trembled twice.
She clenched her cold hands.
Emerson understood and suddenly sympathized with Anthea even more. He looked at the morning light outside the window and said, "Have you been in the hospital since yesterday? I can take you out to have breakfast. You need to pull yourself together and be strong!"
Emerson dragged Anthea out of the hospital.
Worried that Anthea could not go too far, Emerson took her to a breakfast restaurant on the opposite street.
The restaurant was small, and the environment was ordinary. Most of the people who came to the restaurant were the family members of the patients staying in the hospital. There was only one waiter in the restaurant. The breakfast was placed in the bar for customers to fetch.
Seeing that Anthea was in a trance, Emerson pulled out the chair, help Anthea sit down, and patted her comfortingly, "Anthea, sit here. I'll help you get breakfast!"
Anthea was not hungry at all.
But she couldn't refuse Emerson's kindness. She nodded and said with difficulty, "Thank you."
Emerson raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile, "It's nothing. Wait here. I'll be back soon!"
Feeling worried, Emerson took a glass of warm water and put it in front of Anthea before walking to the bar.
Anthea sat there alone, thinking of everything that happened to her.
"In the past few years, Adam has completed numerous excellent tasks and achieved countless merits. He just got promoted to become a lieutenant colonel, and then he will be a senior captain and colonel. If everything goes as planned, he will become a general!"
"Anthea, my dream is to be a general."
"Anthea, I am your grandfather. Listen to me!"
"According to the surveillance video, the vehicle that caused the accident had driven through the red light at high speed. The elder on the zebra track was in a hurry to cross the road and could not avoid in time, which led to the tragedy!"
"You d*mn brat. It's all your fault..."

The readers' comments on the novel: Purchased A Mr. Right
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 😩...
